Answer 3

I was related to a gang member so I know why they are a big problem. Robberies, drug dealing, harassment, and killing are the main reasons gangs are a problem. Gangs make alot of money selling drugs. Drugs is their main source of income. The main person behind the scenes has access to thousand of dollars worth of drugs, and they distribute these drugs to various people in the gang to sell to make money for the gang. alot of drug dealers in gangs are teenagers. The gang uses the money they make to buy guns or bail gang members out. The guns they obtain are usually bought off the streets and have been used by other people in prior crimes. The way it works is that the cops no longer need the guns that they had as evidence, so they get rid of them. And those guns end up back on the streets. That allows gang members to buy these guns from whoever is selling them. Robberies are a problem because a lot of these home invasion robberies are committed by gang members and it sometimes results in someone who is home at the time of the robbery to accidentally be murdered by the gang member committing the robbery. Other robberies include stealing cars. They steal cars as part of a gang initiation. Once someone has been initiated into the gang they have to prove themselves by stealing vehicles. People robberies is also common. The gang members will often frequent places like parks where they can rob people at gun or knife point. They will often do this at night rather than daylight to avoid being noticed by possible witnesses. Cab driver robberies are also common. Some of the gang members will call taxis and then rob them at gun or knife point. This has also resulted in cab drivers being murdered. They get murdered because they refuse to hand over the money. Harassment is also a problem. gang members including girls in gangs will harass individuals especially ones they know are related to rival gang members or people who are wearing the wrong colors. So for example, if you're in a neighborhood where there are gang members who wear black and blue or just blue, and you're wearing red they might think you are in a rival gang and attempt to harass you. They might harrass you if you are of another nationality and don't live in the neighborhood. If they know you are related to a rival gang member, and you live in their neighborhood they will harass you when ever they see you. It could even result in you getting murdered. Killing is also a big problem. There are many reasons gang members kill. 1. They might kill people related to rival gang members. 2. They kill drug addicts or any individual who owes them money and hasn't paid. If you don't pay the gang members they will find out where you live and your phone number. They will harass you about paying them the money you owe. If they know you can't come up with the money they will kill you. 3. They kill any person who claims to be related to a gang member and isn't and people who claim to be members of their gang and aren't, and they kill anyone who snitches 100% on gang members. If you say you are related to a gang member, and they find out you aren't, you could get killed. If you claim to be a member of their gang, and they know you aren't you could get killed. I went to school with a kid in 1991 who snitched on 26 gang members and got killed. 4. They sometimes kill an innocent person by mistake. They will be looking for certain individuals and might come across a person who looks like the individual they are looking for, and they will end up killing that person instead of the person they were actually looking for because they believe they found the person they were looking for. There have been incidents where they try to kill kids related to rival gang members and kill the wrong kid because they look like the kid they were looking for. Another problem that is minor is people related to gang members. I have found that some people related to gang members think they have the right to tell individuals if they want to get killed. They act as if the gang members they are related to are gonna go and kill anyone for them which is not true. I had one guy as I was walking down the street ask me if I wanted to get killed. My cousins Ex-Boyfriend has a bad attitude and once told me If I wanted to get killed. If someone you don't know or just met tells you do you want to get killed most likely they are related to gang members and think they have the right to threaten peoples lives. I heard of one guy who would harass people because his cousin was a gang member, and then when these people he harassed would answer him back, he would tell them he was gonna get his cousin to kill them. His cousin found out what he was doing and got mad at him. In reality, even thought gang members kill, alot of these gang members say they feel guilty about taking lives. They don't really want to take lives and regret it in life. Yet, some of their relatives just think they are gonna go and blast anyone with a gun.
