@@curleybessard7037 You have to make it to 18 in your neighborhood and school before you can join the military. Banging isn't so much of a "choice" in the way outsiders view it while looking in. Just imagine being born in a family where all your family bangs, your parents, grandparents banged, cousins, brothers, sisters, etc. Then you have to walk to school with everyone asking where you're from and trying you, or you have to share a school bus and go to school in these neighborhoods. No one cares that you're just a kid just trying to go to school and go home. The only people that had your back through all this is the gang in your neighborhood. The odds of you joining is greater than the odds of you surviving without joining a gang. And there actually are members in the military.

People don't understand that LA gang banging is completely unique and different and arised from a specific element and timing/ econnomic circumstances and government corruption. Gangs in LA got out of hand in the late 70's by design in margenalized middle class and poor black and brown communities. LA is gridded specifically in a way and policed in a way to where gangs were able to thrive. Gangs are rooted in passion tradition, territory and revenge not money or economics per say. Just simply being born on a certain street in a certain neighborhood meant you were from a gang by default if enforcers from other neighborhoods came through. I know that exists in ways in other cities but in LA the rise of this cult like lifestyle was too quick and too ignored by the law and gov. for too long (purposefully with the agenda to expand and develop the privitized prison system). People have great grandparents that were in these gangs and it is really like a family affiliation. It's something people outside of Los Angeles would find hard to grasp or understand

[@SirisKing]

Well said you are 100% right. People in other states just can’t understand

[@curson_ave1015]

This has been the most destructive force in the Black community. We have to stop blaming everyone else and look in the mirror. Gangs have killed more Black men than anyone else. And why do we never hear of all the innocent young Black men who lived in these communities that were harassed or killed by these gang members? The gangs were/have been the biggest threat to innocent Black men rather than the Police.

[@shenanitims4006]

It’s not just LA. I remember teaching in the early aughts, and talking with other teachers about how the US needs trade schools. We had plenty of students who weren’t stupid, but likely wouldn’t want to continue for four more years. (Or have the cash to.) Look how much a plumber makes. Your car mechanic. Or air conditioner tech. All important jobs, but they don’t need a degree in Literature.

[@cavalierliberty6838]

Lemme ask you something. What really can a degree in literature do for you more than just make you an English teacher? A lot of college and universities are just dog and pony shows.

The thing that hit me the most is the brother saying why he joined.... to not continue to be victimized. Now imagine how many other of our black and brown brothers and sisters joined for the exact same reason, just to not get victimized. I understand those falling prey to that life due to wanting to belong, messed up background, etc. Ok let them figure out out or let em fall. But the ones who felt they had to just to not be a victim but still ended up being a victim should be able to live life without being victimized just because of the area they reside in our whatever ridiculous reasons.

"When you're in a group and someone says they're from a different neighborhood, that's how it started." It really starts just because your parents chose the wrong location to live.

Oakland and San Francisco are the only major cities that ain't let Bloods or Crips set up shop back in the 80's. I grew up hearing stories about them getting shot at and ran outta town 😂

I love the Mexican , Asian and Italian gang guys that come on here and tell their story. They talk about their gangs structure , their history and teachings, values and morals. And then there’s this guy 😂 and I remember the other interview with a crip guy who became a cop, but still was an active crip while on the force , and they fired him , and he was trying to play the victim !! 😂😂 It’s just funny

[@RabbitWatchShop]

Italians have organized mafias. Mexican cartels are the same. A.A street gangs are disorganized wannabes. Some of these nations started off as civil rights protections groups, and later dissolved into unorganized, fragmented street gangs.
