"Gangs" in my area. *Rant*

Yeah I find these rich suburban "ghetto" kids to be so lame and annoying I would love to see them try and make it over here.

 

All she needs are some nunchuck or bo staff skills.

 

I know what you mean. I grew up in a city that wasn't too bad...but now I live in Santa Barbara and I keep hearing about 'gangs.'

The other day a 14 year old kid was stabbed and has his head crushed in because there was a huge brawl on State St (the main street...very expensive area)

It was a fight between kids that went to school on the west side and the east side.

Completely ridiculous...even more so that someone died because of it:-(

 

I know what you mean. I'm in a very well off area with "gangsta" kids who are whiter than snow. One day in NYC should sort them out...

 

Blame it on rap music glorifying Atlanta nga

Houston is pretty bad itself but where my house is I don't think its that bad to my knowledge...

 

These kids are looking for a sense of belonging because their parents either aren't around or can't handle them.

 

Get that movie Havoc, and play it for her. Maybe she'll see how stupid they really are.

These fake gangs crack me up.

 

Or show them the movie with Jamie Kennedy... I think it's called Malibu's Most Wanted. It's about a white gangster rapper from the streets of...Malibu.

 

+1 Ironically the same symptoms of neglect at both ends of the economic scale.

On a lighter note, I heard on the radio the other day that a guy went to his ex-GF's with a sword to threaten her, and her new roommate came out with his sword and disarmed the disgruntled ex after a brief swordfight! So, it appears that the girl moved in with someone else from their Dungeons and Dragons group of friends.

 

I am glad there are not any gangs in my area.

 

Start one pap..?

 

Hahaha! Maybe I should.

 

LOL!

What would a good 'gang' name be?
Maybe PAP should have a street 'handle'!

 

Same story here in Denver....I live in the suburbs, and look at all these "thug" kids in the hallways of my high school and roll my eyes. If only I could take these kids down to certain areas where I practice track and field everyday... (East Denver... Park Hill, Montbello, Aurora, etc) and see what they make of that.

 

Oh god, I agree x10000000000 don't even get me started.

I guess for kids its just a rebellious phase. I can't stand kids still in college that still act this way...

 

And it's made worse by the SH*T rap music and TV these days.

 

We referred to them as "Gap Gangsters" at our school. Well off kids who thought they were bad-ass wearing their little Gap khakis and having their moms pick them up after frontin' all day at the mall.

 

We have the same problem at my school. People also think its better at the private schools but the truth of the matter is the have more money to party. Kids are crazy now adays heck where I live a 15 year old kid killed a cop.

 

And thus, a geek icon was made.

 

When all else fails blame rap music! Falling right into the man's trap....

 

It's the new American way. Don't take ownership for your actions, blame someone else for them.

 

blame the "protestant work ethic".

 

You have a point, I shouldn't point my fingers at "the man"(music industry slang). Maybe technology and globalization will change the way people survive.
