Misc
I think also separating the gangs into people and folk might be useful. Jmm6f488 19:43, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

It would be, it's just that there are no folk/people gangs listed. Folks/people affiliated gangs did not originate in California. editprotected

you should add the gang TOONERVILLE RIFA 13 (TVR13) to the list of hispanic-american gangs. 01:50, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

WHERE ARE THE MONGOLS?
you should add mongols to either list of hispanic gangs or other. I see every major gang in california EXCEPT the mongols I see hells angles on there so it would only make sense for there rivals to be one this list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.33.252.204 (talk) 19:42, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Dumb ass! Mongols are not a street gang they became a Bike club and with that said we can go in circles all day how its close to a gang they are. But they did there own shit, untill the bad recruitment. And to make a long story short. Several (Mongols) thought to be bad ass's thought they could rob someone, but that was just it.. They robbed the wrong people, these people had connects to the upper echelon and you dont rob from Uncle Eme! Uncle Eme stepped in where he said mongols made a mistake and this mistake was a price to be delt for. Mistakes, and bad recruitment had to be fix (TAXES) were enforced. So then mongols had a there own meeting where they said no to taxes. So it was a war that Mongols would never ever win. Uncle Eme sent his soldiers "SUR" to crush them and they were getting killed in the streets, bars etc. And even the CDC they got rolled up, stuck in the county jail and in the joint with a 113 beat down anyway in the california CDC they were! They had there own PC Green Lighted dorms, they were moose heads where ever they went. They did not even flash there colors in the street to scared to be killed they were a grip that were droping out as well. They had thousands of Mongols members but it was nothing compared to over 50,000 members working for Uncle Eme alone just in So Cal. So again long story short, they did not win a battle or a war. And now they do pay TAXES like every So Cal Gangs so they had to bow down to Uncle Eme. But from what I see they are not forgivin by alot of SUR and alot of Mongols still have there own PC Green light dorms. Mongols are recruiting left and right, but the taxes wont never change so mongols pay, Mongols are just there own breed, and Uncle Eme just had to put them in there place thats if you want to cross another high organized crime syndicate like La Eme.

So maybe put them under outlaw motorcycle club not street gangs.

Gangster Disciples
There are Gangster Disciples in California. They can be found in Orange County and San Diego County. If you have Vice Lords up there, G.D.s should also be up there. There are just as many G.D.s as Vice Lords in California.

"The Gangster Disciples gang is becoming more active in northern San Diego County. It is apparently trying to unite African-American gangs that operate in areas such as Oceanside and San Marcos under its control. According to law enforcement sources, the Gangster Disciples gang has been in the area about 1¾ years. Law enforcement has identified approximately 80 members of the gang and estimates its numbers at 200 to 250. The Gangster Disciples gang deals almost exclusively in powdered and crack cocaine, and it taxes other dealers who distribute drugs in areas under its control. The gang is also known to deal in weapons. "

"A group of African-American gangs in the Englewood area of Chicago formed the Black Gangster Disciple Nation gang in the late 1960s. It is primarily engaged in street-level distribution of narcotics and is known to use extortion against rival drug dealers. The Black Gangster Disciple Nation has since extended its membership and influence to a number of other cities and states including California."

Spanish Gangster Disciples also have a presence here.

You should add Yolas Parque 13
Yolas Parque is a hood in Woodland 530 Ca. located at the Yolano Village apartments and Doneli CrYolas which stands for (You Only Live as A Sureno) Is composed of two fairly large gangs Y.P.S. (Yolano Parke Surenos) or (Yolas Parke Surenos) and E.S.T. (Eastside Trece) their enemys are the Nortenos and all black people and they constantly terrorise Cambell Park which is Norteno terratory. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.245.117.101 (talk) 05:23, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Harrison Gents
Latin gang, allied with Folks (Latin Folks,Gangster Discipless etc.). They can be found in El Cajon California.

