Yes, what they should be. And you are right, there's no protection for law abiding citizens who are the victims. All benefit goes to criminals, and our "10 strikes and we'll give you another chance" way of doing things is clearly not in favour for the rest of us.

FTR, I don't think longer sentences against individual perpetrators is the solution. There are always more poor kids to pull into the gang.

The only way to successfully deal with violent gangs is actual good investigation; implicate the people in charge, and put them in jail instead of their patsies. In the USA they'd use RICO to do so if they wanted to, which they don't. Here in Canada, I'm not sure which law would be the most effective route, but it probably doesn't matter anyways
