"According to the cops, Latino gangs operate on a whole different set of principles (this may not be the best word here). First, they're in for life; Edward James Olmo did a movie about Latino gangs several years ago."
WizardMarks, Central I don't think Wizard should be getting her information about gangs from a movie. Remember those are fiction. The police have a very loose definition of what it means to be a gang member. I think it is replacing other, less politically correct terms, for poor inner city black men. It is easier to say you want to get rid of gang members then to say you want to get rid of black people. In my mind a gang is an organized group with top down leadership, which no one is suggesting for the situation over North. Mark Wilde Windom Park __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
