Randy we never ran them off thats my point, the original and old school just ducked their heads down and bidded their time.  Thats what they do.  They get young kids to do their dirt for them.  Like I said they were never gone, you just assumed they were.

Im speaking from the perspective of one who knew some of these gang members.  They never left, they just kept their heads down and noses clean for a lil bit of time.  Trust me when I say they are back in business and active and gained a lot of knowledge and insight from the time they spent either behind bars or tucked away at home.  

If you want to find out if there's truth to it, you need to go be a street person.  I prefer to simply talk to kids who deal with street folks than to become one.  I try to keep them from getting in too deep into the lifestyle.  Some kids I help, others cant be helped.  You do what you can.
