Gangs in Chicago

The gang issue in Chicago is worse than everywhere else in the world.

U.S. Marshall Ed Farrel says:

"There are more gang members per citizen in Chicago than anywhere else in the country"
In Chicago, 5 people in just one day get arrest for drug-dealing, and they were all gang members. Being in a gang doesn't make a person seem more "cool" or "strong" it just makes them seem like an individual with a lost cause. Like a chicken with no head. They don't know what their purpose in life is, and they never really know that. In some cases, people who fall into being in a gang didn't have a stable family life. They act through violence and fear. Parents need to show love for their children more often. If home isn't stable, tell them you love them. We don't need more people steering themselves in the wrong direction when deep down they all have potential; they have the potential to be something great, but just aren't reaching for it.
