And I never isolated poverty as a stand a lone reason, so I don't know why your turning what i said into something i you claim that "gangsters are aggressive parasites who contribute NOTHING to society, and should be dealt with accordingly" but what experience do you have with gang members or even any gangs themselves? Probably none.

But don't put words in my mouth or in the mouth of someone who doesn't know what their talking about just to justify your opinion.I am not talking about poverty alone. I'll respond too each comment separately. Originally I was responding too a few certain comments made here, and if you would like to talk about all the other aspects surrounding the issue let's do it. I'm generalizing criminal activities, and not discussing MS-13 so get it straight. I think it's pretty easy for many others too judge and assume things based on stereotypes. I'm saying that in a lot of cases these people grow up under circumstances which force them to make wrong decisions to keep living, or too keep living normal lives. There have been, and will be people all over the world who commit terrible crimes against humanity. I'm gonna say this once because I'm getting really tired of people picking at fragments of what I write and assuming they made a valid point, when they missed the "MSG" altogether. OK let me clear this up for you, and hopefully you read every word and understand its context. Either way I like his shows and the man is either crazy or pretty damned brave. I know the situations he puts himself in (especially when he goes to a war) are real and have real danger but when he visits gangs I often wonder if he has some sort of body guards with him.

A while ago I watched some of the one's done by Ross Kemp and really enjoyed those (as much as one can enjoy watching a doc on this topic and these people) but I doubt it is easy to get people to do what Ross does, even if they make it look like he is in more danger than he really is. But I just find that far to often I start watching one of these docs and it feels like I have seen it before and having seen so many of them the violence and total lack of humanity in these people is no longer shocking to me (could be my own fault for watching so many of them) but I do think part of the problem is as I already said that they are all made using the same format. Not saying the problems and issues are not important because they obviously are as to many of these kids start life and grow up under horrible conditions where their role models are drug dealers and murders. Maybe I am getting old and cynical or I have just seen to many of these types of documentaries because they all seem the same to me, just change the name of the gang and or leader and follow the usual script.
