Not much where I live now, but I just moved this year from the Logan Square neighborhood in Chicago and holy crap we had it rough there.\n\nMy upstairs neighbor got mugged in broad daylight on a major street walking home from the train.  Gang bangers were killing each other all the time.  A friend of mine got beat up just because he happened to walk past some gang banger fighting with his girlfriend.

Heard about them... Advise: Don't get involved with gang activity... It will lead to a life of crime, and then no way of getting a real job in the future.  If the life you want is to be an inmate until you die, have at it, otherwise steer clear.  I promise you that you don't want to be in jail for the rest of your days.

270 during  last year.\nMurders were up slightly nationwide during the first six months of the year, and gang violence contributed to more killings in some of the nation's largest cities, the FBI reported Monday. \nThe number of murders rose 1.1% nationwide, while overall violent crime declined 3.1%. New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia were among the cities with an increase in homicides.\n\nThe reasons for the increase in homicides vary by city. But experts said there has been a resurgence in gang activity in some of the cities.\n\n"The question is, what are they fighting over?" said Kenneth Land, a Duke University sociology professor. "Is it retribution homicides, or turf wars over drugs, or is it protecting turf?"\n\nThe FBI's six-month status report, based on reports from state and local law enforcement agencies, is widely viewed as an important indicator of national crime trends each year. \n\nThe report also is considered a good predictor for the bureau's year-end crime analysis.\n\nThe report does not include raw totals for categories of crimes, only percentages. However, the FBI had figures for some large cities.\n\nThe six-month totals for 2003 marked the third consecutive time the FBI has recorded a decrease in overall violent crimes but an increase in murders.\n\nThe FBI said there were 308 murders from January to June of this year in New York City, compared with 270 during the same span last year. Philadelphia had 158 murders in the first half of this year — 20 more than in the first half of 2002. Baltimore had 141 (14 more) and Newark, N.J., had 40 (13 more).\n\nOfficials in Washington declared a crime emergency this summer during a spate of mostly gang-related violence.\n\nOverall, there were 4.3% more murders in the Northeast part of the country during the first half of 2003 compared with last year. There also were slightly more homicides in the South and West; only the Midwest showed a decrease (-1.9%).\n\nMany major cities outside the Northeast had fewer slayings, the report said. Los Angeles was down by 65; it had 258. Detroit had 156 (28 fewer) and Las Vegas dropped by six, from 70 to 64.\n\nEven with the national increase in murder, overall violent crime fell, as it has for most of the past decade. Other violent crimes besides murder that are measured are forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault.\n\nAggravated assaults were down 4.4%. Forcible rapes dropped 4% and robberies less than 1%. \n\nProperty crimes dropped by 0.8% compared with the year before, although motor vehicle thefts were up slightly at 0.9%. Other property crimes are burglary and larceny.\n\nThe number of arsons — measured separately — dropped 10%. Every part of the country saw fewer criminal fires set in the first half of 2003.\n\nThe nation's largest cities, those with more than 250,000 residents, saw violent crime drop slightly more than 4%. \n\nThe drop was most pronounced in rural areas, however, where violent crime fell 5.7%. Violent crime was down 1.1% in the suburbs.\n\nThe rates for property crime changed very little in cities and suburbs in the first half of 2003, but rural counties experienced a 2.5% decrease.\n\nAll regions of the country showed a decrease in motor vehicle thefts from January to June except the West, where they rose by 7.2%.\n\nThe FBI's Uniform Crime Reports for the first six months of the year are based on information collected from 9,908 state and local law enforcement agencies.

Who cares? Bloods and Crips are weak gangs anymore and are being overrun by new gangs. And the more attention you put on them, like these songs, will just give them more attention and "power".

They've severed the fingers of their rivals with machetes...brutally murdered suspected informants, including a 17-year-old pregnant federal witness...attacked and threatened law enforcement officers...committed a string of rapes, assaults, break-ins, auto thefts, extortions, and frauds across the U.S....gotten involved in everything from drug and firearms trafficking to prostitution and money laundering...and are sowing violence and discord not just here in the U.S. but around the world. \n\nRemind you of mobsters? Actually, this disturbing résumé of crime and violence belongs to MS-13, or Mara Salvatrucha, a fast-growing, violent, and increasingly mobile street gang that’s terrorizing communities in 33 states and the District of Columbia.

I would say so . . if you can give me any good benefits to having organized crime in this world I would love to hear it. \n\nAll gangs do is go around pushing drugs, killing people, stealing everything . . I only wish they could see the negative effect they have on this world. \n\nNot to mention our youth wouldn't be so illiterate . .

There's a good book called 'Tongs Ya Bass' about gang culture in Scotland. I don't know where you live but it's a good read.
