You can't go out after 8 over here. Then, if you go to the REALLY bad areas like Watts and Compton...ugh...sh*t's bad. Gangs rule my school. Mostly all hispanic gangs.

Watch the movie Colors. That movie does a good job portraying how it is. It is mostly from a cop's point of view so you might like it.
The Ethnic cleansing going on between the Blacks and the Latinos. This isn't something new either, its been going on for about four years and no body has said a thing about it. the police can't stop it either, for one they don't know who's really behind it, second a lot of the police officers are on the payroll, and third they don't have the fire power. If you want to know more read the book "Ethnic Cleansing; not just a third world polocy". that book will change the way your precieve a lot of things. I've done some research into what I found and I was shocked by this sh*t.I had a link from the New York times about this, but it's dead now.

Why don;t you go get a life like me since I'm so much cooler than you are. I'm the best basketball player in my state, I'm dating a chick that's hotter than Jessica Alba, and I'm the most popular and badass kid in my grade.</div>I agree. This whole post is the best I've read in a while. Sums it up for me as well. I have a very similar situation.
You guys are ruining the seriousness of this thread. Maybe if you lived here you wouldn't be making jokes.
Its not just LA like that....I think I heard a statistic that 2 people are murdered everyday in the Memphis metropolitan area, and if everybody were caught for their crimes, 12 people a day will be charged with either murder or attempted murder. Its like that in most major cities...

MURDERS YEAR TO DATE 2007 LOS ANGELES COUNTY 174 YEAR TOTAL 2006 LOS ANGELES COUNTY 402 I'm pretty sure LA isn't the worst though. Detroit is pretty rough and I'm pretty sure had more murders. It's nothing to be proud of though.

sh*t's crazy. If any of ya'll seen Gridiron Gang it has a little bit of reasoning behind it all in the L.A. area.

I live in a middle class neighborhood but I've been in bad areas before and in no way am I ignorant about what it's like.Edit: NOballer just slightly proved my point considering I live right near both Richmind and Oakland and LA isn't even on there.
