You obviously aren't lying because you know that this area used to be Irish and Italian. I have both friends and family that grew up here in LS, like many they moved out to follow careers. I am pretty confidant you won't see gangs taking doing anything but sending themselves to jail if they come here, and things are still getting better. I go to church at Sylvesters sometimes. Did you know it used to be Irish in ethnicity? The names on the stained glass art on the walls are all Irish families that lived in the area. Also, when you go, you will learn the people in the neighborhood, and also see how devote our hispanics are. I rarely see white people moved by god the way the hispanics are.

Let me guess you are hispanic and have biases against whites. Or perhaps you are one of those white people that have a huge white inferiority complex and you hate yourself.

You're not alone, I live in a suburb full of gangs. When I was still in grade school, I used to hang around several gang members(mostly Black P. Stones), even though I was never in a gang. I knew several people that been to jail and juvenile. One guy at the end of my block is still in prison for robbery. It was almost a mandatory to at least know some gang members for decreasing your chance of getting beat up or harrassed.

You guess incorrectly. I am white, Irish in fact, and I do love myself, very much. I'd get into the details but it would probably just depress you...

i dont know about decreasing your chances of getting beat up it almost assures it being seen with any gang member guilty by association if you hung or were seen with one rivals almost would lick thier chops if they seen you alone ?
