Im just waiting for him to become the crocodile hunter of gangs and walk up on gang members like "Crocky, As you see here, We have a wild pack if crips hydrating themselves with a local liquid known as 40 oz"
Up until 20 or 25. Years ago you couldn't have walked those streets without getting jumped or at least robbed, now they even look like pleasent places and no gang members around pretty much at all. Times have changed a lot.
pensatoreseneca Nah not really its just this foo Alonzo got a big ass camera in day time.The homeboys keep it real long socks cortez white shirts its active Im in the streets all week in Los angeles to the valley I know
MrCowboys2288 same shit is happening in San Diego. All the gang members or retired ones are moving to Tijuana becuase rent is much cheaper which in retrospect leaves the turf inactive or the varrio "dead". You also have to consider that alot of Gs are moving to cheaper locations and those cheaper locations happen to be in enemy territory so they automatically have to stop banging or keep a low profile especially if you have no car. Higher rent prices are making all thr real ones move out the hood and just visit the hood every now and then until that every now and then turns into a couple times a year. Thats how varrios end up dead with nobody to put on the pewees anymore.
thats good. gangs are stupid anyways. nothing good came from gangs. you either die young and never do anything with your life, or you live a longer life, as a bum asking for change and trying to tell stories about how they refused to change for a street that will never be theirs. true story.

Good video man, looking forward to part two. It would be interesting to see a series of historical videos about specific locations, Like East LA, East side south central, Watts, pico union etc about both Black and Hispanic gangs. Peace
Amazing historical knowledge of gangs. I'm continually amazed at how honest and straightforward the videos and interviews are. Always asking the good questions but staying respectful. Keep it up, man.
My cousins are from El Hoyo Soto and El Hoyo Maravilla, as well as Pico Union. My family also has Roots in the oldest gangs in Phoenix Arizona as well. I appreciate your channel bro! O, and Judson Bacot is my neighbor and dear friend who turned me on to your channel, so I am relatively informed, but you keep it 100 on a wide range of gangs and communities, so I value what you do bro! And I love the piece you did at Big Bobs funeral (Rest In Peace)!

