Title: Gangland
Post by: Big N on February 17, 2012, 02:04:20 PM
This show's rating is picking up like a snow ball. Who knew show casing criminals, murderers, convicts, rapists, druggies, cartels, gangsters, mafia, etc would become a TV hit. Does any of you watch this, some or most I'm pretty sure heard of this show. Better than COPS?

I have watch every fucking one of these and I love them. Especially the ones about the biker gangs. If you get the chance watch the one on MS13. Bad mother fuckers.

its entertaining but it take goes a little far in talking about how organised some of these gangs and cartels are half of them are just bumbling idoits nothing like that makes it sound lol I have been around some of these people and organised they where not even when having access to huge amounts of cash it was almost comical some of the shit I have seen. I have seen people sell 100s of pounds or lbs of narcotics a month and not even be able to count the money. And have to call and ask kids and such how much should we have blah blah how much do we have left and have to go start taking apart cars to find they where short 5-10 lbs that have been in the fucking door panel the last 3 months.

I hear ya. Especially when you see all the sects of Crips and Bloods that are basically wanna-bes. That is why I like the biker ones best. What gangs have you had interactions with?

Awesome show, but since it is a show it is geared towards entertaining the viewer and not necessarily displaying all of the facts (i.e. infamous one or two time events that happened rather than day to day operations).

Drug gangs are much more organized than you think.  Think of it this way:  When you walk into McDonalds, who are the first employees that you see?  The zit-faced frycook and perhaps the janitor who has Downs Syndrome.  Does anyone think that it is these people that run McDonald's operations?  Of course not.  It is the same with street gangs....you hear all about the street level crack-slinger but rarely do you get to see the "boss of the block" making 6 figures...and rarer still, the bigger bosses who often have legitimate businesses on the side.

I find it interesting how advanced and organized most are ran also.

Seen it a few times. The narrators voice becomes annoying after awhile.. too dramatic
