In a way I wish they were gone. But in a way, they really don't bother me.

gangs are bad.. and i know theres a lot in the ghett0 nearby

nope, not really. but my friend's boyfriend claims hes in a gang. stupid 14 yr old boys trying to act like punk a** b****es .. they call themselves the 'LIL CRIPS' lmao. thats the funniest thing i've ever heard of. but thats somewhere in conneticut. i live in ny soo thankgoshness.

right now in my neighborhood, I dont think there is any. I know that there are over 35 gangs here in Kansas City. I thought it was kind of cool because I usually think nothing goes on here

Kinda surprising for Kansas. Here in Chicago, there are around 50 gangs.

not kansas, missouri :-p bigg diffance...

Oh, lol, my bad

We've got IMPs around my area, but they aren't too bad. You see taggings around the city and sometimes at school [though they paint over that as soon as they it], but violence wise, you don't hear very much about it. I see them at school in their group, but other than that, I don't really see them outside.

Not in the direct town in live in, but in a neighboring city, Salinas, there's gang violence/killings and shootings at least weekly. Not too long ago there was a shooting in the mall, I think 1 killed and 2~3 injured.

i live in richmond,ca.
go figure.

Im from san diego in southern california, theirs a sh*t load of gang violence, but im in the SURENo 13, probobly the biggest one in southern cali. there are alot of gangs all over cali, but here in San Diego theres mostly stupid little krews, and alot of sets, personally, i find nothing wrong with gangs.

Ehh....A few gangs here and there. A few i've heard of is UCV(Union City Vietnamese), X4 or Norte(some Mexican gang), and ABT(All brothers Together).


Edit: I would also like to add FAG(Fremont Afghan Gang)

X4/NORTE are nortenos, those are a gang that claim north california, SURENO 13 and NOERTENOS 14 are rivals, and when they go to prison the SURENOS "graduate" to the MEXIXAN MAFIA (AKA EME, MM) and nortenos Graduate To THE NUESTRA FAMILiA which means our family in spanish

Buncha gangs all OVER.

we have
HAY - Hyphy ass youngstas
SHS - Souf hayward Savages
HB - Hellboyz
Hollow Block

or some of the most known in my city. But my area and the Bay area is littered with indivudual gangs and Crips Bloods Surs and Nortes. Everybody thought i was a Sur or a Crip because i stay wearing Navy blue , a blue belt and my belt buckle is an old english C.

I was raised around gangs.

No there aren't any gangs in my area, thank god!

Um well in Harlem , where I used to live.

Bloods , Crips , Latin Kings , Low/Lifes.

LMAO at DDP , Dominicans Dont Play.

I may be Dominican and live in the country , but good lord that name is hilarious.

I know there are some gangs, but I don't know the names.

the only one i know of is BC (big circle)... for reasons I would rather not disclose.

so frickin pointless and annoying

Um people who heard of the city I live in woudn't think that there are gangs. sSnce it's the suburbs. But we still have our gangs too. A gang called XIV tagged my neighborhood a while back. Then there's also the Mexican Norte gang. A lot of people from my school come from Oakland/Richmond so there's also: Hyphy Boys, TOTT Boys, Frontline, S.O.S. (sock on site), F.W.I. (yeah silly names I know.)

that's the initials for my firstname hahah.

no, we don't have any gang problems.

^ taipei seems peaceful enough.....


we have allot but whats bugging is the CHINESE MAFIA SOCIETY in china town manila. They keep bugging half chinese lads to join their stupidity and moroness.

In my community everyone about everyone is well respected we don't get people mad often. There is no gang where I live, so its not a problem. Well i guess it was a gang, this one time where someone broke the window of my school, and it was claimed as a gang attack.

Big problem in North London, load's of gang's, stabbings etc

I know a few people in them, They're alright people once you get to know them lol

I just rememberd some more

Decoto Kids
Wild Skuad
Poly Crew
West Block
South Hayward Block

gangs = ughhh.
geez. there is one. but i don't know their names. stop the gangs!

im a gangster, you guys should fear me :D

i dont know any gangs in Texas, but i used to live Cali and well, we know the gangs there now dont we?

