Gangs in your area?

Zero gang activity around Hillsboro, IL as far as I can tell and I've lived here almost 2.5 years. We don't even have to lock our doors at night.

Well, good luck with that considering that more than half the homes around here likely have a firearm of some kind inside the house. So that still leaves you with a 40-50% chance of getting out alive. The question is, do you feel lucky?

Crips, Bloods, MS-13, Palm City, Imperials, biker gangs (Hells Angels, Mongols mainly with other smaller ones), some asian gangs that I don't know the names to, possible Latin Kings (I've seen some graffitti with crowns on it)....I'm sure there's more around here but I'm not all too familiar with their names.

We have a major drug and gang issue here. You can't even go to gas station without the possibilty of getting attacked. My Mom has almost been 3 times at a gas station, and recently she came very close. Long story short, she was pumping gas, Dad went to go pay, and this thug was walking straight toward her getting ready to shoot. My Dad was right behind his a$$ getting ready to shank him.

Another story, sometimes my Mom and I like to do our annual night shopping trip in December. It was 10:30 one night, we were pulling up on a stoplight and this thug was getting ready to pull out a sawed off shotgun. My Mom hit that gas pedal like her life literally depended on it.

I have three major drug houses that live around me. DEA has been here once, but they didn't catch anything important. UCs stick out like a sore thumb in their Crown Victorias but they are getting smarter. Also we have a little drug war turf going on too. Anytime you see more than one pair of shoes hanging from telephone lines, then that's a battle ground.

And normally I don't like to involve race but this particular topic I will. To be frank, the black gangs here are more vicious and daring than the hispanics. My Mom is white, and she's never had issues with the hispanic gangs here, but it's the blacks she has had most of her near death experiences with. The black gangs don't have a problem involving civilians, where as the hispanics seem to have this code of honor. And I have to respect that.

I used to live in South San Diego Imperial Beach!! It dont get more ghetto huh!!??

That is absurd. I wish I had that. My sis lives right by me and she has 2 bolt locks and 2 pitbulls and someone still tried to break in. lol. Hillsboro is awesome!

Oh yeah.....we've got the Taliban too, and they have rockets and bombs.
