GANG VIOLENCE ON THE "L" TRAIN

LAST WEEK, A 16 YR OLD WAS BEATEN UNCONSCIOUS AND ROBBED
BY TEENAGE GANG MEMBERS.....THEY CONFRONTED THE BOY (VICTIM)
AND DEMANDED HIS GANG AFFILIATION. WHEN HE ANSWERED, NONE,
THEY KICKED AND PUNCHED HIM, TOOK HIS CELL PHONE, SNEAKERS
AND LEFT HIM LYING UNCONSCIOUS IN HIS UNDERWEAR ON THE
PLATFORM OF THE ATLANTIC AVENUE STATION. (BKLYN)

QUESTION # 1, ARE THE PARENTS OF THOSE BOYS AWARE THAT THEIR
SONS ARE IN A GANG?? IF NOT, THEN WHY NOT??
ANSWER: MOST WORKING SINGLE MOMS AND DADS JUST DON'T HAVE
THE TIME OR ENERGY TO KNOW HALF THE THINGS THAT THEIR TEENAGE
KIDS ARE DOING....AND THAT IS EVEN IF THEY CARE......

QUESTION # 2, WHAT ARE THE POLITICIANS DOING ABOUT IT?? NOTHING.
THEY ARE MAKING SPEECHES AND BASHING COPS.....

QUESTION # 3, THE MAYOR? WELL, HE WON'T HIRE MORE COPS. SEE,
HIS SON IS UNDER 24 HR PROTECTION..........

QUESTION # 4, THE GOVERNOR?? HUH!! HE'S ABOUT TO BE INDICTED FOR
INTERFERING IN HIS OWN CORRUPTION INVESTIGATION....

QUESTION # 5, THE CITY COUNCIL?? WELL, THEY DID CALL FOR A THOUSAND
MORE COPS BUT THE MAYOR IGNORED THEM...SO WHAT GOOD ARE THEY???

OH BY THE WAY, THIS CRIME IS THE 3rd IN A MONTH INVOLVING THE
BRUTAL BEATING OF A SCHOOL KID BY A GANG OF KIDS.....

DO WE STILL HAVE TIME TO DEFEND CAREER CRIMINALS????????????
