StreetGangs.Com forum on gangs around the world

Don't let them be able to read you Act confident Never show fear Never back down Never act nervous Make them think you're packing Don't let them surround you Slowly move into public view Try to be as much in the open as possible Make the interaction as short as you can Once you're kind of away, run....

Latin Kings have always been a political group, its always been about PR pride standing up for a free Puerto Rico, Latin Kings have always been freedom fighters.

They got arrested simply for being there....the pigs always get paranoid on Puerto Rican Day....

I wouldn't go as far as to say that humans have a gang mentality in general. Sure, we have the need to belong, to be with others, to be in a group which acts as a support system, a safety net. But this is not necessarily a gang...we're animals, primates, and as such we aren't solitary animals, its i...

I support banning guns. The fact is that the US is way behind other industrial nations when it comes to social aspects. In general, I support a more humane system like that in the social democratic states in Europe... Banning guns won't solve every problem, far from it...there will still be guns out...

government cheese nachos, government macaroni and cheese, ha ha...but seriously, that brings back memories

I don't know, its not like I dislike them on purpose....or even in general. It has more to do with this inherrent conflict that always seems to be there. I'm fair skinned....100% Spanish descent, I have a small accent... and I get looked at like I'm some kind of criminal by many WASPs....when people...

--Agreed, but to add to that, there are some people that are addicted to the chaotic lifestyle. Some people do have other options but choose not to take them, because they like the gansta lifestyle and the ghetto stardom that comes with it. There are people like that, but I think they are in the min...

Common Sense wrote: That's correct, but not having basic skills will make your issue's even worse.

Of course...but a lack of skills is not the end of the world realistically, unfortunately there are more than enough unskilled jobs available out there.....

But in order for riots to work, there has to be discipline and perseverence. To a point. Organized protest carry much greater weight. MLK was the master of that. If it were not for his organized protest the social change in the south would not have spear headed into major civil rights movements. ML...

-How do you figure that? Every day gangbangin' is one step closer to felony strikes not to mention the possibility of being killed. The ripple effect on the family is another issue that last a lifetime. Everyone is a product of their environment. Its the hood thats violent because of the cycle of po...

f-ck the mexicans in general. the lil punks got beans for brains.

for me its not a phobia, I just don't like them.

Violence is not the problem, the problem is a lack of organized violence. Properly organized riots can lead to social change just like in any other nation in the world. But in order for riots to work, there has to be discipline and perseverence.

I think the real issue is the social situations which give kids the idea that they can't make it any other way, the factors which give them such a sense of desperation, this is what needs to be addressed. At risk kids aren't about crime or criminal inclinations, they're victims of society who see no...

I grew up with everyone becoming a Latin King, it was just something that you knew you'd do one day. It was a right of passage we all took, and we knew that we had to have that support system in order to survive the streets....you really couldn't do it alone and stay in one piece. Plus, it was the w...

When you're going through it no, its not a waste of time. Its a necessity at the time. When you're out of it, it can seem like a waste, like time was wasted....but I don't think it is. You do what you can given the conditions and knowledge available to you at the time.

Highschool isn't a waste of time. But it can seem like it when you have so much else going on in your life. If you're worrying more about making it to and from hs without getting jumped, or you go coz its the only place where you feel somewhat safe....safer than on the streets, or you're worrying ab...

A race as such is a biological definition.....it has to do with hair structure, bone structure, the amount of melanin in your skin....etc. Nationality simply means the nation you are born in, and the nation whose culture and ways of life you rock.... Its not really complicated.... Now, in a country ...

Because African Americans continue to be the victims of a racist society. Slavery may have ended, but the cultural foundations it was founded on continue to be the basis of the nation.....African Americans have never received a fair chance at raising their people up from slavery.... Physical bondage...

I rock their jeans

Walking home from school, and having 2 cars pull up to you and having some guy from your English class that just didn't like the way you looked at him pull a gun on you.
