What the media doesn't talk about: The Mexican and Black gangs that coexist and 'get along'.

Alex, how about doing something on the deuces and tray Crip sets on the Westside of Los Angeles (Mid Town, West L.A. and tha Far Westside). There's a lot of history that date back to the 1960s down here that many don't know about due to the many, many years of gentrification. You got SYC, PBG, GGC, MFGC, MGC, BYHC, GYC & VSLC (including the history of the Sho Lines in the Mar Vista Gardens). You've touched on Venice a little bit by attending a community meeting and a Hood Day, but we never see nothing in depth on the Westside neighborhoods. One of the first gang injunctions in L.A. was on the Westside and some of the first black and latino beefs in L.A. began on this Westside. Everything you've done is about Watts, Compton and South Central, and even Long Beach. Give us a little shine!

Lil James started the 118 ECBC before the Harlem became Crips. The Grandees is the first Crips in Compton which is now Nutty Blocc. In fact the Harlems, Hoovers and Swamps were independent gangs before they were Crips. So how are they Originals?

[@streetgangs]

+Al Snow Lil James did start 118 Street Crips, but that was about 1973. The Harlems are 1969, Hoovers were 1969 or 1970, and the Swamps started in the early 1960s. They are original because they formed before most others formed, infact the Harlems and the Swamps have "Original" in their gang name. If I did a top 15, I would have put 118th Street on that list but they are certainly not older that the Harlems or the Hoovers. Also they did not put "East Coast" on the 118 until about 1977 or 1978 as that came later.

Somebody before him was from Harlem and started the Harlem Godfathers, which turned into Harlem Crips, when they changed to Harlem Crips is when James Miller was the Leader. James was from East Los Angeles, his mother from Texas and father from Louisiana

A correction to one of your comments about Bret Harte Jr. HS (as it was known back in the 1970's) ALL the EARLY CRIPS did not attend Bret Harte. ONLY the ones that were W/S Crips. Even though I lived on 52nd & Avalon, I caught the bus to Bret Harte all through the 7th and halfway to the 8th Grade since I previous lived on 95th and Main. Many Eastside's used to go to Bret Harte or Thomas Edison Jr. Half that were also early Crips.

Nah it still is deadly in the bad neighborhoods of l.a. just because nobody talking about it doesn't mean the problem has gone away trust

[@imagesfromLA]

Gangs are still around in LA, it's just not as bad as it used to be. Gang violence peaked during the cocaine epidemic of the late 80s to early 90s. A lot of gang members were killed, a lot of them were incarcerated long term, and a lot of them decided things had gotten so bad it was time to move out of LA. I was in my early twenties during this time, and I saw a lot of guys my age die or go to jail. The neighborhood I grew up in was loaded with gangsters at one time. My mother still lives there so I'm over there a lot, and there are zero gangsters around now. Once in awhile I'll run into one of the gangsters from back in the day, and nine out of ten times they are messed up, either from too much drug and alcohol abuse or crippled from bullet injuries. Every so often the young guys will try and start up a gang, but so far they've never lasted. By the way, I grew up over in the 30s, between Western, King, Arlington, and Rodeo. If there are any gangsters still living in my neighborhood, they aren't doing any dirt. But like I said, there is still some gang activity in the city, just not as much as in the past.
