Yes, so stop.
You keep wondering why you get alerted.
Wonder no more.
too many here use this forum as a lifeline, unable to cope in the real world.

@athousandyoung saidYou do seem to have a point about then v. now, as far as Jewish gangs go, but not the Italian ones, they thrive today.
You don't think Jews in 1930 " were deprived at birth because of their ethnicity"?!
The Irish came fleeing the Famine. The Sicilians fled extreme poverty as well.
Notice none of those criminal traditions are particularly active today now that they've established themselves in society. Yeah there are remnants but nothing like the 1920's.
Boardwalk Empire clip - "I know what an empty belly feels like"

And of course, an "empty belly" surely plays a role, but I don't think that all gang leaders were once hungry kids.
@moonbus saidGood points.
Well, you have to look at what’s driving gangs. In many cases, I suspect it’s profit. So what are they selling? Mostly contraband, right? The infamous Chicago mobs got their start during Prohibition selling liquor. That was a stupid law which did not stop people drinking; it led directly to the rise of criminal gangs which could not be eradicated even after Prohibition was re ...[text shortened]... ose items were legalized, regulated, and taxed, like cigarettes, the gangs would be out of business.
They've legalized weed where I live. But the retailers are heavily charged for a license, and then there is taxation.
The end result is, the cost of legal weed is higher than the street stuff. lol
@suzianne said@Crips - Collection of Rubbish Infiltrating People's Safety
It's Crips, not Crypts.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crips
The Crips is an alliance of street gangs which is based in the coastal regions of southern California. Founded in Los Angeles, California, in 1969, mainly by Raymond Washington and Stanley Williams, the Crips were initially a single alliance between two autonomous gangs; it is now a loosely-connected network o ...[text shortened]... e represented "Community Revolutionary Interparty Service" or "Community Reform Interparty Service".
@capacrapa saidABSOLUTELY!
@Suzianne
Nice twisted stats.
Per 100 thousand? OK now show the population of those cites and the demographics.
Also provide the racial stats of the victims/perps
You're using leftist politically correct BS stats.
Use real stats.
If given a choice, where do you think these lefty white bread casper milquetoast's would want to live?
@earl-of-trumps saidThe Italian gangs are not thriving today. RICO destroyed that life. Again, there are remnants, but that’s it.

[youtube Oz clip]
From above Oz clip:
Nino, your troops are thinning, they’re getting older, more anemic…the Blacks and Latinos are taking over, both on the street and in here…let’s face it, the days of the Mafia are over!
(Removed Franceze clip because irrelevant)
@mott-the-hoople said"Cancel culture" doesn't exist either, really.
its because of the libs here cant stand on their own, they rely on the leftist moderator(s) here to get their way. cancel culture in full swing.

Again, like southern white racists, it's just stupid people saying stupid sh--. Yet they don't expect to have to pay for the stupid sh-- they say. I mean, really? Is your privilege that strong?
It's like saying MTG is getting "cancelled". No, people just aren't putting up with her BS, is all.
@shavixmir saidHey at least you found common ground! Nobody with an ounce of humanity, or even a tiny moral compass wants to hear what you've got to say. I picture dead fish falling out your mouth with every vulgar thing you say.
Did I rattle a 💩-bucket?
No. So shut up and fukk off. Nobody wants to hear what you’ve got to say.
As for stats, almost 10x more kids were shot in Chicago just in 2021 than have been shot in American schools dating back to Columbine.
Score: Chicago, 2021 415 kids, aged 17 or younger
Entire nation since Columbine 185 kids
But, the mostly black on black crime with wildfire going in all directions, injuring and maiming and killing kids, simply doesn't fit the liberal agenda.
Now, back to your stupid, ignorant, VERY low IQ, trash talk.
@liljo saidNobody care if a 17 year old Latin King gets shot by his Gangster Disciple rivals stop playing games with the statistics.

46 Shot During Memorial Weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s Chicago
Forty-six people were shot, ten of them fatally, during Memorial Day weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago.
Happy Holiday, everybody!! Now, some words from the great Tony Bennet
Chicago

Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin' town
Chicago, Chicago, I'll show you around
Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in Chicago
Chicago, the town that Mart Faye could not shut down
On State Street, that great street
I just want to say
They do things that they don't do on Broadway, say
They have the time, the time of their life
I saw a man, he danced with his wife
In Chicago, home town
They have the time, the time of their life
I saw a man, he danced with his wife
In Chicago

@Earl-of-Trumps
Yeah because you and the rest of the zombie republicans don't like truth.
You just like to think Trump is the best POTUS in US history. Which is a pile of cow manure.
@athousandyoung saidI dunno. Maybe somewhere in Leftville there is still some semblance of humanity that actually still cares when gangsters' stray bullets kill a 10-year old child two blocks away from the actual gunfight.
Nobody care if a 17 year old Latin King gets shot by his Gangster Disciple rivals stop playing games with the statistics.
Not you of course, but someone out there still cares.
