The McCarthyan black list is bad enough. I personally know some gang members that just stopped banging. This notion that once someone is a gang member, they're in it for life, is just b.s. Most of them just get old. They just become parents and grandparents. Many of them start to rely on their kids and their employment because they're unemployable. The concept of the CalGang file was shady as hell to begin with, it was a tool to brand people for life and punish them in case the courts didn't. Then to think they're putting infants on this file? They're taking infant children of gang members and getting them on the file as soon as possible? Deja Vu all over again for law enforcement in California. Indictments on the way. I hope the LA Sheriffs weren't involved in this. Another scandal would just about bury them.

"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
