Tucson Gangs

[guardsman]

I will be visiting Tucson in October 2008, where are some of the gang hot spots where I would most likely find gang graffiti to take photos of?

i used to stay out there, most the gang activity is on the south and west side. go south on campell and bust a left or a right on 36th st and u will see a lot.. probably more to the left. thats western hills.. its black and mexican.. anywhere on 6th ave and 12th ave south of 22nd street. umm westside will be west of i-10 freeway on st marys or whatever streets broadway and speedway turn into. thats barrio hollywood. u might have to look kind of hard for gang graffitti. maybe not though

Do all arizona varrios fall under the influnence of the new mexican mafia in the prisons?

[282828]

i would imagine so even though there is a lot of mexican crip and blood hoods, i guess they fall under the new eme i dont know cause the original one wouldnt have that.. i would like to know more about that whole new eme thing cause i think they fall under the og eme in the feds so im not sure what it really is and what the surenos do in arizona joints.

[GJIMAS180]

I heard the new eme started there own thing because they didn't want to take orders from the califas eme being they were from arizona and in boxer enriquez book the black hand it states that the cali/federal eme is trying to unite all factions of the eme under one flag.

No offense but I don't see how hispanics are in a predominant black gang. When they go to prison how is that going to work?
