      Los Ángeles del Infierno y los Bloods planean erradicar el grupo de crimen organizado Komarovskaya y Usvyatsov-Putyrsky para el verano de 2023 eliminando su jerarquía, altos rangos y líderes. Quieren cerrar la ruta de la droga sudamericana hacia Europa, debilitando al Cartel del Golfo, Cartel de La Familia, Cartel de Cali y Cartel de Medellín para luego sacarlos también como los rusos haciendo que la alianza Hells Angels y Bloods sea más influyente y poderosa. en Centro y Sudamérica. Tengo acceso a información de Hells Angels y Bloods de alto rango. Ellos negarán esto hasta que se haga, pero no esperes a que sea demasiado tarde para prevenir lo que viene, tienes que informar a tus líderes. Debes salvar el trabajo de tus antepasados ​​boicoteando y matando a los miembros locales de Hells Angels y Bloods, líderes de capítulos y líderes de alto rango lo antes posible, cuanto más alto sea el rango, mejor, pero un miembro sigue siendo un miembro. Es hora, mañana puede ser demasiado tarde. Creen que sus objetivos no se darán cuenta y evitarán su caída antes de que sea demasiado tarde, pero desafortunadamente la información salió a la luz. ¡Haz tu parte para que esto no suceda, demuestra tu valía! ¡Por el arduo trabajo y los sacrificios de los ancestros y por el futuro de los niños!

    I just wanted to say thank you for doing a segment on the Chicana lifestyle, I love what your doing, highlighting the Chicano and Chicana culture, its a beautiful thing/movement. Old School LA will never Die, I'm glad that the youngsters are holding on and taking over this beautiful culture. We are a rare breed that bleed just like you, it's a hard knock life growing up in the streets, we keep it going by fighting for our needs, it's not easy but really what is, we embrace what god has given to us, if you try to taketh away, we will not let you, we work too damn hard to get what we got and ain't nobody gonna try and stop us from exceeding excelling succeeding and accomplishing whatever it is we want for our future, family, and culture. God bless to all the cholas and cholos who do what they need to do to survive. I could only hope for the violence against each other, neighborhoods and territories to stop and hope that one day, we can all come together as one and get over who runs who and what and have a sick ass huge party and nothing but good times. And the world will see who we really are, good people doing the best we can to keep our culture alive well safe and successful. One Love Peter and to your family, thanks again and props✌🏼 this is how me and my prima greet each other.." Hola Chola" 💚

      It’s also important to keep in mind, that just because someone is Mexican… they are not always expected to be like this. This is Chicano culture not Mexican culture in general. I got told I wasn’t Mexican because I don’t speak like “Chicanos” do. I dress normally. That just forces a stereotype to people. This is just Chicano culture. This doesn’t represent the identity of all Mexicans. Not all of us are part of this..

    Coming from Texas but I was definitely not born in the chicana lifestyle even tho I am chicana. It’s hard to keep up with the culture if you aren’t raised in it. I wish I was because I like embracing it but I can only do so much to put myself in the circle. But congrats and props to those who are spreading the energy.

    Growing up in ELA, there was a sub culture that came from the low rider. As many of our families grew up watching low riders, many of us were into mini trucks and lowered VW’s. I had both. We weren’t cholos and cholas, we were more into the nightclub disco scene. We also cruised Whittier Bl. Just a different section. Would love to see you do a video on this subject. Thanks, keep up the good work.

      That would be awesome. Mini trucks , cha-cha girls, 80s disco was definitely a movement in the late 80s that's sadly overlooked. I grew up in Whittier and though I was too young to partake....it definitely was something essential, cruising on Whittier boulevard also before the violence in the 90s put an end to it.

    Thank you for this video. As a first generation Mexican American, I had a few Tia y Tio that would embrace this culture and I also embraced when I was young ,but as a I got older, I was always stereotyped as a gang member/uneducated/violent/ghetoo etc which made me distance from the Chicano culture. This video seeing the female engineer in her chicana style really put a smile on my face, that I should have never listen to other people's thoughts about my culture. At the age of 27, that works in the operating room, I will start embracing my chicana heritage. Going to start getting some outfits now and gotta find me some hoops lol. Thank you for this video.
