the dirty dozen

According to the QC Times article in today's paper there are 12 known gangs in Davenport. These gangs have a people or folk affiliation. Neither plays well with the other. Add to that a couple of local gangs, and it makes a person wonder. According to police quoted in the article, "the gangs are not as violent as they were 20 years ago". These people sell drugs and guns, rule by intimidation, and are not considered violent? Gangs aren't wearing colors, or flashing gang signs anymore, so we civilians usually don't have a clue as to who's where. We could have gangs in our neighborhood without even realizing it. I'm glad we got the drugs, money, and gang members off the street but with 11 more gangs out there are the going to keep up the momentum and arrest more? For the QC Times article on this subject go
