Ideas to address Venezualan street gang issue?

[lightbulb27]

Obvious this was going to happen. 2 NY cops gunned down in June, gang growing... no wonder, there's a bunch of young males with no hope. More in USA will suffer, lets hope it isn't you or I.

If you think it's a right wing media talking point, then feel free to read about it from CNN...

Solutions? Note... it is very hard to fix messes... there may be no solution without suffering and more than one approach may be needed.

A) catch and return - note Venezuela isn't taking them back...

B) Catch and work with professionals and other countries to rehabilitate and provide hope

C) Put in jail... note, they take over jails.

D) Put in military

Apparently the residents in the actual area have called this a “narrative” and have said Landlord Accountability NOT Building Condemnation.

A mother living in that neighborhood has said that she didn’t witness one act of gang activity let alone violence in general so I don't know might be a more complicated issue.

I have no say since I haven’t had time to research everything yet.

Social media needs to stop making being a gang banger cool or a shooter cool!

The media needs to make every one know these people are wrong don't give them any attention and don't share any names.

No 5 minutes of fame Thier name all over for a day or two! Anonymous criminals!

No gang name sharing nothing!

Honestly tired of every one screaming no guns. Someone with a knife will still kill people. Probably more

[DrPepper12]

So murder for attention stimulated by media? Great theory!!

@DrPepper12
Nope it's fact! Look at some of the first school murders. They brag how they will be famous. Also serial killers do this

[DrPepper12]

The overwhelming majority of murders are personal and the victims know their attackers. Gang shit is meant to terrify you and apparently it's working.

[Opinion Owner]

@DrPepper12 school murders and serial killers not all murders

[Agape93]

Put a open bounty on them. $1,000 per member, $50,000 per high ranked member.

[lightbulb27]

been a long time since I heard that. have them turn each other in. interesting...

[Agape93]

Shit that money would get me involved.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Deport them out and into the ocean to feed 'em to the sharks.

[DrPepper12]

That would be the Christian thing to do...

Realistically the best solution is to execute foreigners who are caught committing certain crimes.

[lightbulb27]

firing squads are a deterrent.
Combine that with rehab programs (... kinda like taking prisoners vs having to kill every enemy) might be lowest casualty rate approach.

[Juxtapose]

If you can rehabilitate those guys then have at it but I don't think it's going to work.

[lightbulb27]

I know a guy that worked in prison ministry... he was a former killer. He was traumatized by his father, made his way into bullying and then murdering people for hire. Cool guy! Saved by Jesus. Jesus saves again... he was going into prisons and talking to young guys. The only way to save these kids is give them emotional healing and hope. Otherwise, yes, gonna have to kill them off.
Not an easy job, that's why I say... suffering is in order.
thanks for your opinion!

It's still amazes me how people completely change themselves because of unsubstantiated superstition. There's something in their brains that is not in mind or just does not click..

Either way, getting people to turn a new leaf is a good idea.

Enforce EVerify - no jobs, no migration

Enforce visa overstays (70% of illegal immigration and they arrive via air) with more personnel

Expanded resources for asylum claims / courts

Ya know, stuff that works... Not a wall

[exitseven]

Round them all up and send rhem all back. Threaten to cut off all foreign aid to Venezuela. They will take them back. Send back a few thousand Guatamalans too. They won't complain

[DrPepper12]

I didn't read past "Tank the economy"

[strateguy632]

Take away guns so only gangs hav guns. Is what i oppose.

Reinstated death penalty for criminals.

[OddBeMe]

Seems exaggerated.

[lightbulb27]

It's "news"... they take the worst fears and put them forth... might be small right now by #'s harmed. Severe though hearing they are getting orders to shoot cops, and other crimes they issues. Probably less than MS13. Everyone should be aware of what cops in these cities are thinking... they will be extra touchy.
