Nashville, Tenn.; Public nuisance lawsuit filed against Kurdish gang
By KRISTIN M. HALL, Associated Press
Tuesday, June 5, 2012
Nashville, Tenn. (AP). Nashville police say they have filed the state's first public
nuisance lawsuit against a street gang made up of Kurdish refugees.
 The lawsuit filed Tuesday names the Kurdish Pride Gang and 24
individuals accused of being members. It seeks to prohibit them from
meeting anywhere within a 1.43-square-mile area south of downtown
Nashville that includes city parks, an elementary school and
neighborhoods.
"This is the first time in the state of Tennessee that a local
government has sought to have a street gang and a group of its alleged
members declared a public nuisance," said Mayor Karl Dean.
The lawsuit is based on the addition of criminal gang activity to the
state's public nuisance law in 2009. Typically the public nuisance law
has been used by cities and local governments to shut down businesses
associated with crimes like prostitution and illegal alcohol sales or
consumption.
Dean and members of the city police department announced the lawsuit
during a press conference at Paragon Mills Park, which is one of two
city parks within the area that police want declared a "safe zone."
