Harpys was a Motorcycle gang. My uncle was one of the main vatos from their.

TIK was the insane kings, now they are tiny insane kriminals

I know DHT was small if it was even considered a gang in WLA, but I think the tagging crew that was beefing with NHD back in the day became the gang DHT.

I think some of those dudes went to Uni High

I live close to BP and the only people making noise is ES Bolen and NS Bolen, thye are both pretty physical and have been for years, cant see KHA being able to carve anything out in that area, I do see some KHAx3 tags on the freeway sometime but its right in ESBP hood so I know they arent running anything there.
What about NBT, UBC in HP, BSA on the westside.

Where is Devils Hoodlums, city? streets?

[triplethreat]

^Devious Hoodlums is from Anaheim. Not sure what their hood blocks are. They claim Anaheim Devious Hoodlums (ADH). One of their main rivals is Anaheim La Colonia. Also, the EK I'm referring to in that post is from Santa Ana. Not sure if they're directly connected to the EK in the city of Hawthorne.
