POLITICS AND PC
In today's issue of the LA TIMES (9/16) Sam Quinones writes about SNYs, internal Eme/NF politics and what could be the beginning of a new paradigm behind the walls. He touches on so many aspects of this situation that the article could be used as a jumping off platform for a month-long discussion.

The main point of the piece is that Eme/NF internal politics are creating dropouts at historic rates. It's a situation where the prison gangs are basically eating their own.

Let's look at this. There are a number of reasons why carnals and associates drop out. One is they're looking at some long time and decide to catch a break by debriefing and going into PC. The other is that they've broken some reglas and been put in the hat. The last one is the one that should have the big homies rethinking their stand about politics, personal feuds and staking a bigger claim to a pie that seems to be shrinking.

I'm a big believer in studying history. When you know what happened in the past, you might get a clue to what might happen in the future. When Chuco Castro debriefed back in the early nineties, one of the several reasons he gave was that he realized he's taken out more than a few brothers and associates that hadn't done anything wrong. But he went ahead and took care of business anyway because those were the rules. Somebody shows up on a lista and the rules say you got to do what you got to do. Chuco realized that even straight up soldiers who dotted all the I's and crossed all the T's, kicked up, played fair and followed the rules were getting put in ditches because somebody, somewhere, for some unknown reason decided they belonged there.

Chuco came to the realization that if he stayed in the mix long enough, even he could end up on somebody's list for reasons he couldn't even guess at. This is nothing new. But way back then, it was rare that somebody of his stature had to watch his back from the very people that claimed to be his closest allies.

What seems to be happening now is an acceleration of that reality among more and more soldiers. I mentioned a few posts back about the change in the power structure in County. That situation is a straight up power struggle. A "mine's bigger that yours" macho, power move that's only going to create more fault lines and fractures inside the organization. Going back to history, it's a replay on a smaller scale to the insane, self-destructive moves that Nicky Scarfo played in North Jersey. He whacked anybody and everybody, even his own blood family members in an out-of-control demonstration of raw power. The business and the personal got so mixed up in his head that the whole organization imploded from the inside. All the Feds did was find somebody in the mix afraid enough of nutcase Scarfo to tip the scales a little bit. We're seeing a lot of that right now in the Sureno Nation.

What the growth in PC yards is doing is taking away the brothers' power to project their influence beyond the SHUs. They've traditionally had the power because they had access to main yards. As more PC yards coming on line, the power to call shots dimishes. If you play that paradigm out to its logical conclusion, you'll be left with a handful of shot callers thrashing around in their SHUs, isolated from the rest of the inmate population and desperately looking for any willing homie to carry out orders.

PC or SNY yards, as Quinones alludes to, no longer have the negative connotation they used to. It used to be that solid soldiers, North or South, would rather take their chances getting stabbed up in mainline than being PC'd up with chesters, snitches and queens. That's not the case anymore. And you can't blame them. If the very people you grew up with and shed blood for can't be trusted not to turn on you on the say-so of some paranoid carnal in the SHU, then hey, PC sounds like the deal of a lifetime. Better to be a live dropout than bleeding out in a shower or choked out in your cell and not even knowing why the hell you just got hit.

Your thoughts?

thats a dumb comment, hey problem is there are too many different fools calling shots

Anonymous said...

Well my take is with the homies that call shots away at Pelican Bay, that leaves someone else to fuck shit up at whatever institution your at. People are being hit for reasons that can't be answered. I see some serious shit about to happen around the CDC and the shot callers for MM are gonna have to regroup. While the NF shot callers got sent off to the feds, the new "Mesa" is not carryin business with any structure or honor and their ways have made thousands of soldiers second think their rules. As crazy as it sounds things are beginning to change and one day the North and South might fight a united front, but a lot of shit is gonna go down before that happens.

These are different times and the gang shit is getting played out. When I was a lil vato, raza didn't have new cars or own houses, now we do and being a square with a nice house, nice car, and firme ruca seems alot better than being known as a chingon in the pen (our only chance at fame back then). The lure just isn't what it once was. Another thing, The police didn't have half of the technology for fighting crime they do today. I'm not so sure some of those eme legends could do what they did back then today under the advanced crime fighting techniques at LE disposal. Its alot harder to get away with crime.

