Great idea for a thread!

BTW, Corona is the gang capital of NYC. The gang violence there is out of control!

Really? Corona isn't the most appealing area, but I've felt a lot safer there than other parts of the city.. that's not to discredit you, you could be right, but that would be pretty surprising to me.

Im too lazy to look it up but look up articles on Corona and gangs from 2007-2009 and it's really an epidemic. Trust me on this one, there are too many articles to post up.

The crime rate isn't high but practically all the violence that occurs there stem from gang violence. So if you're not involved in the Latin Kings, ABK, Familia, and Trinitarios, you'll feel safe.

You probably never really dealt with it that much since you weren't a teen or in a gang. The few times I've been in Corona I didn't feel unsafe at all. But it might be different for kids actually growing up there.

lol, I've walked around Corona a lot when I was a teenager since it borders my neighborhood and Elmhurst where most of my childhood friends were born. I haven't seen anything shady, but alas, it's entirely possible that it has a large gang presence.

How old are you now? I'm 27 and the gang thing wasn't as much of a problem when I was a teen. That definitely has gotten worse.

lets add to the crime thread....whats the most violent crime you have seen?

for me the most shocking one is where i saw somebody get robbed in a pizza shop with a gun in broad daylight....while i was eating my pizza in my hometown, far rock.

i have seen people get stabbed before but for some reason the roberry sticks out as the worst.

I've seen people get robbed at gunpoint in broad daylight, but for me, watching one of my friend's get stabbed right in front of me in broad daylight with a crobar (I didn't think this was possible, until I saw it), is much worse than those other incidents.
