TammyPetersen87 Take the law into your own hands. They the gangs wil listen if we start killing them in public and burning down houses of suspected drug dealers. How many kids have to die before we avenge them?
TammyPetersen87 Shocking!!! Why are the cops not conducting random raids in the areas where they know gangs exist. Cops know all this. Gang warfare is not new, its been going on for years, yet cops are no nearer to curbing this problem.