Hey I don't want to sound like an apologist for the EME but whoever put down those last 3 posts is either very misinformed or is a blatant "agent provateur" trying to incite some kind of pedo within the raza. You should give up that kind of crap and stick to what you might know about. And to have the huevos to use the placaso "Chicano Liberation Front" is really a pedejada. Anyone who has any sense of history or is old enough to remember can tell you that the so called "Chicano Liberation Front" was just that a "Front" that was exposed way back in the 60's as a Gov't chasco to try and incite pendejos to act's of ridiculous violence that would bring down the forces of anti-raza on the people it was claiming to represent. Step out of the dark and tell the truth or get back in your cave and play with yourself.

[If enough people drop out and hook up, they can become a new gang comprised of gang members from the north and south. One big califas click]

Sounds good but it doesn't work that way. It also defeats the reason for dropping out.

In the gang underworld (at least in the Chicano gang culture) once you drop out, it is necessary to "snitch" about something in order to attain this PC status or "sensitive" status.

So, it stands to reason, once you "snitch", you have already crossed that line from whence there is no turning back. ALL convicts will remember that you pc'ed and you are no longer considered worthy of being a "fellow pinto", let alone start your own prison gang.

Someone is pulling your leg "big time" on this blog if you listen to this kind of "pc rhetoric". It doesn't work that way in the "real" gang world.

But it makes for nice Blog gossip.

Dream on, Senor Anonymous. That's like saying there's a secret society of homosexual killers who are "going down for the cause".

KMA hit it on the nose. A peceta is no longer welcomed by Surenos; a peceta is no longer welcomed by Nortenos; A peceta can pretend to be down for the gangster cause but a peceta has now "crossed into the twilight zone" and is an outcast.

You can run with your kind and lie to each other. You can talk big on a computer. But you will NEVER be accepted by the majority.

You are TAX FREE for sure because you are locked up in PC. Hey, that rhymes:

Is it me or are Mexicans the "new" blacks in society? What I mean is, are we turning into what the black community did in the 60's, 70's and 80's? Are we starting to shit on our own kind? Are we shitting in our own backyard? I think we are. Hitting vatos for nothing, robbing paleteros, politcing about nonsense. We are turning into the "new blacks" of the 21st. century. Even though more Meixcanos are moving places and doing things, we still seem to be taking a step backwards. It's like glamorizing your failures. People here and in the calles want to be associated with vatos from the "M" Like thats something cool and attainable. Even this Chicano rap is turning and looking like mayates. When people go to jail, shouldn't they be sorry and want to get out? It seems now that people look forward to hitting the main line and then shanking another carnale because of different opinions, or the way he looked at someone, or a diffent accent. Does this REALLY make any sense? I think not. This whole SNY is a wake up call. Why put your life on the line to uphold another vatos "reputation"? I don't give a fuck about some vato from the I.E who supposedly laid a path years ago. Fuck that, go out and earn your keep. It you have a "rep" to uphold, then keep earning it. Right? Does anyone else feel the same? I think people are getting some sense into them and turning the other cheek. Let niggers and wops go at it and keep doing what they are doing. Keep the Mexicano culture and history in tact. Keep the hard working legacy of the Mexican up to par and leave the bull for the negros and hueros. Tu sabes?

[Are we starting to shit on our own kind?]

Either you are naive or just too young to see that this has been happening for a looong time.

The community members who aspire to "be like Ganster Mike" have a different value system than the average American or the average Chicano. A made EME member is treated in his barrio much the same as the war hero who returns from the service of his country to the congratulations of his people.

The fact that they do exploit their own is not lost on them. They become part of a system (also known as, "climbing the criminal corporate ladder") that shits on it's own in a similar manner that successful Chicano politicians climb their corporate ladder and, guess what: they too shit on their own!

Either way, it's a shitty deal with one being legal and the other illegal. Either way, the shit hits those at the bottom.

We can ramble all we want on this Blog about uprisings and tax free and Mongols cutting deals and who's the baddest this and baddest that and whose penis is bigger in Santa Monica or East L.A.

Bottom Line: The EME is here to stay and the solution to eliminating the EME is to eliminate street gangs. How do we do this? That is the Million Dollar question.

I know there's no hope in what I say but that's the way it is. We can "spin" all we want but reality rears its ugly head in the meantime.

Straight Ahead !!!

