  • South Central LA has a reputation for danger and violence. So I decided to venture in with HoodVlogs to see it for myself. I was fully surprised by the reception I received from the Bloods & Crips. Join me as we journey into a very stimulating world full of crime, community, hope, and despair.

    As a journalist for 20 years, you are doing naturally what we try to teach newcomers - with little success a lot of times - to tell the story, do not be the story. When you did not dance and did not participate in the game, you kept us focusing on the story instead of focusing on you while you were telling it with your brilliant questions. This is genius on so many levels. Great job, Peter.

    I live in LA and have had a few random encounters with gang members, surprisingly every one of them positive. One time two of them helped me change my flat tire at night in a dark parking lot. They could've easily mugged me with little effort, but instead helped me, shook my hand, and went on their way 👍

      Spoken, exhaled human verbalisation (words) are just labels that we use to associate external experiences, to then internalise in our brains.
      Humanity has no label, morals are innate to each individual.
      Someone who leads with humble innate morals/beliefs, will create a ‘hive mind’ conscious. The hive mind mentality is then shared amongst other members, in or out groups - psychologically.
      You can be labelled a gang member but maintain certain morals/beliefs/codes that match of someone of another social class.

      I'm not forcing this but I have the most important information/fact to tell you that you need to believe in. We all are sinners and we must get punished for all of our sins by spending eternity in hell, but God sent Christ, his only Son to take the penalty for all of our sins instead by dying on the cross to save us from going to hell and so we can have eternal life with Christ and God in his kingdom. On the third day after Christ died, Christ rose back from the dead. Christ ascended to heaven and he will come back for his chosen ones and take them to heaven. God bless you and have a good day😁

Then some had the nerve to say I changed or saying things like “oh he thinks he’s this or that cuz he has money now” when really they were just jealous and saw my unchanged personality and every little thing that I did as suddenly being because of me wanting to show off (eating at a nice restaurant more often than before, getting a nice car) etc etc. the GOOD thing about success is it filters out the fakes.

      I'm not forcing this but I have the most important information/fact to tell you that you need to believe in. We all are sinners and we must get punished for all of our sins by spending eternity in hell, but God sent Christ, his only Son to take the penalty for all of our sins instead by dying on the cross to save us from going to hell and so we can have eternal life with Christ and God in his kingdom. On the third day after Christ died, Christ rose back from the dead. Christ ascended to heaven and he will come back for his chosen ones and take them to heaven. God bless you and have a good day😁

Respect each other, Live life the way that makes you happy (bc life is too short/precious) and build community/ family bonds. So different from what is generally communicated in mainstream media which is fear, paranoia and distrust from one another. We all might live different lives but we are not as different as we think.

      They need to get the community right.
      Every gang member knows how gangs started and yet they kill eachother over petty shit.
      If people would get along and work with eachother you could make a beautiful community.
      Many cool characters over there and they got that nice weather , palm trees etc.

It stinks to know that a lot of these dudes really do know better but becasue of their circumstances and environment they dont have much choice to do anything else. I wish we could give more opportunities to more people like this.

      The system literally can’t afford to have that happen, though; it would significantly empty jail and prison cells, leaving the many who profit off them being full broke. The system has to keep that pipeline open.
      And a lot of these “activists,“ as some Compton residents said in another video of Peter’s, don’t really help matters in any purposeful sense; only going to those areas to protest when a police officer kills someone.

      I'm not forcing this but I have the most important information/fact to tell you that you need to believe in. We all are sinners and we must get punished for all of our sins by spending eternity in hell, but God sent Christ, his only Son to take the penalty for all of our sins instead by dying on the cross to save us from going to hell and so we can have eternal life with Christ and God in his kingdom. On the third day after Christ died, Christ rose back from the dead. Christ ascended to heaven and he will come back for his chosen ones and take them to heaven. God bless you and have a good day😁

Capitalism as a system prioritizes opportunity for investors, if you have capital people bring you their ideas so all projects afforded development only in service of established power.
      The lack of opportunity is by design because desperate people are exploitable.

      I was born in December 1982 in Long Beach,CA. My Father's family moved to L.A. from New Orleans in 1971, and my Mom's Family moved from San Antonio to L.A. in 1976. I've been to South Central Twice, first in 1988 and '89 then again in 2007.
      In 1988, my late Aunt stayed off of 56th and Normandy, I saw it as its lowest point during that time. The Boys and Girls Club Centers were WORSE. I saw a nigga get jacked over $80 by like 12 Crips, and saw Mexican Gangs slinging Kilos.
      But in 2007 when I went to meet my Father in person, it was a different story. My Uncle took me to a Bus Stop area in South Central/West Los Angeles close to the mansion where MJ died in 2009 to wait for my Father to show up, and I was told "Crips and Pirus won't mess with you if you just look normal and casual". I saw Dozens drive by heckling each other with signs thinking I was going see a throwdown, it never happened. It was more of a "Representing" Battle with each other.
      I don't feel any hostility towards Crips and Bloods anymore. These NEWER Generations seem to be more levelminded and understanding to each other. Hell, in 1994, the Set that got into a fight with Dooky from Boyz In The Hood, the ABC Bloodz RESENTED Bloodshed and TURNED in and snitched on one of their own after he killed Dooky, Dooky's friend and Paralyzed his GF. They beat him down and DISOWNED him for the killing.

    I work at a county jail, and it's actually easy to get along with a lot of these guys once they're off the streets. It's a sad thing. A lot has to do with environment, a lot has to do with their own choices, but the shitty thing is knowing they could be super successful if they put their energy into something different. Then again, a lot don't have the opportunity to do much different. It just sucks.

    This is such a unique video. He's walking around saying hello to everyone in the neighbourhood. Clearly he's a part of the community, not some gang guy who wants to hurt people. But it makes me wonder what about the kids who get recruited into gangs and who die with drugs, guns and violence. If there has to be a solution, I guess it would have to start by making a connection with the community including people like this young man in the video.

    I live in an estate in Northern Ireland, and i'm always so offended that people judge it straight off the bat via what they've heard or seen in media, without actually knowing anything about it or the people who live in it. It shocks me how much people feel they can judge without knowing. So I love watching someone enter an area perceived as 'all bad' and take a genuine interest in the people who actually live there and the positives as well as negatives. It's important to hear from the people who live it rather than seeing it filtered through multiple media sources.
    One thing I will always say about low income areas is that the sense of community here (and in any other low income area i've been in) is unmatched. I always want to leave my home place but living here I feel safer than I would anywhere else. Weird as that might sound. Here I know I have 100 Grannys, Mums, Aunts, Dads, Neighbours and friends who would drop everything to help me or anyone else in need. Our kids are so protected and our elderly are respected. I don't think anyone gives enough credit to that side of things when they talk about us low income folk. All people want to do is draw attention to gangs, drugs, single mums, whatever else frightens people these days lol.