I know there is Insane Ashland Vikings .....Latino Folks 720 first cousins to the GDs like all other Latino Folks, they got Latin Kings that ride with Surenos ..weak

Lincoln and Maine

Lexington and Van Houghton

Theses Gents originated from the Chicago Rogers Park Harrison Gents. Other HGs can be found in Escondido. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.88.20.66 (talk) 01:24, 24 December 2008 (UTC) to be very honest with you im from chciago and the harrison gents arent much of a factor im surprised there any where outside of the few hoods they have in chicago —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.150.126.139 (talk) 00:28, 11 January 2009 (UTC) I'm adding this article because I'm the leader for the Harrison Gentz in San Diego Californiiia and I'm just setting the record Str8. I was ask to come to cali and start a chapter out here to bring our vision to other states to show how organize we are.we are so well that we have a sister hood AKTGN......Almighty Kutt throat Gangsterz Nation. we will continue to build in a productive manner.

Lame
This whole article is lame. There are like 10,000 gangs in LA and there's a total of five "Hispanic" gangs and two of those are prison gangs. Where's Venice-13 and Reseda-13, to name two missing gangs.

White Gangs? You realize the Sydney Ducks haven't existed in 100 years right? Why not the Mickey Mouse Club and some of the Stoner gangs?

This article is made by a white man and you know it.

this list is racist
the gangs are seperated by race. thats racist!!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.167.254.27 (talk) 04:37, 30 August 2011 (UTC) well thats how it is in the streets. gangs are separated by race in prisons for sure and alot in the streets so thats why. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.240.152.85 (talk) 05:08, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

this list is horribly incomplete
- All of the white gangs listed except for 2 are white supremacist, there are many non white supremacist caucasian gangs in california.

- The Nazi Lowriders are primarily Hispanic, not caucasian.

- There are no african american gangs listed. Not even the Crips and Bloods. Bloods are still active in west LA, and last I heard, Crips are still in east LA. In fact, last I checked, Snoop Dogg still lives in LA and as long as there is a triple OG crip out there bangin I'm pretty sure you need to include Crips on the list. Lets be real here, you could have some random person from Kansas write this list and the FIRST thing they would write is Crips and Bloods so the fact that they are not included is CLEARLY on purpose, and seems very divisive to me. And also, there are a LOT of black gangs in oakland. Maybe not as many as hispanic, but Ill tell you this, there are far more black gangs in Cali than there are Asian and they are on the list....so whats up with that?? And beyond that, in Oakland, the hispanic gangs VERY RARELY kill anyone. Whereas the black gangsters are murdering each other left and right. Over 90% of murders in oakland are black on black, and though the cops like to CLAIM that most aren't gang related, lets be honest, more than 90% are...

- this list is also missing the Gangster Disciples, but its missing ALL black gangs....so go figure.

- Its missing the Vice Lords

- Its missing the Latin Kings, yes, they are allied with Nortenos, but they are not Nortenos.

So yeah, put together

1. the misclassification of a hispanic gang as white JUST because it has the word nazi in it

2. the fact that pretty much all the white gangs listed are white supremacist gangs, and

3. the fact that no black gangs are listed not even the incredibly obvious crips and bloods.

And you get that this List really DOES seem racist. It almost seems like someone is trying to whitewash the fact that there are still a LOT of black gangs out there and simultaneously trying to make white people out to seem worse than they really are.

Which is really offensive to me considering that 35% of gang members are african american and only 14% of all gang members are caucasian. source: http://www.ojjdp.gov/pubs/96natyouthgangsrvy/surv_6c.html


 * Don't listen to this guy. He is essentially just making up assertions and stats while wildly speculating on topics he clearly doesn't know anything about.
 * Plus, I have to point out this blatant piece of fiction: "The Nazi Lowriders are primarily Hispanic, not caucasian." This is nowhere near true, as documented by loads of evidence from law enforcement and the gang's own mouth. They have the occasional mixed heritage person, but they are a white power prison gang. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.227.83.211 (talk) 17:20, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
