You comment on the reading abilities of gang members makes me question 
your sources. Where do you get your evidence from?

Are you assuming that because many gang members have been involved in 
illegal acts that makes them illiterate? Do you assume that since most of 
them attended LAUSD schools, they recieved an inadequate education? Or 
were you just being sarcastic and had little to add to the posters 
question?

My response to that person's post would be:
   1. I don't know any active gang members who use the net.
   2. I was in an East LA gang as a child ("Tercera")
   3. I don't doubt that you will find MANY ex-gang members who have gone 
      on to college and jobs who use the net actively.
