The northen limit is 109th ave, the eastern limit Francis Lewis BLVD, the south-west limit Liberty ave (including all the airport area) and finally the south-east limit being Springfield. I'll do it for you later. But the numbers are much lower than that.
Well damn that didn't take too long.

How do I go about getting the specific population? I don't take the NYPD stats to heart, I know they're all a load of bull, what do you use?

I don't live there anymore but I was there last night and somebody started dumping it, I wonder if the NYPD knows.

LOL it's kinda tricky. I know the boundaries of the precinct so what I do is I search the zip code population. Zip code boundaries and precinct boundaries are very similar. So the numbers are usually in the same range, but I add / subtract population to make up the minor differences in boundaries.

Yeah and S.S Jamaica is crappy.

Well, I said that a while ago, and have been to Philly a few more times since I said that. I've seen the area and it's pretty bad. I'm sorry about what happened.

And LOL @ your complete misconception of the caliber of gangs you're comparing here. There is no such thing as an NYC gang that could hang with ANY Compton gang. And good luck trying to pit Zoe Pound against not just one, but ALL of Compton. 27 crip gangs, 16 blood gangs and 22 Sureno gangs. Yeah, Zoe pound would tear apart all of that THESE DAYS. LMFAO!

Dude, just stop talking about gangs. You've never been correct in even one thing I've read from you regarding them. You know nothing lol.
you just asked does zoe pound still exist?? you must be very slow zoe pound till this day are one of the top gangs in maimi , they still control gangs under them to so what are you saying?

and actually zoe pound probably could have a nice fight with those compton gangs cause those compton gangs would probably killl eachother first before they entered to the ring with the zoes

I must be very slow b/c I was asking if Zoe Pound still exists?? You must be inbred if you're making that idiotic of a statement.

I don't live in FL nor do I really give a crap about some Haitian gang 3000 miles away from me, so grow up already. What are you, like 12?

Cool, Zoe Pound's still running things in MIA. Big whoop. That affects me how?? I was under the impression that they had died out and weren't anywhere near as powerful as they used to be. I guess I was wrong. That would be the reason why I was ASKING!!!

And believe whatever fantasy bullcrap you want about what gang would destroy whatever other gang. It doesn't change the fact that all that exists in Compton would be too much for any one gang to take on. I can't believe I'm even allowing myself to get dragged this deep into some 4th grade "my dad and uncles can beat up your dad" type argument. I was mocking what the Russian Comedy Act was saying b/c he always misses the mark in his comments about that kind of crap. I know Zoe Pound was no joke, but he made a ridiculous comment and I responded to it. I'm not trying to keep going with this like I'm some idiot kid so go on with that crap already.

Naw, I knew who they are. I just thought they had already passed their prime. Russian dude was talking about them like they were the new hottest thing to hit the streets and were something the rest of the world hadn't seen before. I thought they were old news, didn't realize they were still that relevant. But why would I know how active they currently are anyway when I live on the opposite side of the continent? I wasn't claiming to be an expert on them, I was just clowning dude for bringing them up b/c he probably just learned who they were.
