StreetGangs.Com forum on gangs around the world

North Hollywood runs the gammit. We've got true old school crews like C14 and we've got imports like Logan Heights. North Hollywood Boyz ws18thst nsMS North Hollywood Locos Wanderers C14 Logan Heights VLS VBS some ALS(mostly in the Van Nuys border area) NHPZ NFL the list goes on..... All that i ment...

Interesting. A documentary on NC gangs in Durham. If elonhooper(an NC school, with a basketball reference) is actually posting and not just slangin an ad, I'd like to talk to you. as far as blkjopker's question goes... This is what i know from the Charlotte and Raleigh papers and NC gang investigato...

I've been wrong before, but I know ALL along the border of North Hollywood and burbank and back-up into NOHO I've been seeing AWC stuff on the walls lately(going back 7-8 months). Maybe you should ask JD I know you're asking about AWG, but it's just too close of a coincidence. Whoever they are they'...

Maybe I'm sensitive cause I'm from the East coast south but..."ALL YOUR PEOPLE"?
What the "I WILL be banned" is that?

This seems to be how I start a lot of posts lately, but thanks JD. Been wondering about the basics of both crews for more than a year but I've never seen a name spelled out before.
That's the trouble with only knowing what you've seen.

Thanks for setting me straight JD. I just wanna learn.

Yeah Killjoy, the only problem i've got with that is that i've never seen ANY MS stuff on ANY wall within three or four miles of this neighborhood. It may be that MS took them out...but MS didn't replace them. I think it's BFLN or BLFN? sorry, I usually have my @#$% together, but the last few times ...

what?

Sooner or later i'd have to ask this one. Again it's centered on the SF valley. I see 129 tags EVERYWHERE in the east valley and i've seen lots of DSM stuff(same question goes for DSM) that's been crossed out by 129 and vice versa. Sometimes i'm convinced it's two warring tagger crews and then I hav...

Gotta back up JD's info about seeing CMK all over the east valley, but I also lean twords Ruthless's assesment, because i've never seen a V or B in front of it and i've never seen a 13 after it.
Probably confused the issue more than helped, but that's all i know.

Really JD?
They've got gang connections? Kinda strikes me hard cause i didn't think that's how they worked.
That would mean a change in what i understood to be their trip.

so much for that. I asked him today what he could tell me about a tat on his shoulder that says S.H. overlaying what looks like a KKK hooded guy.....when i got dirrect he said he doesn't want to talk to me anymore. Fancy that. Just like that. Old man's probably gonna kick it soon anyway, i've just b...

I know that a few years ago they used to do a lot of work in the melrose area, and i know that they were fairly spread out as far as where people lived. Some downtown, some in Hollywood, some in the valley. Also seen more than a few pieces on trains. Kind of a rolling billboard. If they don't cover ...

This may make me look bad, but I know a guy who's OG White-guy from Burbank(origionally Southgate) who doesn't claim anyboby anymore who may have some actual info on this topic. (He's as old as the trees) I'm working HARD to try and milk him for info. Give me a week or two to see if I can actually g...

The suicide of my best friend with a gun I gave him to protect himself and his future wife with. That was some serriously screwed up @#$% there! Took me a couple of years to not blame myself. Now I know that it has more to do with his emotions and less to do with me giving him a gun....but still.......

OK, I don't live there, but I got fammily. They know my interrests, and they've sent me several articles from the "Charlotte Observer". They've done a multi-part series about how Mara Salvatrucha is raising ALL KINDS OF hell around there. More than a dozen murders and all kinds of chaos. It's almost...

I actually like this flick, but i've been told that it isn't a realistc portrayal. I've also been told that American Me is a more acurate prtrayal of the same events...
Anybody know the truth?

Thanks Ruthless. Yeah, I figured that something that big doesn't die easy. I'm actually a fan. I've seen a crapload of Graff in the last ten years, but as far as Tagger crews go I think they're in my top 3. They've goy some BIG pieces in the valley that have stayed on walls for VERY long periods of ...

I've been seeing a lot of Logan Heights CCK(California Crazy Killers) Graffiti lately in the valley....Aren't they from San Diego?

I'm pretty sure they're still throwin stuff up on the walls, but I don't see nearly as much lately. Anybody know why? Again my experience is mainly on the NS, but i used to see a lot of it and now I don't. Can't Be Stopped was what i understood CBS to stand for, but I was always told that there were...

Man! This whole thread was a really good read. I've got new perspective(which is the point as i see it) Like i've said in another thread on the same basic issue, my main concern has always been the effect that injunctions have on the innocents that get caught up in this lumping of anybody who's wear...

civil_thor...that post you made in July(i think?) actually made me think a little more on the subject than i had in a while. Untill now my main concerns have been for the innocent people who get wrapped-up in the injunction scene. Now i'm thinking more of community involvement. Really man Thanks for...

I don't think it said it on the jackets, they were saying that to anybody who'd listen. And I do agree, they didn't look like they belonged with that crowd and were very aggressive whereas everybody else just was mellow. Also nobody else was dressed similarly. It's hard to explain if you've never be...

I've got a friend whos a guitar player in a rocksteady band here in LA(a pretty big band nationally actually) and last year I went to one of his shows at the Whiskey a go-go in Hollywood. There were like 25 guys from some skinhead crew in Long Beach who showed up and they were just there to fight. F...

Anybody know any general information on ALS? I've known about them from a neighborhood i used to live in in the valley, but i just know their name and that they're an LA crew with a northside.
Pretty much anything would be better than what i already know.

Oh yeah, and as far as Hollywood goes i see HGS on a pretty regular basis still, but primarilly around the western-ish part of Hwd Blvd.
Kinda hard to really tell by the walls in Hollywood though cause they got that freakin army of people painting over stuff every day cause of the tourists.

The only 18st click i've seen on the walls in the last couple of years on the north side is NS 18st Cons. I see it spread around pretty good though. They seem to have been beefin with Boys From The Hood(BFTHx3) and the NS Alley Locos set around Sherman way and Coldwater lately. ALS has been in that ...

Mysonnne, JD & Gibby....
Thanks for responding. It's people like you guys that make it worth living a real life.
Thanks.
Picman

Not to question you or anything antagonistic like that, but they do tag up NS18st cons or NS MS felons or WS C14st or WS Playboysx3. Those that are claiming a North side are saying it in their tags. Others are claiming West side even though they've been here for more than a decade in C14's case. Jus...

I'd actually like to see some fairly reliable(as un-biased as could be hoped for) numbers about effectiveness(immediate and visible crime rate drops) vs. any visible and immediate rise in three strkes convictions. Obviously they're going to impact each other but the combination of the two with incre...

Here's one i've been wondering about. In the SF Valley there are a lot of LA expansion crews. Some claim North side, others are still West side. Like WS Playboys, WSC14st or NS18st, NS MS. Why don't some LA crews claim NS when they're clearly operating on the North side? Is it a size thing? Not quit...
