I had to go through Athens Park territory the other day, was looking for something to smoke right? And I was like hey this Athens Park apt complex ain't so bad. Twas really nice looking with manicured lawn and playground inside the complex, but there were NO people outside at 3pm on a Thursday, NONE. And then as I left about 15 guys popped outta the woodwork, guns in belt and were like, "Hello". Me and my sister were like "Hello, good afternoon!" If you ever happen to run into red wearing gangbangers, be polite and you'll have no trouble; it's what Bloods are known for to a certain extent, old school respect. Then again this may only apply to Black people as Latinos are bound to get fucked up for being in the wrong neighborhood and Whites are universally left alone as the heat's not worth it. I recently found out my favorite cousin has Piru 3G status, which has nothing to do with the internet. So I just avoid Crip spots as much as possible, but since I live in eighttray territory (Manchester and Van Ness), it tends to be tricky. Keeping it real, when you live in these areas and are a young man, you have little choice but to join up w/ someone or risk constant harassment of you and your family.
