Right now it’s a lot of sangra loma graffiti crossing each other out in San Gabriel by smith park... it’s like every day I see hit ups so lomas has been sliding thru looking
My tio spent some time in El Paso as a young man. He grew to know people in gangs and witnessed the warfare between the groups. When he moved back with his family in East LA he started noticing this same process and result occurring. What he observed in El Paso were groups of kids being purposely pitted against each other by the Texas Rangers to create tension and disunity within the community. And that's exactly what he saw happening in East LA. At first groups of kids organized to compete in sports like baseball, football, boxing, etc. But then the PAL (police athletic league) became involved and worked their way into the different neighborhoods by providing balls, gloves, etc. And once they gained some trust they began setting one group against the other. Realize this was in the 1930s and this, if this rings true, is how and why gangs formed and have continued escalating over the years. This is a matter of implementing a policy of Divide and Rule which states that it is easier to control people when they are divided and not united. To the detriment of individuals and our communities as a whole, this tactic has been effectively used to keep us from realizing our true collective potential.
@@unknownsource4359 I'd like to connect with someone that's done research in this area and explore deeper. Perhaps dig up some documentation from both El Paso and L.A. through the Freedom of Information Act to confirm exactly what was going on and if the formation of gangs to divide us was intentional. You don't really hear about gangs before the 1930s so I'm thinking there's an element of truth to my uncles story.
@@ed9095there were barrios before the 1930s. VNE founders were last generation hunter st( an old defunct barrio that predates the Estrada courts). You also had LA 7th, Macy st, alpine st, barrio Buena vista in what is now elysian park also bishops, barrio Palo verde and la Loma all in Chavez’s ravine. Barrio bunker hill and barrio market in DTLA as well which both survived until the 1950s.
