We are tribal because of
                     divisional anger

Tribal packing from fear:
   – The gang /tribe
   – We and them thinking
   – Leverages fear and
     desperation
   – Embraces criminal behavior
   – Features drugs, alcohol and
     weapons
   – Intimidates
   – Slanders
   – Suppresses
   – Anger
   – Hate
   – Expects failure
   – Poverty
