The fact "someone" actually thinks gang members, manufactured ones or otherwise, actually take time out of any busy "gang activities" to vote, shows the person is obviously clueless.
On the other hand, candidate for DA John Allen Brooks might be on to something when he suggests alleged gangs in Chattanooga began to show up en masse about 20 years ago. Around about the same time the plot, some might say plans, came out to gentrify certain targeted areas in Chattanooga.
Makes you wonder if there's a correlation between the two and what local cold hands were behind it all? Who was giving and who was following orders?

Bob Schneider's comment "No doubt gang members will vote for him" is a bit of sarcasm against candidate DA John Allen Brooks for his acquiescing comment on gang activities.
Your allegiance to this ideology of "there's no gangs in Chattanooga" has made you clueless to Bob's salient and sarcastic point.
The bigger question here is....why does Brenda Washington gaslight us readers anytime someone mentions "gangs" in this forum?? The gang issue is real, no matter whether candidate DA John Allen Brooks down plays it or whether Brenda Washington says it's manufactured, alleged, or correlated to some made up conspiracy theory.

Anybody who doesn’t think there are gangs in Chattanooga is not listening to the gang members brag about their exploits against our society. While Brenda Washington would have you believe “boys will be boys” so it’s all okay, most of us don’t believe that.
Most of us know that John Brooks is not a serious candidate for District Attorney General of Hamilton County. Bless his heart, I don’t think he knows the difference between a .22 caliber rifle cartridge and a 5.56 cartridge, also the former NATO cartridge (5.56X45) that operates at a chamber pressure of approximately 60,000 p.s.i. However, he does know that locking people up, regardless of how bad they are, is more difficult than turning them loose to commit more crimes.
Brenda Washington has every right to believe that it is okay to foist genocide on the weakest of our society. Granted, she is wise enough to call it “women’s reproductive health” rights, but we know it’s really killing our unborn children. The same people who would tell you that it’s not a life until it can survive outside the womb are the same people who would never eat an egg if it contained a half-developed chick inside. Why, it’s not a chicken yet, right?
Yes Brenda, there are gangs and gangs are bad dudes, just like Corn Pop. It’s why we have to have Coty Wamp as our next District Attorney General. Austin Garrett promises to be just as good a sheriff as Jim Hammond has been, and with Coty Wamp as DA, we can put these gangs out of business.
We live in strange times, folks. A man was People Magazine's “woman of the year”. A male was the NCAA women’s swim champion. Men can say they don’t know what sex they are, even if they studied biology, and go into a restroom with our wife and daughters. I have gay, lesbian and transgender friends and they are just as upset about this as we are, but it’s the minority who are screaming loud enough to make others act crass.
The way we change this is first with our vote. Show up and vote because it’s a start. Even if you think your vote is not needed, it is. The more votes we have for a person the more it confirms what we want to be.
