You know, there is legislation that will deal with gang warefare. I think there was an e-mail I got from my local senator, or maybe it was from the state senator. I'll look it up.

[Athos]

I found it. http://feinstein.senate.gov/public/inde ... 50207c8c38

In my state, the Penal Code Section 11460 makes it a crime to participate in a "paramilitary organization."
According to P.C. 11460 subdivision (a), a paramilitary orginization is: ""paramilitary organization" means an
organization which is not an agency of the United States government
or of the State of California, or which is not a private school
meeting the requirements set forth in Section 48222 of the Education
Code, but which engages in instruction or training in guerrilla
warfare or sabotage, or which, as an organization, engages in rioting
or the violent disruption of, or the violent interference with,
school activities." (Wouldn't gangs fit in this category?)

the beurocratics of that takes to long though :/ and government can't just call marshall law to eradicate all gang violence

[Athos]

Yeah. I hope my Senator will ask her colleagues to take swift action. Here at the County level, I don't think we can do much.

[Pink Supervisor|EL]

gang's do fit that category actually... but i wouldn't say a gang is as disiplined/support as guirilla's out in the middle east or africa...

if gang's started to get that amount of dicipline/weapon support, mostlikely it would be considered a state of crises... as for now it's a municiple thing, as gang violence usualy is between gangs and wouldn't that fit under municipal jurisdiction since it's not technically a prominent national problem (still a problem but not such a strong one like terrorism etc.)plus mostlikely the gang's won't escalate anytime soon due to the fact any public recognition act like a murder important beurocrat or military officer would be considered un patriotic imo

It's times like this that I love being out in a little itty bitty suburb of Chicago...Nothing ever happens out here.

[Cloud Leonhart]
