Today, CNN.com, had an article on the activities of some reformed Northeast Los Angeles gang members in affiliation with Homeboy Industries, a non-profit located near Chinatown whose motto is “Nothing stops a bullet like a job.”
It’s both very interesting and very inspiring, describing how formally rival gangmembers are now working together on a solar-panel installation [...]