Nice video man. I have never been to the west coast but I am seriously interested in your culture. the music the lowriders and gangs are all things we don't have in Columbus Ohio. Very informative. Thanks Bro
Great job Brother. I'm from South Central born and raised 1953 - 1971. You pretty much summed it up. You did it right and with respect. Thank you for that.
I know this isn't that old, but you should make a video of the Stoners era in East LA. Maravillas and the LOTT are both very fascinating, I'm sure everyone will agree once they learn more about them.
Great video.The concrete in LA holds memories for decades.I took a picture of some tagging i randomly came across on Mateo st between 6th and Olympic. The tag: El Geronimo Mateo 5-17-62 I did some research.Mateo was a thriving Mexican immigrant community that existed in the south east corner of downtown up until 1962-63. Unfortunately, Mateo and it's gang had to make way for the 10 fwy.
I see reckless comments on here about the History of Hispanic Gangs. ..but who you running to when it comes to purchasing a brick? Or who you fear the most when you behind enemy lines? When it comes to this Gang Culture, every Color plays a huge part. Don't every forget that. That's the problem nowadays, cats wanna run around calming sets or repping a Flag but clueless to its origins. Pay Homage if you REALLY about that life. Peace Infinite
+streetgangs Alonso, Father Greg "G Dawg" Boyle wrote about the Aliso Project gangs. I think I'd be great to do a 10 or 20 minute video with him about the history of the Aliso Project gangs
Bro, this is the dopest up and close video ive seen from you so far.Even with out any actual gang members present in any of the neighborhoods.Excellent tour guide of each area.Couldnt of asked for a better visual other than physically being there.Wish we couldve seen some footage of the housing project they tore down and what the atmosphere of that extinct neighborhood was like on any given day.
Before Clanton was 14th St gang which ran from Clanton to Mateo's neighborhood and the Neighborhood Settlement's neighborhood aswell. The Chief of Police in the 1940's stated he was from a gang in Boyle Heights and fought against the 14th Street gang and Dogtown gang amongst others in 1910. Clanton put under their wing many groups /gangs in Lafayette Jr. High(used to be 14th St Elementary ) in the 1930's . As that vato was standing in the original barrio he pointed to a placaso from pre '45 with the name Ralph ~C~ (the C had the pachuco cross) but if you notice there was no 14th St next to it right? That's because it was implemented after the City changed it (Clanton Street )14th Place . After 1945 you start seeing C14. We've traced Clanton back to 1922 can't find no one older than 88 years old many have passed away. The Original Gang were we get our name from goes back to the 1880's to Tombstone Arizona their family bought land were Clanton Street was and was named after them. Dogtown name was giving to that area back in the 1890's by the people working the railway and it was noted that a gang from Dogtown raided Schuetzen Park were Hebrews (Jewish people) were attending in 1904. White Fence started as they claim 1939 ,in the 1920's Mexicans worked there it wasn't until the late 1920's until Raza moved in the area. Hoyo Mara wasn't the Oldest from the Maravilla's. These are my oldest list : Sonora town Alpine St. La Macy St. Dogtown Chavez Ravine (3 barrios ) Clanton Temple Belvedere All 6 Camps Hayes ,Hicks ,Flores ,Wiggins, etc. La Mission There are several defunct barrios I'm not going to mention cause it'll be here forever lol but look at it like this many of the oldest barrios surrounded the Plazita a core center for Raza.
jose h Wasn't dealing with defunct neighborhoods like Macy & Alpine. If HMV is not oldest in East LA / Maravillas, which neighborhood is? What's you oldest list for active current street gangs in LA? Alpine, Macy, Belvedere (?), Sonora been gone.
Southside Colton aka Royal Gentlemen started in 1880 colton/aguamansa was the biggest Mexican settlement between LA and Santa Fe back in those days so the IE had gangs around the same time LA had the first gangs 💪🏻 So Cal shit
The gentrification is so disturbing to look at. It’s upsetting to see the housing vanish the way that it did. What’s more upsetting is the fact that they pushed everyone that lived there, out.
You left out a few very old school Varrio s from LA! "Varrio Sonora Town" "Varrio Palo Verde" "Varrio Lomas" "Varrio Alpine" "Varrio Bishops" "Varrio La Loma" "Varrio Buena Vista" "Varrio Bunker Hill" "The Cornfield" "Varrio Macy Street"
@@roadking3958 Cause that's before the Blood battles so they used Varrio to disrespect the B kind of like Bloods when they say "Bomton" to disrespect the C.
One thing I find amazing is our Chicano culture created a slang only Chicano’s under stand . It goes back over a hundred years . The newer generation are changing to sound just like the black slang . We shouldn’t being using the N word we say “ESE” that’s ours take pride in that .

