Working where I did, I had close contact with every major street and prison gang in California.
Growing up in Fresno I had to deal with a few gangs when I was a kid.

Had to deal with them a bit growing up (lived in a very latino area of WA) but nothing too serious. They mostly just beat each other up all the time.

Knew a ton of them growing up in S Tacoma. They'd do drive-bys on the house next door (which was a crackhouse). Went to school with lots of them.
Was never in one, got asked a couple of times. They were always cool with me but I steered largely clear.

It ain't Compton, but there are some pretty terrible areas. A month after we moved out of the 'hood someone dumped a bullet-riddled body in the alley behind our house. It was that kind of place.

I once had a a bisexual girlfriend in junior high who claimed to be a latin queen. She was cute and seemed totally harmless though.
I have some other stories too but none of you would ever believe me. In fact, none of you probably believe that I ever had a cute bisexual girlfriend.

It's funny that we glorify Vikings and other killers of the past yet consider Gang Members to be scum in every way.
In some ways the gang mentality is just a modern day warrior code/tribe. Many of them really do not fear death or injury at all.

Who said I glorify Vikings? They are crap, just like pretty much every army that ever existed, raping people, stealing from them and killing as they wanted too.

Vikings amassed great wealth and power though, they put fear into the hearts of Kingdoms and started their own Kingdoms on the backs of their conquests.

Not sure if you know the size/wealth of some of the gang networks, or how much pressure they put on countries, with just relatively few people.

I grew up in a rural area outside Sacramento, CA, as a middle-class Caucasian. The only thing I heard about gangs was news from New York or L.A. Oh, and I saw the movie "The Warriors" so of course I have some prejudices built in now.

They have territory they protect with a vengence, they have a hierachy that rules them, they are politically influencial, and they are militant... sounds like a nation to me. They are just as recognized as a nation as many of the viking "nations" were.

the vikings never had any nations, they did have kingdoms...and kingdoms were the precursors to nations...
so you're wrong here based on your definition of nation. No gang has a nation (that I'm aware of) and no vikings ever had a nation.

I don't really get this, most gang members do not shy away from a fight, and generally they are a lot braver than your typical person. They train themselves to not fear knives or guns, and to keep fighting after being stabbed/shot.

Train themselves? Is your boyfriend a Crip or something? They're just kids with crappy lives and no reason to hope or believe that anything better than death is coming to them for the rest of their short lives. They're not brave, they're hopeless pawns in someone else's game...

I wasn't refuting any of this.
It takes bravery to go into a knife fight, take a stab wound, and keep going as normal. They actually do train/prepare themselves to be ready for those first fights, so you can't really deny that at all. Of course in prison the training is more intense.
Nice that you resort to dumb gay slights though. Pretty low brow, same humor those 'kids' would use.

They always explained it as that these kids that join gangs are brought in with the feeling that they're joining a family, which many of them have lacked in their lives so far. When you think about it in the context of the love of a brother, their fierce loyalty makes much more sense. I don't think its so much that they train to deal with pain and fear, as much as it is desensitized by living around it their whole lives.

Well even if you see people get shot/stabbed such in the neighborhood, that on its own doesn't do away with the fear of yourself being killed/wounded in combat. You need to prepare for that separately. Although the violent upbringing would help you deal with the aftermath (friends/family dying, not caring that you took a life, etc.).
In some gangs there is a strong sense of brotherhood, in others it is not promoted as much, and greed and competition is strong between members. It's more about getting to the top so you get more money and risk your life less.

Honestly in my experience gang members generally fight in giant ridiculous packs of dudes. They fight like total pussies. 10 guys swarming one guy who looked at one of em funny, and then going back home talking about how badass they were.

Wow... thank you for showing me that everything I've learned at the seminars my job made me goto on Gangs, Gang activity, and Gang mentality was wrong. I'm going to go in and talk to them today and have them bring you in to talk. I mean obviously you with your watching of Gangland have way more knowledge and experience than the guy we have now. He's only spent 35 years researching, dealing with, and investigating gangs.

We had a (small town, affiliated with the red bloods or whatever the name of them is/was) gang headquartered next door to my house as a kid. Never going to forget the SWAT team surrounding it as my mom and I left for a softball tournament that I was in. Took my parents four years to get that house sold.

I paid a gang to watch my double parked rented Lincoln Continental in Harlem where I had a project there once, gack in the 1980's..
I gave them $10/day with the proviso that I would give them $50 on Friday, since I knew I was leaving Thursday night
So back in DC as I was doing my expense report, I put $40 down as "valet parking", and got reimbursed.
