This was filmed in 1991 when LA was an urban warzone. Things have drastically improved since then. Here are the statistics for anyone wondering. Number of homicides in LA: 2017 City of LA: 290 LA County: 632 1991 City of LA: 1,025 LA County: 2,401
OP 37ST stupid 90s was the real deal guns blazing real banging probably the hardest decade of banging.80s they didn’t use much guns more drug slanging.

who wouldn't want to be in a gang if you're brought up in a environment where like 9 out of 10 people are at least affiliated with a gangs? that journalist look like he was brought up in a country club.
He's no Chris Blanchford thats for sure!! That dude has been covering LA/OC/IE hoods for over 2 decades easily now. Hes one of the OGs of "Fox Undercover" in LA. This dude was always a tool, always sounded out of bounds talking about street life.
Fucking pee wees have no idea who Tom Brokaw is! Smh. He was the ANCHOR AND EDITOR ON NBC NIGHTLY NEWS FOR 22 Yrs. In other words he was in the Big Show, The Major League, while Chris Blatchford was stuck in the MINORS! This Vato did many stories on gang wars in L.A. as well but he was a world news journalist. Chris Blatchford is cool but he was just a investigative reporter locally, although be it in the 2nd largest U.S.market which isn’t bad but, far from anchoring one of the big 3 networks like Brokaw!
Blacks and Hispanics gotta do what was done in the 60's when the Black Panther Party, Mexican Brown Berets, Puerto Rican Young Lords and American Indian movement came together to fight for change......
Bush Bush I didn't say that there was Latinos in the black panthers I said they built Alliances with their own organizations dickhead....... I said Mexican Brown Berets dumbass
mike burton you sound like a idiot.....white supremacists don't give a fuck about hispanics......the poorest people in this country are black, brown and Native American
Yeah thats what i said. To my self . at that moment shit im 31 . bitches be thinking IM 26 - 27 . I just agree . and fuck with them I only fuck with girls younger than me at least 5-6 years younger.. Exercise and a healthy diet with lots of vegetable is the recipe .and above all . a sharp mind .
My uncle was born in Mexico and moved to east LA at 13, he said, several times a week, someone was either shot dead on his doorstep, or in his neighborhood, he had to ride his bike to school and work, and was robbed weekly, and someone mistook him for a gang member one time riding to work and almost killed him… He’s now one of the most successful men I know.
Thank God I left California, I miss my childhood friends, but the gang life and the homeboys started to grasp my life away from my home family. On two occasions I almost lost my life to the streets , and on those two occasions the homies were there and they scattered like rats instead of lending a hand , I was left alone . Soon I realize that my life was not worth giving it up to a punch of cowards who leave one of there own stranded. My own family flesh and blood are more down to back me up the these so-called batos.
Things change, The question is did you change? I have friends who moved to idaho texas whatever but now they wish they can move back but things are to expensive, and they realized they were the biggest problem in there own lives not the environment
i miss the no texting and no computer bullshit that's all 😀 when u could talk to ppl not everyone was a computer internet online stuck up bitch 🏌😀u know like now days. back when u got in the chevy and cruise and nobody had a cellphone and was chopping it up with ppl as they cruised by the females. none of that fone distraction
This is my time period!!! VERY active!!! Respect hasn't been on that level ever since. You'd get popped for having your homeboy with a lazy eye, looking at someone funny!
6:35 Central and South Americans?? what? Mara Salvatrucha, from El Salvador was already well established in LA by this time(90s). The influx of south Americans into California was tiny by comparison. This dude is making it sound like LA gangs were filling their ranks with Brazilians, Argentines and Peruvians...or that new predominantly South American gangs were spawning...this is utter BS lol
That's crazy how Hispanics were killing each other. So sad for that generation.. I'm glad now generations have changed and my raza its seeking for a better life.. Do not fight for a neighborhood that y'all not even own. Come together and fight for a better education and hard work.
Yea, now you see a bunch of outsiders come in and take pictures in all the gang spots that came out in movies. It's just when people go to other countries and want to take pictures of all the famous spots.
Daniel Guarisco Yeah, however those were just the police described “gang murders” in the City of Los Angeles. The overall number of homicides was far higher that year(1991). 1,025 for the City of LA, and whopping 2,401 for the County of LA... Shit was a fuccing warzone bacc then.
GGC63 That was in 2016 not last year. And 700 killings ain’t shit to the 1,000+ killings LA was hitting yearly in the early 90s. And of course LA and NYC have calmed down. Both cities have implemented strong laws and law enforcement. On the other hand The Chi’s law is STILL SOFT af. Trust me I would know, I’m from LA but I have family in both the West and Southside of Chicago.
James Brown chi had alnost 1k murders 2. I lived in south chicago i kno it aint the wors per capital but i kno gary hella bad an it aint even past 100k i think
GGC63 Chicago has never hit 1,000 killings in its history. On the other hand the City of LA alone has hit OVER 1,000+ killings yearly MULTIPLE times before. And the County of LA has hit over 2,000+ killings. And even at its heyday Gary, IN homicide rate didn’t reach that of South Central LA.
