Just some links I saw.

I like the way you guys think Dusty and Kicker. You two have a lot of knowledge about history, yet have enlightenment, openness, and tolerance that others here do not.

Thanks Dusty

I wonder what others here think about this topic, like Real for example. Not all whites that end up going to jail are racist or want to be part of a white power gang. Sometimes they're a product of their environment as much as any other race. But if they are rejected by Bloods or Crips on the whole,...

Great post tatta, you speak a lot of painful truths and wisdom.

I read it's pretty bad in the Chicago area also, with Hispanic gangs going at it with Black gangs, with racial shootings on the streets.

Did anyone else catch that news show on L.A. county coroners? I think it's the same channel that showed the documentary on L.A. county jail. Anyways, one of the segments showed an innocent Black man that got gunned down by Hispanic gangsters due to gang conflicts. I'm not sure what part of L.A. it w...

A sad state of affairs for incarcerated youth.

Thanks stateraised, yes, this is a pretty cool discussion thread. An associate of mine's that I know, works as a correctional officer (don't know exactly where, I don't ask it's just casual conversation), was telling a group of us about a recent squabble between crips and bloods. Some were asking hi...

Well stated wcrockets. The real has some valid points but like you said he just takes things to the extreme and ends up alienating others. He argues that hispanics or latinos are 'silent' about racism in their own ranks, but that is simply not true as state raised and sam doobie would be the first o...

George, there's a lot of "history" you need to understand. The 'greenlight' on asians in county/state wasn't racial in origin. Big Dusty would probably know a lot more about this and he could clue us all in/correct any of my wrong observations. But for sure it has become racial now, as has a lot of ...

That's a cool link and a very fascinating read. It's amazing reading about the various gang alliances and warfare back then. I always thought the Chicago gang scene was unique in the sheer numbers of different gangs that aligned themselves into two main factions.

Integration of Asian Inmates Angers Families Sheriff Lee Baca meets with about two dozen people concerned that his move to end jail segregation will put loved ones in danger. By Andrew Blankstein, Times Staff Writer Nearly two dozen people angered by a recent decision by the Los Angeles County Sheri...

I'm seeing a lot of posts here with accusations and animosities on all sides, especially on this controversial subject matter. A common attack here seems to be that all Mexican American gangsters/Latino's are racists, and another discussion point is their alliance with the Aryan Brotherhood in the p...

Thought this was cool (need to register though):

I remember reading a newspaper article about them not too long ago, the article said that they are somewhat at the bottom of the prison "food chain" compared to the Mexican Mafia/AB, some called HA's "booger eaters." Still, I think the HA deserve respect because of their high propensity for violence...

[quote="wcrockets"]Geesh remember the part where they asked the psycho guy why he shot Cyrus and he answered "No reason, I just like doing things like that!"[/quote]

And the beer bottles, "WAAAARRRIIIOOOOORRRSS......come out and playyyyyyyyy......"

All my friends still crack up about that one.

Heck yea, this is like one of my all time fave movies, a true classic and masterpiece of cinema. I bought it on DVD when it first came out, hopefully they'll release another version with more frills and bells/whistles. It may seem laughable to audiences today with all of the garrish outfits, but bac...

[quote="wcrockets"]Yes interestedguy. It's true. I was running around alviero street los angeles and Echo Park as a ten year old in the early 1970's all alone. I would play the first ever video game(s) with Black friends who had steel combs stuck in their afros (though they would never let me touch ...

You make a lot of insightful posts and replies wcrockets, by my statements I didn't mean to imply that ALL White people didn't care about the problems of gangs and violence. What I was trying to state was that I feel as if the mainstream MEDIA doesn't care about these incidents of violence as long a...

Hello all, This is an interesting and good discussion because it's really tragic on all sides. Again, I must re-iterate that I have no gang affiliations, I just used to have friends a long time ago that were into gangs and I lived in Southern California in the past, so these things I have an interes...

Hi all, no gang affiliation here, just someone that has been visiting this website almost since the beginning. I know there's gangs in L.A. county that have members of races other than the majority. But my question is, what happens when they go to prison? Because we all know things in the pen can be...
