How local police could help prevent another January 6th-style insurrection

The Proud Boys are more of a loosely affiliated street gang than they are a unified right-wing militia, researchers say. But police ignore the threats from these groups, and their threats grow.

#WestSideStory hits theaters tomorrow You’ve heard about the casting, dancing, music, and cinematography in Spielberg’s remake. Check out this oped for our take on the evolution of the American street gang @theviolencepro @DeckerCrime theconversation.com/west-sid… – at Boulder, CO

‘West Side Story’ may be timeless – but life in gangs today differs drastically from when the Jets...

Gangs have changed in the decades since ‘West Side Story’ first came out – they are deadlier, and their demographics are different – as are the means law enforcement use to control them.

Just more evidence that #proudboys are just an @Alt_RightGangs and not some organized terror network, crime syndicate or cohesive group but instead are loosely affiliated subgroups like street gangs and should be dealt with by law enforcement that way!
