I not sure where to post this topic so I'll post it here. Feel free to move it.

Anyways, I've been noticing lately that gangs are becoming a big part of my community. Everywhere you go, there's territory claimed by gangs. I myself dont really think its a problem since the majority of my friends belong or ride with gangs, but if it gets outta control, its gonna be a great danger to the city. So far, the most popular gangs in my city are:

[Folk vs. People]

GD's [Gangsta Disciples]
ViceLords [VL's]
Latin Kings [LK]
2/6 Gangsta [Bunnies]

Are gangs a problem in your "hood" or city?

There are barely any around here, i live in a pretty good neighborhood so most of the time it's safe to walk afterschool or something to the shopping center and get food.

Yeah. Many of them. I don't know the exact gangs, but definitely a lot around here.

Hah. We've got MS13 members running all around our school. Yeap.

Holy shizt, that's a lot! I'm guessing San Gabriel Valley isn't such a safe place to live?

I live in the safe part of Queens, but when you get to Flushing/Elmhurst/Bayside-Auburndale, there's a lot of Asian gangs.. Jamaica and Astoria have a lot of gangs too..

There are A LOT of Asian gangs around here.

Jackson Brothers
Toy San Gangsters
We got some crips too.

Those first two gangs are like the biggest ones.

IM FROM DAT CENTRO CUZ 22 3 MA NIG

SK BK ALL DAY EVERY DAY

nope no gangs here in this small, suburb town.

We do get a lot of tourists though. That reminds me, when I was little, I thought "tourists" really meant for "terrorists" so I was always scared when we were referred as "tourists" whenever we went to a different country/state.

We have the MS 13's around here. I've seen a couple of their symbols/graffiti on our bridges around the city and they're getting bigger.

Gangs are good for my community. I need target practice.

i live in a pretty nice place, but there's enough jackasses running around to have gotten a few of my friends seriously hurt or killed. it's not all gang activity per say, but some of the personal grudges that some individuals hold against each other here are f**king ridiculous.

i mean, i've gone far enough to poison someone and take them out of regular activity for a couple days - big deal, it's temporary. but it makes me furious when i hear about the people i used to hang out with getting stalked or stuffed in trunks and bullshit.

i dunno, whatever.

I live in Noble Park.. (Melbourne, Aust)
If you're from Melbourne and hear the word Noble Park, the first thing that'll come to mind is gangs, followed by drugs, murder, theft. It's a pretty bad suburb to be honest..
Anyway back on topic, gangs around here CAN get pretty bad. I don't know any names or anything, but I've heard of a few pretty bad fights, and a stabbing at the local McDonalds a month or so ago. One guy died I think. :S

I live in the biggest hole-of-a-town in New Zealand. To be quite honest I don't see why anyone would want to live here, let alone set up gangs here. But recently we've been having problems with Mongrel Mob (red) and their rivals Black Power (blue) trying to takeover here and recruit members. Most of them are little 14yr old hoodrats that hang around the street corners like homeless idiots. We've already got two motorcyle gang in my town Road Knights and just out of town are their rivals Devils Henchmen. They're pretty quiet though don't really have problems with them. But in general gangs are up to f*ck all. Can't anyone stand on their own two feet these days?

Rep your hood to the nigga, I see you representing to the maximum.

I plan on joining the LB Dub Gang, they got the streets on lock right now.

I hate gangs, theyre the ones who make our schools (where i live) have the dress code, and the police at the school all day on watch.
ugh i hate it.
They're the cause for all the shit that happens in my town
=_=; So yeah, its a problem.
:| i hate it.
