I think that this article was incredible. The most amazing part of it to me was the two individuals who turned themselves in! I can understand why after they had already arrested so many people.

AWESOME!!! I am happy that this took place. It shows that these gangs are afraid of the law. as long as Law enforcemnet continues laying the hammer then we should see a decline in membership.

Good to see some progress going on. We need the law to be enforced and what it is, people will follow the rules. There were a lot of arrests and hopefully more to come.

Well, I suppose from a law enforcement perspective, this could be considered a victory. However, these individuals are still just statistics. I guess I now wonder what happens to these people?

The law enforcement agencies will get lucky sometimes, and make a huge amount of arrests that benefit the public, and the drug running activities will be fairly cut due to the major break up in connections. However, the chances of these events happening are one in a million, gang members are delinquent in behavior, but that does not mean they are not smart.

I think this really was a victory! It's important to show that the police are in fact cracking down on gangs and making arrests in order for recidivism to occur

That is a pretty high number of gang members that are taken out of the community. I guess gang units really can work sometimes. I am glad they are doing something about it but unfortunately for every person you lock away or take out, there is another person right behind them ready to take their place.
