"I am tired of hearing about the on going violence that has destroyed the city of Oakland. People need to grow up and learn how to deal with their problems in a peaceful and formal way. Violence can not be the response to everything because that will only make the cycle of violence continue."Violence in Oakland is currently a huge problem in Oakland. Much of it is a result from unneeded gang violence. Personally, I feel this violence is petty and impractical. It is all based on small disputes and tension between different gangs. The only results of this are unneeded deaths; many innocent people are killed in cold blood, including innocent people our age. Many people are sucked into gangs; they feel the need to be popular or are faced with peer pressure, ect. . In these circumstances, many people are brainwashed into believing gangs are the right choice.
Obviously, gangs are not a good choice to commit to in life. They do not help your life; they destroy it. Gangs are based on nothing but violence. They are not practical. There is no point to them. I feel that the only reason people, usually young adults, is for the reputation. Gangs are meant to be seen as threatening and a power in cities or regions; when a person is associated with this gang, they are also seen as being threatening and powerful. A gang gives thee appearance of power.
In one word, gangs can simply be described as stupid. They only result in the deaths of innocent people. Gangs need to solve violence and problems in a peaceful manner. For many, violence many seem like the answer to solving a problem, but it is not. It only promotes more violence throughout cities. A gang is irrelevant without violence; they are based on it. So simply speaking, without violence, gangs are pointless.
With gangs gone, a large portion of violence in the United States would be gone. They are unneeded. Anyone in a gang should be ashamed of themselves because they are promotes of unneeded violence and have no excuse for this.