Yes i met a young homie from sfv clan when i was locked in ventura cnty.....and also in crc i knew a homie from 67th and west blvd clique where the rollin 60s are
Coming from Texas I can see a lot of similarities in the gangs from both here and Cali. A lot of people from LA move to here in Dallas and vice versa. I'm not affiliated but grew up in a "not so nice" area to know. Respect to the Mexicans holding it down over there in Cali though! I love visiting over there.
I really enjoyed this video. I was born and raised in East L.A... Huntington Park, Pico Rivera, Whittier, and Boyle Heights all of those were part of my childhood and of coarse not safe at all. Sirens go off more than a thousand times everyday. I'm no gang member and I'm glad I never was.
You should have included the Santa Monica 13 Gang, they are still active and can be dated back to the early 1920s... They're older then some of the gangs you had on here.
Bottom line people is we aren't Latino,Chicano,Mexican,Mexican american Indian,apache Navajo or any of the above we are all North Americans Canada,U.S and Mexico are all in the North American continent so that makes anyone born in any of the three mentioned above a North American.
for real..he should do 818 gangs from glendale with toonerville & west side locos & burbank with elmwood street gang & WS plays boys goin thru sun valley to pacas & SAN FER..so many hoods with history..
Alonzo, great video/documentary way to represent the history of the Los Angeles gang culture. You are a inspiration for many sociology/social work students that come from the gang culture, please keep doing what you do!
Not only is this cat a genius historian but he’s got major heart going right into the heart of hoods where anyone from that gang can walk up in a bad mood and hit him up. Ultimately they would probably give him a pass and appreciate the knowledge and the exposure of their hood in Hollywood lights. Wouldnt surprise me if any of them gave him a reasonable time limit to be totally out of there Neighborhood which is how some East LA hoods are.
Mexicans just feeling themselves being the majority in California now..I'm Asian grew up in Ktown used to hang out with everybody .. most dudes black or Mexican or whoever if show respect you'll get respect.. all that shit between blacks and Mexicans is over drug turf and started in the late 90s..
Not Hispanic!! Please get it right... Back in the day it was all Mexican Gangs! There were no Central America or South America Gangs. It was all Chicano Varrios!
Big Dogg he was from Guatemala he said the most of the people in the neighborhood didn’t mind but some people were bothered that he wasn’t chicano but since he put in work for the gang they didn’t mind
West Side chicano gangs seemed to always be in the newspapers during the pachuco times. Probably cause they were closer to downtown and richer neighborhoods
My neighborhood Is In NorthEast LA TVR we been around Check Us Up Prolly One Of The First 10.I Could Be Wrong Though.Awesome Video Brotha Will continue To Follow
TVR is definitely one of the older hoods in LA. Much respect. I have a question for you, your hood used to go at it with Pinoy Real right? Do you remember when PR started to die out? Im guessing shortly before the 2010s.
i am a puro filipino me estilo mexicano TEMPLE STREET TRECETEMPLEROS SUREÑOS ECE I AM FILIPINO AND IM PROUD TO BE A TST13 TS'UPPINOYLOCOSANDMANILABOYLOCOS
@@jt6761 a real Temple St member named Baby Boy from LA got deported and came back to Manila and set up Temple St click there. So at least that click has a real LA OG. Other LA Temple St members got deported too and set up clicks in other areas. So its about the same as MS13 and 18 st in El Salvador. Theyre still considered Surenos too right?
No the oldest gangs in L.A were Asians mainly Chinese, the Tongs were already operating in Los Angeles during the 1860s, before Hispanic or black gangs existed.
@@kcirdnehiakada8195if thats what u base it off ….. then no asians didn’t start shhhh nor did blacks , it would be Mexicans and it wasn’t even gangs …. Y’all just stupid
I think its active (gangs) as in right now is what he means.Alot of defunct gangs and i think he specified mexican hispanic gangs. Jesus why everybody gotta be first
+streetgangs +Alex Alonso I really enjoy your educational work, but I think it's important for accuracy to clarify that the black & white pic shown during the WF segment (at 5:49) is that of Henry Leyvas and other 38th St members while serving time in SQ for their roll in the Sleepy Lagoon case, not WF. Keep up the good work!
Tortilla Flats is older than Cuatro Flats tho we were before Primera too some of them even said it on comments and Midget Loko from ES.PF was one of them he said his grandpa was TF but so what its nothing but a FLATS LIFE i even heard White Fence came put the hood too
thank you for some history of the oldest gangs in los Angeles but you don't have it exactly ..because the first structure and building built in los Angeles is in fact the San Gabriel mission The heart of the San Gabriel valley also San Gabriel is one of the oldest cities with a gang . the Sangra gang is a well known still active and and has been since my father who is 86 years old says you shouldn't leave out his varrio Sangra The real VSGR I have many of pictures from the 50s. and 60s and70 s of clicks and photos of jackets graffiti from the Sangra clicks of generations the reagents,,the jesters ,,,the nite owls,, the chicos, the cyclones, ,,the wall boy's,, the malitos,, and now it's the sickos. 6 generations of clicks from probably the oldest gang in the SGV and are surenos with shot callers in the sur 13 from San Quinton and pelican bay -from Sangra and you left them out My question is why if you need to get any more info,pics,or ? get back to me I'll be glad to share thanks
I have also news paper story's of more like Sangra is probably the first documented drive by shooting war between Sangra and lomas gang 16 year old David alcon aka puppet killed in drive by shooting by marcilno from lomas gang in 1971 drive by shooting before it was always rumbles say my father it's documented in books like always running and in news articles so why are these gang not first on your list my uncle silent from white fence who IS 79 years old asked the same and everyone who is over 75 years old knows of the Sangra gang why don't you ..you're video is great and I thank you for sharing but it needs to be updated or to make another one there's a lot of homies from the SGV who agree Thank you
shout out sangra but they don’t have as big as a reputation as Monte Flores or puente and I’m from Boyle heights just would stay in Whittier and other SGV cities growing up. I know the beef between Lomas and sangra is pretty old probably as old as white fence and vne or Lincoln heights and clover.
The Bouncy Castle Ese's are the oldest actually. It was formed at a carnival in East L.A. by a dude form Guadalajara Mexico , This dude was called "Ghost Train" cus he operated the Ghost Train and the other founder ran the Bouncy Castle. A lot of the original Bouncy Castle Ese's lived in caravans on the carnival site. The Bouncy Castles do a lot of debt collecting for MS 13 today.
Fes Actlan alumni here, but in Chicano slang its Varrios(hood). In Mexico, they use the B more than the V. Even Vicente Guerrero used the B more than V.

