Telemundo Nueva Inglaterra captured video of a 16-year-old girl’s face being held on the ground by Worcester police officers; she and her mother were detained in an apparent ICE operation
What we really need is the gangs to step in and protect thier territory from ICE. They have networks of people who can hide them if they get identified. And good luck to the agents who come and try to arrest them. The cycle will just build and build.
In my limited experience of just living in bad neighborhoods, most gangs I’ve encountered are just small groups of kids that sell drugs, rob, burglarize, fight, and occasionally kill kids in other small groups. From talking to older people that were in gangs (well, they still consider themselves to be in a gang, but the gang doesn’t functionally exist or do anything), things were much different in the 80s and 90s. Guessing it differs depending on the city though (there aren’t really “territories” in my city; drugs are sold through apps/text).
Hadn’t really considered gangs… I wonder if this will drive them into some unity. If they got over the whole red vs blue bullshit or racial focus, their combined force would be one to be reckoned with.
…fucking sad when literal gang violence is being floated as a plausible solution to active tyranny.
Pulling a gun in this situation will absolutely, without a doubt, get you killed. If that’s the way you want to go, that’s your decision, but it’s not going to do anything to protect you.
And if you don’t pull a gun in this situation it will absolutely, without a doubt, get you killed. If that’s the way you want to go, that’s your decision, but compliance is not going to do anything to protect you.
…and if those are the options, might as well drop a Nazi or two on your way out.
If you don’t have a gun yet, now might be the time.

Apparently the cripts have gotten more diverse. Probably because that generational wealth gap has started to fade away.
