AP Wire | 10/25/2006 | In Dodge City, Old West gunfights give way to modern gangs Quote:
|
From Aug. 19 to Sept. 22, the city recorded seven drive-by shootings. Ball said he now estimates the town of 25,000 has more than 300 gang members, most of whom are Hispanic. Dodge City is one of the few western Kansas towns that has been growing, largely due to the influx of Latinos drawn to the meatpacking industry in southwest Kansas

Most of whom = about 99% which is in no way proportionate to the hispanic population in Dodge City.
Has anyone been to the courthouse on court day? I thought it was a special hispanic day or something but the clerk said "No it's always like this"
I am not racist but my god, why are these 2nd generation hispanics causing so much more trouble than the other minorities?
I used to live in town, and a rough area of town...There were always gang-bangers on the block at night, tagging houses, fighting, and shooting guns into houses.
All of them were generation hispanic. My bed was near the front of the house so I constructed a bullet shield to put at the head of the bed so I could sleep at night without the fear of not waking up. Finally I got the sense to move out into the country. Two months after I moved into my new house in the country, I was the victim of a home invasion. I was alseep downstairs when I heard someone upstairs, a latino punk rumuging through my things at 1:30 in the morning. Luckily, he wasn't armed and I was able to take him. He got a one way ticket to jail. Now I sleep with a peacemaker within reaching range.
We shouldn't have to live like this!
