Worried about the wrong gangs? (Los Angeles: violent crime, houses, neighborhoods)

All gangs are bad. 'nuff said. There is no "correct" or "wrong" gang.

I'm black and I find it amazingly repulsive that members of my race form and join gangs. If either of my kids joined a gang I would personally beat the living crap out of him. That's the problem with the parents of these gangster scum, they dont discipline their kids. Their parents also need to be put in prison for being worthless parents.
The only gangs I am aware of are black, latino or asian.
Why are there no white gangs?

Look whoever is saying all gangs are bad and same is lying to themselves.

Mexican Gangs will more likely attack a random stranger than an African American Gang.

I feel so much safer walking in a Black area than a Mexican area.

Call me racist, but its the truth!

Mexican gangs are more confrontational to strangers.

There used to be white gangs in L.A. They largely disappeared in the '80s. Although TBF white criminal types in L.A. (who still exist in reduced numbers) have traditionally been more drug oriented than gang oriented.

White people don't form gangs they tend to stick to themselves and become serial killers....

Serial killers do tend to be white.

Sure there are white gangs, the KKK, Hells Angels, meta militia they seem pretty lay low for a while, maybe they are hiring other gangs to do some clean work

I definitely feel more threaten by latino gangs than black gangs. Latino gangs are much more confrontational, just a month ago I was driving in a majority latino city and 4 latino men drove their car up to mine and started yelling obscenities to me in spanish. There was no cause for it. I didn't even notice them before then and I was driving straight and and did not change lanes beforehand. After they decided I wasn't going to confront them back they started harassing a couple in another car that wasn't latino. They were targeting us because of the color of our skin. I called the cops right away to report their license plate and I hope they are found.

I have worked in Gardena and Hawthorne in the 90s and early 00s and never have once been confronted by black gang members. I'm not saying they aren't as violent but they don't target everyone.

I think all gang members should be "exterminated" on sight. Period. That's the only way to get rid of those undesirables.

perhaps we could have "America has Gangs" with a phone in vote: possibly judged by Simon Cowell
