      What do you expect? Them to beat her to a bloody pulp?? The whole point is to show your loyalty to the group. Makes no sense to want to harm someone who is trying to prove loyalty to the group. Its more of a symbolic initiation ritual. For the guys tho, theres no holding back. She is a white 100lb female. If any one actually hurt her they would be ostracized.

  • @QuirkyTJones

    And I want to know whatever happened to that white man who was really going into the hoods and talking to the gangs in their language. He seemed like one of the few people that actually cared about the black kids when no one else did. He was their angel and didn’t even know it. One of the most poignant moments was when he made a deal with one the blood leaders to talk to his friend who was in a rival gang. And it’s crazy that when this doc popped back into my mind that particular gang member is who I remembered the most. He was the light skinned one with the braids and both of his brothers were in the gang too but one killed himself. They didn’t know if it was intentional or accidental and depending on which family member you asked they had a theory of why. I hope that those 2 remaining brothers are still living.

If there were more men like this in the world to try and help his fellow man regardless of race, color, or creed and actually trying to relate and learn the slang, and gang politics , this world would be so different. You could tell young Blood was hearin him and if you could change just one or have one man or woman listen, it starts to catch, positivity is like negativity. If you feed them they will grow.

    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.

      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.

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.

    I’m 45 years old and I grew up in Phoenix Arizona. I have lived all over the world from 1997-2006 because I was lucky enough to have a career where I could travel the world and make money. I have seen a lot of different cultures and how people live all around the world. For the most part people are all the same. We as men want to provide and protect our families. One thing that has always tripped me out about Crips and Blood sets in other cities besides Los Angeles. They are fighting over territory that doesn’t even belong to them. Some Rich usually white people own it. A vast majority of these people claiming a Crip or Blood set have never even been to California but they claim it like it’s Mecca for the Muslins. I have always found that strange. Also with all this gang culture being out on social media and the internet why haven’t any of these gangs capitalized on the situation and made some money from it? I definitely would off.

    I truly hope these gang bangers repent and seek Jesus. They are tough here. But they will spend eternity regretting their poor decisions
