S/n I noticed a lot of OGs from LA were all into Bodybuilding and martial arts. It’s Real discipline to program daily to that level, gotta respect it.

[@justakidtryingtomakeitgrin4417]

Now there are all junkies

[@ratswagger]

That's what made the Crips so appealing to a lot of kids. They would workout and practice martial arts. Even Raymond Washington, founder of the Crips was a bodybuilder

[@billyjacc]

That's how it was everywhere.

[@rickyhall500]

They grew up in that era... That song (Everybody was Kung fu fighting) was a trend in dat era and if you listen to some of the older gangstas a lot of them started exploring with steroids like Tookie Williams.

I know Mr Munson personally and he’s super chill/humble and cool and honestly last time I saw in the Baldwin Hills Village he was in good shape for his age…

[@MellonMellon-g7m]

@@MrfkKZbin LA in the 60s shit

[@JoeRogansForehead]

Maybe he shouldn’t have tried to hide the corpse . Obviously he didn’t trust the police enough to call them but the worst thing you can do is try and dump the body somewhere . That makes it seem like you did something wrong and need to hide it . I’m sure if he called the cops he woulda had a good chance of getting arrested too. But there’s a better chance he can claim self defense , even if it has to be later in court. Try explaining in court why it was a self defense killing but you had to put the body in your car and hide it after . Kinda hard to do to a white jury.

One thing I respect about the old gang leaders/members is that they LOOKED LIKE MEN! Their presence was masculine! These 130lb guys with 1000 tattoos and a switch ain’t it! Because at the end of the day you’re eventually gonna have to get PHYSICAL. Ain’t no guns in jail. What don’t guys understand about this? Being strong is part of being a man 💪🏽

@ exactly and most were white men that would beat them up and they would also get beat up by police officers after getting beat up by the military men that’s why I’m saying I’m sure at that point they had no fear of some body builders to be clicking up with the race that’s literally beating them up outside.

You did right Bro. Ppl outside don't know there was gangs before Crips and Bloods. And Craig was from that time. Like, what they know about The Business Men, what they know about The Gladiators? In 2024 them is our ancestors. The Slausons, The Chain Gang. It gets deep

Idk if yall notice how many of these brothers families moved them out west from the Deep South. Ain’t nothing new by any means but I felt it should be stated for anyone who cares benefit: Not only did Black folk get the hell out of the south for better opportunities out west, many poor whites did too. So while black folk settled in to the neighborhoods they did, the whites did the same and yall know one of the main occupations they went for? Police. A lot of the drama between our communities and both LASD and LAPD and even the random local PDs comes from the police force having generational hatred for Black folk (and brown for that matter). I’m not preaching or nothing like that but I believe it’s important that people who stay in a certain area and who have roots there are aware. Stay informed and stay free, don’t let those people take your freedom.
