There's some things they cannot steal, so they use money to attain it - like relationships with women who are just as hardy. Also to impress.

trust your spidy sence. I have found that in all my dealings with people that you have to trust your gut instinct. call it esp or whatever but the human mind can read things in people on a subconcious level. However if a gang of hoods and thugs ask's to borrow money id think twice!

Gangs have been in existence for as long as there have been inhabitants of this world. The word thug dates back to India in the year 1200 AD and it refers to a gang of criminals (Thugz) that roamed the country pillaging towns in their course. These Thugz had their own symbols, hand signs, rituals and slang. In the United States, we grew up with tales of our own form of thugs like pirates and gangsters, therefore, gangs, undoubtedly, are not a new concept. \n\nSo...no...I don't believe that COlors "created" more gangs. I think circumstances like socio-economic issues and lack of adult guidance helps to create gangs. \n\nDuvall? He's cool. He should go to sleep every night with a clear conscious.

because they were stealing music. actually it was more like getting paid to give people acess to OTHER peoples music.

Keeping gangs housed togather allows gangs to easily establish game plans for corruption. Do you think that the violence stops in the prison, if you do, then you haven't worked in one. Extortion, prostitution, drugs and assaults are just some of the reasons gangs exist in the prison system. If they are all housed in the same unit then the synergy would be so great that each gang would have a tremendous amount of power. To the little guy who goes in for some bounced check would most likely end up serving an additional 20 years plus for killing someone and if he doesn't then he will be killed. Now he is stuck in the system. \n\nI see this all to often without separation. Random housing is the best way to house inmates.

I would say so . . if you can give me any good benefits to having organized crime in this world I would love to hear it. \n\nAll gangs do is go around pushing drugs, killing people, stealing everything . . I only wish they could see the negative effect they have on this world. \n\nNot to mention our youth wouldn't be so illiterate . .

circumstances dictate how this question is answered. But I do believe that road gangs and hard labor should be used to help pay for the cost of keeping them in prison.  I also think that if they are in prison then they should only have the necessities provided not any luxuries after all it is supposed to be punishment.

Yes I've been mugged but the mugger lost...hahahahaha.  I was bigger than he was.  Anywho, if someone had a weapon and wanted my money, they can have it...it's only money.

In the USA gangs are gangs of people who are together for one reason or another. As long As YOU DO NOT COMMIT A CRIME what is their to fight about.\n\nIn other countries for instance in Central America, gangs kill, rape, steal etc from people all the time.\n\nThese people should be held accountable for their crimes. In Guatemala the police are afraid of them and they are just like mafia! What can be done about this problem. Kill them one by one until they become just gang members.

Don't they carry any?  They should be. How else would they catch the thugs who are armed? That would make them very vulnerable to attack.

Some really need help. There are places that do help. Some use it as a way to make a living. Did you know they have a school to teach you how to be a begger or hobo. During the day they ask for money, at night they go home to their Mansions and fine cars and families.

They pay pennies on the dollar for what is usually stolen goods.

I didn't know those existed in Cali.  If they all ran off, it's probably because Paris Hilton keeps stealing their men.
