We heard from detective B.A. Dirks of the Dallas PD gang unit tonight at our North Dallas Republican Club meeting. He specializes on dealing with graffiti. And it's a big problem in all quarters of the city. The most prominent and recent incident being the tagging on the highway signs at the split between I-35 N and I-30 W on the west side coming out of downtown. I learned that kids can be part of a gang as early as in second grade, imagine that, a 7 year-old kid. I know what MS-13, Blood, and Crip are, having gone through the Carrollton Citizen Police Academy. But hearing of gang members getting elected to office in the Chicago area is a totally different ball game. This is when it's good to know that God is sovereign!
