ok, i just watched this and it answered quite a few questions.
1) the gangbangers don't go in thinking, "i'm going to be a better banger". this is way off. they go to go or get away from the gang.
2) if the bangers stop vandalizing shit, let them be in the military. if they work hard, whatever.
3) learning military tactics is nothing new. look who killed kennedy, fucking marines. look who shot people in the texas tower. more marines. shit, we should be more worried about marines killing people.
4) most of the gangsters that are causing problems come from illegal mexicans. we wouldn't have to worry about nortenos and surenos if we had better immigration laws, but this is a whole thread to have that discussion.
moral of the story, gangs have very unoriginal names. northerners/southerners/el campo. wow.