Great Article.
As you can see, some of the veteranos are finally seeing the light and that power corrupts all. Not to mention that drugs make you paranoid and lets not forget that most of these shot callers are tecatos.
This single line right here explains it the most accurately on how things get fucked up...
"Greed, lack of control and drug addiction breed feuds, rip-offs and betrayals on the street. Gang members use the drugs they're supposed to sell or rob mafia-protected dealers. "
Thats why so many soldados who thought they were down for the cause and do thier part are having a change of heart. Why put in all the work when all it takes is one lil false rumor to get your name on a list?
As evident on the blog however, for every hard banging veterano that drops out because they now see the light, there are at least 2 youngsters to take their place so they can be in the gangster spotlight and be down for the crown. How long well it take the new recruits to see how the leaders in Pelican Bay really have no clue whats happening on the outs?
You all know its true. Look at the power struggles internally between both groups. In Eme's case, due to taxation, you have defection at the street level also. Norteno's are mostly united on the streets, but if they were to be taxed, you never know.
As more dropouts keep looking over thier shoulder thinking they have been green lighted, more of them when not only got to SNY but will also turn states evidence. La eme and La Nuestra Familia will realize that what they once did to keep the soldados in line by whacking their own is now the thing that is making the same vatos drop a dime on them so save their own lives.
Corner an animal into a cage and they will do whatever it takes for survival.

To Retired Joker, hey Homes why do you keep mentioning Eme/Surenos and NF/chanates in the same sentence. They are not even in the same league, as stated before on this blog Eme and AB hooked up a long time ago due to many business and personal connections and it's AB that needs help in the pinta. NF needs the protection of the mayuga's to survive due to being minor league and sinverguensa's.

Anonymous said...

A male Sur groupie, what a shame.

T-VO said...

I mention them in the same sentence because the article was referring to both sides. If they are not same league than they are at least two fish in the same pond.
The NF has smaller numbers but just as capable.
But I'm going to go off into some net banging rant saying one side is better than the other. Yes, the NF and La Eme are very different. One taxes and one doesn't, some LE say the NF is also more organized,they have to be, just to survive but there is politics on both sides just as the article says.

A LONG TIME CARNAL WAS KILLED FOR REFUSING TO ROB A BANK.
MYKEO WAS TO ROB IT, & SEND FERIA TO THE C'S IN THE SHU. THE VATO WANTED HIS FREEDOM, IT COST HIM HIS LIFE. THEN THERE'S THE BROWN BOB MURDER. SEE ALL THIS MASA IS STARTING TO HIT ALOT OF VATOS BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH GANGSTEROS. ONCE THEY HIT THE SNY THEN YES THEY MIGHT HAVE THEIR OWN AGENDAS AND 25ERS BE KILLERS BY TRADE. BUT WHAT WILL YOU DO IF YOU ARE FORCED TO LIVE WITH A SURENO FROM DOWN SOUTH TRYING TO EVADE EME? BE HIS HOMIE OR WHAT?

Cap's Saloon is a bar and card room in downtown Salinas, California. On a warm evening in May, 2001, Armando Frias Jr. was here playing pool. Frias was 19 and an aspiring member of a gang that controlled drug sales in the area. At Cap's he spotted a man who was in trouble with the gang for selling drugs without sharing his profits. Frias called his street bosses on his cell phone. They met him in the parking lot. They gave him a gun, and he went back inside.

"When I walked in there," says Frias, "I went to the jukebox, came up behind him, and shot him. I thought I hit him in the back of the head and I found out I hit him in the back of the neck."

The victim died at the scene. Armando Frias Jr. was arrested and imprisoned. But the leaders of the group behind the killing were already in prison. Frias was acting on behalf of a powerful Latino prison gang. The group is called "Our Family" - in Spanish, Nuestra Familia, or NF.

"All over Northern California," Frias explains, "you've got these regiments that are being run by the NF, and all these regular street gang members out there selling drugs, they're paying a certain percentage to the NF. They call it paying rent or taxes. That's just the way the NF runs, that's the way they run the streets."

The NF isn't a street gang that's gone to prison. It's a prison gang that's hit the streets. The NF and other prison gangs have flourished in a place designed to shut them down.

At Pelican Bay State Prison, behind a maze of concrete walls, high voltage security fences and steel doors, lies a prison within a prison. It's commonly known as a supermax. The state of California calls this place the Security Housing Unit or SHU.