Chavez Ravine (3 barrios )
Clanton
Temple
Belvedere
All 6 Camps Hayes ,Hicks ,Flores ,Wiggins, etc.

Very well done. Great to see in depth reporting on these gangas today in 2015.
Great video Alonso! Really informative. Keep it up!!
One thing I find amazing is our Chicano culture created a slang only Chicano’s under stand . It goes back over a hundred years . The newer generation are changing to sound just like the black slang . We shouldn’t being using the N word we say “ESE” that’s ours take pride in that .
FYI.. MY BARRIO CLANTON ST WHICH LATER BECOME CLANTON 14 STREET AFTER WW2 DUE TO THE NOTORIOUS REPUTION THE BARRIO HAD. IM FROM CLANTON 14 STREET 4TH HOOD IN NORTH HOLLYWOOD. WHICH WAS CREATED BY THE CUATES CUATE AND SANTOS FROM THE 2ND HOOD IN 1974 AT NORTH HOLLYWOOD HS. WE ARE STILL HOLDING OUR OWN IN THE SFVALLE FOR THE PAST45 YEARS.. WE STARTED IN 1921 IN SOUTH CENTRAL LOS ANGELES. ALMOST 100 YEARS LATER AND WE ARE STILL HOLDING OUR OWN AND NOW HAVE CHAPTERS IN SAN JOSE CA. MICHIGAN WISCONSIN AND MEXICO CITY TEXCOCO. CHIHUAHA. CLANTON 14ST.59ST LOCOS. ALOT OF THE HOMEBOYS BECAME LIFERS FOR TCB ( ANY PINTA THAT U GO U WILL RUN INTO C14ST MEMBERS WALKING THE MAIN LINE ) BUT THEN WE ALSO HAVE WELL RESPECTED HOMEBOYS THAT TOOK CARE OF LONG BUSINESS AND LATER BECAME POLICE OFFICERS.

