Yo Block do you have any thoughts about the 40 people shot and I believe 8 killed this weekend in Chicago. I'm safe on the North side but is there a gang war brewing that the news is not reporting.

I do have thoughts on the 40 or so shooting and 10 people dead last weekend. It's been 50 below ZERO the entire winter. They don't like the cold. You feel me?
The WEST SIDE looks like someone kicked over an Ant hill right now with Chicago being in the 70's and sunny. Every year when the weather breaks err-body acts a dam fool! Mofo's don't know how to act. 11 and 13yr olds hanging out on the corner at 1am? It isn't the guns. It's the parents. It's the dangerous minorities who use them. Inanimate objects can't hurt anybody.
There are always gang wars brewing in Chicago. The City of Gangsters. Gangsta City. Chicago is the street gang capital of the Earth. Not L.A. but Chicago.
The West Side and all of Chicago, including the north-side is fueled with gangs. It grows bigger and bigger every day.
I live on the northside now, to. Edison Park.

I got $10 says Deshaun was "keepin it real" the whole time.

LOL, I always wanted to know how in the world they can expect the avg person to understand their "message" with some made up gibberish like that, seriously .
I hear some gangbangers talk about markin' their turf and telling it like it is with all this sign language crap, they just made up. It is like being with a bunch of deaf folks and not knowing any sign language.
Didn't they ever stop and think, hmmmmmm, if we post symbols nobody but our gang understands , how will we get our message out? I applaud the guy for getting on with his life, that does show some intelligence.
But, he does seem to still glorify the gang life a tad with his story I think?
Anyhoo, it always strikes me how that even in a gang, the guys at the top tend to be the smarter ones overall, hmmmmmm.

I guess their culture, symbolism and code isn't for the average SQUARE to understand, Howard.
To give you a slight clue...the Folk Nation gangs use a 6 point star in their graffiti and symbols. Why? The symbol of King David. In Folk Nation world, 'Kind David' was a cat named David Barksdale who in November of 1978 created the Black Disciples gang. That was their tribute to him. The 'star of David.'
-
how old is Dashaun?
-
Block, isn't the 6 point star a west coast thing and 5 point star an east coast thing? I remember my brother teaching about all this when he was really into gangsta rap during the Tupac and Biggie days. Same with blue and black and red and black?

Negative. It originates from Chicago. All of it does. www.chicagogangs.org
In L.A. it's Blood and Crip gangs. Slobs and Crabs aren't really under an alliance. Not like how it is in Chicago. In Chicago the gangs fall under the PEOPLE(5 point star/ bust hat to the left) Nation and the FOLK Nation (6 point star / bust hat to the right) .
Gangs in Chicago known to wear black and blue would be the Gangster Disciples(folk) and the red and black would be the Vice Lords(people). That is our version of Bloods and Crips.
In the penn and on the streets the crips would most likely roll with FOLKS and Bloods roll with PEOPLE...hence, DeShaun saying "All is Well".

WHAT UP BLOOD?!

how old is Dashaun?
I think he said he was 28 during the interview.
Re: What Howie said, I think it's nearly impossible to accurately describe where gangbangers are coming from and their mindset without providing plenty of details. And of course, no one wants to read a book about an OG without the gory details. I mean, would you rather hear about the drive-by or the dominoes match after the drive-by?
Anyway, Dashaun's story is no different than plenty of my former students and Howie's and Determinator's and GHGut's students and your fellow classmates from high school. Lack of parents, lack of guidance, and terrible role models is the breeding ground for gang activity. The real horror is the recruitment of elementary school kids (Dashaun was in 5th grade when he pulled the trigger on his first drive-by) to murder people. Like Dae said, the recruitment of child soldiers is a part of the creation of remorseless monsters that we see amongst the tribal warfare in the Congo, Somalia, Sierra Leone, Sudan, and other parts of Africa, as well as in Brazil and exemplified in the excellent film 'City of God'.
I briefly taught 7th/8th grade in South Ozone Park Queens. I had a few Bloods in my self-contained class (lockdown) and by that age, most of them were already impossible for me to get through to. One of my former students/bloods was a 14 year old kid who used to threaten to "smoke me" and "burn me" named Shamel Hollenquest. He is now serving 2 consecutive 50-year terms for shooting two men in the head and killing both of them as they sat in their car.
Dae's spiritual advisor and "father" now is none other than T.Rodgers, the founder of the Bloods from LA.

T.Rodgers was originally from ChiTown and served as a Black P-Stone. People Nation gang. Wear red.
He moved to L.A. to get out of the gang life in the mid 1970's and escapes to the City of Angels where he notices local youth being bullied, intimidated and threatned by thugs who wore blue and called themselved Crips(because they walked with a cane, which they used as a weapon so it was short fo 'cripples'.). He thought RED would be an oppisite of BLUE. He estimated that 2 and 2 was 4 and the most famous thing we all know that is RED is Blood. The Bloods. Plus...it was his way of paying tribute to the gang he first started putting in work for...the Stones.
I give it an hour and someone chimes in about gangbangers being pussies and how they know a guy who is skilled in Brazillian jujitsu and muy thai and will take down any gangbanger without a gun blah blah blah.

Actually, the only thing that is known to scare off both Bloods AND Crips is the legendary camouflage Tapout Shirt.
