Gangs - A Growing And REAL Threat

This is whats going on in my home state of Vermont, the most rural state of America. NO WHERE is safe and you really have to have a gun carry license these days.



Police: Suspected gang member assaults shooting witness






WHITE RIVER JUNCTION — An alleged member of the “Satan’s Disciples” street gang was in court Monday after police said he hospitalized a key witness to a shooting that took place earlier this month in down town Springfield.

Dennis “DJ” Allen, 28, of Springfield pleaded innocent to a felony count of aggravated assault for allegedly punching John Johnston of Springfield hard enough to break Johnston’s nose and cheek bones.

Johnston was one of a half dozen witnesses to a wild shooting incident that took place July 9 in the heart of downtown Springfield. He identified Terrick Craft, 28, a reputed member of “The Bloods” gang, as the shooter who fired numerous rounds at Nick Brown, who managed to flee into Allen’s nearby apartment without getting hit. Craft has since pleaded innocent to a charge of attempted second-degree murder.

Springfield Police Officer Jeremy Fitzgibbons said that when several officers and detectives subsequently went to arrest Allen at his residence, they found 7.5 grams of marijuana in his pockets packaged in seven individual black baggies with gold skulls printed on them. They said the marking matched a similar skull tattoo on Allen’s forearm. Police also seized a handgun that was discovered in Allen’s bedroom and are looking into possible federal charges against him because his criminal record appears to indicate at least one prior felony conviction from Florida, which would make it illegal for him to possess a firearm.
