It is the time for 'talking'

because otherwise innocent people who have no connection whatsoever to any 'gang' will be harmed or worse. Secondly, apart from innocent people being harmed, these gang members are only going to continue to harm/kill each other. If adults want to effectively CHOOSE this path then they need to think about their OWN family members grief, pain as well. Grow up, stop the endless, brainless 'fighting'. It's pathetic. No mana in any of it. Stop the violence (of all kinds), stop the drugging. Grow up. Some of you are middle-aged people. It's making you look pathetic.
