Nuestra Familia case: Details of biggest gang prosecution in Santa Clara County history
Source: San Jose Mercury News
Flanked by a multijurisdictional group of law enforcement officials from agencies as big as the FBI and as small as the town of Los Gatos, District Attorney Jeff Rosen on Tuesday released details about the biggest gang case in county history.
Forty-eight alleged members and associates of the Nuestra Familia prison gang's street regiments were indicted last month by a Santa Clara County criminal grand jury on 77 felony charges, ranging from selling methamphetamine to murder.
The interagency investigation spanned a three-year period and is still continuing, Rosen said.

Rosen called the case a "significant blow" to the gang, which runs about 27 street-level gangs engaged in drug trafficking and violent crimes. He also noted that his office has continued the longtime practice of donating $50,000 a year in asset forfeiture funds to San Jose's gang
prevention task force.

Do I need the
icon?
Really, though, can we come to agreement about what the proper role of police is in such instances, where regular citizens cannot stop such groups?
Or must we be content with only name calling and calling for the government, both in its positive and negative aspects to be torn down and replaced by faith-based groups or tribes such as religious cults and libertarian utopian fantasies?
