No, we definitely need to take action. Most of these gangbangers are young, dumb kids who were vulnerable, scared, or trying to fit in. They didn't exactly just say "Yeah, I want to join a gang." Odds are, one of the set leaders approached them one day and said "Hey, I've got a group of people here. We can help you feel safe, you'll be accepted, and you'll even make some money out of it." What kind of vulnerable kid in a poor neighborhood is gonna say no to that? Then they start manipulating them into acting violent. People need to show them that there's another way out.
