Kind of a lowpoint in Gangland when seven badass perps can’t even commit one murder. Maybe they should consider a more viable pursuit in life.
I’m glad the gangs here are as tame as they are. But I do wonder how they’re received when they go to state prison among the gangs from la or san diego. Something like “ey where you from? what, you’re from Santa Barbara? why you all gangbanging, you live in paradise where that richington soap opera was filmed, what do you have to fight over, the high cost of rent? that starbucks don’t deliver? that once in a great while its not sunny and 70 degrees outside?”
Fresh canvas for future prison tattoos. Hello 805.
Their Mommie’s and Daddie’s must be so proud on what they have produced.
Sadly, they’ll be back out on the streets soon enough (after all, no blood no foul) and will further refine their craft.
The teen-aged urge to “belong” claims more victims. That community needs to develop some serious leaders who siphon off boys who aren’t already hard-core. It has to come from within and would be dangerous. The adult men who seduce and threaten these boys need foot soldiers to maintain their territories and produce income. They play for keeps.
They probably are proud. O.G’s. ( old time gangsters ) .
What an asinine comment being glad gangs are here. Obviously RYAN93195 has no idea what these bad people do as they creep around in the nightly shadows of our community. Time to do some research & get educated, but don’t get it from your favorite gang banger, 93105.
