Why are Tongans and Samoans trying to be loke black people with this Blood/Crip mess?

[MrTommYYZ]

It worked. I just got a house on the West Side, as well as a Glock. Its a great neighborhood.

I see these bangers, they are not so tough. they should spend some time where I grew up, you would see some crying gang members.

@chauncy817 I don't care where they grew. Polynesian are a working class people with pride. Not gangbanging.

[chauncy817]

@breezwonder maybe cause they grew up in neighborhoods where colors ran the block u dumbass. why else would they do it. When some of these fools were knee high everybody banged around them so thats what they did. stupid ass question.

@020ShayNrd street gangs are disorganized and they dont make the big bucks. If you from Utah the major play is the Bandidos MC they sell guns, and drugs to street gangs, also last year The DEA found 250 million dollars of weed pants in southern utah, at first they thought to be one of the 8 mexican drug cartels but they all the weed in mexico so it had to the bandidos Mc. Those cat live park city and there club house is right next door to the sundance theator.

@loopy98 Just becasue you have the highest crime rates in utah doesnt mean your like compton, I live in rose park also and I've lived in south salt lake and as a transplant from los angeles it would be true to say utah doesn't know what real crime is. Every city has their problems, just be thankful utah is one of the safest states in america, Ive seen little places in southern Idaho and washington state That are way worse than any place in utah.

@carloss107 HAHA fool I just moved to south salt lake from los angeles and the so-called worst cities in utah don't even come close to being as ghetto as the safest city in LA, so quit runnin your mouth, people in utah have no reason to bang, and utah is like the safest state/place in the world and Ive been all through ogden and slc and I've seen places in idaho worse than here...lol, and don't embrace the "HOOD' be thankful your state isn't full of drugs, crime and murder and quit lying.
