Hmmm. And yet it appears there were gang links on both the levels of the guy who was shot having gang contact and the funeral outside which he was shot being a gang one. There's also the general background thought that most of those who carry guns that actually work are probably in gangs, however defined.

And on the other hand 'gang' has become a bogeyman word, a way of talking about the dangerous, the other, the to be excluded.

To put it another way, the right wing will feel that as long as they keep on shooting each, it's fine; the left wing will view it as an avoidable tragedy.
