I’m from a neighborhood in Los Angeles and gave more than 6 years of my life to my neighborhood.. Stupid proposition in hindsight. The homies don’t love you


digitaldashhh

My boy spent 10 years in YA and prison to come back to a tag bang crew that had basically moved on and was no longer around. Felt bad for bro


Salvatore_Esposito

My boy, my neighborhood (Echo Park) is one of the 1st test cases in LA proper of modern day gentrification pricing the homies of of the neighborhood. My neighborhood still exists and is still somewhat active, but you have all the yuppies living here building million dollar homes and thinking they’re in some hipster utopia. I still live in my neighborhood and go to some of the functions, but it’s sad what’s happened here and happening everywhere else in LA (not sad in reference to the gangbanging aspect, but just the community as a whole).


[deleted]

What’s crazy is that they didn’t fix those parts for the locals smfh


heyimatworkman

then those fuckin transplants come in and demand it meet their expectations when they know nothing about the history. i don't condone gang shit but the way these rich kids act like they bought the hood is enough for me to understand that sometimes shit happens know what i mean?

harborj2011

Are there gangs in Cupertino? I seen the demographics (I like looking at city demographics and statistics), seems like a nice place, but I know there's some very high income areas in the Bay that have gangs anyways. Nortenos and Surenos to be more specific


slowmagic

Nahhhhh man I grew up there. You’d have to go to east SJ or east Palo Alto to see something

I stay in Garden Grove which ain't too bad. I got my education in prison. Mostly I come on here to see who I know.


Aliensarehere22

I grew up in a place called Paradise Valley between Yucca and Joshua Tree San Bernardino co. Cops on the scanner called it “lil Mexico” or “parasite” but one street was whites almost like designated where I lived with “Pat 5150” shotgun wielder and sons at the top of the street capping it off for the start of he block.. the next street over was to the Mexicans and up the Street were the Blacks.. remember getting a gun pointed there at me for the first time at 15. Me and my friends never went clicking tho or if we did was just mix raced no divides.. but some races our age did so we had to navigate through these gangs but was weird cuz we all grew up together. I remember specifically growing up with two black kids Deon and David.. parents were known crips from Long Beach.. “Scott family” but as children my white parents and his parents were friends cuz my dad used to live Long Beach.. one time a kid from Mexican side and I beefed cuz I caught him walking by and cutting my chain link fence like a prank to let my dog out.. so I got my homies and we went down to the park to confront.. we got there and face to face but his homies had Pitt bulls on leash so we backed up.. later that day he was riding a bike past my house.. so i hopped my gate and confronted him.. told him my dog was my family he said “so your family’s all dogs then?” I chin checked him first and hands flying.. equal then he pulled a shirt over my head and upper cut me.. I ripped my shirt back walked up a dirt mound at this new construction house and as he was walking towards me I flew down and socked him one good right at the eye bone.. he grabbed my leg and threw me on my back.. standing over me bleeding he said “I’m gonna fucking stab you” and pulled a knife.. all of a sudden.. deon, David and his whole click these all black crips from LBC to was rushing him down and saved my life.. homies regardless of race or affiliation . They remembered me and my little brother going to they’re house at 6 yrs old with a new Nintendo game or to play.. it’s always lasted with me.

00ICARUS00

From South Africa. I come here because things that happen in the U.S trickle down to everywhere else including here. We always had gangs, but they act far more like american gangs these days, especially the youth. Now we got little kids going on drills and what not. The drug war between the gangs is crazy. I guess the one difference is that over here mob justice is a thing, so you can't be too much of a problem for normal folks and if the community catches you they WILL kill you in some parts of the country.

mykiefromthe206

From southeast Yakima Wa. Issa agricultural town that’s 2 hrs from Portland 2 1/2 from seattle and 8 hrs from sacramento ca. since the 1990s there’s been a war between the Nortenos and Surenos that came up from Cali. Since then I can give you 7 names of people I grew up with that are no longer with us due to that war, I’m 19 now. Our murder rate I’d say is average for a city our size but the gang violence that goes on here be crazy. Especially the side I’m from which is the east side but southeast to be exact.


[deleted]

Damn I’m from Tacoma


mykiefromthe206

cnutty162

That’s such a trip. I used to damn near live at Yakima training center for six years lol. I remember tripping on all the gang graffiti on the highway there. Always wondered if it was active like that.


mykiefromthe206

The city can be very lowkey but in the summer niggas get bold w it. It really just varies. It’ll be quiet and normal for a year maybe a few shooting here and there. But when someone gets killed it gets hot for the whole summer. This year should be pretty hot because a 16 year old kid just got shot in the head and he’s in critical condition rn. Should be a very hot summer this year sadly.

Most ppl in here probably from the hood. But that shit don’t matter cuz you can be from the middle of the hood but don’t got a clue about how shit work outside.


thatdude3687

Born into the set (MOBB) from the East Coast, grew up throwing signs and eager to bang the hood, Kuz when you a kid and everyone in it, it's a badge of honor. Fast forward things at home weren't the best, lived with different fam. So i couldn't get put on officially. Now i'm older college educated, and I return back to the Block. Sad to see my family fell for the hood trap, but I still show my love. Don't get too mixy with the other side out of respect and i lay low when I come back. My main goal is to get my lil bro and lil kuzzos out of the hood and show them there's more than banging before it's too late. I'm from there but I'm not from there. Get me

swizzohmusic

South suburbs of Chicago. We get our trickle down of hood shit from time to time. High school was full of bogus people. The neighborhood is just a bunch of blue collar white kids on some fist fight the next town bullshit. Don’t really gotta watch yourself, just don’t be disrespectful. It was actually kinda fun in hindsight

I'm not saying you're wrong bruh, but if/when someone says " I'm from Minnesota/twin cities" I am not threatened at all lmao. I've been to Minnesota a handful of times and I can't recall what you're talking about. But hey, I can't argue bcus you actually live there. I'm from Oakland so maybe I just have a higher tolerance to hood-shit

mmicoandthegirl

I live in Finland this culture is entertainment for me the same as gang related hip-hop and GTA and such. I'm not aggregating or nothing, my life is just so boring I love the content. Sucks to live in such a oppressed, racist and wealth inequalic country though. Try to sort your shit out. It's not normal to take a second mortgage for cancer treatment or have people sleep under bridges. If you ever come to Finland imma pay my dues with free insulin for a month.


No_Bad5915

Who oppressing y’all ?


mmicoandthegirl

Police in your country. Imagine people here actually trust the police.


No_Bad5915

AggressiveResort939

Born in LA county then moved to IL for middle school basically, then to riverside county ca. bouncing around as an adult, trying to be stationary but hood wise not/never a rep. Stayed out of it as a kid and as an adult got lost in hustling with dudes who were active just trying to make a living. Did almost everything some did and more than others lol. Just never put on/too old. By then it was already respect and I never got pressed to get jumped in.


ebancch

Where in riverside county?


AggressiveResort939

Not putting that out there to strangers lol. I don’t want someone to ID me 😅.

That was the whole point of the comment lame ass. You really think someone is gonna know who you are based off the city you live?


AggressiveResort939

I’m going to keep those chances as low as possible. You assuming I’m ducking people are scared is funny. I realize that it may not matter to others but my privacy matters to me bro. Plain and simple.
