Cruising ban lifted, allowing lowriders chance to resume tradition and return to California streets

Michele Gile reports from East Los Angeles, where hundreds of lowrider enthusiasts rejoiced as a ban on cruising was lifted when midnight struck, allowing the decades-old tradition to return to the streets of California.

Does cruising hold up regular traffic and emergency vehicles? Are people forced to use side roads if they need to be somewhere within a reasonable time?

[@jackgorski5237]

no

Yes! It definitely does.

@@BFRIZZLE909 I don’t think cruising is exclusive to low riders. I’m saying kids will bring their Hondas and Infiniti’s out and F it up for the respectful OG’s.

[@donbergas1655]

Nope that was in Downtown LA done by homeless.. This is East Los Angeles

[@thedrunkweddingphotographer]

@@donbergas1655 Correct. Had to look it up 'cause all these stories are hard to keep up with them happening daily. So it was the Nike Store in East Los that was looted, which is a block or two West of Foot Locker. I actually lived right up the street from there behind the King Taco on 3rd for 10+ years. A shame I keep hearing about this part of town on the news frequently. When I moved in, it was always quiet except for the Paisa parties on Wednesdays.

[@Modernaire]

Thank you. Oh but the media, local news media and others like the LA Times certainly love to push this detrimental, backwards, regressive, oppressive sub culture back on Latinos and paint ALL of us as representative of ALL Latino ethnicities. There are non-Chicano Latinos that work hard, go through many sacrifices to gain and education and not be pulled back down, I mean literally FIGHT this and here it is being brought back... it's something else. Incredible. It's 2024 for crying out loud. Not 1954, or 1974.

[@nessa6997]

You don’t like it??? Get tf out

[@pacohuerte3124]

Just because you brown don’t mean you down. There hasn’t been a drive by in southern Cali by Chicanos since the late 90s if you were down you would know that and why.

As you can see the gang communication, the gang culture starts to rear its head here the violence of suggestions and references to violence street gang violence isn’t that interesting?
