Crime comes from ones own upbringing or decisions made by said individual. I was a gang member and served my whole youth 13 to 19 yrs old in c.y.a. in the end I had to man up and acknowledge it was all my doing. Gang members truly exist out of ignorance, laziness, and image. Facts. When I woke up I began working. Ten years later I'm a successful business owner, I still work on my hands and knees installing floors, not easy work. But I own a home and spend my life now enjoying my freedoms. America is great to those who work for it, not just a handout that handicaps you. Stop complaining, get to work and enjoy the fruits of your labor. God bless us all

I guarantee you if any of these gang members grew up in Beverly Hills instead of South Central they would've had a totally different life, it's all about what your surrounded by, it's not always the parents fault.

“We have a beautiful world but the people don’t have sense enough to live in it.”. There is some truth right there. That applies to every culture that has ever existed. It takes people so much time to improve and learn from our mistakes. Sometimes when i think about American History and some of the terrible things that have happened i. it I wonder how it is possible that people can make such egregious mistakes. Look at how many people have been treated so unfairly and have suffered. And every bit of it was unnecessary. None of it had to happen.

So sad Monster Kody died smoking meth and crack in a homeless camp. All that time destroying his life for a gang and in the end they were never there for him or his family. All that pseudo philosophy and lack of accountability led to a life of suffering and ended decomposed in a camp of vagrants. The one thing they never embraced was causality. All suffering originates in non virtue and all happiness comes from goodness. Foolish people always declare that what happens to them as a result of their own actions is someone else's fault.

Unfortunately virtue will not always avert suffering and goodness will not always guarantee happiness. We can only look to people in our own lives to see kind people with integrity who suffer. There are still greedy, predatory people who will try to exploit their kindness and misfortune doesn’t discriminate. The most rotten people I know are still around but I’ve lost good people time and time again. That doesn’t mean don’t be a good, accountable and upstanding person. Just remember life guarantees nothing.

@@gmoney313. I know overall some people were aware of the gang culture in the 80s. I live in Chicago so we’ve had a history of organized gang culture since the Capone days. What I’m saying is that up until the early 90s/late 80s MOST people in mainstream “regular “ America that didn’t live in big gang cities like Chicago and LA were totally unaware of gang culture until AFTER Hollywood made movies (ie, colors ) and gangsta rap got super popular. Then people were seeing specifically how LA gangs were wild and crazy because they had that Wild West mentality. Chicago gangs were more organized and were checked by the Mob if they got too wild or out of hand.