Most of the inmates here are gang members. Their cells are windowless and nearly bare. The men are locked here 22 and a half hours a day, usually alone. Inmates are held in virtual isolation to try to keep them from working together, but even the SHU can't stop some leaders from running their gangs.

"The head leaders of the Nuestra Familia, the Mexican Mafia, the Aryan Brotherhood, you name the prison gang, they're in prison," says Joseph McGrath, who was warden at Pelican Bay until 2004. "And they control the activities of the gang both within the prison system and in our communities in California and now unfortunately, have even spread to other states."

Prison gangs that started in California are now in more than 20 states. Recent surveys report more than 300,000 gang members in America's jails and prisons. For convicts like Epitacia Cortina, the prison gang offered a strange kind of career: as teacher, fighter, arch criminal.

"I lived, I breathed, I ate, I slept, I thought the gang," says Cortina.

He is a heavy-set 31 year old Latino serving 15 years to life for murder. His body is covered with NF tattoos, a black eagle with arched wings on his wrist, the number 14 etched just above his left eye. Cortina spent eight years in the Pelican Bay SHU as a loyal captain in the Nuestra Familia.

"When I became a member of the NF," says Cortina, "I was put in charge of a regiment out on the streets, meaning I was to help oversee that regiment making sure that the members we had out there were generating revenue for the organization in prison."

Cortina says he trained other inmates prior to their parole. Once out of prison, these men ran the gang's criminal network, including street gangs.

"We'd educate them on vocabulary, how to speak properly, how to dress properly, blend in with society so that way you can do your criminal activity on the under. We also educated them on how to do bank robberies, how to do armored car robberies, how to do home invasions."

Cortina says the parolees faced brutal retaliation if they didn't follow the gang's orders. Cortina himself is now in danger because he recently left the gang.

NF generals at in the Pelican Bay SHU controlled dozens of street regiments like Cortina's. Twenty-five percent of profits, mainly from drug dealing, was deposited in NF bank accounts. To do all this, the gang used ingenious methods.

"We've got several examples of what we call micro-writing," says officer David Barneburg, as he shows off a pile of recently intercepted messages.

The NF passes messages in legal mail and in scraps of paper filled with tiny, almost microscopic script.

"This is what we refer to as a BNL, a bad news list," says Barneburg. "This one I've got is actually 14 pages long and contains about 1500 names of northern Hispanics, their CDC number, any marks or tattoos they have that can identify them by. Whenever somebody arrives to a yard, this list will be referenced. If they're name is on the list, they'll be targeted for assault. And this is only a partial list."

That list was recovered from a northern Hispanic in the B facility of the prison. It was recovered by the staff and had been secreted in the inmate's rectum.

Gang members don't just hide messages in body cavities. They also write them in exotic languages. This method is so pervasive, Pelican Bay actually banned anything written in Swahili, Celtic Runic and Nahuatl. That's the language of the Aztecs used by the Nuestra Familia.

"Every time we tighten the screws so to speak, they're going to find a way around it," says Lt. Robert Marquez, Pelican Bay's chief gang investigator. He says even though guards read inmates' mail and monitor their phone calls, gang leaders still get their orders out onto the streets. "If they know a certain gang member's paroling they'll give him all kinds of messages, phone numbers, contacts, hit lists. So the guy leaves here with a cache of information [of] people who are supposed to be murdered, people who are supposed to be extorted."

Out of prison flows crime. No place has been hit harder than Salinas, the farming town in central California that once inspired John Steinbeck.


Three men in their late teens, members of a street gang tied to the Nuestra Familia. - photo by Janjaap Dekker, courtesy Center for Investigative Reporting

In an east Salinas neighborhood with rows of tidy houses, three men in their late teens stand in an open garage. They are members of a street gangs with close links to the Nuestra Familia. One man, who calls himself Juan, is sealing a drug deal on his cell phone.

The men wear short hair, red baseball caps, and football jerseys. With pride, they show off torsos etched with gang tattoos and scars from bullet wounds.

"I believe in being a homeboy," says Juan. "I just believe I will die for my cause, for my struggle."

Juan says the struggle is about defending northern California Latinos, called "nortenos," from the enemy, Latinos with roots in southern California, known as "surrenos." But it's really a struggle for drug turf that began behind bars with two long-feuding prison gangs: the NF, which spawned the nortenos, and the Mexican Mafia, an even bigger prison gang that rallies the surrenos.

