It's the ghetto ness that makes it stupid.

Gangs, packs, tribes, cliques, etc is human nature

Crack changed things.
Crack was a blip in Chicago. And the "Ashland Vikings" were not once a swede street gang.

...and totally irrelevant to 99% of people in the area they claim. I love watching street gangs fade away, most of them are tough largely in the 3-6 pm time frame between when school gets out and adults get home from work.

Yes...love that idea. Given that I am in no position for anyone of importance to hear my opinions, it really doesn't matter how I think the best way to drive the scum out of the city is, but I have one. I think it is disgusting that people actually believe gang activity is normal and acceptable.

Do you know people who think that way? I don't.

Norwegian and Danish Vikings were a lot more trouble than the Swedish ones anyway.
