I agree, gangs are cowards. They cannot fight 1 on 1 , I have been jumped many times by 3-4 guys. i dont understand why the police do not pull over these gang bangers on the street to see if they got drugs or weapons,

LOCK EM ALL UP !

I think you need to take into account that not all members of a mob want to participate in such beatings. They are drawn in by peer pressure and group think--by fear that their friends wont think they're "men."

rogers park guy: your keyboard bravado is just that. anyone can fantasize being brave (or stupid) by claiming he or she alone could actually "whoop the shit" out of a group of tough young males. That only happens in movies like Billy Jack.

Yeah, mob action ain't fair--but too fuckin' bad, ya know what Im sayin?

billyjoe i use to fight a lot only once have i fought one on one and that was the only one i lost and that was 5th or 6th grade. especially throughout high school always stood my ground and it always happens time and time again you start whooping one of them real bad and his "friends" will run off and leave him hanging. but those that dont theyll get it too.. theres an art in fighting someone taught me..and when gang bangers swing they just swing like crazy all you have to do is not panicand aim at any key points in the body and theyll be on the ground in no time they can even die but hey self defense...but then again gangs are cowards and they will pull of a gun and shoot

I heart the R.P. said...

It's gotten pretty bad lately. I feel a lot more unsafe walking the streets around here than I did two or three years ago. When are these CAP meetings again?

I agree with rogers park guy. Back in the day, we didn't necessarily need a "posse" to take care of business with one person. When the fight was over, it was over. None of this going back to get weapons to soothe one's pride.

blah blah balh....

You assume that none of these guys are carrying weapons?

OMG What the hell has happened to RP. I lived there many years ago and it use to be a great place. Now it sounds like the old "south side" has moved north.

I walk regularly down Rogers and Damen. I drive down, as well. I don't see much other than a few kids playing hoops. There is a squad car parked in the Potawattomi Park lot. A small group sometimes gathers on the north side of the park by Jordan Community. 1927 W. Chase? That must be a block south of Rogers, because the 2000 block terminates into apartments at Damen. My recall is that there is a regular drinking party on the west side of the damen south of Rogers.

The cops don't close it down, so go figure.

Oh wow I just moved in to the neighborhood.
