Reaganomics gave us the gangs!
Before Reagan became President we didn't have gangs or so little nobody even knew they existed.
Dear pathetically retarded DUmmie,
I too lived in the LA basin (on and off) in the 80's. Even in the 70's. And in the 90's, until a few short years ago, I lived in San Diego, LA, and Orange County.
To say there was no such thing as gangs in LA until the 80's? AYFKM?
LINKEven as a child, I knew there were gangs, and until the "touchy-feely" attempts at "rehabilitation", they were kept in check. But it was in the 50's, 60's and 70's that gangs in the larger cities started to really expand; think the forming of the Bloods in the late 60's and early 70's.
No, dear DUmbass, what really caused the explosion of gangs was POLITICIAL in nature--when black gangs combined with the Black Panthers and Hispanic gangs combined with LaRaza, MEChA, et al, and eventually white gangs combining with the Ayran Nation, et al, THAT, dear loser, is when you really saw the gangs explode.
