looks liek a cycle....same kinda migrationhappened in the 80's. They were heavy in Tacoma and made it as far as South Seattle...died way down in the midto late 90's. I thought gangs on the whole had died down all across the country, but maybe theyre making a comeback?
 
Most of these kids I know involved in these shootings arent from Cali, they were born and raised here and most of the peers above them are from here too

I dont think it's another migration of Cali heads like it was decades back

Possibly offspring of the previous gang influx? I mean, it's not a crazy theory.

I remember a teacher in middle school who lived in the CD and said she heard gun shots almost every night for awhile in the early '90s.

Its hard for me to feel sorry for someone who wants to act hard and post gang related stuff on myspace, and then gets shot by a rival gang. Now he wanna actlike he was a innocent victim. If your gonna play with fire your gonna get burned, however he was only 21 and i dont think he deserved it. Whatever happened toa good fight or jumping? its just funny all these kids wanna be tough until one of them loses a life or something, maybe gangs really arent that cool

I agree.
 
I agree too, I was just posting the article and kind of a first reaction.

The violence is never going to stop as long as people are keeping their mouths shut. If you want it to end, nobody is going to help except those willing tohelp themselves. Cops can't do anything, politicians can't do anything, community leaders can't do anything.

I remember when I first got out here in 04 it was so quiet.total 180 from Chicago.But the last year or so it has been getting a little bit crazy out here.

From my view I dont understand the gang problems,I dont see large amounts of drugs being sold outside of weed and I barely see anybody living hard compared towhere I am from of course.So are these kids bored?or are they moving in from somewhere else?
