Seattle should charge $15 for every gang membership and $0.05 for every gang related argument. That should take care of it.

Gang "tiffs", really? When they whip out automatic weapons in a mall or park will this reporter describe it as a "kerfuffle", a "donnybrook", or a "fracas"? "Rumpus", perhaps? :facepalm:
