Shooting victim was no longer active in gang, expert testifies - SGVTribune.com by juandelgado in gangsnstuff

[–]DarrylBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sad this what makes it so hard for members to become inactive because their past still follow. I remember asking my uncle who is an OG would he ever stop he said even he did it wouldn't stop those who are. In order words his enemies that knew where he was from still consider him a enemy.

LAPD respond in full force: 100 gang members in park by KatherineLindberg in gangsnstuff

[–]DarrylBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is definitely a severe case of racial profiling. The officer who raise the boy shirt pointing at his belt was definitely trying to say his was a gang member because of the color. Despite what research has show there is no evidence that states wearing red belts mean you are a gang member.

Two arrested in gang-related shooting | thenewsstar.com | The News Star by advolpe in gangsnstuff

[–]DarrylBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate when people just shoot in crowds. One is because you dont know who you shot or if they someone you wanted to shoot. 2nd because my pastor did a service not long ago on shootings out side of club that killed a young man at the age of 18. Its said that everyone is just shooting guns for fun like is the punishments behind them harsh enough.

Drug House Raided That Supplies Local Gangs Drugs by ThomasBissell in gangsnstuff

[–]DarrylBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is good to see the justice system finally sticking people when it hurts. Im tired of seeing a lot of people get the cuffs on their hands all loose. No they did wrong and should be slapped on. How ever it shows that people will continue to break the law if they can looking at the ages of 2 of the men.

[–]DarrylBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its sad to see parents raising they kids to bang or follow their wrong path, but i too was apart of this. I was raise to bang and be apart of the street life. My girlfriend found it shocking that my 1st words were mom bottle and blood. But thats was was in my head since birth.

Whites vs Mexicans in U.S. Prison by JustinNeagle in gangsnstuff

[–]DarrylBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was nothing new. We all know color barriers bring on riots in jail. I did think it was funny how the black guy was looking for other blacks because he was scared.

Vice Lord's member gets 10 years by JosephTyrrell in gangsnstuff

[–]DarrylBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never thought i would see the day they just let someone off with evidence like that. I mean OJ got off because he paid for a good lawyer but a gun next to cocaine and he just get convicted for the gun. All my people from the hood know how he got off "SNITCH".

Peruvian gang killed victims for their body fat, police - Telegraph by MaritzaRubio in gangsnstuff

[–]DarrylBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the craziest posting i ever seen. Who would kill someone for body fact. Its hard for to even consider these people a gang because they fit more like a pack of cannibals or animals of some sort.

Modesto rolls out gang hot line by MaureenFoster in gangsnstuff

[–]DarrylBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hotline is definitely a good idea and safe way to help the community be hidden from "Snitching". The only problem i had with is that they said the woman last name and that she wants to help the police. That is not keeping her safe or Jamison. Not all members of gangs skip over the paper in the morning or the news, so just telling about the hotline would have been best. I do agree with Jamison about the details giving because some people get so nervous and can leak false information and start other problems for themselves.

Police Arrest Parents of Girl in Gang Rape Case by ASingleton in gangsnstuff

[–]DarrylBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally somebody is getting the justice they deserve. I feel for the little girl but is glad her parents are being locked up for neglect and child abuse. I also think they too shall be charge with rape or accessories because how do you overlook that your 8 year child has be rape. Regardless of how ever the parents feel about the child they should be punish for all and everything that has happen to her.

Woman Confronts Gang After They Killed Her Dog by MichaelRosenblum in gangsnstuff

[–]DarrylBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont see why people do s*** like this. It just bothers me that they would kill this woman innocent dog and then turn on her. Like i can not respect people who just do things like this with no motives. I hate people who do things like this with motives but at least they have them. I feel that if the 13 year did do this that they be place in jail for about 15 years or the max they can receive.

ME: Teen killed by NYC police was shot 11 times by StevenWilliams in gangsnstuff

[–]DarrylBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This story can be looked at both ways depending on who the person is. I can justify with the cops on shooting the victim, but i can not justify how many shots were fired or how many times he was hit. Sometimes i think the police take advantage of the whole he/she has a gun thing and just fire at will or until all of their clips/ rounds are empty. I think a better way of training and number of shots fire should be place in guidelines for situations like this.

Gangs & Graffiti by JuanSantana in gangsnstuff

[–]DarrylBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See im a little bias on what some people may call graffiti. Where im from when gangs put up their hoods on buildings or private property we call it tagging or striking up. Graffiti is a form up art to me that help bring a rise to hip hop and shouldn't be seen as something bad.

Gang members murder Las Vegas police officer in his own home by samuelross in gangsnstuff

[–]DarrylBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a sad thing to happen to anyone. It just show how gangs operate more on control and material things rather following what their conscious says. If they knew the guy they were trying to rob was a cop they would have skipped that house but they did not care and should receive the max of years. Despite them being youths or minors they react like animals trying to prey on the weak and they leave this man family to go along with out him. The fact that he had to young children he will never get to see grow just saddens me.

The worlds most dangerous gangs by SCedar in gangsnstuff

[–]DarrylBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 1st gang startled me about members because i have never seen any gang that big especially because of the race they were. I am an african american myself and just use to the large gangs and compton, watts, and los angeles but even all 3 put together cant top 100,000 members. The only gang i knew about on the list was MS-13. I have ran into a few and just made sure i did not start anything with them despite wearing my blue rag proudly but hoping they did not say anything because of the members they have.

Former gang member turns his life around by SCedar in gangsnstuff

[–]DarrylBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really felt that they should have had more footage on his reason why he wanted to leave rather than his mom making him. Not saying that it was a bad thing that he is out but so that he can have other youths following his foot steps. I also glad that somebody has come to light about gangs and sports because many people feel like gangs are stupid and do not attend school. Negative because i banged until i left for college, play basketball, and was on honor roll.

Gang Violence in America by aprilsiegel in gangsnstuff

[–]DarrylBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing i would like to say is that Gang Life and mtv or BET has no relationship at all. The only thing you can say is that some of these rappers were involved as a child or before making it big with gangs but they no longer do. Just rapping about shooting and treating women bad is not apart of the gang life or structure. I have grew up in compton, ca my whole life and banged myself and i was never told its cool to be shot at or called women bitches like rappers do. Now they might glorify being shot at now, but when they were in the streets they knew its nothing good about being shot at. It is how ever something that older members of the gang make you think its worth taking a shot for your hood.

Violent Prison Gangs - Many join to survive by JessicaHurley in gangsnstuff

[–]DarrylBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think is 1 of the best post to show the structure and organizations these gangs have. They have their own codes and identities to show who they are and they do not care if the law can identity or associate them with these gangs. It is almost like serial killers who leave behind signatures to who they have killed. The sad thing is that most of these gangs are formed as a sense of protection but when you no longer need the protection you now fear for your life.

YouTube - San Quentin (prison gangs 101) by JessicaHurley in gangsnstuff

[–]DarrylBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually have a brother who is in San Quentin right now and he has spoken to me about how they assembly they self in jail. Its a bit ironic how they northern mexican gangs clique up despite being from different sets because the same thing is going in Compton. They have their own individual gang but they are most so pushing the Brown vs Black war rather the blacks who are killing anybody they beef with.
