Slowly but surely, the rights of people are being chipped away

As for Opie's comment

Chipping away the rights of organised gangs is something I and every other decent human being with half a brain supports.

Aside from my first thought that this is simply a troll statement, I definitely disagree with it. There are many groups which could easily fall under the label 'gangs', but are harmless and simply seeking that tribal, family-like connection within a group of like-minded souls. That doesn't make them any less deserving of 'rights'. I say, let the groups' actions speak for themselves. If a group proves itself to be overwhelmingly 'bad', fine... they SHOULD be monitored closely and action should be taken against them. Otherwise, leave them the hell alone.

Well in this case, the groups actions do speak for themselves. The report said that the police will no longer need a warrant to raid them, which means they have been raided before. They are obviously doing more than collecting toys for tots.
