I actually think that a gang czar could be effective. if the various systems that work in this area - law enforcement (local & national), school districts, dept. of family & children services, etc. etc. - can be coordinated. Then some real change might be able to happen. I agree.

Our gang crime rate here in Denver has gone through the roof over the past few years. We've had two high profile pro athletes (Julius Hodge of the Nuggets and Darrent Williams of the Broncos) gunned down by gangsters in the last 18 months here in town. I've never heard of anything like that. Yet the local pols have had nothing to say. No plans. No response. At least folks in LA are trying to do something.
