Oceanside Gangbuster? Are you serious? (Vista: title, car, racist)

[aacole]

Dude...Seriously, I think we all appreciate the fact that you love your community so much, but get a grip.

1. The minute men are trying to do the same thing on the border with illegals. It ain't working.

2. "Gangbangers"? Come on... This isn't a 90s Spike Lee film. Get with the times. My grandfather calls them gangbangers. That word takes on a completely different context to younger people.

3. The pictures of all the people you are showing could be any young people anywhere. Here in atlanta they dress the same way. Yes, some are involved in gang activity, but thats the style for the most part now. Huge shirts (like nightgowns), sometimes shirtless, huge pants, etc. Its nothing new.

Word. I dont think he understands the phenomena of the current hip hop culture. Many young people who are not associated with gangs do as the romans do on tv. Heck, this trend is not isolated to young boys in the middle school and highschool levels as college kids do the same. Ive even seen a student or two do it at the graduate level. A trend is a trend no matter how much some people like or dislike it. But, theres a difference between behavior and actions of people that are gang related, and those that are just of a few boys hanging together being boys. He doesnt seem to be keen to the difference, and associates anybody and everybody into the same category based on their looks. Thats pretty sad. And if he were to incorrectly label at least 1 kid, he'd be doing that 1 kid a huge injustice. I know he has done so and that is pathetic.

He seems to be self-infatuated with his own work...that is, taking pictures of boys. Anyways, while I do support any type of community activism towards lowering crime, but his doesnt make much sense. That is, going to Oceanside's boardwalk to take pictures and video, and tell the cops that certain people are gang affiliated (something the cops already know).

If you'd really like to make a difference in the community I would suggest to you sir, Mr. Oceanside GangBugger, to perhaps create some kind of coalition reporting suspicious behavior. Something like a neighborhood watch, but focusing on gang activities since that is your main objective. I think you'd get alot farther and gain the respect of many more.
Nevertheless, for a man your age, you sure are portraying a big ego and little maturity.

Moderators....please. Can we get a lockdown here!?

No clowns, [real or pretend] will be given a free pass at our public places. We decided to give the streets back to the normal people, claim the turf so to speak. Get used to it, things won't change around here.

Type "OCEANSIDE POLICE THUG HUNT" into google. I know you're gonna love this one too.

Clowns, this is what you'll see when you thug up our public places.

[GlassPipe]

While I appreciate what you are doing, don't you think you're taking it a little too far? To be honest with you, I wouldn't want to live within 10 miles of someone like you. I'd be scared to fart without spraying thinking that you might try to have me arrested for air polution.

[THE OCEANSIDE GANGBUSTER]

I do not respond to moronic posts.

[GlassPipe]

You just did! And I don't find it moronic, just realistic. Like I said, I appreciate what you're doing. I don't like hood rats anymore than the next guy. But I mean come on man...

I live in Lansing, Michigan. Some little old lady was beaten and murdered for doing what you're doing just a couple years ago here. Sad, but true. Just be careful man and don't drive the normal people doing abnormal things nuts.

Type "SAN DIEGO POLICE USE GANG TRACKER COMPUTER" into youtube.com search box. It's currently the featured video on my site and you'll see why when you see the thug's face when the cop I.D's him.

Parents have gotten involved. Apparently, he was showing up to a community event for at risk youth, harassing kids. A lot of parents were very upset by that. Also, the parents of the kids appearing in his online videos.

The police say they can't do anything because it isn't illegal to film people and post videos of it online.

In the article, it said the parents had an option of a civil suit, charging him with slander, but that was a year ago, and he's still at it, so I guess that didn't go through.

Scroll through the bottom, and you'll see some comments by angry parents.

Watch the videos again, he's messing with kids of all color.

That said, even if he might be slightly crazy, doing anything about gang problems is better than doing nothing. He might not come into contact with real dangerous gangsters but he's just "patrolling" his own area I suppose.
