The last paragraph in the article:
The Utah Statewide Information and Analysis Center Organized Crime Threat Assessment (2024) assessed with ‘high confidence’ that the gang threat will remain substantial due to the glamorization of gang culture, recruitment efforts, the young age of gang members, attempts to gain street credibility, and the continued demand for illicit drugs and firearms," prosecutors warned in their charging documents.
Don’t miss a chance to take a swipe at firearms…
Gangs, drugs and firearms go hand in hand. This was just last week and I wasn’t surprised at all.

Meanwhile, in Almost Heaven…lots of guns and low crime. Probably won’t see this on msm. There are a lot of drugs though I believe, reminds me of a Primus song.
Illicit firearms
I checked my firearms. They are all licit.
What about your drugs? 
Every one but but those damn Vid Vaccinations.
My drugs are boring.
My drugs make me go pee…ALOT.
‘My drugs make me go…Oh look a Squirrel!’ Tee Hee Hee! 
A lot of kids are lured into gangs because their home life stinks and they are looking for a family.
If SHTF ever does hit, the gangs are armed and organized. They will be the law and there will be turf wars until a strong leader emerges that can unite them. It will be Medieval times again.
“WARRIORS, COME OUT TO PLAY-YAA!!!”
More so than I think most people think. We train in a gang controlled part of Magna, most people would be surprised about how methodical the gang culture really is.
:edit: added ‘in’ a gang controlled.
