gang members exist for the same reason the yakuza or camorra or russian or irish mafia exist...

when an "out" group is forced to create it's own dynamics for survival..

they form a very authoritative hierarchy that takes "masculine" human roles to the extreme:

provider - hustler - organized moneymaking
protector - enforcer - organized violence

end result is organized crime

Salvadorean immigrants fleeing civil war end up in the middle of a new country

and surrounded by that country's discrimination and gang problem...

over the years creates one of the most well known and vicious gangs

:yeshrug:

it's a societal issue that will take government and civilian effort to reverse...

Japan is just now getting to the point where they are breaking down Yakuza structure and influence...

and they been active for hundreds of years

:francis:

I know gangs in south central arent as organized as the bigger organized crime syndicates in the world...

but upper level members of those gangs hold a lot of influence and money making ability...

that is backed by the abundance of their foot soldier crash dummys
Racist whites ain't running up on random Black people in Cali and lynching. This ain't the 1960s. It's 2023. STOP FUKKING c00nING and making a paradise like environment unlivable for normal folks. How you walk out your house and first thing you see is palm trees and 1st thought is I'm gonna ride around and ask random dudes where they daddy from?? Where your mama from? Where your granny stay? While threatening them at the same time?! :what:

They simply need a reason to send police in, clean up and the city will gentrify a beautiful area many people want to live in.

Folks don't know what they got until they got to leave.

The crazy thing? I think police going to be less tolerant than the 90's if they swoop in. They know they can get away with shyt on camera now.

Responsible parents around the community need to keep those dumbass kids from ruining everything they built and OG's need to kick game if they know better.

Cointel pro and iran contra affected the west much more than you've been taught. Redlining was pushed harder in Cali than any other state in the US....

If you look at the history of a location, it will explain the current state. These things don't just randomly happen. Unless you think it's in people's DNA.

Look at gangs and organized crime in any culture and there is always a catalyst. What college did you goto?

Nobodies crime element has burnt out of anything

I can pull up one of my streaming services right now and watch all types of movies/shows glorifying Asian, Russian, Irish, Italian, and Hispanic gangs
So you're saying the Russian. Asian. Irish. And Italian (Italy based) communities have their gangs being propped up as a "style"?

Non gang affiliated members of that society have their gang culture seen as a commercially marketable aesthetic?

I'm pretty sure they shun them in their culture. I'm just going off the people I met. Russian mafia figures and their real life activities are not marketed as entertainment for the average Russian, their kids don't keep track of real life activities.

Additionally, read the comments. Embarrassing themselves and they don't even know it.

Right now they think they're being rewarded with clout but not realizing people are actually laughing at them.

People absolutely feel tight at the thought of being labeled "corny", so that might be a start to combat this.

Grown men acting like children over streets/property they don't even own.
That’s an old tired way of looking at it

They’re fighting over the ability to control the “black” market in their territories which happens to be an extremely valuable commodity

Basic economics, just not sanctioned by the dominant society
