Re: ENGLAND STREET GANG ACTIVITY
I understand there are copy cat teens playing at crips and bloods, but thats it really. There are a number of nasty gangs in London but fake crips and bloods aren't among them. In Hackney, the nasty crews remain groups like London Fields, Holly Street and the likes. But the olders aren't visible for...

Re: the wire
Just to say, the actor Idris Alba, the guy who plays Stringer Bell is born and bred from my neighbourhood in the East End of London, the borough of Hackney. Took him time to get the Baltimore accent apparently.

Re: ENGLAND STREET GANG ACTIVITY
One post in a few years! Like this - London's crime rate is far lower now than 10 years ago - in Hackney 10 years ago there were muggings like there was no tomorrow, it wan't a safe place to live. Now it's relatively safe for most people - like the rest of London....another truth is that though crim...

I'm hearing different tales from different places, but here in London, many Somalian youths are struggling, parents having come out of Somalia in meltdown, or come out of Somalia falling apart themselves - as a Brit poster said above, Somalian youths are getting heavily involved in London's emerging...

I wouldn't call yardies pussy, hell no! But they have never been streetgangs - called yardies because they are from the yard back home, that simple, men from Jamaica who are into crime, not a gang! There is no gang called yardies. Yardies is JUST a term to describe Jamaican criminals, usually hustli...

Shiiiiiit! Now that takes 'self harming' to a different fuccccin level! Fuccccin horrible! My guess would be self harm for the top though, even stripes or whatever - using physical pain to overide/block/numb emotional pain. A way of managing emotional pain. Those people need go talk to a good profes...

I understand that, because to many Americans, they will assume that gangs equal black or brown peeps, but glasgow's gangs are made up of the youth who live thier, white youths.

Nope, yardies never did that kind of damage. Though yardies had a fearsome reputation, their main aim was drugs supply and distribution, so anything kicking off would be between competing drugs crews, so in that way it was limited to particular groups - that and more recently, bosses from back in Ja...
