Social Networking Sites Used by Gangs to Recruit
MySpace has gotten quite a bad reputation. It was put off as a "dates-r-us" for pedophiles at one point, at another it was seen as a distraction to minors, but now it seems like MySpace got a crown for the pile of dirt on their doorstep. Police departments all around America are confirming that criminal gangs (mostly local) are recruiting on social networking sites, especially MySpace. What's worse still is that gang fights will start on the internet, and then people will take them to the street. Some gangs will even post a form of propaganda, just for the purpose of getting children to join their gangs. In response to this story, some social networking sites have already declared that anything illegal or gang-related is immediately deleted and cause for an on-the-spot ban.

I hate it when people say "Oh the US is the dumbest" and all that crap. Cause we're really not.
My 0.02
Some losers did get a little swayed, including my buddy, I just took him to a club that night and introduced him to Hangar One. Since then he's beginning to like baseball.:)
So if I'm a cop and I see you loitering on street corner with your buddies I should pull out my sub machine gun and mow you down. I should then proceed to ascertain if you were up to no good? If you weren't oh well, the population is large enough it shouldn't matter. You got what you deserved for loitering.
If you're drunk and get in a bar fight the police should come shoot everyone involved and send you off to the morgue. You were obviously guilty of being drunk and accidentally/intentionally getting in fight. The gene pool is now better off.
If someone is robbing you and you fight back a cop should shoot both of you and then decided who was being robbed and send a nice halmark card.
Armed robbers are robbing a bank everyone in the bank should be killed because it's impossible to tell who the actual robbers are. Then we can figure out who is guilty. That's what you get for associating with robbers.
A car makes a wrong turn and ends up at a vital government facility. Everyone inside should be shot just in case who knows if they're a terrorist. They should have had GPS, there is no excuse to make a wrong turn in this day and age.
That's the America I want screw the Constitution and the Bill of Rights it's from an old outdated time. We could finally be safe from criminals.
A form of irony in which apparent praise conceals another, scornful meaning. For example, a sarcastic remark directed at a person who consistently arrives fifteen minutes late for appointments might be, “Oh, you've arrived exactly on time!”