The proxy war between northern and southern California Latinos has claimed hundreds of lives. It burns in places like Salinas where poverty and unemployment are severe.

Now, some people are getting fed up with the violence. Demonstrators in Salinas recently gathered to mourn the city's 250th gang related killing since the early 1990s. They beat drums, chanted and watch Aztec-style dancing.

Not all the victims are gang members. Elsa Sandoval came here to remember her 27-year-old son Joey. He was killed two years ago in what appeared to be a random shooting. His murder, like many in Salinas, remains unsolved.

"We won't stop," says Sandoval, "until we find these son-of-a-bitches that killed our sons. We'll find them."

NF old timers say this kind of street violence is not what the group was founded for. Like many prison gangs, the NF started as a prisoner defense group in the late 1960s. The NF established a constitution and an educational curriculum. But the NF moved into the drug trade and grew more violent.

The NF expanded in youth jails and on the streets. Leaders imposed military-style discipline and a lifetime commitment often sealed in the killing of a rival.

By the late 1990s, law enforcement started to see the true scale of the NF. George Collord, a police detective in Santa Rosa, was investigating unsolved gang murders when an informant linked the crimes to Pelican Bay. His investigation later triggered a major FBI task force. Collord was stunned to discover a sophisticated gang network throughout northern California - all controlled by NF leaders in Pelican Bay's Security Housing Unit.

"Generally people in this country think that when people go to prison, that they're losers," says Collord. "These guys were not losers."


Nuestra Familia CD

Collord started calling the NF leaders, "puppet masters." He discovered the gang even produced low-budget films and rap CDs with chilling lyrics. One such song, "Target Practice," has a chorus of females repeating "Pinta bound, pinta bound," which means headed for prison. This song's message is that prison is inevitable - even desirable.

Collord says the CDs flew off the shelves and triggered more violence.

"There's always been gangster rap around," says Collord, "but this was a little more direct in its approach. It had a selected audience which were the young northern Hispanics that the NF really wanted to recruit and tell them that, 'You're not alone. You've got a huge army, a huge movement that is with you.'"

That message inspired young street gang members like Willie Stokes. That's why he arrived to Pelican Bay filled with the anticipation of a college freshman.

"When I first went to Pelican Bay," says Stokes, "you're like so fascinated by, 'Oh here's all these guys you've always heard about, all these guys who run everything.' You're just fascinated with it all. And you hear the way they talk, Aztec language, just all this knowledge and philosophy from reading all this stuff. You just, you know, 'Oh I want to be like that, I want to be smart and educated like he sounds.'"

"I've sat in rooms with young kids, who say they can't wait to go to prison," says George Collord. "Because their uncles have gone, their cousins have gone, the people they respect most in this world have gone to prison. And you scratch your head, and you go, 'Wait a second, you want to give up your freedom out here?' I've even said, 'You want to give up girls for a while? Come on, you're a teenager!' 'Yes,' the answer's 'yes.'"

But before a young gang member gets to prison, he's expected to put in work on the streets. That might mean assaulting a rival, or murder. And that brings the story back to Armando Frias Jr..

On that warm May evening at Cap's Saloon, Frias was fresh out of juvenile lockup where he'd enlisted with a group run by the NF. Frias says some members had doubts about his loyalty because of relatives who'd dropped out of the gang.

"So I used to go out of my way to show that there was no reason for them to have doubts about me," says Frias. "And I don't like nobody to question me. And the way I did was by showing them through my actions."

At Cap's Saloon, a video surveillance camera recorded Frias proving his loyalty by shooting a man named Raymond Sanchez. Frias is now serving 25 years to life for the murder.

Frias was one of dozens of people prosecuted as part of the FBI-led crackdown on the Nuestra Familia. They include five NF leaders indicted while serving life terms at Pelican Bay Prison. Detective George Collord says the operation was a success and that the NF's leadership is disrupted, for now.

"But the years and years of training and the philosophies that have gone down," says Collord, "from the thousands that are below them, leaders will emerge. As long as you've got the recruitment pool out there, you're going to survive and new leaders will emerge."

There is an epilogue to this story. The five Nuestra Familia leaders prosecuted in federal court are apparently still in business. Intercepted communications revealed the NF leaders were issuing orders, even as they awaited probable life sentence from a federal judge. The men will serve their time far away from California, but now investigators believe the NF is plotting to expand to federal prison.

