It is hard for me to have sympathy for gangs either.
My heart does end up bleeding, but not much.
Even if one is living in desperation, somewhere along the way, someone has to learn that there is no 'easy way' out.
Gangsters are a fearful lot. The guns might give them some short-bought confidence. But there is always the fear that there may be many more pointed right back at them.
It's an endless cycle. The easy way out has appeared more lucrative than doing it the hard way. These are not spoiled kids who had things provided for them, sometimes the gang has been a surrogate father to some of these kids, who might have gotten the shot of life from other gangsters who have long since abandoned them.
Still..nothing is stopping them. Not prison time, not the death penalty..nothing is stopping the gang banging.
I rue the day when real gangsters take a hold on Granite City. When I was a kid, there were mostly wanna be gangsters who would get into mischief and run like hell. Usually the parents would reign them in and somehow their harm done was not that great.
However, the real gangsters have not one ounce of respect for life. They can shoot without flinching.
These gangs do not mess with spraypainting 'Faget' mispelled on someone's garage. These are not the little hoosier that bust glass, or jump someone and start punching.
These people seriously don't give a fcuk and really don't care if they mow over someone that gets in their way.
It's a vicious cycle.
Your idea on how to end it would be great, but if it's all someone ever knew, then obviously a conscience has never been formed and there really hasn't been that same knowledge of right and wrong.
When 'Do whatchya gotta do' replaces 'Do the right thing.' Look out.
