  1. So why do you keep bringing up gangs if there's been zero evidence that it's at all gang-related? Isn't that just blatantly racist of you?

  2. What percent of crime in the area is gang related? .01%? Of course it might be gang related, but to just assume it is based on the victim having a hispanic name is both stupid and racist.

  3. There's not much except gangs these days in Aspen Hill. White ones, black ones, hispanic ones, but honestly most of the gangs are location based, like whoever lives on this block or that block or in this or that apartment complex.

  4. You're describing crews, not gangs. Or possible just people who are, you know, friends.
