This is good news regarding the bad guys.
From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
The Milwaukee district attorney's office today charged 16 people who investigators say are members or associates of the Simon City Royals, a largely white street gang that, according to a 44-page racketeering complaint, sold drugs, built up an arsenal, robbed, stole, loan-sharked and enforced the organization's bizarre code with violence and intimidation.
The arrested people include those who police say are top members of the Wisconsin branch of the gang, various senior members (which include a man recruited into the gang while he was a guard at the Racine Correctional Institute) and top "soldiers."
The indicted - 14 men and two women - range in age from 19 to 43. Some are inmates at various prisons around the country, and others live in Milwaukee, Oak Creek, West Allis, Menasha and Oneida.
"[A] largely white street gang"?
I don't have a problem with that description at all. Most members are white. Whatever color they are, they're thugs. I'm glad the thugs have been indicted.
I found the description interesting because that sort of detail is often missing from the Journal Sentinel's reporting.
When the Journal Sentinel reported on the Murda Mobb, readers weren't told about the racial makeup of that gang. The same goes for its reporting on the Nash Street Boys. When talking about the Latin Kings, there's no mention of the gang members' specific racial or ethnic identity.
Even in a report on a sweep of violent ILLEGAL immigrants, Latin Kings and Sureños street gang members, in Sheboygan, there's no mention of skin color.
Again, I have no problem with the Simon City Royals being identified as a "largely white street gang."
Always describe the bad guys. Warn people about what the thugs look like. Tell them about the criminals.
