      I know some white kids are born in black areas and go school with them so they might pick up their way of talking and behaviour, but these idiots come from Arkansas, very sad they want to be seen as poor, deprived and oppressed, when mummy and daddy are very comfortable in life. They talking about straps and grenades but never a actual one on one fist fight. If some proper gang members pulled up these clowns would shit they diapers and run, they certainly wouldn't be bussing any guns back, embarrassing for their parents

    Denver had a similar issue starting in the late 80s, but our gang culture is actually a lot older than the spread of bloods and crips. My Grandpa was in a gang in East Denver Curtis Park area called the Eastside Boys in the 50s and 60s. There were Northside Warlords in North Denver, west side Inca Boyz (were very active in the 80s and 90s, can be traced back to the 70s or 60s), Lipan Boyz (which GKI stemmed from, and are still the biggest Chicano street gang and prison gang in Denver). It got really crazy in the 80s. 1993 was labeled 'Summer of Violence' because of the gang homicides, the five years leading up to 93 were probably worse.

    • @ABQSkywatcher

      Yeah there's always been gangs but at this time period it was pushed by mass media into the mainstream culture. Government behind it no question. I remember when Colors came out and almost overnight half our middle school was in a gang. It was a ghetto school and kids just needed that nudge😢

      Funny story about the '70s. My uncle pissed off a local gang and they chased him even through the house. My dad and the other brother were there, and their older brother came through the house, with a gang right behind him..from the front door and out the back.
      They better be glad that my grandfather wasn't home. He was a boxer and enforcer for some powerful people.

I know a lot of GKIs and others obviously that are either in Jail or no longer with us.... I also know a lot of retired people that have lead productive and successful lives.... point is it's what u take out of life lessons and how u apply them to ur future and how u can give back to the community..... I still have family and a lot of ties in the Eastside.... Fuller Park.... Curtis Park.... 5 points... and even in Park Hill..... I was born and raised in the area...... it's still home for me

I would love to see a where are they now kinda video and let’s hear about how the whole “my gang is my family “ worked out for them? Who ratted on who, how many are or where in prison,how many are dead. Gangs don’t give a fuck about you but to a teenager,early 20’s with a young impressionable mind it’s easy to fall for this bullshit. But I get it especially the kids that their parents abandoned them. Like the girl that got jumped in her mom left when she was a year old. She obviously doesn’t remember her mom and her dad left at teo which she probably doesn’t remember. I’m sure that she has abandonment issues and how can you blame her. The most important people to her,her parents,walked out on her. I’m sure that they had drug and/or alcohol issues and chose drugs over their kids. It unfortunately happens every day.