this guy is firme!!hes on point...
Benito Chavez not really
Good work. I would love to see more videos like this
. Kudos
This segment was dope. Id like to see more like this. Good work.
Coming from Texas I can see a lot of similarities in the gangs from both here and Cali. A lot of people from LA move to here in Dallas and vice versa. I'm not affiliated but grew up in a "not so nice" area to know. Respect to the Mexicans holding it down over there in Cali though! I love visiting over there.
I’d be scared as shit if i were the one making the video
Thanks for the history. Unfortunately, nothing to be proud of some people never escaped the life style.
Dope video man! Really well done
Nice series! Good work Brutha!
I really enjoyed this video. I was born and raised in East L.A... Huntington Park, Pico Rivera, Whittier, and Boyle Heights all of those were part of my childhood and of coarse not safe at all. Sirens go off more than a thousand times everyday. I'm no gang member and I'm glad I never was.
Can't wait til u drop 10 oldest blood hoods this month
You should have included the Santa Monica 13 Gang, they are still active and can be dated back to the early 1920s... They're older then some of the gangs you had on here.
If you like the video, LIKE, SHARE and SUBSCRIBE #streetgangs
Thanks for bringing the History!
Bottom line people is we aren't Latino,Chicano,Mexican,Mexican american Indian,apache Navajo or any of the above we are all North Americans Canada,U.S and Mexico are all in the North American continent so that makes anyone born in any of the three mentioned above a North American.
Albert Chavez nah I’m puro mexicano
You should look into valley gangs like CANOGA PARK ALABAMA st or BARRIO VAN NUYS! these gangs been around since the 30's. And Also Varrio SAN FER
For real
for real..he should do 818 gangs from glendale with toonerville & west side locos & burbank with elmwood street gang & WS plays boys goin thru sun valley to pacas & SAN FER..so many hoods with history..

Good point.
Ain't 38st in South los Angeles not East los
@@sixfourlokzta8564 east side 38st
They have rules you can be black and in the hood but someone gonna ha e to give you a pass
They came out in the 1930’s, i think.
Alonzo, great video/documentary way to represent the history of the Los Angeles gang culture. You are a inspiration for many sociology/social work students that come from the gang culture, please keep doing what you do!
nik boudreaux thanks for your words, truly appreciated
Well done and informative. Thanks.
This guy has the greatest ghetto pass I've ever seen! He can literally go ANYWHERE!
thanks for watching
@@streetgangs No problem! Your content is amazing!
Do more on Chicanos this was interesting...
Dam this is so crazy I knew some of these gangs but not the actual history behind it lol born and raised in Boyle heights❤️
Cutie.
Not only is this cat a genius historian but he’s got major heart going right into the heart of hoods where anyone from that gang can walk up in a bad mood and hit him up. Ultimately they would probably give him a pass and appreciate the knowledge and the exposure of their hood in Hollywood lights. Wouldnt surprise me if any of them gave him a reasonable time limit to be totally out of there Neighborhood which is how some East LA hoods are.
Mexicans just feeling themselves being the majority in California now..I'm Asian grew up in Ktown used to hang out with everybody .. most dudes black or Mexican or whoever if show respect you'll get respect.. all that shit between blacks and Mexicans is over drug turf and started in the late 90s..
+Maria Guerrero Who are these super mexicans homie??
Maria Guerrero sur 13 are pussy cats that pay taxes to the mexican mafia.real gangsters dont pay taxes. bloods and crips will never pay taxes lol

