Two councilmen in Youngstown never heard of this gang.

How long were they in prison?  That's the question that  begs to be asked.

I have not seen more graffiti--Where these 5150 guys part of the drug gang that the feds arrested a few yrs back? If so should they not be in a federal prison? Is there away to find out which ones are being released-through the internet and court records?

I just heard a radio report about the 5150 gang returning to the south side of Youngstown.  These gang members are now in the process of being released from prison and are returning home.  From what I've heard, the gang has alread started to mark its turf with gang graffiti.  Some of the recent south side killings are the result of returning drug dealers eliminating the competition that replaced them while they were in prison.

A Few Questions For South Side Residents

Have you noticed an increase in gang graffiti?

How is your neighborhood preparing to deal with this problem?
