Old School Gang Perspective
People today have no perspective on gangs and drugs. The middle class, who have never had to worry for anything and have always had jobs and safety nets waiting for them to fall into, look at criminal activity and see people who aren't trying hard enough, because they believe the myth that anyone can make it in America. The gangs themselves are the results of poverty and class warfare - of a neighborhood that people have forgotten about.

Class warfare is a means for politicians to keep power. Poverty is no excuse for one's actions. Bad parenting and missing fathers are the biggest causes of gang growth. The rest can be sorted out, but if a kid doesn't have a daddy who cares, he's already lost. Some of us nearly were even though we had our fathers.
