I watch this show on Friday's called Gangland,and to me the surprising thing is in every city,state,across the country there is some sort of gang and plenty of violence.It may seem that law enforcement is a step behind but still they somehow dismantle these gangs and put plenty of them away.The problem is somebody just takes their place and its a never ending cycle.You always hear the commentator or a law enforcement guy at the end say these gangs are not wiprd out,their just re-organizing and they come back stronger than ever.So yes I do think the government goes after these violent offenders,but there is always someone to take their place.I also always hear the cost of this investigation over a 10-11 yr. period,but doesn't the government have like a fund from busting major players and they confiscate their houses,vehicles,and all their assets.I always thought they got a lot of their funding that way.