The incident at Cap's Saloon in salas was when the rata Bob "Huerito" Gratton was the regiment leader. He had actually already turned states evidence when that hit took place. The guy that was hit was a fellow norteno but he was dealing chiba in a NF run area of chinatown in Salinas and did kick up the proper amount to do business.
I think Eme and NF soldados in the Pinta may eventually get fed up and start going PNY but will that trickle down to the streets? I doubt it. The surenos in the bay area don't get influenced much by La Eme so that war will most probably continue on. Remember you South Siders on this blog, the surenos on the streets in the bay area are closer to being Paisas than they are to benig card carrying surenos. Most of them join these "Sur" gangs because they get tired of being picked on for being a Wetback. Matter of fact they ( the Paisa Sureno) have given SUR an acronym. They call Sur (Southern United Raza) I don't think I ever heard that term being used in So Cal.
So to sum it up, the beef in the pinta between north and south may subside due to internal killings and carnals getting tired of putting in work on their own, but the streets will still have the war raging on and with that, new soldados to take their place.

[But it's really a struggle for drug turf that began behind bars with two long-feuding prison gangs]

Another Blogger has so aptly put it: It's all about DRUGS! This is indeed the fuel that propels the Machine. Look around you and tell me how many people you personally know that died of a drug-related overdose. I bet many of us know several or know people whose family members died of the same.

[...and the Mexican Mafia, an even bigger prison gang that rallies the surrenos]

The EME is probably NOT as big as you may think (numerically, that is). Their "made" members are in the hundreds rather than thousands because their recruitment criteria has always been an insistence on "quality versus quantity".

The EME's influence is so extensive today that the appearance given is that of this monstrous (again, numerically speaking) organization. They simply have many Chicano gangsters willing to do their bidding. As KMA said: they all "want to be like Mike".

Like the New York Yankees of baseball, the EME may lose during a season but in the long run they are the standard from which all prison gangs look to pattern themselves after.

They influence too many street gangs in L.A., So Cal and throughout the west to be threatened by any fly-by-night groups.

PNY residents will remain in the joint (like the residents of the White Elephant - SEE Below) with their status diminished in the eyes of hardcore surenos and notenos who fancy themselves to be "walking that gangster walk"! Seriously, how can a Protective Custody inmate be seriously considered more than a disgruntled renegade (at best) from the mainline population.

Those on the outside are even less inclined to buy into these so-called "sensitive yards" (sensitive; it even sounds feminine) because they are "flying high" on their own supply. With plenty of drugs at their disposal to influence their deluded minds, and the promise of EME or NF heaven in the horizon, these sheep are indeed being led to the proverbial slaughter!

Retired Joker said: [I think Eme and NF soldados in the Pinta may eventually get fed up and start going PNY]

These events in the prison gang community seem to go in cycles. There are periods when you have an unusual number of defectors in which the mandate is to "close the books" (no more recruiting until they "clean up their back yard").

Member dropouts should be distingished from sureno non-member dropouts. Surenos are ALWAYS expendable by EME whereas carnales are not.

There are also periods when the heat is increased (this is usually when solid leaders are not able to communicate to underlings properly) and events proceed in a "helter-skelter" manner, much like you see today.

There was a similar period about 20 years ago and the White Elephant in Chino was utilized to house PC norteno's and sureno's. Tracy, San Quentin, Soledad, Chino and Tehachapi had similar but smaller units where these "13" and "14" dudes co-existed. It was a "respite from the battlefield" for these guys!

PC inmates who take advantage of their current "salvation" should use their brains and reenter society to become productive.

Unfortunately, many will proceed with the same lifestyle, pretending to be gangsters (pretenders can be just as dangerous because they're looking to prove something) and they will be killed in their 'hoods or in county jail.

It takes more courage to PC than to remain in the mix. Once you've exercised that courage, don't blow it by returning to that lifestyle. It's like stepping into quicksand - only one way to go! Make it a FINAL transformation
and enjoy the REAL world.

Peace .........

