It's not like the old school mafia in which those who leave are tracked down and ended. These local gangs don't have the resources nor the resolve to hunt former members down. It CAN be done but most don't want to do it until it's too late or they are too busy blaming others for where they are in their life. All it takes is hard work and saving your money to get out of the situation. I'm not saying it's easy but it's nowhere near impossible. From what I see, most of these kids WANT to live like this. They think it makes them something important. In reality, they're among some of the lowest life forms in society.

1963 “ I have a dream “ 1988 “ I had a dream “ 2024 “ I had a dream “ Death 💀 is not the worst thing that can happen to a person . It’s dying and going straight to Hell fire 🔥 for Eternity ! Constant pain , crying & torment … but wicked people never stop for one moment to think 🤔 about that.

Some people think it's cool to be stupid these days. Back then it wasn't like that for everyone. Some yes but not all. Some were just a product of the enviornment but didn't carry it the same as cats who think being stupid is being cool. You see that in all races though that's just a certain type I'd person. But not it's trendy, even if you aren't stupid ppl act it just to look cool but it's not at all.

@@squallie78 That doesn't "grab" me at all, whatever that bs means. Here's an example, people want legalized drugs, but how to you think they'll be monitored and controlled? By our government, that's how. It's time for us as a society to grow up just a little bit and take some responsibility for our own actions. Sadly, our society refuses to take blame for anything and everything under the sun that doesn't go their way. I'm older so hopefully I won't be here to see it but our society is headed straight for disaster if we continue this path. But hey, you do whatever it is that "grabs" you.

25:39 "Part Time Sucker" - BDP, that was my shit. 🔥🔥 '88. Man, I was 18. Had a little job and just got an 85 5.0. Sunday afternoon me and my boy hit the 110 to Slauson. Hit up the Slauson swap meet then on to Crenshaw. Bending corners all day. We somehow avoided all the real trouble that was going on during that time. No matter where we were we always knew when I was time to leave! I still remember the first time I heard somebody say "Wassup, cuz!". We were at an arcade. Two dudes walked up on two other dudes "Wassup cuz, (whoopty-woop)!" A lot of back and forth. Next thing you know somebody getting dumped. I had no idea what tf was going on. That was around '82-83. Gang-bangin' hadn't really hit my area yet. That was my introduction. Over the next few years it was crazy to watch the same brothas I went to elementary school with during the 70's, by the mid-80's those same dudes was mortal enemies because of the street they lived on. Wild.
