[@dontworryaboutit4255]

I completely know. Fully well. I was raised around them as my mom's dad did work for them but he wouldn't join them. My mom, uncle and my other cousins and myself and my brother when we got old enough we all seen and went through things nobody ever should. Then I got in a 3 1/2 year relationship with a POS who never joined the HA but he was raised by them and did work for them as he was the most abusive POS and I thank the Lord I got away from him and my family. After my mom died my cousins tried to murder me 4 times and I left and never went back. That was 7 years ago and I have NEVER spoken to them and plan to never ever go back. I've never been happier since uprooting myself from those scum bags and making a new life for myself. And I did. I was homeless for years. Now I'm going to college full time for nursing and business. My cousins are still popping out babies left and right for their mom to raise while they still do drugs, drink and pimp themselves out for the gang. I pray for their kids and my brother who is still stuck at that house in that life.

There is so reason to think they have changed their ways at all. The only difference would be that the members from a long time ago are either old or have died by now and their younger family members taking over are still sharping the edges of the sword. That's all I'm gonna say. There is absolutely zero question on whether or not they are still as bad as they once were.

@@donsims1941 If you actually study crime and therefore know what youre talking about like I do, you'd realise that in fact, "gang neighbourhoods" have the heaviest police prescence and therefore most crime. The key indicator and cause for crime taking off in a neghbourhood is the police making the strategic (and political/race related in fact as they exist mainly to protect the interest of the wealthy and corporations and are of course inherently racist) decision to flood an area with police, and then crime rises, the heavier they police an area, the more criminality takes off, its a natural response and a well understoood sociological phenom

The Pastor is so right. It is men who need to make and support change in other men and let younger men know that perpetuating a world of hurt onto your family, your wife and your children is not the way.

Growing up in HK as a gweilo kid, triads are so underground and unseen but were cool. Never an issue.They had the monopoly and business wasn't good if bad things happened. I remember one kid at school missing his bus and wandering off in the 90s, the low level triads picked him up and dropped him to the police station. It was around Sha Tin. Parents were freaking out until he was found.

Okay, that retired agent has been said to never have been an official Hells Angel. Many, many, years ago they did a full breakdown of the operation that he was on and MANY high ranking leaders said that they never consider him as one of them. In the show me and my dad watched he was very bragidocious about how deep undercover he thought he was, but a lot of the Hells Angels thought of him as a boy scout trying too hard. A lot of them felt like he was a fed because of how eager he was. I agree 100% that the dest of the gang members on here were elbows deep in gang activity, but the only gang the retired agent was in was The Federal Government. That's not an interview with a former Hells Angel or a Hells Angel.

In my experience living in a neighborhood with a lot of gang activity in North Portland, 2/3 of gang shooting victims are either random people who looked like the gang member or just a passer by getting shot. Only 1/3 of the time is the target person hit.

[@chriswinchester2322]

With all the respect I said LOL when I read North Portland. And I know it will I'm from Seattle and I did leave 10 years in East Los Angeles and the Bay area which take the cake in regards to organize gangs but no doubt Seattle and its surrounding areas or times more dangerous than North Portland for talking about actual gangs. I spent a lot of time in that area at the horse track as well. I just didn't notice.

I grew up in Ventura, CA, where George Christie was President of the Hell's Angels. I'm pretty sure he was the longest active President in the club's history. Throughout my childhood, they would "patrol" the streets and the kids and families were quite scared of them. Later on, I got to know several ex-members and friends of prominent members, and also learned more about them when Christie started really telling his story. They were kicked out of town at some point. But it turns out, they actually had unofficial agreements with Law Enforcement to help keep gang activity under control in the city, and even though they were running drugs, etc, they did prioritize the safety of the community and kids,, obviously only to a degree. But as soon as they were gone, the city was overrun with gangs and street violence, drugs flooded the streets, and things got much worse. It wasn't like they were saints, but they did keep their business to themselves for the most part, and definitely contributed to preventing widespread gang activity. A lot of people think George Christie is the ultimate snitch, but he's a pretty cool guy and does stand on principle. Now, the county has the highest number of people on probation per capita in the entire state, the Law Enforcement system is beyond corrupt, the primarily Mexican gangs have spread drugs all throughout places that were never associated with drugs, and homelessness, violence, and crime in general has been out of control.
