Arguing that it was necessary “to have an organised effort against gangs”, and their members Clinton said: “They are often the kinds of kids that are called super predators – no conscience, no empathy.

Everything can be misconstrued... When out of context. It sounds racist and prejudice but if you check it in 96 things were so bad in the US. I dunno id have to see the actual content.
