Hey! Leave them alone they're just kids

This piece which lays out details of the huge gang busts in Florida is interesting because only one gang member is a teenager. The rest are thirty something to fifty years old, and as any cop will tell you, the old guys are more than just dangerous. They are a menace. Almost all are usually facing a life sentence for something else when caught. This is classic "revolutionary" behavior. They financed themselves through the theft of smaller items on a massive scale, then used the money to buy big weapons like grenade launchers, anti-tank weapons, and full scale machine guns. The police in Florida have uncovered something that looks to be nation wide.
