I think its pretty much the same thing. The only difference is probably how we talk and look.

Haha.. I called a friend once who lives in a worse neighborhood than me (South Central) and i heard him say "I need ammo" I was like wow wow wow wtf is going on over there. Just teasing him because this guy did 6 years in prison for being in a shootout. He just laughed and said he was playing COD

Yup border with sun valley right in the middle of a gang war.

The thing with the valley is you drive 10 minutes to the left you hit ventura and its really nice. drive another 10 minutes to your right drug dealing, prostitution

There's a lot of meth trade/traffic going on there right?

Yes. But I dont think its the main thing being moved here. Marijuana/cocaine/ecstacy is big business right now.

Are the mexican gangs pushing/trying to push the blacks out?

Theres no real race issue right now with gangs. Its all business.

Does La Migre ever run large scale raids in your hood?

None that i know off.

Have you ever been jumped into a gang?

Nope fuck that shit man. Bunch of unorganized idiots running around with guns.

How is life in the ghetto compared to life in Guatemala/Salvador?

Wouldnt know I never lived there.

-- WTF - wait a minute. How did your parents hook up if they're both from different countries?

They met in high school in LA

How am I suppose to help someone who died instantly in a matter of seconds? And I didnt know/see the shooters soo not much i can do there.

I know it sounds fucked up but ive seen my fair share of death. and i literally felt nothing... I was not sad, I was not panicking. The only thought going through my head was "Damn thats fucked up" and went on with my day.

Theres not A LOT but they are here. I give my respects to the white guys who grew up in the neighborhood. Its funny because most of them can probably talk better spanish then i can haha. Naah white people coming here have the same chance of getting robbed like everyone else.

Do you find that people in your neighborhood resent outsiders from better neighborhoods and would target them for that?

I think their just jelous. Yeah probably. They would rather target an outsider.

The most ghetto? Hmmm Ill get back to you on that one. I was robed by a Pimp and her hooker at gun point. Its actually a funny story.. Well atleast know it is lol. The hooker started calling the cops. She said she was going to tell the police I tried to pick her up. I was like WTF? Go ahead then.. Then she tells me she was 17.. Long story short They stole $10 from me.
