Why do gangs exist? It's because poor males are raised without working fathers. Thank the welfare system.>>

No,no, no. They exist because they are not educated and therefore not able to think past gangs.

Get them started in a free pre school with meals and keep them going and they will by pass gangs.

It has noting to do with dads at all.

That is just right wing made up stuff. Not social science.

My city is considered the 6th most dangerous city in the country. When I grew up there were gangs everywhere. It never crossed my mind to join one; and later when I went to our community college I saw many many previous gang members there and they had all quit it.

We have to reach intellectual critical mass in kids before the gang stage starts.
