Whynot, this is the part of that article that really caught my eye: "Since the takedown, burglary in the 77th Precinct has gone down nearly 60 percent."

Good job, officers!

I can't say I miss them either.

Patch wrote: In one incident, four members of the gang committed a violent home invasion. They entered the home with their faces covered with ski masks or bandanas, and tied up a male and female resident. Then they each sexually assaulted the female resident while she was blindfolded, with her arms and hands bound.

I tend to assume people are rational and that they (sadly) actually perceive their choices to be in their long and short term interests.

To be fair, they talk about their decisions made as teens... not sure, @whynot_31 , if you'd apply your assumption equally to adults and teens?

In general, teens have less of an ability to pursue their long term interests.
