#1 This will only proliferate or take root where the population has been disarmed. Boston: check. The Blue States reap what they sew.

Poor Mr Prince. Victim of a Prosecutor seeking political advantage to match his low IQ and even lower ethical qoutient. And victim of a locale where the citizens can't even protect themselves without breaking the law. I dunno if there is any foreign connection, but it's not necessary, as far as I'm concerned. Situations like this call for preventative measures - and that's not what the Police (or Feds) are trained or equipped to do. The people must have their own personal means of deterrence and protection - or become vigilantes.

#5 The tried and true method of dealing with exactly this situation is the injuction. A single judge can enjoin every member of the gang, and even their families, from doing *anything* gang-related, or even walking down the sidewalk, talking on a phone, associating with anyone else under the injunction, even physically being in a particular neighborhood. The best part is that any violation AT ALL is "contempt of court", which does not require a grand jury indictment OR a jury trial--just standing right back in front of the judge who issued the injunction to determine his guilt or innocence. Usually "guilty", to serve 1 year less 1 day in jail. Such injuctions are such a burden to a gang that it breaks it up. Often gangsters spend one day "out" then go back for another year less a day. Injunctions can run for pages in length, prohibiting just about any mischief they could possibly get into. And it's usually just the cops word against theirs, in front of the pissed-off judge. It is the nuclear weapon of anti-gang control.

#6 Probably a severe shortage of pissed-off judges in Blue America. Maybe even a shortage of judges with the stones to follow such a rational course, in Blue America.

Methinks Blue America will screw itself - this will proliferate via emulation with the publicity it receives (a snowball effect) if not stomped on, hard and early. Successful strategies are always emulated - even among the bad guys.
