Wichita is at best 1/2 the size of Calgary and there is absolutely a gang problem here.
I know it has nothing to do with Calgary, but I've long believed Wichita to have a crime rate much higher than cities of comparable size, foreign or domestic.

Yeah, here in the U.S. it's almost like crime rates are in a different category. Calgary gets their 28th and it's followed by hand-wringing and worry about gang problems--but here in Philadelphia, we're on pace for more than 1 murder and 5 shootings PER DAY.
Last week a police officer was shot as he walked into a Dunkin' Donuts that was being robbed. I'll repeat that--a guy was robbing a freaking DUNKIN' DONUTS, and decided "cop killer" was a good title to add to his resume.
I miss Calgary.
