CIRCLING THE DRAIN

Large Cities All Over America Are Degenerating Into Gang-Infested War Zones
By Michael, on January 6th, 2013

Large U.S. cities that the rest of the world used to look at in envy are now being transformed into gang-infested hellholes with skyrocketing crime rates. Cities such as Chicago, Detroit, Camden, East St. Louis, New Orleans and Oakland were once bustling with economic activity, but as industry has fled those communities poverty has exploded and so has criminal activity. Meanwhile, financial problems have caused all of those cities to significantly reduce their police forces. Sadly, this same pattern is being repeated in hundreds of communities all over the nation.

The mainstream media loves to focus on mass shooters such as Adam Lanza, but the reality is that gang violence is a far greater problem in the United States than mass shooters ever will be. There are approximately 1.4 million gang members living in America today according to the FBI. That number has shot up by a whopping 40 percent just since 2009. There are several factors fueling this trend.

Unemployment among our young people is at an epidemic level, about one out of every three U.S. children lives in a home without a father, and there are millions of young men who have come into this country illegally and have no way to legally support themselves once they arrive in our cities. Gangs provide a support system, a feeling of “community”, and a sense of purpose for many young people. Unfortunately, most of these gangs use violence and crime to achieve their goals, and they are taking over communities all over America. If your community is not a gang-infested war zone yet, you should consider yourself to be very fortunate. If nothing is done about this, the violence and the crime that is fueled by these gangs will continue to spread, and eventually nearly every single community in the United States will be affected by it.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the large cities all over America that are degenerating into gang-infested war zones…

Remember back in the early 50's. Everybody thought they were so cute with their DA haircuts, Black jackets w/writing on the back hanging out on corners.
Remember the higher ups saying OH, it's just a faze. How's that faze working for ya now?

Unfortunately these anti social behaviors are very prominent in the black community.
They are programmed or "hard wired" for mob and gang dependency for survival in the wild.
This behavior is nothing more than them not making it as far up the evolutionary ladder as others.

This is to be Maryland future as a result of Secretary Hall's myopic blunder. Maryland Department of Planning's propaganda machine refers to it as Smart Growth!

David Duke used to say that we should welcome a nuclear war, the targets are our main cities, and they’re nothing but Gang infested slums, getting them whipped out would be a blessing to America!

Yeah, great idea, 4:41, I hope you live in that neighborhood, or there is an "unfortunate mistake" that takes you out accidentally.

There is more to be said to you, but Joe won't print it.
