Gangs and crime: How extensive is the problem in Montgomery Co.?

"One way in which the Latino community is affected by gang violence is connected to the recent influx of unaccompanied minors to the United States."
ROCKVILLE, Md. — Montgomery County police report that typically, they may have one, perhaps two, gang-related homicides in any given year. Last year, there were eight, most of whom are also gang members.

“It’s not random victims — these are targeted victims,” Montgomery County Police Chief Tom Manger told the county council Thursday night.

Manger directed the council members to maps in a packet provided by police that pinpointed where juvenile crime — not just gang-related crime — occurs. He highlighted clusters of criminal activity in the Cinnamon Woods area of Germantown, in Montgomery Village, in Aspen Hill, in White Oak and in the Briggs-Chaney area of the county.

During the hourslong briefing, Montgomery County Council Member George Leventhal took pains to emphasize that gang activity shouldn’t be seen as a problem in the Latino community alone, and Manger’s description of the problem bolstered that.

  1. Latino gang banging in Latino communities. However "it shouldn't be seen as a problem in the Latino community?"
    This can only make sense to a Democrat; just deny and ignore the facts.

  2. I'm shocked that this can be happening in a progressive-ultra-liberal
    sanctuary county like Montgomery.