Orale, Just Curious. Nice come back.
I agree with TJ about this happening in cycles but the main differnce now is Eme and NF are no longer the only sharks in the tank. Other prison gangs are growing and getting a stronger grip in their state or region and different levels of street gangs is expanding. The growing influence of central american gangs coming up through mexico with no ties to La Eme are making a presence throughout the south and east coast. They may carry the 13 in some cases but owe no allegiance to Sur. If La Eme could ever reach an agreement with them however, the Eme web could spread accross the country easily. I don't see that happening however since they already have their leadership entrenched and LE has see their ability to coordinate thier different clicks accross the US. MS13 is getting quite the nasty name with LE accross the country. I guess it seems that everybody wants to be a gangster again. If you don't care if you go to prison, there is something definitely wrong with your menta.

I once posted how things worked in YA so far as gangs. Now we didn't have NF or EME but that didn't matter because your own would still fuck you up if they could.
I said if there were nortenos and surenos, we would fued, if no surenos , we'd bang against each other. same thing happens in sureno controlled ya institutions.



The vato who had a finger in his ass ( I know you putos loving hearing this story) would have gotten off on anyone, shit he bashed a gang of surenos for us ( not paisas, vatos from east los) but was still considered no good because another vato from Fresno played a fucked up mind game on him.

You don't need the EME to treat surenos like bitches and pe ce's , surenos do enough of that to each other. You dont need NF to treat nortenos like bitches, they do it to each other as well. We can blame the eme and nf for alot of bullshit but chicans have been abusing one another without the prison gangs to guide us for a long time.

Next time you vatos want to talk shit and disrespect each other by referencing the vato from Fresno who had a finger up his ass, remember this: one on one, he would have fucked you up too and, regardless of what went in his culo, he banged on alot of fools in YA while ya'll do it on the internet. He's probably got way more heart than you!

I have never once talked shit about Surenos on this site. I'm too old to net bang. I just call it like I see it. In past posts, I clearly indicated I grew up around San Jose for 20 years and then moved to so cal for the last 5 years and have a unique perspective of seeing things on both sides now. I grew up around SOS (Sons Of Samoa, Crips, Bloods, Nortenos , Vietnamese and Filipino gangs.
I also stated I have never done hard time, a stint in Santa Clara County Juvie Hall and the drunk tank a few times. I was a terrible teenage but grew up quick after I was shot 4 times when I was 22 and slowly drifted away from the lifestyle but still had ties to the homies and I still knew what time it was. Before that I was shot at 3 other times. I'm 6'3" 220lbs. Not alot of vatos want to throw down with me, so I guess shooting was a better way. Was I a norteno, yes. Do I claim now? No, I claim me and my family.
Who I would gladly kill for and/or be killed for if circumstances were that dire. I will not die for a color or some other vatos chiba problem.
Have I ever walked the yard or any tier, no. But I've seen to many of my homeboys get sent up and realize thats not for me. I'm 34 now have a good job, a beautiful ruca who's making me Spaghetti tonight and it just doesn't get better than that,brother.

He wasn't homosexual, he was a pendejo. He didn't let the vato stick a finger in his ass cause he liked it. He really thought thats what happens in jail and the point of the whole story was how people from your own cities and sometimes hoods take advantage of the fact your not criminally sophistaced, not just the EME and NF. He was a good fighter no doubt as evidenced by all the surenos he knocked out, but he was still deemed no good as I've always stated. We never ate after him, we didn't even kick it with him, but every time a new sureno rolled up, we'd tell him he can get off the leva by smashing the sureno. He banged a gang of you vatos but never had the leva lifted which just proves how pendejo he was. You'd think he would have learned we weren't going to let him in after the tenth sureno he KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT!

Everyone here who makes fun of others by using this vato as an example of northerneres is trying elevate themselves at his expense. We weren't king kong either, he just wouldn't go against the 14 which is why he let a vato stick a ginger in his ass. It was beyond his comprehension that 14 ers would do him wrong when all he wanted to do was put in work. He probably could have smashed most of us northerners just like he did the surenos that rolled through. I always felt bad for the vato giving his all to something that would do him like it did. I have similiar stories of sureno shotcallers rolling up from YTS only to be stabbed in the ass and PC'ed because the shotcaller for the SUR at Preston felt he was a threat to his power. It would be lost on you though as you can't seem to comprehend much.

