Re: San Diego
San Diego Used to have a lot of mixed race gangs. They are all "inactive" except for Linda Vista Crips.
Playboy Inc:
From East Side (City Heights). The Mexican members left and started East Side Playboys. Then East San Diego 13 shut down East Side Playboys. The Black members started East Dago Mob Crips.
Linda Vista Insane Family:
The Mexicans left and went inactive or got jumped into Linda Vista 13. The Black members started up Linda Vista Crips. The Asian members started up Tiny Oriental Crips.
South Side Mob:
From National City. The gang got green lighted in the pen. Mexicans in good standing left and started up National City Mob 13. The Black members all dropped out.
Four Corners of the World:
From South San Diego and Chula Vista. The gang got green lighted in the pen. Mexicans in good standing started up Iris Avenue. All the other races in it (Asian, Islander, Black, White) PC'ed up or dropped out.
South Side Syco Posse:
From South San Diego. Went inactive after most of the heavy hitters went to the pen.
Castle Park Mob:
From Chula Vista. Just dissolved. Don't really know why the went inactive.

Re: San Diego
I think it was mentioned on this site that South Los are or were established at some point in San Diego county. And there is a Tortilla Flats also but I’m not sure if they’re connected to Compton TF.

Re: San Diego
ENC Flats (AKA ENC Tortilla FLATS) is on the list above. No connection to CVT. "Tortilla Flats" was an old term that people used to refer to the Mexican Parts of a town. Encinitas Flats and South Side Encinitas were big gangs in the 70's and 80's when there was a lot of raza in the area. Both gangs are real small now. Increasing housing costs and gentrification pushed them out.triplethreat wrote:I think it was mentioned on this site that South Los are or were established at some point in San Diego county.

Rasta Lokos is a well known Otay clicka. Rasta Boys was a small stoner clicka from NC and PH and some moved to CV. It was said they rose from the ashes of NC Stoners. Came and gone quick. I said Mexican. But there were a couple of white boys in it also.
SSD13 died off about 15-20 years ago. They had (or have?) representation in the pen. Not in the calles as far as I know.
Don't know much about TK. They are new (at least new to me). I know they were (are?) beefing with Shelltown. Saw a lot of wallbanging from them two in the Town. Asked around and was told they are (were?) from Chula. (Makes sense "Telegraph Caynon")

Brandywine 13 never held real estate that far north. North of the Valle Lindo and Sequoia Street are nice condos/town homes. They were mainly in the apts (section 8?) south of Valle Lindo and the liquor store. They did hold real estate off of Oleander. Small hood (pocos pero locos).

Orale, I got VLO Rasta Locos and NC Rasta Boys confused, thanks for the correction.
Ey but SSD13 did not die off that long ago, they still had heads and tags all over down in the South Bay as recent as two-three years ago.
And as far as Brandywine, yeah they were always small in numbers and I gave them that whole area because there's no one else on that side of the 805. It looks big in the map, but it's actually a small area, drive thru in 2-3 mins.

Re: San Diego

How does that work?
Two old dogs have told me about the 32nd Luckies and that they were their own, not part of VLHTS.
There's a vato from 32 Tokers that works by where I work, and that vato told originally the Tokers were kick started by vatos from The Hub. If I ever run into him again, I'll press him for more.

Re: San Diego
32 Tokers has not been active for quite some time. Brandywine Locos. Haven't heard from that hood in quite some time. They did not occupy the area north of Sequoia ST. Small but have representation in the penitentiary. Are they active?