@@challengergang6681 you mean 204 St lol
Not Hispanic!! Please get it right... Back in the day it was all Mexican Gangs! There were no Central America or South America Gangs. It was all Chicano Varrios!
Big Dogg some of them were Hispanic bro my dad was part of white fence back in the 80s and he was Hispanic
Pedro Gonzalez from what part of central of South America?
Big Dogg he was from Guatemala he said the most of the people in the neighborhood didn’t mind but some people were bothered that he wasn’t chicano but since he put in work for the gang they didn’t mind
Pedro Gonzalez orale thats firme bro. Take care 👍
Pedro Gonzalez my cousin was from there DANNYBOY
Firme! Respects
That was disrespectful for tagging the art
Love the sidewalk forensics. The old photos are rad ! history! great touch.
Enjoyed the video very interesting
wow...70% of l.a. looks like wild west
Shogun Rua it is the wild wild west u ever heard only the strong survive well in LA even die
it’s old school here still ngl
West Side chicano gangs seemed to always be in the newspapers during the pachuco times. Probably cause they were closer to downtown and richer neighborhoods
samwell tayrlor i know you comment this 2yrs ago and although i didn’t live them days i saw a documentary about them days look up the zoot suit riot
No one should fucck with the sotels
Lmfao jcat
Me and my homeboys used to run all of that area...ESE..ORALE!!😎😎
Ayyyyyeeee posted on that 1st and Sunol all day! I live here it's not a bad area unless your involved in the gang activity
Good stuff Alex!
Alonzo speaks very good Spanish you can tell
Are these street gangs still active? I'm trying to join one
stay at Disney Land.
I prefer sidewalk gangs.
streetgangs Can you do oldest Mexican gang's in San Diego. I believe LHRS. ( Logan Heights Red Steps ) is the oldest, with Encanto Vels next.
CHOP LMAO
Look up they’re Facebook and fill out the application, lol
lol i attended and graduated from rosemont elementary, those Rs have always been getting crossed out lol.
My neighborhood Is In NorthEast LA TVR we been around Check Us Up Prolly One Of The First 10.I Could Be Wrong Though.Awesome Video Brotha Will continue To Follow
TVR is definitely one of the older hoods in LA. Much respect. I have a question for you, your hood used to go at it with Pinoy Real right? Do you remember when PR started to die out? Im guessing shortly before the 2010s.

@@jt6761 a real Temple St member named Baby Boy from LA got deported and came back to Manila and set up Temple St click there. So at least that click has a real LA OG. Other LA Temple St members got deported too and set up clicks in other areas. So its about the same as MS13 and 18 st in El Salvador. Theyre still considered Surenos too right?

DOGTOWN RIVA IS THE OLDEST HISPANIC GANG IN LA THEY ESTABLISHED IN 1895 THAT'S INSANE AND THEY STILL ACTIVE
No the oldest gangs in L.A were Asians mainly Chinese, the Tongs were already operating in Los Angeles during the 1860s, before Hispanic or black gangs existed.
@@kcirdnehiakada8195did you not read when he wrote oldest hisp gang???
@@kcirdnehiakada8195if thats what u base it off ….. then no asians didn’t start shhhh nor did blacks , it would be Mexicans and it wasn’t even gangs …. Y’all just stupid
I think its active (gangs) as in right now is what he means.Alot of defunct gangs and i think he specified mexican hispanic gangs. Jesus why everybody gotta be first
@@kcirdnehiakada8195the Ching and Chong’s wasn’t operating Mexican bandidos predate them all.
+streetgangs +Alex Alonso I really enjoy your educational work, but I think it's important for accuracy to clarify that the black & white pic shown during the WF segment (at 5:49) is that of Henry Leyvas and other 38th St members while serving time in SQ for their roll in the Sleepy Lagoon case, not WF. Keep up the good work!
+Malo 13 NO, that pic has nothing to do with Henry "Hank" Leyvas and 38th street.
Great mini doc , your good at this you should think of going on history channel full on documentary 🤔
1:46 it didn't say "rori" it says "rob 1"
gotta do asian gangs next, not in LA i guess since there's not a big presence, but maybe LA county?
TheAz1atic Hopefully we see TRG
TheAz1atic Asian gangs aren't really territory we about our paper bruh

You forgot 4xFlats & Hazard
Chris Vargas Cuarto Flats and Big Hazard? How did we forget them?
***** Yup, you also forgot Dogtown and 38ST some of the oldest from what I know.
Tortilla Flats is older than Cuatro Flats tho we were before Primera too some of them even said it on comments and Midget Loko from ES.PF was one of them he said his grandpa was TF but so what its nothing but a FLATS LIFE i even heard White Fence came put the hood too
Cedar Tamarind How you figure that?
Cus TFlats was in boyle heights on 4st and when the fwy split them and they relocated Cuatro Flats was made
Very professional bro, keep it up.
Interesting videos brotha! Subscribing for sure.

