gangs

I look at my students and have no trouble picturing just how successful they should be, if only we could remove them from the impetuses that brought them to the facility. If we could move them away from gangs. If we could get them into a rehab that stuck. If we could take them from people who abuse their trust, safety, and bodies.

We're this big melting pot, but someone turned up the heat too high, and the stew started to burn. Gangs, crime, fights, and fear are now a regular part of our local stew.

The truth is, it is the younger inexperience gangsters who often cut down the older original gangsters. The best way for this young thug to prove himself to others, is to simply cut down an established gangster. Thus, this cruel cycle of senseless violence repeats itself, with the younger being more vicious and rootless than his predecessor. It__ the dog, who kills the lion, and once he has killed the lion, he__ no longer a dog; he__ now a lion himself.

Cuz even a gangsta rapper can find redemptionFor the sins committed before revelation.

Minding his own business had been his motto living in a strange foreign country with a world-recognized social issue of failing morals.
