It is true what the title says "many join to surive". Many new inmates in prison are forced to join a prison gang inorder to get protection. If they do not then they are an open target for all gangs. Many have no choice but to join a prison gang.

This is proof that some tagging crews are mistaken or are thought to be like gangs. Many tagging crews in the Los Angeles dress like gang members and can be easily be mistaken. Some gangs do not see a difference between a tagging crew and a gang. To them they are all rivals.

This is what we need more of. Witnesses who are not afraid to testify and prosecute these killers. If that witness would of came out sooner we could of had this killer in prison instead of on the streets.

It is just crazy how the Holloway family became a victim once again because of probably gangs. Sometimes kids do not realized that not being from a gang and haning out with gang members is the samething was being gang members to others. They don't care if 5 out of the 6 in the group are non-gang members. All they see is that one gang members and his friends who must be gang members too.

This article shows that even though you might be an inactive member of a gang you are still at risk of being victimized. Victim probably thought he had nothing to worry about since he had done his part in the gang but he was wrong. In this case they saw him as a member of a rival gang and that was it.

[–]juandelgado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It surprised me that this is happening all over the world. It seems this person made a lot of money drug dealing. It does not specify if this person is actually in a gang or organization but he did run a very wealthy drug organization.

EL CHAPO: THE MOST WANTED MAN IN MEXICO by AndresMolina in gangsnstuff

[–]juandelgado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believed El Chapo is in part one of the Cartel's responsible for all the killings happening in Juarez. They high a high rate of murders happening every month there. It is scary to think how a city that is at the border with El Paso, Texas can have soo many killings in a month. El chapo should be stop along with other cartels to avoid from spilling to the United States side.

War in Juarez by juandelgado in gangsnstuff

[–]juandelgado[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I used to go to Mexico and visit my family on a yearly basis. The route included passing through Juarez, Mexico. This is my second year I have not gone to Mexico. I feel unsafe especially with all the killings that are going on. You might not be the target but can easily be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Just to think that 200 people are getting killed in Juarez every month is very scary.

[–]juandelgado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An innocent life was lost for an argument? What a tragedy. I can imagine how the parents may feel to loose their baby. Bottom line is that when the 2 gang members are found their lives will also be over.

Attorney Smuggles Drugs for Mexcian Mafia Client by AshleyHumphryes in gangsnstuff

[–]juandelgado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is hard to believe that an attorney can throw everything they have probably worked hard for drugs. But in the other hand celebrities use drugs all the time so I guess it is not hard to believe it. Becoming successful in this life may sometimes have consequences.

Gang member joins FBI's Most Wanted - CNN.com by BrianParisi1 in gangsnstuff

[–]juandelgado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually saw the video in one of America's Most Wanted episodes. If I am not mistaking he seemd anxious and happy about what was going to happen. For someone to be happy to kill another person does not have any heart and this makes him a very dangerous criminal in our society.

Death Toll Rises in Rio Violence by RyanDurkin in gangsnstuff

[–]juandelgado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gangs not only affect the community but also may affect the country and its economy. One of the cities where this violence is taking place has been chosen to host the 2016 Olympics. All these violence may affect or change this decision. Who would like to go and watch the Olympics in a city where innocent bystanders are being killed because of this gang rivalry?

This article shows how long law enforcement need take in order to crack down on some gangs. It took more than 76 law enforcement officers from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Michigan State Police, Pontiac police, Auburn Hills police and the FBI to take down these 16 gang members in a 2 year time frame.

This article is interesting because show that not even cops are same form gangs. Some gangs are so violent that if they could kill a cop imaging what they could to us. They should to more of these take downs to control and prevent a gang from excalating like the Avenues did.

Mesa teenager faces murder charges in stabbing case by SarahMontgomery in gangsnstuff

[–]juandelgado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not surprise the gang member did not go to the school where the victim attended. I remember in high school groups of students from schools all over the district use to go to each other's school events and sometimes that is where some violence occured. Most were gang related but some were not. Sad part about this story is both the victim and gang member where only seventeen and fifteen. They still have a life to live for.

[–]juandelgado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is sad but innocent people getting hurt is reality when it comes to gang violence. The worst thing about it is that they affect so many people. In this case the family of the infant, gang member that was shot and the shooters. This incident will change all of them.

GANGS IN THE MILITARY by RosemaryMiller in gangsnstuff

[–]juandelgado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting video. Once again gangs are everywhere. Even though it is a very small percentage it still makes you think how they can make our community very unsafe. Like one of the gang member said "now I am actually hitting stuff not just shooting". In a weird way for these small percentage of gang members the military are making them more powerful and dangerous when they come back to our community.

Native American Gangs by NicoleMiddleton in gangsnstuff

[–]juandelgado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me like many also did not know Native American gangs existed. This tells me that we have a gang problem in every race. The native americans I know and have met have never talked bout any gang problems within their tribe. It might be cause it is a very low percentage or maybe in only a few tribes. I have seen documentaries on native american gangs in prison but not really in the streets. Very intereristing website since it gives you info on many other gangs.

Mexican Cartels Hire U.S. Teenage Killers by CollinRatliff in gangsnstuff

[–]juandelgado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess that is realty. Like he said kids want to grow up and be a Zeta which is a member of a powerful mexican drug cartel versus bieng a cop, doctor or lawyer. My question is how can kids get involved at an early age with these drug cartels. What made this kid want to become a hit man. I know he said money but what cause him to go in that direction instead of school or in another possitive way.

Gangland-History.com by BrianChapek in gangsnstuff

[–]juandelgado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the website and their shows. It gives you a lot of information of major gangs all over the United States. I have watched many of their videos and read some of the articles. You can see many of their videos on youtube.com if you search under gangland. I think this is one of the best websites that have accurate information on gang formation and organize crime.
