Gangsta

[Louis VI the Fat]

A member of one of them was trying to threaten me once that he was in a gang, and I told him to bring his gang down and I would hospitalize the lot of them. Ever since then, members of the gang call me 'hater' and avoid me. :P

Yeah, something similar happened to me too.

I was once walking down the street, alone, three o'clock at night, when I happenstanced upon a drug transaction going on. There were six guys, armed with knifes, guns, the lot. They were selling some cocaine to four other guys, huge, tall, pumped up.

I told them to get out of my way. They didn't respond. I told them again, as I usually do - everybody deserves a fair chance. Again they wouldn't move. So they left me no choice but to take them on.

Now I had been a car crash the week before, so one of my arms was broken, and I was in a wheelchair. Only my left arm was functioning, albeit only my pinkie. But that doesn't deter a tough guy like me. I immediately broke the jaw bones of the two guys closest to me with my left pinkie. Then I headbutted two of the other gang, who passed out. Four of them ran away in fright. The remaining fifteen pulled out their guns. Now I had to act fast. I threatened I would hospitalise each and everyone of them if they would not shove their guns up their rear and sing the Marseillaise. Only six of them complied. I stared the other forty down, willing them into submission. Some started crying for their mums, some even wet their pants. It was too late for them now. I had to unleash my fury, for there's no going back for me once a fight has come this far.
I battered and bruised the lot of them, crushing bones left and right, catching with my right hand the gold teeth I knocked out with my left. With my toes, I dialed sixty ambulances for them.

Even though they still sell drugs, they never bothered me again. I hear they've even employed 'spotters' who warn their gangs when I walk the streets, which they then abandon in fright.

I have tried to stay out of the Frontroom (i'm not doing a very good job of that) so far to try to direct my posting in the gaming side. Unfortunately I have to step in here, and what I have to say could go in any of a few Frontroom threads.

I just can't get my head around the States, nothing seems to compare to the UK in terms of the general ideologies of the population. More precisely the younger generations. If I walked through "Gang" areas here and were threatened I would have had to have done something to provoke them. Keep your head down and nothing happens. Sometimes you will get the odd trouble maker who will start something but not often.

For one of these groups to start calling you "hater" makes me think that you ran into the local 10 year olds! Threaten to hospitalise a gang of hoodies, chavs w/e over here you will be hurt. More than likely badly as UK adolescent/ young males (or females) stereotypically have no idea of when to stop the beatings.

This leads me on to another thread but it ties in here. It is referring to "stand-offs" in bars. Excuse me? Attempt a stand-off over here and it wouldn't last long, bottles, tables, fists etc would be crashing in before you could say " lets have a stand-...". Ahem.

Then of course it would be dispersed quickly by the bouncers but only to be taken outside, which is much, much worse.

I don't live in a rough area, not by a long stretch. I don't frequent rough bars neither. Much of this sounds like forum hyperboles but it really is aggravating to read. Please cut it out lads nobody is interested in this kind of posturing.

You clearly don't understand

Here at the Org fights are common place, not only common place but we win all of them, most often against seemingly insurmountable odds

[gaelic cowboy]

Seriously VUK what age were they 12

If you walk in gang areas in Ireland and threaten to put them in hospital then your family will be attending a funeral fairly soon. You don't mess with the likes of the Irish drug gangs or the IRA, you walk through there areas and you SHUT your mouth.

I thought fights were fairly rare since Orgers frown all the time without meaning to and scare people...unless they're wearing glasses.

EDIT: See MRD's post above for a better explanation. Some weeks back there was a drive-by in they city I work in. Luckily the shooters were crap shots. And apparently their target pulled a gun and shot back. The police caught them shortly thereafter, but haven't managed to charge anyone but the driver.

I'd take it a step further and say the police failed to charge anyone at all, mostly because it's not the police who get to charge people with crimes. Perhaps they committed some gross incompetence while gathering evidence or witness statements, although that seems unlikely since they did apparently find the guys. More likely the DA (or ADA, etc.) believes there is not enough evidence to make a case against the others yet, and is waiting until he has enough that the case against them wouldn't immediately be thrown out. Or any one of a ton of other reasons a District Attorney would either wait before charging, or decide not to altogether.

The "gangstas" you see hanging outside middle class mostly white areas are not the same gangsters you find working the inner city. Discretion is a top priority if you plan on "making it" long term, any that I have met were VERY low key about themselves unless they were within their own turf, and even then dodgy at best. Most gangs have enforcers, these people are the ones who back up the dealer's words with action, they don't care about you, their main impulse is "I really hope this person doesn't come up with the money..." What you encountered were not "gangsta's" but street toughs, if they are affiliated with a gang (and they probably are not), they're probably seen as cannon fodder.

You are correct that I should be frustrated at the DA, since I've read nothing about the police mishandling evidence in the case.

EDIT: what's a fitted cap? Is it one of those ridiculous way too big caps? Youngsters wear that here as well, together with pants that are way too big for them. Oh well, everybody dressed awfully during their teenage days, including me, so I won't hold it against them. The more ridiculous, the better since it gives me the right to complain about those "useless lazy youngsters nowadays". Eventually they'll get a haircut, a mortgage and a job.

I think it's a peaked baseball cap thingy...

Where I live some of the adults dress like that, not just the teenagers... usually with the crotch of the trousers down around the knees, finished off nicely with several fake gold sovereign rings on each hand and a piece of "Elizabeth Duke" 9 caret gold dog leash chain around their neck...
