I've been talking about this for a long time. It seems that many, otherwise decent, people are either unaware or afraid to take a stand. As long as we allow these criminals to intimidate us, they will continue to be belligerent. The only answer is to meet force with force. To organize our neighborhoods and form alliances with like minded individuals. I would also recommend home schooling to prevent your children from being indoctrinated with the socialist propaganda that seems to be the only thing that, so called, "schools" are capable of teaching these days.
A great deal of the responsibility for the delinquent behavior of minorities, juveniles and adults, is the misguided sense of mistreatment and entitlement that they harbor. Poverty is not the reason for it. West Texas is among the poorest regions in the State, yet, it has the lowest crime rates. That is because hard working, Christian, White people inhabit that area. I don't know how many times I've seen some Black person talking on their cell phone at the grocery store, paying with a Lone Star Card and then putting their groceries into a Cadillac S.U.V.
Yes, the White race certainly has its share of ne'er do wells, dope addicts, punk rockers, people that look like they fell face first into a tackle box, etc.....but, by way of comparison, the number of crimes committed by minorities is far greater.
Additionally, there is a segment of the African - American population that rallies to the defense of every violent Negro that murders a Police Officer or group of Negroes that viciously assault a White person six against one. I recommend the approach that Pasadena took when Quanell X brought his odious horde there and tried to cause trouble.

I just didn't see everyone blaming Sam Houston....where did that come from? I do believe we were discussing gangs in Arlington. Where you on this site reading "everyone blames Sam". Hello, did they teach you to read or use crital thinking at Sam Houston? Can you please add to the site by voicing an opinion on gangs in Arlington in general and the topic at hand rather than taking items out of context? There are around 260 posts on this site on "gangs in Arlington" and "tons" about Sam houston is just, silly. Tons huh?

Not trying to be a smartass but you can see on the first two pages of this topic that Sam Houston did get stereotyped. Also, you shouldn't make fun of someone's education when you, yourself, don't even use correct grammar or spelling. It's "critical", not "crital". He has that right to put his opinion in and his was that the attention should be focused on more than just one area. Arlington, as a whole has problems. Not just Sam, not just east Arlington but EVERYWHERE there are problems.

As far as your previous post, ever heard of reverse discrimination? They have been afforded the same education and the same jobs, look at the most recent Supreme Court Ruling! If Obama can make it, that shows that it can be accomplished. Can't play that card any longer. Members of my family can't get a job because the other races come before them even though they have beeter qualifactions. Everyone has choices, you can be poor and not be a gang banger or a thug no matter the race. The race card is so old.....

Maybe you have horse blinders on, or jogging with a black woman you were left alone??? Have you not kept up with the Arlington Gang force? Tell them there is not a problem. why was more added and they upped their tactical weapons to deal with the problem? Maybe you should tell them their stats are waaaaaay off. By the way, I am not a moron. I am just informed and can see open recordes.

So whats the scoop? I see everyone has their own opinion on the Gang related subject line. If it never gets as bad as LA-Cali, then it is not bad. I have family in Dallas AO, but have not visited them since moving back here a yr ago, because of my job abroad. So someone tell me, because Live in the Sublett and Matlock area and I dont see any sprayed fences, and constant drive-bys, or even helicopter lights shining on the homes in my neighborhoods. So how bad is it, really???

You couldn't be more wrong. I'm not sure what "open records" you are referencing, but juvenile records are sealed. I do research for a living and this area is one I am not only acquainted with, but I work in it.
Procurement patterns do not correlate with frequency of the problem. You need empirical data. Expenditures often result from federal grants, and LE departments access funds whether they need to or not like all public agencies. Federal drug seizure and forfeiture laws allow police to confiscate property and profit from the proceeds on its resale.
I included information about jogging with a black woman for the same reason I told you I was married to one; because being white and mixing in public with a black female makes you MORE not less of a target in a racially charged environment. My wife also had three teenagers from a previous marriage, so I've benefitted from a first hand view of black youth social circles most whites are not privy to.
The majority of what appears to be gang activity is merely kids trying to act cool by copying what they see in music videos. In my generation it was pot, beer bashes and hanging out at the game room playing foosball, now it's throwing symbols and talking ghetto, which many white kids also do. But most of these kids are not gangsters, they're just kids. It's the media driven hysteria surrounding teenage behavior that's the genesis for internet discussions like this one.
If you want some true facts, Google "mike males" AND guns AND youth...and read what a premier expert has found based on years of empirical research instead of supposition.
I speak as I do from knowledge on this issue. I've spent 20 years in both the mental health and the juvenile justice system in Texas and Tennessee. I've designed youth intervention programs and consulted with gang intervention specialists, including the Fort Worth Gang Intervention Task Force. At this moment I'm consulting with people starting a new gang intervention program here in Arlington, which is why I bumped into this thread to begin with. Locally, I've been intimately involved in the AISD's disciplinary discussions since 1997 when I was part of the court ordered task force designed to study so called zero tolerance policies. I've been a mediation & consulting specialist in Dallas and Tarrant County public schools in dozens of cases involving gang activity and other discipline issues.
I'm not saying no problem exists, but that it's significantly less than you imagine based on media reports. The Internet age has created a great deal of sensationalism out of wack with truth. Statistically, you are highly unlikely to EVER be victimized by a gang. You are FAR more likely to be the victim of violence in your own home. As I stated, 22 years living throughout this city, freely mixing with people of all races, even walking or running at night, plus I've traveled into places like Oak Cliff and South Dallas for work related reasons on a regular basis...and I've never received so much as a cross look, let alone an attack.
Obviously it could happen, especially if I were foolish enough to deliberately hang out in the Washington Street or East Park Row neighborhoods or frequent drug houses, but for the most part real gang activity is more limited in scope than you would guess from reading this discussion. I'm not saying it's not a problem...only that it's less than it's being made out to be in here.

<quoted text>as far as the whilte man married to a black woman, if you do research, such as I do you a living. Why in the hell don't you know what open records are. The Freedom of Information Act, otherwise knoown as the Open Records Act.
You also don't live in a gang infested area. IF they are minors, personal info will be marked out.
Not all of these ganger are under age.

I didn't say I didn't know what the Open Records Act/FOIA was. I asked you what records you are talking about. Court records for minors are sealed, so I was asking what you were referring to since those records are not subject to the FOIA. If you're going to reference statistics you need something tangible to point to instead of a vague reference to "open records".

<quoted text> Then you know that minor info is "blackened out" Mr. know it all! You can still see the crimes and incident reports.