There was ot of gangs when i was growing up in school everyone was from a gang or tagging. I think because everyone had friends who lived near them and the whole hood would hang out and back eachother up from bullies and other gangs. Eventually they would end up joining a gang. Now i see my nephews and all their friends live kind of far away and sometimes there hang online. Alot of kids these days just play online mainly. Not like old days
For those that dont understand, imagine the whole world against you. Imagine everything you do and say the world watching. Try going against the whole world by yourself. Pretty soon you will join the world and their agenda. Its tougher to get out than people think..
G. D. Did you? You used the word imagine (definition so well known it doesn't need to go in deep) to apply the statement you make to get inside the mind of these dumb fucks to let us (the people who reading it) try to comprehend the situation they are in. So again I'm ask you how TF is this a good example please teach me you clearly are not stupid and didn't just forget your own comment did you ROFl
I grew up in Santa Ana Ca man it was crazy you would see like 50 bangers hanging out at a park street deep cops wouldn’t tell them shit.Fools would fight and shake hangs after you couldn’t even wear raiders to school those were the days.
Despite how dangerous and deadly it was, I would have loved to have been around In the 90s in east LA. I know I know, my ass says that now cause I wasn't around back then but something about just how rich and deep the culture was back then. There was more to it then just gang wars there was a very big culture back then in east LA. The swamp meets, the food, the parties, the stores, the art. Something that is so lost these days.
I was born in this era 1991 and I lived in that Lopez maravilla zone, till this day that gang is still active though not as much... seeing cholos walk up and down the street was the norm for me as a lil kid i was afraid to look them in the eye. I now live in north Montebello and I still go to east L.A wich is nextdoor but even though its day and night difference from Montebello east L.A has calmed down dramatically to say the least.
Senseless endless violence nobody wins Life in jail or 6ft under. Sad so many generations lost in this lifestyle causing broken families and divided communities instead of growing as one and really fighting for something in the real society world and not seen as failures in society but real difference makers in society the real world R.I.P to all the talented youth that got lost in this endless cycle of violence.
Mexicans are warriors that blood runs thick . We got to get them in Boxing or MMA they got to be pushed or they dont find joy in Life.Cause they are warriors they Love the sacrifice.
Im from the east coast and have a question.... in L.A. when it was dangerous with gangs,,, how did you all go to the malls and movie theatres there , with the gangs ?? Were there shootouts in the mall when you all were shopping ? That is crazy. Also what if a person had a red car,,,, would the crips shoot them ?
You either go to a theater or mall in your hood or you could go deep if its in different territory. Recently there was a shootout between rivals in a bowling alley i think 3 or 4 people died that time. As for the color of the car it really depends on if you look banged out. Idk how to explain but in LA you could tell by how someone looks if they bang or not.
Maybe not like.l.a. but here in texas the whole 90s was a mess...Dallas for example. ..no mayateros in those days. .only Cortez shoes and Ben davis clothing....
gangsterpelon13 lmao you ain’t even from Cali! You lames took something that started over here n started banging some set you know nothing about! Fucking wanna be
The world is so uneven money is not well spread and the poor keep making wrong choices to meet end bills. That's the consequences of a financial segregated civilization.
My dad told me abt he almost got shot from a drive shootout so heres the story so when it was 5am he woke up and he forgot to give money to his dad and when he was walking there there was gun shot out of nowhere and ignore and when he arrived there was 4 blood gang members in the gas station and they told him to give him his wallet so he did and the other one was visiting his family and 2 crips almost shot him cause he was mexican but his skin color was black so thank god my dad is alive la was rough living there in the 80s and the 90s
If you don't own the property how can you claim it. Its just like living in public housing which is federal owned property. It is crazy so many young lives gone families torn apart and for what. Please young people no matter what race you are stop this senseless violence.
I know it’s crazy.. some even still complain about nobody helps them and how bad the “system” is, yet rely on the system for a pace to live and food on the table
Gangster: where you from homes? Me: Uh.. I was born in Long Beach, Ca and now live in South Los Angeles, Ca. Why? Gangster: Uh? Uh? What set you claim foo!!!??? Me: I usually do 5 sets of 10 reps Gangster: Dead
@@joemosely9383 Not true.He was a member of Lopez Maravilla in that video.They are NOT Surenos and in 1991 it was before the eMe edict on no talking on camera
@@joemosely9383 MV are NOT Surenos and none have the 13 and they were greenlighted for refusing to join the Surenos.they do join with the Sur in pison now,but not in county jail and not on the streets.He's from Lopez Maravilla which was never a Sureno gang and never will be.MV are their own thing.Just like Bulldogs aren't Nortenos.
His mama knows damn well he is in a gang his father was probably a member of a gang too it's sad but true it runs in families it's sad and it cuts deep i know a few kids at my school who have been shot, stabbed, and jumped.
Wow that news reporter walked over there varrio hit up. Thats says alot. The vatos from Lopez should have jacked or something's Ng worse.good report though
