You post says your city is old from 1908, they are using the term barrio in terms of what its really meant, not the slang form as we now know as Varrio. There weren't even any L.A. Gangs in 1908 but the city of Orange did? No, it had a barrio, meaning, loosley coined as a "Mexican Neighborhood", but not Barrio in the sense of a gang.
So congrats, you live in an old ass city but your gang is not old not unless you don't understand the true meaning of the word Barrio, which was never intended to mean gang.
San Jose has one of the oldest "Mexican Neighborhoods" in the entire state as well, but gang culture is not as old as L.A.'s, just like the beautiful city of Orange.
So stop now, if you continue to stay the course of your argument I will start to suspect your comphrension of written dialoge is below average at best.

SO YOUR SAYING THAT THE BARRIO COULD HAVE BEEN THERE BUT NOT THE ROOTS OF THE GANG? EVEN THOUGH THOSE SAME PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN THE BARRIO, RELATIVES AND FAMILY FILL THE RANKS OF THE GANG? AND HAVE FOR MANY GENERATIONS...
HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? ISNT MOST EVERY GANGS ORIGINS A VARRIO OR GHETTO? OR LABELED A GANG EVENTUALLY?SO PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME?
AND THIS PLACE DIDNT EVEN LOOK LIKE THE PLACE YOU SEEN UP UNTIL RECENTLY, AT LEAST AS FAR AS THE TOURIST AREA YOU VISITED. AND GANGBANGING ISNT WHAT IT ONCE WAS IN THE 90'S AND BEFORE THE THREE STRIKE LAWS,AND THATS ALL OVER...BUT OUR HISTORY AND PLACE IN THESE ORANGE COUNTY STREETS CANT BE DENIED BY SOMEBODY WHO HAS NO UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT A VARRIO IS.
LIKE I SAID READ TWO BADGES IF YOU WANT SOME OUTSIDE UN BIASED HISTORY ON MY HOOD AND IT'S PLACE IN THE GAME.
