that would've given real-life teenage girl gangs idea, wouldn't it???
You sure don't think much of the intelligence of gang members do you? I guarantee you that there was nothing in this that gangs didn't already do to not only civilians but rival gangs/gang members. Hell, I've seen worse treatment of victims on US television shows! (And by the way, it wasn't a "girl gang", it was just female members of a gang.)
nothing done to those little bitches to deliver the ease-of-mind balance.
Did you really watch this episode? One got shot and the others were caught and went to jail. TPtB may not of shown it but you should be able to infer it, Greg and company weren't going to release them after they were arrested and they were arrested.
No wonder this serie end up like another Canadian serial "The Listener"
And like
TesubCalle said, this show didn't end up like anything. The makers of the show decided to end it at 75 episodes. Both CTV and ION would have loved more seasons. This show was a ratings winner all over the world.

The balance I was talking about is the physical harassment. Those three should've received the same treatment, not just a custodial status. It's what grown-ups do decades ago: spank the naughty girl(s). And I mean the proper one, not the fantasy kind.
Extreme justice, you may call it.

You realize the episode only showed the gang members being questioned by the SRU team. We did not see an arraignment or a court case, judgment or sentencing. This is not a Law & Order show that details the police investigation and court proceedings.
Be logical.
Law enforcement officers are not supposed to mete out punishment before a trial. That would be a breach of ethics, no matter how much the cops themselves might want to dish out a little retribution, or how much a disturbed and outraged viewer might want to see it.
If you want to see the girl gang members "punished", write your own story with an alternate conclusion to satisfy your own morbid sense of "justice". It's called "Fanfiction", and I hear it can be very cathartic and therapeutic if you didn't like how the actual episode played out.

Great response.
With all the anger, it sounds like the OP may have been bullied or something, in which case I do feel pity for her/him - but you are exactly correct, we need to discern reality from fictional TV and react accordingly.

What's illegal for them to do is also illegal to be done to them.

And they would have been released before they'd spent an hour in jail!
