The city of Fort Worth, Texas is trying a different approach to their gang dilemma. They are bringing lawsuits against gang members to disrupt and prevent gang activity. The AP story on this brings up many issues with this practice because of the profiling involved and the gang member testimony that ultimately the lawsuits won’t change what gangs do.
What do you think? Do you have strong feelings for or against the suits and do you think much will change in Fort Worth as a result of this change in policy?
Whatever it takes to stop gangster thugs from turning our streets into warzones, I’m all for it. Most gangs are up to no good anyway so if you can cut the problem @ the root, do it.
