When will the violence stop? Everyday innocent lives are taken away by rival gang members. There is no need for gangs to corrupt these neigborhoods. But who can stop them? We can't take away their rights because the second amendment states, "Right to keep and bear arms".
Just three years ago, members of the Latin Kings killed an innocent women, Jeri Lynn Dotson. She witnessed a crime they had committed and they needed to cover their trail. It's getting dangerous and we the people are becoming powerless. Jose Negrete a Latin King leader will stand his ground and position. He is on trial for ordering Angel Hernandez to kill Ms. Dotson. Roberto Rodriguez was a former leader of Latin Kings but agreed to testify against Jose Negrete to have his sentence reduced. Words spread and eventually he was burned with hot water and baby oil.
Ms. Dotson had also put herself in this position. She witness the kidnapping of Alex Ruiz another gang, Netas. She dated someone from Netas and Latin Kings weren't sure if they could trust her. To hold their silence, they murdered her. The population of these gangs are growing and the market is helping them. Just a few months ago, the New York Post published an article that New Era were producing hats for gang members. Depending on which gang your in, a color bandana was wrapped around the hate. Such as, red for Bloods, blue for Crips and yellow for Latin Kings also embroidered with stones to form a crown.
Will law enforcement ever be able to bring down these gang members? Maybe these gangs are in it just for protection but they are also putting their family lives in danger. There is no stopping these people, its just all related to money, drugs & violence. There will be no end.
