LA gang culture is mental illness and its only getting worse

[tuckgod]

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.

Yes absolutely

The yakuza propped up the japanese gov after ww2. they are very entrenched in their country


What exactly are american streets gangs providing at this point?

Bro, I'm talking about the catalyst for their creation and using that knowledge to break them back down...

I'm not trying to discuss the dynamics of their usefulness. Every cultures gang in California was created in almost the same conditions. Even the Asian gangs. This about understanding how they cane to be in order to formulate a solution.

There’s nothing like moving away from all the negative energy in certain parts of LA..

The worst part of this city as a regular 9-5 brother is your mental…

U go to work and have to deal with some ignorant cac or Mexican who might not like u, but u have to come back to your own hood and have to deal with these ignorant gang nikkas looking at you as a opp, holding up traffic ,blasting their music 1 and 2 o’clock in the morning and gun shots ringing out..

If u have the money and resources never live here and be better off in San Diego

Isn’t the gang problem statewide by now? Skyline Piru in SD.

Link me to the gang figures that have influence in their popular culture.

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



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



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

Cape Verdean gangs terrorizing Boston, Rhode Island, Luxembourg, Lisbon, Rotterdam, communities outside of Paris, and some parts of Switzerland are pretty much this.

Brehs weren’t accepted by various minority groups for one reason or another and organized.

We don't use logic here we just say everything is c00ning™ and keep it moving.

The problem with gangs especially in Cali, is that sometimes the WHOLE FAMILY "Bangs", or are "Banger Adjacent".
Mom, Dad, Brothers, Sisters, Uncles, Aunts, Cousins, EVEN sometimes Grandparents.

You can be "Gang Affiliated" without ever actually being in a gang, just by the neighborhood you grew up in, and (or) your FAMILY Members.

So a lot of these "retaliations" are more then just "Colors" and "Neighborhoods".

The person from your "Set" that got "Smoked", could easily be your Uncle, Cousin, Brother or even Parent.

You could also get "Pressed" just because the Neighborhood or street you grew up in/on.

I recommend you look up an old documentary called, "b*stards of the Party." Not all gangs were the result of poverty. That is something folks need to stop projecting.

Gang culture is an insult to black people but great news for real estate developers and investors.

Where the gangbanging cancer began, it only makes sense

Actually, gangbanging as you know has been around longer in Chicago than LA. LA gangs mainly became more popular due to rap.

Which gangs were not created through the catalyst I spoke of.?

Write a list. I'll compare it to the list of gangs that were. And we'll see which list is Substantially longer.

Gangs are an obstacle to advancement. They are born because of poverty but they also become a factor of poverty themselves. Look at how the South Italy is poor compared to the North. The South is taken hostage by the Mafia... If it wasn't for the Cartels, Mexico would be a more stable country, and hence a more prosperous and stable one.

They NEED to be broken. It implies an ALL out attack covering all angles, not only economic, but also social and cultural. Because after a certain amount of times, criminal syndicates become part of the culture . At that point, it will be harder to get rid of them.

Folks criticized the Filipino president for rewarding the killing of drug dealers (aka gangs). I don’t know the results of it but I’m sure they’re aware that they don’t run a thing.

Go to their internet circles and find them yourself, you're a goofy if you think they don't praise their criminals. ESPECIALLY ITALIANS.
Triads fund a lot of "legit" Chinese projects in the USA.
The Yakuza are gov't recognized. They are not shunned in any way.
The "Vor" have control of a high % of russian/ukrainian/etc businesses. They are not being shunned AT ALL.
Look these groups up, look up the heads (the ones you can see), and see how they're NOT being shunned.
"only black people" no.
