Ha! That's Foster City for you. I once lived in that stuck up uptight prissy town where police were called because someone just sitting on a bench looked angry.

Gang Leaders to Jail said:
That is right. Turn those gang leaders in. They force people to be in their gang and they tell them to go do various crimes. Make them scared of you - not you of them. Turn them in to your local police stations. Sick of those old guys going into the neighborhood and getting those young guys to do their crimes. Report the gang leaders. Get a clue.

Turn In Gang Leaders said:
Turn in your gang leaders. They are sending you out to commit crimes and you are the ones going to jail while they stay in their nice cozy house. Turn those cowards in.

Go Hillary said:
Hillary Clinton would make a great president. Hillary is a straight forward individual who speaks for all and not just the well connected. People are being threatened and forced to vote for her opponent. If he is the candidate - democrats for McCain.
