      East Coast Asian gangs operated differently more low key. They had nothing comparable to the Asian gang wars like in Cali. Every hood was fighting each other, it got to a point where they had to fight many Hispanic/Latino gangs that got the green light from the Mexican Mafia to target every and any Asian gang back then. It was all out wars on so many different fronts.

      @@GoldKunai you’d be surprised. I was brought up in a healthy middle-class family in Canada and this lifestyle existed up here as well. However, instead of guns - it was machetes and metal pipes. It didn’t help that Asian films romanticized the triad-life either.
      It is very much a part of the Asian American, or Asian Canadian experience.
      As dangerous as it was though, that bond and family connection with those who weren’t blood runs deep. Life is peaceful now and I’m happy for it, and count my blessings. But it’s missing something that those times had.

    There is only one way to describe it. That hole in us can only be filled by the holy spirit but we attempt to stuff other things in that hole laying there waiting for the wires of our brain to get cut and quietly rearranged. But if its not God making those changes life becomes one giant cope. Where we search endlessly for knowledge but not in truth. So we go from echo chamber to echo chamber but all these paths lead to God or a need for God and then its simple. There is only one true God.
    Cheers and blessings!

    These are still kids. Asian gang peaked in the early -mid 90s.. many were refugees Vietnam so they experienced some messed up stuff. And 80s HK gangs. The younger ones trying to impress the older ones were my age (mid teens). Also no internet, connectivity meant hanging out with your crew, going to pool halls, etc. This Johnny person would have been following in the later footsteps when it was just cool to be thuggin in the 2000s emulating those gangs from the 90s and 80s.
