"This book describes the rise, features, and behavior of street groups in mid-century South Los Angeles. It charts the influence of social factors on the changing culture of neighborhood street sets, describing their behaviors, customs, and values, as remembered by interviewees who were members of these groups in the 1950s and 1960s"--
Ventura exposes how the two major parties have allowed corporations, businesses, and politically motivated wealthy individuals to manipulate elections, bribe elected officials, and silence the average American voter.
“[An] arresting memoir” about one man’s life in an L. A. street gang, from age ten in the 1970s to his prison turnaround twenty-five years later (Publishers Weekly). Colton “C-Loc” Simpson was a Crip. Beginning at the age of ten in the mid-1970s, Simpson’s world was defined in terms of war. By the time he quit, Simpson had risen through the ranks to become Stabilizer and, later, General. Simpson was the son of Dick Simpson, a ballplayer for the California Angels and Cincinnati Reds, but even before he became a gangbanger, his life was rough. Raised by his grandmother in South Central L.A. Simpson didn’t so much turn to the streets as become engulfed by them: without asking to become part of the gang, his forced induction into the Crips meant running don an alley while the members opened fire on him. Inside the Crips is Simpson’s unstinting account—emotional, violent, ugly, and tender—of life inside a gang. You’ll meet intense characters such as Smiley, Simpson’s fellow gangbanger, and heartbreaking ones such as Gina, the mother of two young sons who married Simpson in prison. With a foreword by Ice T “The book provides a window into an often misunderstood way of life.” —Publishers Weekly “The Crips . . . is a famously difficult organization from which to retire alive. . . . This unvarnished portrayal of gang life is enlightening and even inspiring about a subject badly in need of illumination.” —Booklist
When I was a child I tried a whole host of things and I always had the full support of my mother, Carmel Armstrong, and she told me that I could do anything that I put my mind to and I believed her and not only did I believe her, but I have also tried to pass this same message on to others as often as I could and especially to children because there's no greater gift that a human being can give to another than the gift of encouragement. And because of the wonderful and magnificent gift of encouragement, I am currently living my dream of being a published author and I have wanted this title ever since I watched my mother sit in front of her typewriter while filling the pages with words and in case you haven't guessed by now my mother was also a writer. The Playground is a gritty Gangster Novel that takes you on a journey through the lives of Sophia and David Bloom; mother and son who are forced to move to a Housing Project that's located on the Eastside of South Central Los Angeles after a family tragedy robs them of their financial well being. And their move takes place just before the rise of Crack Cocaine and before the decline of Heroin and it puts them in direct contact with dirty Cops, F.B.I. Agents, C.I.A. Operatives, Gangsters, Drug Dealers, White Supremacists, Thieving dope fiends of the worst kind, Revolutionaries or Domestic Terrorists if you prefer, and other shady representatives of the United States Government. But that's just the beginning because you see there's an unbelievable twist to the story that you won't believe. And I invite you to learn who Damu is and who Warlock is.
A memoir of the author's life as a Crip--beginning at the tender age of ten in the mid-seventies--and his prison turnaround nearly twenty-five years later.--From publisher description.
The Rise and Fall of The Crips Brief synopsis: The Rise and Fall of the Crips, is a book that will educate the confused minds of millions of young adults, also those who can’t accept the fall of gang activity becoming unwanted history . . . The book provides gang history, and misleading theory pertaining to the social values that were foolish and adolescent. The drama has left many destined for failure, and death . . .

You’ll find the truth has been documented of all the factual studies, within the short stories and philosophies written by Richard M. Turner, alias Peanut Ric Rock, and a few other gang slogans. From the death of many! to the weakness of a crowd of juvenile delinquents, without fatherhood! The struggle ends with the truth. The drama the misleader ship the lies the manipulation, the murder the rape; by a family of ignorant, confused, human beings. The fall . . . of the Crips! . . .
The graphic details of gang wars and racism is mentioned on a wide world aspect designed to vindicate the minds of the youth whom are involved in gangs, my views are intense and genuine facts, some methods of gang prevention applied can increase life expectancy of gang members seeking to exit before an untimely demise result of being murdered in gang wars. I have discussed many topics relating to gang wars how gang wars are initiated due to many diverse reasons. I truly disagree that there are many books that exist that describe in vivid constructive details of gang war. The very broad story told millions of times but never before with so much intel so exclusively with real people living in the battle zone of the concrete jungles with genuine full fl edge up front exposure. Police offi cers would agree that these views are very enlightening and expressive with vital concepts that are identical to a vet whom have endured many tours of confl ict. The dark side of Watts exposure of the riots of 1965 and 1992 the vague topic of racism that people dodge frequently dropping the ball of unwanted troubles. The truth to combat gangs you must combat racism. Long ago the black panther were groups that evolved to decrease racial confl icts. Today those groups are called gangs. The panthers are where it begin gangs are where it stands now!