+DonArmando Robles *Boricua
thank you for some history of the oldest gangs in los Angeles but you don't have it exactly ..because the first structure and building built in los Angeles is in fact the San Gabriel mission
The heart of the San Gabriel valley also San Gabriel is one of the oldest cities with a gang . the Sangra gang is a well known still active and and has been since my father who is 86 years old says you shouldn't leave out his varrio Sangra The real VSGR I have many of pictures from the 50s. and 60s and70 s of clicks and photos of jackets graffiti from the Sangra clicks of generations the reagents,,the jesters ,,,the nite owls,, the chicos, the cyclones, ,,the wall boy's,, the malitos,, and now it's the sickos.
6 generations of clicks from probably the oldest gang in the SGV and are surenos with shot callers in the sur 13 from San Quinton and pelican bay -from Sangra
and you left them out
My question is why
if you need to get any more info,pics,or ? get back to me I'll be glad to share thanks
I have also news paper story's of more like Sangra is probably the first documented drive by shooting war between
Sangra and lomas gang
16 year old David alcon aka puppet
killed in drive by shooting by marcilno from lomas gang in 1971 drive by shooting
before it was always rumbles say my father it's documented in books like always running and in news articles
so why are these gang not first on your list my uncle silent from white fence who IS 79 years old asked the same and everyone who is over 75 years old knows of the Sangra gang why don't you ..you're video is great and I thank you for sharing but it needs to be updated or to make another one there's a lot of homies from the SGV who agree
Thank you
You should put together your own documentary on RUclips. I'd love to see all those photos. My dad was born in 1933 and grew up in Lincoln heights.
shout out sangra but they don’t have as big as a reputation as Monte Flores or puente and I’m from Boyle heights just would stay in Whittier and other SGV cities growing up. I know the beef between Lomas and sangra is pretty old probably as old as white fence and vne or Lincoln heights and clover.
Serious research man stay up brother
Say Mexican bro not Hispanic the mexican mestizos started the Chicano gangs
I think he said Hispanic because there are Salvadoran gangs. So, stating Mexican would be inappropriate.
antonio gutierrez jr Foreal. There’s a difference between Mexicans and the rest of Hispanic countries
pauly shore Nigga What 😂😂😂 Aint No Fucking Difference We All The Same, All Of Latin America Is 1
it don’t matter, our history is all the same. We’re really all native americans who have been fucked over by the europeans
@@ripplayboicactus9279 Being Mexican is a nationality. They're not all Native Americans most of them are mestizo's.
The Bouncy Castle Ese's are the oldest actually. It was formed at a carnival in East L.A. by a dude form Guadalajara Mexico , This dude was called "Ghost Train" cus he operated the Ghost Train and the other founder ran the Bouncy Castle. A lot of the original Bouncy Castle Ese's lived in caravans on the carnival site. The Bouncy Castles do a lot of debt collecting for MS 13 today.
Is "Barrios" no Varrios

It is now slanged as varrios. It's ignorance but it's slang. Lol
PumasCUNAM Varrio is a Barrio with a gang
Fes Actlan alumni here, but in Chicano slang its Varrios(hood). In Mexico, they use the B more than the V. Even Vicente Guerrero used the B more than V.
I THOUGHT WHITE FENCE WAS THE OLDEST GANG IN LA.THATS THEIR BRAG.
They are!
It's is this vato no sabe
38st started this shit
WF Was The First Gang To Use Guns But Not The Oldest
