Allow me to point out what I view as gang warfare with a twist... Crips adorned in blue, Bloods adorned in red... Democrats wish for blue states, Republicans wish for red states. Politicians and gangs both strive on fear to grow and 'succeed' using propaganda. Gangs tag walls and billboards, politicians put signs on fences and billboards, civilians post political signs on their lawns and stickers on their cars - propoganda abounds! It all equals territorial pissings. "Join the dark side..." How can we fight against detrimental gang warfare when even our government and 'decent' society operates on it's own form of detrimental gang warfare? All I know is we are all stuck in this life together, enjoy it and try to be a positive influence in it. ...or be angry and survive it like me.
Just because the media labeled the states red and blue does not give any comparison to gangs. Hey I own a pair of broen shoes does that make me a member of Hitlers brown shoes? Govts whether the DEm or Republican agree that society needs system of rules and punishment that everyone should follow they disagree on what the rules should be. Gangs are made up of idiots who are not smart enough to get ahead when they are made to follow the same rules everyone else is and they ignore those rules. Having rules but no enforcement or punishment or not having the punishment meted out equally makes the rules ineffectual. No punishment much like gun laws ensures only those who are civilized will follow the rules. Afterall do you really think the Virginia sniper who shot something like 13 people would never have done it if owning the gun was against the law? I can see him now "Geez I would love to murder people (which is against the law) but I can not buy a gun legally so I guess I will not be able to do it.
