THREE THINGS TO GET A HANDLE ON GANG PROBLEM
It's unfortunate that the gang problem has gotten to the point where
innocents are getting caught in the crossfire, like that young Hobbema
woman. Unfortunately it's partly due to a lack of political will, not
to mention political correctness. If we really want to get a handle of
it, we need to do three things: 1. Speak about the problem in all
honesty; 2. Hit those gangs with every tool in the criminal code
non-stop until they are disbanded. 3. Find ways to dry up their money
supply, even if it means legalizing minor drugs or
prostitution.
