L.A. Gang Wars

Every city has struggled to some degree with gang warfare, where a percentage of the city's murders were gang-related, but Los Angeles...SMH. I was watching some documentaries on L.A. gang warfare and to hear about gang murders topping 600 & 700 every year in the 80's is crazy. '90-'93, L.A. had murder counts of 983, 1,025, 1,092, and 1,077 murders respectively, and of those numbers, about 600 of those were gang related. That mess was crazy. I read that L.A. recorded 1,024 murders in '80. I would've hated to live in South Central L.A. back in the 80's and early 90's, MANNNNNN....

  The peace that comes from being in your own world, not bothering anyone is priceless.
