    So, what you are implying is that anyone who was ever affiliated with gang activity is a lost cause. And, who could never provide invaluable moral guidance to help improve a city in a much less aggressive, mentor-like capacity.

    Do you also think that the idea of reform while under lock up (where the majority of tattooing comes from) isn’t possible? Maybe we should execute all criminals, right?

    Sounds like you’ve lived a very sheltered life and have no idea what really goes on, aside from what is on the news. Sometimes people get involved with gangs (incl. in incarceration) as it may be one of the only methods of survival available to them. You just can’t judge by appearance alone.

    Oh, and heads up. The comment about tattoos was indeed what Maggoty mentioned, and about the generality of them, and not specifically about the guy from the OP.

      No, I’m saying the police are no better, arguably worse, than a gang. They’re pretty much a state run gang. They left a life of being a gangster, to be a state run gangster.
