Jackie Fellows [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi Sue Couldn't agree with you more. I really liked how he showed both sides of the issue--the lack of support for the police (financially, socially, etc.) in their efforts and the lack of knowledge of why the emergence of such gangs--or rather, not knowledge, just convenient forgetfulness of some of the important reasons. The gangs today are so different than those historically and I think the author really pointed that out. jackief Sue Hartigan wrote: Sue Hartigan [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi Jackie: I might give them an idea of what is real, that is for sure.

It made a lot of sense to me. Glad you liked it. :) Sue Hi Sue Guess she will have to do the talk show circuit. (I know, be nice). Off topic: I am just about done with the book. It is great. I really like the writer's style. He brings a lot of other material in that really gives you a picture of what the LE is facing. jackief -- Two rules in life: 1.
