All you have to do is walk into a middle school or high school in Charlotte to see the influence of gangs. As a substitute teacher moving here from L.A. 7 years ago, I was shocked to see how little teachers and administrators knew about gang habits. I guess they've now had a crash course but I think denial is still the norm.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819850637666173640.post-10289973649479871602010-03-27T03:24:08.039-04:002010-03-27T03:24:08.039-04:00I'm not surprised.

Every time I drive into Charlotte, I see people driving along flashing gang signs with their hands while driving. I just let them have the road as I don't want to get shot. I dread having my sister along as she will flip off anyone who cuts us off on the road.

GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS!!!! THey don't protect the neighborhoods where they're at, they cause more trouble! Kids can't even go outside for fear of being shot by accident by gang members!

So, if they have a count, then wouldn't that mean they at least have some idea of who these idiots are? I'm still trying to figure out why they are more concerned about the number of gang members instead of arresting them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819850637666173640.post-24257662390287883272010-03-26T21:08:30.592-04:002010-03-26T21:08:30.592-04:00Being in a gang is not illegal.

Yes they do spend a lot of time counting gang members, in order to keep track of them. This allows the Police department to solve crimes based on affiliations rather than blindly guessing who could have done something. The graffiti that people use, is understood by other gang members to how territory. It was not meant for everyone to understand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819850637666173640.post-56134494899428051672010-03-26T20:43:09.409-04:002010-03-26T20:43:09.409-04:00WOW...Wake used to be the highest...I guess CLT is...WOW...Wake used to be the highest...I guess CLT is now number 1?
