The politics on yards in other states aren't always what you'd assume if you're only familiar with CA prisons.
Vegas/Nevada yards likely aren't like CA, since a lot of the guys who end up in NV prisons had left CA prior, to leave CA gang politics.
Politics have their place in prison, but a lot of time it's politics for the sake of politics. I.e. if you get charged with "indecent exposure" for fucking your 32yr old gf in the back of your SUV, in a CA prison that's viewed the same as raping a 3yr old.
Hence, war machine walking GP. Dudes might think, "oh, this dude is already kinda a psychopath, fights for a living, juiced up.. finds his equally whoreish-psychopath pornstar cumguzzler gf with a dick in her mouth and flips out... Seems like an understandable reaction, given all the info"... And see he's not really, probably anyway, a little dweeb who just beats on helpless girls to make himself feel better... This dude also beats on dudes in parking lots, bars, grocery stores, 7-11's etc... Dude seems to kinda "be about that life", and it's best give him a wide berth, cuz they may break his jaw, but it'll cost their jaw as well.
