Gangs
Gang activity is at an all time high in Winnipeg and gangs are becoming more troublesome as the years go by. Fifteen years ago, when I read the newspaper, every couple of weeks I would read about gang activity. Today I read about gang activity just about every day. Gangs today are violent and organized. Crimes with fire arms are more frequent today. Every day we hear about someone getting shot or being shot at. Street drugs are how the gangs survive. They use children to deal their drugs for them because when they get caught, they get a slap on the wrist or nothing will happen to them because of the Young Offenders Act. Gang activity in Winnipeg is at its all-time worst. Something has to be done about it.

Hi Ian,
I too hope youth gang activity gets better before it gets worse. Do you think changes to the Young Offenders Act will help stop older gang members from taking advantage of children to deal drugs? If so, what changes?

Yesterday afternoon at about four o’clock my friend and I were just sitting outside with my brother enjoying the fresh air, and then there were these guys walking by. They started saying things to my brother about colors,but he wasn’t even wearing gang colors to begin with. The point I’m trying to make is these youth/adults need help, they’re getting out of control.
With the other comment above I think that is a good idea and it might work.
