Being a gangmember is such a broad term, what happen to beating a person to a bloody pulp... but letting him live. Especially when a man is home with potential children and family, that's a monster who did this.

I walk through this area on a weekly basis to get to LATTC and it's gang infested
Street Saints right by the Community College. Primera Flats around 23rd and Trinity Park. Ghetto BoyZ around 28th and Maple to San Pedro.
Locos Park 13 by Central Park with
Eastside 13 a few streets down the block.
Then there's the notorious and old varrio 38th Street gang with Barrio Evil 13 by Vernon.
It's active around here ...

It's clear: Los Angeles is one gorgeous cess pool full of monsters and angels. It's about time the angels overtook the monsters.

Who's at fault here? Certainly not the Americans or the Hispanic forefathers that started these clubs as a "friendly" way to have a good time.
Quit your damn crying and blame yourselves. Stop expecting the people of the USA to have sympathy and pay for everything.
