Well, I live in a small town, and it is filled with gangs. Last year the police made about 2000 arrests that were gang-related, and 23 gang members were killed in the past 2 years. I've never actually come face to face with a gang, and I hope not to, but I was wondering if anyone has this problem where they live. Note: I don't really live in gang territory, I live in the nicer part of the city, but from the area of my school on, you do NOT want to flash the Westside sign in the air.
woa!that freaks me out,here in my school you can do whatever you want but i know that in some schools they can kick your ass. in your school,had there been any accidents?or near your house had they've done a "drive by"?
Well, in my school, there haven't been any gang related accidents, but I think the atmosphere of it is getting to the students. Just last week, a kid was expelled for coming up behind a teacher, grabbing her, and holding the blade of a pair of scissors to her throat. And, a couple weeks ago, a couple kids were expelled for setting off firecrackers in the quad area. As for my neighborhood, I live in a pretty much brand new area, so there's no problems, but last week a man was shot to death in the neighborhood I used to live in. My city can be scary in certain places.
It worse in my skool ... two big gangs ... alway trying to kick the shit out of each other ... its gotten pretty bad ... it even came upto the point where they were stickin knives in each others faces ... Everyone at my skool jus tries to keep out of the way ... I should know ... got caught up in the crossfire once and got my arse kicked badly ... I was stomped on , kicked at ... not a pleasant experiance ...
There's two gangs on my street. One at the end of the block, and one at the other end. I try not to go outside at night.
I have a friend with that problem. I also forgot, when I was in second grade, a couple of kids got a hold of their parents' guns and started shooting at the school. And, at my current school, there's a shitload of bullet holes in the windows near the front of the school by the street.
well i live in vegas, so basically, like every metropolitan (sp?) area, we have a lot of gang. my school especially, its new so there are 3 other major schools whose kids came to this one school. of course that means all the different gangs come together at this one school. there are a lot of fights. i think my school has had the most fights so far, and there are the most police cars before and after school here than any other school in the county.
my high school was in the Mexican ghetto. so there were a bunch of gangs. although, i really didnt have any problems w/ them. im not the type of person that gets other ppl mad at them. so they had no reason for trouble w/ me. i tell other ppl of the city where i went to school and they are like: "damn! did you ever get shot?" this year (my bro goes there now, not me) there were three fights everyday. and by the end of the first month, 1/3 of the student body had been suspended. it was pretty bad.... but i never got hurt or anything. and i wasnt afraid of them. in fact, i knew some gang members.
That's gotta suck. At my end of the city there's no gangs at all. Well atleast any that I know of. Downtown, there might be a few but I'm rarely ever downtown so I wouldn't know.
well over here in good old england we don't really have that much of "gang" culture. but i guess there sort of is in my town. the 'chavs' all kick the crap out of the death-metallers,emo,grungers,skaters,goths etc. unfortuanatly im emo so that sucks... there's so many chavs unless you're in a group of you , you get the crap kicked out of you. i've been in quite a few scuffles as it were but i generally avoid it and run, becuase you are generally outnumbered and they could have knives so yeah it's not a good idea to fight them. it sucks so much being attacked just becuase of how you dress and what music you listen to...
Wow.... I live in Newfoundland. You probly dont know where that is, but it's a province in Canada. Anyway, that sort of stuff never, and I mean never happens here. It makes me proud too. I have never seen a gang except on tv, and it must be so scary living in that kind of environment. This is kinda off topic, but I was watching this story on tv last night about sexual offenders. I dunno if you guys are aware or even have it. But the area the tv crew was in had 15 sexual offenders. Im not sayin Canada's better than US or nothin. But when it comes to gangs and criminals, it'z very rare. At least in my province anyway.
METALHEADS! SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! I'm the only one in the area I live in. In my area there's no gangs, just hippies and hypocrites.
Well Montreal as somewhat a problem with gangs (mostly located downtown) but as I live in the far far east of the island, the problem is not really present.
...At my school no one messes with the punks, metalheads,etc. [/b][/quote] At my school, we just don't care about the punks, metalheads, etc.
At my school we only have the "punks". The metalheads are always these short, fat kids with mullets and wear those large spike bracelets that go to their elbow. I'm the only tall metalhead, but I'm still fat. Anyways, I'm a Blood.
I live in Brooklyn, NY and almost everybody here thinks they are in a gang, but there are a bunch of major ones. They don't scare me, I walk around and drive around with no fear. Most of them are these italian kids who walk around thinking they own the world and can do whatever they want.
