History Channel show: Gangland, anyone watch this?

quantumleap · May 2, 2010

I watch this every time I see it on. Most of the time it has been biker gangs. It's pretty eye-opening the stuff that goes on and the loyalty these gangs have toward their members.

The biker gangs mostly leave the cops alone. But when they put a hit out on a cop then they would get more trouble than it was worth. It gave me a new respect for the danger cops are in.

This show makes me realize that biker gangs are more prevalent than I had thought.

HAT, did you see the show on the PENI gang (Public Enemy Number 1)? They showed how they were active in Huntington Beach and Costa Mesa.

The more of these Gangster shows I watch, the dumber these criminals look. They really scrape the bottom of the barrell of human society.

What is it that most surprises you about these gangs?

I know what you mean. I used to like to watch COPS but after a while it just got to be stupid people who broke the law and the peope were just a bunch of scumbags. I quit watching it.

I'll probably get the same way with this show after I watch it a few more times. It's really opened my eyes as to how people don't care about other human beings.

I watched "Sin Nombre" yesterday (was awarded best director at the sundance festival), pretty good movie imo about a member of MS13, who turns on his gang after they kill his girlfriend.

The biker gangs are a little more interesting. But all of these gangs have the same thing in common. They are totally oblivious of what's going on in the world. They live in their own little society. I was reading the other day that if there was disease outbreak in the U.S. that would be so deadly that it would be sure death if you didn't get inoculated for it, that 20% of the people in this country still wouldn't show up for the shot. These Gangland members look like they fall into the 20 percenters.

I watch it every chance I get, if I'm around when they have the marathon (Monday's I think)I try to watch most of them.

I liked the one about the Ct. gangs out of New Haven, I like the skinhead episode, hell, I like them all, well produced show.

It always amazes me how out of touch these guys are. Pretty scary when you here about gangs of people killing just to kill. It's like a serial killer x1000.

Anyone notice how when they interview gang members they like barley cover their face and they say "The identity was concealed for safety" Like anyone that knows them can tell from their voice and how they look who it is...
