How do we ban gangs?

Judges cant even deal with disq drivers let alone armed robbers,in the ODT today some bloke with 31 driving whilst disq charges was given 300 hours community work for the latest one.

FFS! I, and many other KB'ers, harp on about softcock judges and I'm sure we represent a reasonable (?) slice of this nation's population. If the majority want something done, why isn't it?

Because we have a thing called democracy. You don't get what you want. You want what you get. And, be happy for it. Afterall, democracy is a good thing. The propaganda box tells us so.

Generally speaking you're right about parenting skills but it's not always the case. I know of an individual who is in Parry for life. He was convicted of murder, supposedly shot someone 'execution style', I don't know for sure, I wasn't there. However, he had neat, hardworking parents. They were old school, great moral standing, no b/s people. This guy's siblings aren't in trouble with the law, don't think they ever have been. I'm not even sure if the convicted member of this family even had any priors.

I can honestly say that, in this case, perenting was not to blame. People make a choice, whether it's to pull a trigger OR join a gang.

Yep that's a tuff one alright, don't know of anyone like that myself, only ever seem to hear of bad eggs coming from bad eggs but guess it does happen. Surely it would have to represent a pretty small percentage of crims one would think.

hmm .. a good question .. what is it about gangs that make people want to join ... purpose? family unit? to be acknowleged and appreciated? respect? ego? safety? glamour? ... these are some of the core attributes as to why some people join ... controlling them? taking them out of operation? banning? unless you get to the core of it .. they'll only go underground .. why are gangs operational to begin with ... because they are allowed to be .. everyone doesn't want gangs .. but not a lot of people will actually do anything pro-active, there is no unification plight to change things ... there are more non-gang members than gang members in any country .. so why do they have power? .. somethings to think about

When I first read the title, I thought you wanted to know how to organise a "gang ban"