It did so far as him ever being able to kick it (be in the car). Thats why I thought it was sad, he was never going to be considered good in the eyes of the homies no matter how much work he put in.
His good standing was out the window but that don't mean his willingness to do dirt would go untapped (no pun intended). Why waste our manpower when we had this vato willing to put himself on the line for us. The fact he let someone do to him what they did only made him that much more expendable to us. He wasn't one of us but his actions served our needs and we took advantage of his willingness to commit violence. I think what happened to him solidified my distaste for the chicano gang culture as it stands because here we had a vato willing to commit himself to our cause and we abused him for being weak minded. Its alot easier to teach someone the reglas than to have him grow some heuvos. The vato who did that to him fucked off a potential torpedo with great potential for personal reasons. He wasn't thinking about the cause, just that he disliked this vato from the calles. Why worry about surenos when we had our own vatos trying to break each other instead of uplifting one another into better soldiers.

ANd in fact you fall into the same category with all your entremitido,caca. You seem just like the old CLF people trying to create situations between the jente.

I'm white, 20 years old, from the Reseda area and I'm posting here because I'm interested in joining one of the better Mexican gangs in the area. I'm not really ghetto or anything like that, but I know all the lingo and stuff. Once I show heart and get jumped in, I'm not going to do any 187s or anything like that but I will spray paint walls wih you and even I'll even get down and smoke some reefers every now and then. Oh yeah, I go to school during the week so this is going to have to be a "weekend gangster" type thing; at least until I graduate. And jail is out of the question because I have allergies. So, future homies, I'm confident that I can make a contribnution to one fo your fine organizations, and O look forward to your replies.

At the end of the day, after all the drive by shootings, what has been gained? Is it all really about respect, like you guys are just slightly evolved past chickens and dogs? Why did evolution stop in Mexico? Without the Spaniards you would be living in huts made out of dried shit and eating bugs.

(I'm white, 20 years old, from the Reseda area.....)

You said enough right there. Congratulations, you now qualify to be a "home girl". You don't have to perform any 187's ... oral copulation will do.

As for your medical problem, don't worry, you'll land a sugar daddy upon arriving at LACJ and you will be well taken "care of" in the joint.

With the proliferation of white prison gangs (AB and NLR specifically), you will no longer be in need of a Mexican convict's protection as your own folks can "take you under their wing" (or under their blankets) and you won't know the difference.

If you "burn coal", you'll be sold at a decent price. So, my aspiring bitch, be happy and good luck in your criminal future.

Dear Mr. El Chiludo (AKA: Mr. Big Stick)

First of all - I am gay, there I said it. Now let's move on. I must admit I thought I knew quite a bit about the gay lifestyle, but now I have learned something new and I am really excited. I don't know what you look like, but I think I really like you. You are young (Mmmmm) and butch (at least you talk rough) and you are, like me, a homosexual. Now, I don't have enough free time to actually go to prison because I have a really great job which I love, but perhaps the two of us could mock up a cell somewhere and do a little role playing? Then we could cuddle and watch some episodes of Prison Break that I have on my Tivo. Respond here and we can figure out a way to connect without alerting all you pals who might think you are straight. Anticipating your response. Chow!

Hey Joker, I just came across this site and wanted to shout out to you. Your right on man and fuck those ignorant tools. I grew up in GILLAS(VARRIO 500) but moved across the country when my mother remarried at about the time I would have began earning my stripes. I still kick it with some of my old friends who are now methed out hollow soldiers. trying to act cool living the life.IT'S ALL ABOUT THE DRUGS CARNALES, WE ARE KILLING OUR OWN NORTH & SOUTH. Now, I don't claim or waste my time with petty color bullshit, i work in salas and live around the horseshoe area and I see this red on red fuckin' waste. Wake up brothers! Luckily I learned to be a real chicano from my tio's who although never left the east side, went to Berkely and UCLA in gratitude, duty and honor to our communities instead ! As an educator in salas I see this crazy shit everyday! Do something that's real for our jente, make our people stronger, smarter and united!

This is a shout to raza who read this. When I did my time in soledad, solano, and susanville, I was banging against you surenos, like when i had to spend 4 months in o-wing in chole after the whole north yard got off (i spent 40 months in CDC, and all I got to show for it is norteno in old english on my chest).
Anyways, I been out a long time now, and aint holding no grudges. After my best homeboy was set up in ESSJ after he paroled from the III yard at susanville, I had to rethink stuff too. I was always down for the norte, but I never took the commitment of S and became a bro, so I aint no dropout. But my whole point in dropping this kite now is to say that if someone like me can put all that shit behind me (been out clean now over 10 years) then maybe somebody who reads this might too. Peace.
