Gangs in Canada (Montreal Riots...)

How does one bring up a topic of immigrant gangs and subsequent criminal activities and not have someone say he is a bigot or racist or a nazi or such. I'm not any of the above.... so eat me if you think I am....
There seems to be an uptake in gang membership and increase in gangs themselves across the country. You can't tell me the riots in Montreal were not gang related. The cop who shot the teen (most likely gang member) that was advancing to attack him, along with how many others, was acting in self defense. It was a gang mobbing that the officer was not going to stand for and if anyone thinks that he should have taken the chance of a severe beating from a mob, for doing his job, rather than draw his weapon and shoot, has an altered sense of what police are paid for.
mob[1,noun]mob[2,transitive verb]
Pronunciation: \ˈmäb\
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin mobile vulgus vacillating crowd
Date: 1688
1: a large or disorderly crowd; especially : one bent on riotous or destructive action2: the lower classes of a community : masses, rabble3chiefly Australian : a flock, drove, or herd of animals4: a criminal set : gang; especially often capitalized : mafia 15chiefly British : a group of people : crowd

The original incident was gang related and the subsequent riots were likely gang instigated. How many upstanding citizens would shoot at cops....gang members. It was a chance for people to loot. How do people think relations are to be improved in a poor neighborhood when they do this ? They won't. Normal citizens and victims of the looting will exact revenge in some way. It just won't be covered by the media too much as it would lead to more violence. Also, most of the immigrants in the community come from countries where they were repressed by the police forces there and they have to get it through their heads that it is not the same here. That's why you came, isn't it ? Not a good excuse. You were a shit disturber there and the same here. They ruin it for the ones that try to actually adapt to the Canadian way.
My view on gang violence and gangs in general is that there should be zero tolerance. If it's found you belong to a violent gang, you go to jail. If you are a recently landed immigrant (within 10 years) you are deported. That's it. Done. Had your chance. Realistically most gangs are immigrant dominant such as the haitian gangs in Montreal and elsewhere and the asian gangs mostly out west. There seems to be a Canada wide labour shortage, as reported by the media, so why can't these kids get a job ? I know how plain that sounds...'get a job'...but it's true. Take off the stupid sideways hat and chains and baggy pants and get a job. You can't use the excuse that you can't get an education. It's public. Just too lazy. Get a govt loan to go to college. I guess there's more money in gang activity than having a real job. A little more exciting. Makes for a nice break in the day. You could go on and try to take a social worker's attitude towards rehabilitation for these gangs but that won't get you anywhere. The last thing that is needed here is a gang like the south american one MI 13. This one has spread into the States and consists of South Americans who are insanely violent against anyone. If the system doesn't crack down on immigrant dominant gangs harshly...and soon...then we will start to lose our Canadian identity as a peaceful place to live and start looking like some US city like LA.
Time to stop blaming society and your home country and take responsibility for your actions and future. If your not willing to do that.... go back home. Really. How can you not expect a public backlash ? Do you think the Canadian public has an endless supply of pity ? Some do...most don't and it's time they act on it. Maybe we should protest in their neighbourhoods......OK....again....so it's a middling minority who actually carry out the violent stuff....yep..the gangs. Deport them. Deport the Canadian gang losers to a new facility 1000 miles North of Nunavut and the others out of the country. Please please please don't think of telling me..."they were oppressed in their country and will take time to build up trust towards our police forces ....." SHOT to the solar plexus.....knee to the nuts.....freak.
