Concrete jungles all across the United States are now ruled by roving bands of volunteer urban guerrilla fighters.
They can be seen everywhere armed with lethal weapons: Rakes, hoes and shovels for killing weeds; buckets of soapy water and scouring pads to slay graffiti; and pallets of quick setting concrete to attack and destroy potholes.
"One of our best units is GAG, Guerrillas Against Gangs," said Gen. Vol Untiere, who heads up Los Angeles’ guerrilla warriors.
GAG is comprised of contingents of angry guerrilla mothers, which are broken up into units that patrol different neighborhoods. Armed with brooms, books, pens and paper, their goal is to sweep the streets clean of young gangsters, and kill off the gangs and illiteracy at the same time.
“Our aim,” said one angry mother who‘s vowed to not lose one more child to senseless gang warfare, Ma Gilla, “is to put the youngsters in protective custody until they can read and write to become educated, productive citizens.
“Once they’ve accomplished that, they can take their place in our army of guerrilla warriors to make this city a safe, clean place for us, them and their children.
“Lord knows,” she added with a deep sigh, “our AWOL mayor and council members won’t do it, so we’ll have to do it ourselves. It won’t be easy, but yes, we can do it!”
