What can you do to stop gang wars?

Answer 1

I think it is an unimaginable Horror to have someone killed by a 'drive by' especially if they are innocent. Anyone killed by a 'drive by' is a tragedy and when you hear of an innocent person -- someone who has nothing to do with the gang activity -- killed by a 'drive by' it is utterly shameful.

I would like to know why the U.S. government has not tried imposing martial law over the area of say South Central Los Angeles. I think it has been established through past activity that the local law enforcement is unable to maintain public order and safety. I believe the problem is too big, martial law seems the answer.

The President of the United States should deploy a military engagement to this area. They should have tanks roll in and snipers in place, a logistical plan should be implemented to warn and defend the innocent; plenty of fair warning should be given in a gradual manner from months to weeks to days. Then when the time had arrived anyone still adament about engaging in this 'gang violence' should be executed by the snipers. This should continue for weeks or even months until this extraordinary rule of 'gangs' is eliminated. How could the government or the citizens tolerate some child being shot?! How could the government not say 'enough is enough'?? Well, I know there would be the excuses of freedom and persecution of people in a certain socioeconomic sector of society....and pulling the other way we have television shows 'gangland' on the History Channel or other shows of the like.

I feel we dealt with mafia and now their grip is much different. You don't make a tv show about it, its crime not a culture, although there are criminal cultures, it shouldn't be treated like entertainment.

Answer 2

Gangs have always been a problem ever since one caveman decided to bully another. In today's society, the "solution" is a three pronged attack. One is to cooperate with the police forces. When the police know where and when gangs operate, they can be more effective in dealing with the problems associated with them. Another is to be part of a neighborhood watch. Criminal activity can be curtailed when many eyes are watching. Crime lives in the dark, so shine the light of neighborhood in the street and the gang will go elsewhere. Deglamourize the gange lifestyle. A child will be attracted to the seemingly attractive lifestyle made popular by certain styles of music. When the reality of prison and/or jail is shown to young people, they quickly find that such brutality is not to their taste. So! Education, community, and cooperation are all important steps to stopping gang activity.
