While you are helping organize the removal of the alcohol, drugs, the videos and the anti-social music and you speak to the organizations and parents who will reengage these young men in positive avenues, here is what I think you should do. Go out on the streets late at night and disarm them; talk nice to them and ask them to give you their guns and offer them a ride home after they give you the keys to the vehicle they just stole. When you wake up dead in the morgue and wonder what actually happened, write us another missive. In the meantime, the Police will hopefully keep taking these guys out as fast as they legally can eradicate them, rather than waste my money on paying for prison lodgings for them. I would much prefer to pay for well armed Police Force to deal with this situation which is out of control and needs to be stopped whatever it takes.
