Gangland

Is it weird of me to marathon Gangland series?

It's like a documentary about the different gangs in America. So far... my top 3 favourite gangs are...

1) Norteños - A Latino gang.

This gang is damn bad ass please. The senior gang members in jail actually nurtured the younger members (also in jail) by imposing a strict regiment of working out, educating them about gang laws, and....asking them to visit the library as frequently as possible. Serious. The inmate interviewed said that he was told to read Sun Tze, Mao Zedong, biographies of political leaders and all. O.O Oh and plus they have a really catchy rap tune which advocates the gang. The tune is still stuck in my head.

2) Pagan's Motorcycle Club

Also very bad ass. All the members owns a Harley-Davidson with a minimum engine force of 900cc...and they are just very very angry violent, intimidating looking men. Like big blocks of raging violence ready to just lash out on you anytime. Their preferred weapon of choice is usually an bat of some sorts, so they just aim for the head and whack your skull to smithereens. Ha ha I just find the image of intimidating looking men on Harley-Davidsons very bad ass. Imagine 50 of those riding on the highway. Right?

2) Ñetas (Ne-a-tas) - Puerto Rican Gang

This gang is probably one of my favourite. They assume themselves to be moral officers in prison, meting out punishment to fellow inmates who are in for rape and pedophiliac crimes. I mean...that's something I kinda don't mind. Since you're in prison already might as well right. Rapists and pedophiles should be on death sentence anyway.

Plus they are the more family orientated gangs around. One of their gang rules is that they are not allowed to use "motherfucker", "son of a bitch", "son of a whore" and stuff like that. No disrespecting mothers, family and all. Quite...umm endearing no?

Ha ha, the thing that made this my favourite gang so far is their determination. Apparently the Ñetas were being targeted in prison by another gang, and the enemy gang colluded with prison officers to have the then-Ñetas' gang leader killed in prison. Instead of being defeated, they dug through cell walls with a friggin' SPOON, reach the leader of the enemy gang, stabbed him 150 times, chopped him up into 84 pieces, smuggled it out of prison and send the pieces to the family and fellow gang members of that enemy gang.

I ain't even gonna think of how they manage to cut up a dead body and smuggle those bloody pieces out of prison without getting caught. If they can dig through cell walls with a SPOON...the possibilities are endless. End of story.

So...am currently in the phase of marathon-ing Gangland on youtube. I'm over the whole criminal shows thing (for now). Sigh sometimes I feel that my taste in shows is just plain weird.
