@Stranger you made the right choice homie. You're a family man and got to choose your battles. In no fucking way or form am I ever going to jump a scrap with a fucking gun unless I have an equalizer. Most scraps are misfits but even those motherfuckers can do damage with a gun. The streets are fucking fair, and bullets have no eyes and no names. They hit you and you're dead.

Gangs brawl in S.C.; stabbing suspect sought

SANTA CRUZ — Rival gangs fought with fists, bats and knives during a brawl in the heart of downtown Santa Cruz late Friday night, sparking several other fights that lasted into the early morning, Santa Cruz police said.
The fight erupted when as many as 40 gang members spied each other from opposite sides of Pacific Avenue about 11:30 p.m., as patrons were leaving the Santa Cruz Cinema 9 movie theater, police said.
One brawler was stabbed three times in the back and sent to Dominican Hospital. His wounds, in the area of the kidneys, liver and lungs, were not life-threatening. Police did not release his name, but said he was in his 20s.
"Nobody knew how it happened, but what we’ve heard from witnesses is that it was a ‘we’re wearing red and you’re wearing blue’ type of thing," said Santa Cruz Police Sgt. Scott Campbell.
When police arrived, both Norteno and Sureno gang members were scattering, some with broken noses and other injuries. No arrests were made.
"What happened, and this is not unusual, is that we couldn’t find anyone to identify anyone as being an aggressor," Campbell said.
Hundreds of people were downtown during the fight, with several dozen outside the movie theater.
Eleven officers responded to the gang fight, and 11 Sheriff’s deputies were called in as backup.
Another gang-related stabbing had occurred 45 minutes before in Watsonville. Although he has not investigated the Watsonville incident, Campbell said it’s possible the Santa Cruz fight was retaliatory.
It broke out about 10:45 p.m. as a 23-year-old Gilroy man was walking alone on Beck Street. He was approached by two Latino men who called "chapeta," a slur used by Surenos to insult Nortenos.
The two men attacked the Gilroy man, stabbing him many times with an unknown weapon, Watsonville police said. The man suffered severe stab wounds to his head and neck, police said. He was also stabbed in his left arm as he tried to defend himself.
Garcia was able to make his way to a house on Rogge Street, where he found a resident who took him to Watsonville Community Hospital. Garcia was later flown to Stanford University Medical Center. A nursing supervisor could not report his condition because she said he was listed under an alias.
The victim was flown to a trauma center for treatment.
Back in Santa Cruz, fights increased around 2 a.m. as bars shut down, sending partiers out into the streets. Eight arrests were made for public intoxication and fighting, but they were not gang related.
One Santa Cruz officer said the gang fight created tension on Pacific, which resulted in the smaller fights.
The gang fight is the latest in a string of violent incidents downtown. A UC Berkeley student was attacked a week ago while leaving the Red Room on Cedar Street with his friends about 2 a.m. A man kicked Raven LeClair, 22, in his face, and then he and three others attacked his friends. LeClair’s injuries included a broken jaw.
In May, a man was stabbed on Pacific Avenue outside Borders bookstore about 8 p.m., apparently over a bad batch of heroin. A day earlier, the attacker’s friend had been found dead of a drug overdose in a downtown public bathroom.
Three weeks earlier, two young men were wounded in a shooting police said was gang-related. The gunman fired at least six shots at a group of men fleeing in a minivan on a quiet Tuesday afternoon.
The City Council attempted to address the growing violence, drug dealing and panhandling downtown by approving new measures last month. The measures ban sign-holding panhandlers after sundown, make downtown Hacky Sack and Frisbee players subject to fines, and keep panhandlers and political tables 14 feet from building fronts, exits and crosswalks.

sounds good BUT the next BBQ is supposed to be in Vegas. Yes there are a shitload of cholos there but I don't think their varrios are the ones you plan on touring. I believe you man, it's just that almost everyone on here for SOME reason is always saying the North is on lock and the only "Surenos" up there are a joke. They are downplayed so much at times it seems that they arent a factor whatsoever. Some people love to exaggerate tho I guess.

"Hey, I never seen a sureno, except dead on the ground on the back of a DRF CD, so I went to Santa Cruz and yelled out scrap, then one of them actually tried to come at me. Damn I was surprised how crazy he was, trying to get at me for calling him a scrap! It was insane!"
"Hey, I went to this nigger ass town, full of wetbacks and niggers, and I seen a blacky and called one a nigger! And you know what that crazy coon came right at me with a big piece of fried chicken, and launched a watermelon at me head! Lucky for me the trusty windshield of my Chevrolet pickup truck deflected it, and I ran him over, ain't that shit some shit!"
Think about what you say camel hump. Is the internet where you found out about gangs? You post this wack shit then you try to make up for yourself by typing 'Santa Cruz Norteno' into Google and then posting an article you found?
And people like Vamps and Manolo who say they aren't affiliated but are on here like Vamps "XIV nigga" trying to clown Nortenos left and right
This board gets better and better. Haha
