Today brought shocking news about alleged gang violence in Plainfield. If you want to see the official document on the indictments, click here. Look at the chart with victims' names and click at the bottom to see the entire indictment.
I wondered where in Plainfield these gangs met, but the indictment did not say specifically. One can see the graffiti all over. The most chilling aspect is the randomness of a couple of the incidents, though much of the alleged violence was directed at rival gang members.
If you want to learn more about gangs, read this New Jersey State Police report for 2010. Here is the Star-Ledger news story on the indictments.
