Does the OC suffer the same gang problem as LA? (Santa Ana: apartments, crimes)

Actually, that's the third time I've used those joke photos. I've posted the same pictures for Colorado Springs and Huntsville gangstas and those forums.

The gang problem in Central OC is really not that major compared to LA. Its like comparing a small wave and a tsunami really. LA is pretty much a sh**hole for the most part (it has been invaded by South of Border gangs since the 1990's). OC has really not had that huge of an influence by these gangs that have essentially taken over 70% of LA.

Yeah the gangs are mostly of Latin descent. I live in Hollywood and MS-13 is everywhere. The grafitti everyones property. Even people's beautiful houses. They just walk up on their property and spray paint in huge writing MS-13. The city has to come out every week to paint over it. I think honestly they should just be sniped out. My dad is a vietnam vet., came to visit me and said that he would volunteer to do it.

Last time I checked, there where WHITE gangs in Huntington Beach. Check these clips out.

There are Nazi gangs in Irvine. (among others). They do nto do a lot, but it only takes one event to ruin your whole day. In fact, I think getting shot woudl ruin your week entirely.

Unfortunately, there is almost nowhere that you can get completeley away from them unless you go live in the middle of nowhere.

You may be correct. I haven't researched that point. But, the strongest correlation to be found with crime levels in general is the percentage black population of an area. (Note I said "in general".)

Lovin' it. I'm glad to see "Granny" is good with her 9mm.

I lived on the edge of Santa Ana and three kids died in my senior year. It was all gang related. All three kids killed were gang related. Most of these gangs are just fighting over territory. Killing some innocent person isn't exactly doing anything for them. Most of the gangs just want to sell their drugs.

Of course the solution to the problem would be to just legalize drugs and sell it at the local CVS, but we can't have that can we.
