Temple Street (TST) in Central Los Angeles

Varrio Westside Temple Street [TST] is a predominately Hispanic gang located in the central area of Los Angeles west of downtown. Founded in the early 1920s, TST is among the oldest street gang in Los Angeles named after one of the oldest streets in Los Angeles. They have a unique history of being a racially diverse gang, especially during the 1970s and 1980s, when they had black, Filipino and White members.

The Filipinos eventually started their own cliques under Temple Street, called the Pinoy Locos (PLS) and Satanas (STS) which eventually broke off of TST and created their own street gangs.

The cliques of TST in this neighborhood are:

  1. Coronado Street Locos (CST), started in the late 90s (Coronado & Temple Street area)
  2. Cut Throats (CTS), started in the 60s (Coronado & Temple Street area)
  3. Death Boy Locos (DBLS), started in the mid 2000s (Coronado & Temple Street area)
  4. Dukes (DKS), started in the 60s (Coronado & Temple Street area)
  5. Micheltorena Locos (MTLS), started in the 80s as a gang then got absorbed into Temple Street (Micheltorena & sunset area)
  6. Midget Locos (MLS), started in the 50-60s (Coronado & Temple Street area)
  7. Mountain View Locos (MVLS), started in the early 2000s. (Mountain View & Temple area)
  8. Night Stalkers (NSK), started in late 1980s as tagging crew before joining temple. (La Fayette & Bellevue area)
  9. Party Locos
  10. Park Dillon Locos, started in late 70s, became a click of temple in the early 80s. (Dillon & 2nd Street area)
  11. Pee Wee Locos (PWLS), started in the 80s (Coronado & Temple Street area)
  12. Pinoy Locos (PLS), started in the 70s (Rosemont & Temple Street area)
  13. Rosemont Locos (RLS), started in the mid 2000s (Rosemont & Beverly Blvd area)
  14. Satanas (STS), broke off and became their own gang in 1970s
  15. Tiny Locos (TLS), started in the 60s (Coronado & Temple Street area)
  16. Wild Bunch (WB), started in mid 2000s (Coronado & Temple Street area)

Even if gang life is all you know, think of all the reasons why you are in a gang. I bet you all your reasons are dumb as f. I get pissed because all you fools are smart guyed. Yall think your just hard motherfers. And if your willing to live for your gang, trust me you’ll never be remembered. And if you end up taking one to the dome and go to hell, you’ll realize you were nobody to begin with. if you want to meet up so i can rehabilitate your .P ass.

    Fighting and k-ingg over little turf that really has no connection to us, whatsoever. While we got real GANGSTERS in congress and politics. Guess this is exactly what they want; lambs to the slaughter by our own kind. Nice…..

  52. Lust Vs Love

    I once dated a Temple Street Gang Memeber
    Let me tell you guys.. so we met at a gas station (I won’t say which one) but obviously you guys will figure it out, anyways we end it up exchanging numbers at this point in my life I had just broken up with the love of my life who I’m currently with now my baby daddy. Don’t get me wrong I wasn’t looking to hook up . It just happened so fast it was literally late night I was coming from my girls house, she happens to stay around the area. So yea everyday he would text me “Good Morning :)” and of course I fell for all those little text messages like the dumb girl that I was..a little into two months we would see each other like everyday i was crazy in lust lol but then I found out he has a girlfriend and all this time I was being lied to. I was new to the “game” and had no idea he was playing me!! I was furious I confronted him & his “current gf” idk what I was thinking I should’ve never done that but I was so pissed off cause I opened up to this dude! and he would have hickies from god knows what girl.. Of course I let it go and STILL met up and hung out do our thang and so on for almost 6 months I would pay for everything.. cause I’ don’t rely on a Ni66ah to pay for my ish till one night the tables turned and guess who was the butt hurt one now..but yea that’s my story lol hope you guys enjoyed it as I enjoyed reading these comments, what if all of you rivals get together and have some TEA

    The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.
