[edit] removed uncited text

I have removed the following from the article:

Although Wynnum has its 'nicer' areas, from wynnum central back to wynnum west/north a large range of poverty has occured over the last 40 years. Wynnum has a reputation of relentless violence and a high crime rate. Due to these circumstances there have been a numerous amount of gangs 'representing' the streets of wynnum. Wynnum or the 'dUb C' has not been safe to walk the streets (in certain areas) at night since the late 60's/ early 70's. Being contaminated with gangs such as WRS, KOT, BTS and newly formed group PIR, who have been building a reputation for themselves as new aussie hip-hop artists, make it difficult to walk the streets alone without having eyes in the back of your head.

Wynnum also consists of many slum-like housing estates generally founder by local villian Jack Davis. Davis, originating his career in the porn industy has since emerged into the slums of Wynnum and has developed a bit of a cult following within his fellow low life slum-livers. Davis is also an unsuccessful gang leader, victim of many cruel bashings and harsh teasings.

It needed spelling and grammar fixes and wikification. However it appears to need verification and references more, so I've moved it off the page until these references can be found. --Scott Davis ^Talk 15:05, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
