More stupid turf wars. As if any of these mooks actually own any turf. They only happen to live on that block because where their Mom could get a Housing Voucher and yet they are willing to shoot at one another defending property they will never own.
Poor people are gang prey. Want to end gangs? End poverty. Blaming the parents is too easy and ineffective.
