Vince Neil, from the band Motley Crue, is from Compton. Was he in a gang when he was a kid?

Compton area is very volatile. You could go there, walk around during the day and be fine OR you could go there, get out of your car, walk around and then a gang does a drive by at the same time and busts a cap in your head. 50/50 chance that you will get shot

Stay out of Compton
Compton's the most dangerous city in LA County, next to South LA. I'll do my best to make sure I'll never wind up in those areas.

Why do we allow this type of environment to exist here in the USA?
Thousands of Americans have been killed in the Mid East in order to bring stabality/WMD/Genocide Oil or whatever excuse the politicians come up with form week to week.
We need to clean up our one streets before we try to clean Iraq, Korea or wherever.
The white people are afraid that a race war will begin.
That's the only reason OJ got away with murder - they know that the blacks are volatile and violent that they are just looking for an excuse to riot.
Maybe with the next riot, the whites will fight back.

You know damn well it is not worse than any of the other cities you mentioned, especially philly, baltimore, camden or compton.
Stop scaring the tourists

I grew up in the projects in Wilmington in the early 1960's. Went to Banning high school. I haven't been back in years, but it must have really changed
if it is now a "tourist destination"!

Wow, that sounds like a rough place. What are the purpose of gangs anyway? When did they really get started to where they were bad? In the 80s or even sooner?
I remember back in 1987, my aunt (who was 18 @ the time) was going to visit my family in Richmond. She went by herself. She was supposed to be going a western suburb (Midlothian), but somehow she took the wrong freeway exit and ended up in one of the worst part of downtown Richmond, or a bad suburb... I cannot recall. She called my uncle from her huge car phone (loved those 80s car phones) and he told her to put up her windows, lock the doors and not to move that he was on his way. He had told her that there had just been a triple murder very close to where she was just hours before. She called my grandmother and she was terrified and on edge until she found out my aunt was back in Midlothian.

From reading three pages of this thread. "Compton" seems like a terrorist zone. I have witnessed crime with my eyes. But it sounds horrible for some of the things that people say here.
Half the people there are that stupid to just shoot a person for asking questions or wearing a wrong color? Sounds like a bunch of ingrates and animals to me.
But whatever. In any large city walking during the night is not a good idea. At all.
