“It is another tool,” said Kevin Rousseau, a Tarrant County assistant prosecutor in Fort Worth

Does anyone else cringe when they hear this tripe? A hammer is a tool. This crap is increased government power of questionable constitutionality.

Though now that I think about it, I guess they do wield their power like a hammer. Sigh…

this clearly unconstitutional, violating the 1st and 14th amendments. Local governments can’t use court injunctions to violate 1st amendment rights of free association. A clear violation of the 14th amendment. If they are breaking the law, by dealing drugs or carrying firearms, arrest them for that.

if the prevalence of drug gangs makes standard law enforcement techniques impractical, then that speaks loudly on the efficacy of drug prohibition to begin with. For the life of me I can’t see why people can’t have the common sense to attack problems at the root.

Doesn’t anyone wonder that we’re treating the symptom, not the disease? What gives gangs their power?

If you consider that the government is just one big gang that we’ve been coerced to be a member of, then you can easily ask the same question about government: What gives government their power? Seems like the government crime family in essence creates these small fry rival gangs to distract us from the real racket. That is, these small time gangs are just the wake of a much larger disturbance. To quote Major Gen. Smedley Butler:

During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a swell racket. Looking back on it, I feel that I could have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.
