Oops! sorry for the delay.
Translation:
"My goodness Pubby, you are certainly preaching to the choir! Unfortunately, there are gangs in this county, but I think that if we all take responsibility for our neighborhoods and schools that we can contain the growth of these groups and let them know in no uncertain terms that we will NOT stand for their violence. That we as a community will stand tall against them. Today has been quiet so I think that they might be starting to get this message"!
