The Hateful 8: The Most Dangerous Gangs in Connecticut You Need to Know About
We see the warnings on TV, we read about American gangs in our news feed but when the story is over, it's right back to life.

Many of us look at gangs as someone else's problem, an issue that exists in a far-off land. This is not reality. Some of the most dangerous gangs in America have a foothold right here in Connecticut. I went looking for more information and found the CT Justice Department is not only aware of the problem, but they want you to be cognizant of it.

What we often see on TV can feel distant and fictional, but for some, it’s an everyday reality. The thought of living with the constant stress of not knowing if today will be the day someone is coming for you is truly mind-blowing. I can’t even begin to imagine how you cope with that kind of tension and fear day in and day out.
Connecticut is a place of stark contrasts. On one hand, you have some of the most beautiful and affluent communities in the entire country. On the other, there are neighborhoods that resemble war zones, where violence and danger are part of daily life.
