As I clarified in my response to EF, I was outside of school, AFTER school
and I saw the people who met the kids who were constant disruptors
in classes, constantly in the discipline office and a large percentage of them had
juvenile parole officers.
The people who would try to pass them things through the fence at lunch
and then appear after school to meet them were OBVIOUS gang members,
wearing the "colors" and attire and yes, covered in ink.
We always had no less three or four police cars outside trying to
chase them away- mostly, to no avail.
It's a huge problem in LA, caused by a few, to the detriment of many.
Just ask the families who are trying to keep these kids from influencing their kids.
They would be happy to see the gangs go back to Mexico.
They give hard working law abiding people a bad name- just ask them if it isn't so.