Its not tht big here...
All of the mexican gangs in our school got kicked out or caught or w/e


Im friends with a few crips at school but nothing that serious.

Theres a few gangs in my area. Its gotten worse over the years. Lots of stabbings and shootings. No matter where you go, your not safe

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're from the Chicago area, right? I am also, however, I'm from Naperville and Naperville is the kind of place where if you said there was a gang there, people would laugh in your face. FYI, Naperville was voted the #1 place to raise your kids by Newsweek a few years ago (#3 this year, I think). I have heard of the GDs, though but not from people that live in Naperville.

Lots of gang problems, it's really bad here in Toronto.. I just know the names and acknowledge the ones that have affected me.

[CP] - Don't know what it stands for, everybody just calls them CP. But currently they are accused of being responsible for a friend of a friend's death..
[GW] G-Way - My 'brother' [not biologically] is involved with this gang, and its become a pretty big part of my life trying to get him to stop with all this gang activity ..
[DG] The Dawes Gang - on 'Dawes Road'; a lot of my friend's siblings are in there..
[PC] Parmacourt Crew - lives in a certain apartment called Parmacourt building, known as 'Paki Palace'; a bunch of pakistanian people.

i know about a gajillion zillion , katrillion types of gangs based on territory , race or livelihood in the NY area ...but i dont go on that route . usually the Metro is what keeps more brothers out of gangs nowadays ....thank you new york.

Eh? Nope. Not in my community, anyway. My city is what we call a "rich white people" community. I didn't mean that in any racist way, btw.

not really. i think i only know of one "gang" but they dont really do anything but mess with people that are in their 20's.

not in our city .. i live in a jewish community so its pretty peaceful here.

yeah mainly crips, top flite, and part of g-unit that runs in nashville (think of young buck)

houstons prone to violence..but not really gang-related violence.

though we do have our bloods and crips.

Remembered yet another ,

LT - Lord Tennyson [ Apartment ] all the kids who live there rep that .

NORTE gang.

Varrio GardenLand X4 REPRESENT

we got the bloodz the cripz. SACRA 916 PURO NORTE.

There are a lot of gangs in Chicago.I live in Georgia though. However there are some in Downtown GA.

There are two major gangs in San Jose, bloods and crips, red and blue.

So I've had uniform since 5th grade.

what she said ...except i only knwo the groups in elmhurst Queens . .....and others like MS 13 in Coram Long Island . Bloodz in Smithtown . Bloodz in West Hempstead ....alotta fake wigger gangs in eastern long island which i find pretty stupid ....TBS in Hollis Hills ....there were some Desi Gangs i knew about when i was younger and chilled .... ....but i don`t really care anymore ....its just another waste of valuable time , ...then have a grudge on territorial groups and whine and complain about life . its the mentality ...and alot of people gotta change that .. Gangs are usless theres no point ...how will it affect society & America ? And , how can other countries look upon us ?? it just degrades the country even more . Just be good and go to school ,work hard , and have faith .... then your views would be recognized . nuff said .

hmm, not that i know of.

Down in Frisco sure there's gangs, but then its basically alot of people who roll deep, territory etc. you got HP alongside 3rd street, projects, drug dealing the works etc. down where I use to live you got the fellas with the bootleg sht. Stolen Items, and low lifes. You walk in these areas fitted and geared up,or walking with your iPod for sure your gonna get jumped.

Down in Mission, you got some crypts down there, bloods, again territory wise but with the mexicans, latins, hispanic. well its diversified.

Rik was a fag.

Oh yeah gangs,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orgy

I've only heard of the Bloods and Crips in my area.

too damn many to think of..could care less anyways

It's a problem that I'm taking care of.

eh their not a problem here, most people could really care less.

I didn't know they had communities like that still. Anywho.. I don't think there are gangs around here. I mean, yes, there are drive-bys in the city and whatnot, but I don't think they're gang-related. Oh, and I don't know why this was closed - no one posted as to why it should be or why it was.

Topic re-opened.
