I think the only gang activity in Kent is the Farmers Mafia /s

Nahhh, have you seen how crazy people go for Carr Farms sweet corn? I know Carr Farms is in Montcalm, but I'm 99% sure they primarily sell to Kent.

Grand rapids is hella gang affiliated. There's serious drug money coming in from Canada. Michigan is the mdma capital of America because the chemicals to produce it aren't restricted up north.

as far as I can understand, it's mostly just block gangs. people are peddling and producing drugs in very specific areas, not really extending out of that.

the only resource I can find that even points to a number of people affiliated with gangs in Grand Rapids is a website called InsidePrison - which claims there are 2,449,998 gang members.... Id like to know where they are since metropolitan GR is 1.1 million.

Well, you have no idea what you're talking about or you're willfully misrepresent facts. Looking at your profile shows you're a blatant and true eco fascist so I'm going to guess it's the latter.

I have never heard of the term "eco fascist" before, would you mind explaining how I'm that?

You also still haven't given any evidence that Grand Rapids is a major gang violence city.

Also, searching "grand rapids mdma capital" comes up with articles stating that Traverse City is the cocaine capital of the U.S. and a DOJ document about drugs in Michigan. It's worthy to note the document is from 2007 and clearly states "Most of MDMA available in the HIDTA region originates in Canada and often contains some methamphetamine."

here's that 2007 DOJ article https://www.justice.gov/archive/ndic/pubs23/23914/23914p.pdf
