A whole lot happened in this world yesterday

its wild how Yesterday there were Many Tragedies and then out came The Rescue of TWO lost boys ... FOUR DAYS and FOUR YEARS ... 2007 is going to be a great year!! ...

I was watching the History Channel, There was a show about gang violence. With in the show there was footage and lecture on the Bloods and Crips.. How it Got started to what it turned to and then how the gange Truced and sorta Ended their mass ring or violence..

Basically.. 2 neighborhoods in Watts near 2 schools in Watts .. one Red the other Blue . and out of that Came School Rivalry that turned into Turf Wars and later... Gang Violence and drug activity ...

and then theres the same thing without the gangs that was and still is happening all over the place ...just without gangs ... (and yall know the main place im talking about is New Orleans) ...

Yes... New Orleans does not have gangs. In the Late 80's there were groups who had imitated the bloods and crips here but it didnt work. Yet, here there is School Rivalry's that go along with Ward, Hood and Clique Violence .. but there are no gangs.. reason being is because Everyone is out for themselves. but if it was Ward VS ward .. it would only be a Clique of Individuals that Know each and were probably even from the same schools.. yet dislike eachother because someone stays in the "wrong area" .. shame .. We don't own the land but we'd kill because we think we do..

Our Wards have Paraphernalia and some even have mascots or things that represent the people from the area. if you wear the wrong shirt in the wrong area you were bound to get messed with. BUT it wasnt gang violence. that was Turf issues. .. It had nothing to do with colors.... the only "Color" problems we had in N.O were Racial.....

Its wild because The police out here dont really want to stop the Crime. they only want to keep it going so that the people involved can end up dead .. WHY? because there isn't enough jail space.

its wild ...

On to something else ...

I'm In here with my nephew and he's always talks back to me when i tell him stuff .. then he tells my mom that im messing with him.. She yells at me as if im his age .. I hate it .. They dont want me to tell him nothing.. I try not to but at times i just want to slap him on the arm! the dude is too hyper active.
