Gangs or no gangs, AG Kilgore declares war on them

As reported splendidly in this Roanoke Times article, "Attorney General Jerry Kilgore vowed Wednesday to 'wage war on gang activity' in communities throughout Virginia, including those that refuse to acknowledge they have a problem with gang-related crime." The Attorney General cited Roanoke as one place with gangs, but Roanoke's "police and prosecutors have consistently disputed assertions that gang activity has penetrated the city."
