- California 200 years ago, looked a lot different than it does today. Back then there were no cars, no tv's or phones, houses didn't even have electricity. But one thing that's the same today as it was back then, is the existence of gangs and gang leaders like Tiburcio Vasquez.

It’s comedy when the Karen’s say go back to your country 😂
He became a bandit in his own land, in his own home, trying to get back what was taken from him in the first place. Same story, different characters!
Can imagine how the indians of that land felt
@@martinjenkins8270well we Mexicans have 40 to 60 percent native blood, so we have those rights also.
@jms6605 more then that my grandma has way more then that.
@@jms6605I don't consider myself Mexican or American. I'm indigenous or indio👌

Please do a story on Joaquin Murrieta. He is also famous in Monterey, CA County for his exploits against the gringos.(Green Coats). Thank you for this insight about Tiburcio Vasquez.
Sad how monterey and vallejo didnt get stolen they gave in to the gringo government because at the time MEXICO CITY did not provide the resources these two villages at the time repeatedly requested. California citizens basically begged to become AMERICAN CITIZENS
Joaquin Murrieta was the one who inspired El Zorro, if I'm not mistaken.
@@OcelotonatiuhI think so
That’s correct.
My Grandpa used to tell me the story of Joaquin Murrieta
Awesome story never heard of the guy! You should also do one on Joaquin Murrieta similar story!
I think he was right in his actions, because after the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed by the U.S. , which recognized and agreed the Mexicans and their lands / property would be respected . The Mexicans would now become American citizens and retain their property, but that did not happen. Infact more then 600 Mexicans would be linched throughout the gold rush .
The "american whiteman" is never to be trusted. They broke their treaties with the indigenous population, they did same with the Mexicans. Hell, they even looked down and mistreated fellow "whites" (Irish and italians).
Ok and what about the stuff Mexicans were doing ?My ancestors were Literally Slaves to Mexicans cause they wouldn't give up their land. Yaqui Natives were treated horrible by Mexicans had them as slaves till the 1900s
@@homestead3314those were white washed Mexicans and we don't claim them, im sorry for your ancestors. 🙏😔🫡
@@homestead3314what about the USA they took it all and Mexicane are half native
Thanks for posting. Vasquez was a complicated man. It’s hard to know what is legend and what is reality. I believe that he wasnt the person who killed those people at the General Store up in Northern California. An interesting side note is that Vasquez was captured in what is now known as West Hollywood. It was part of the La Brea Rancho back then.
I want RDR 3 to be based on this guy’s story.
I agree 💯
What is RDR?
@@berto987Red Dead Redemption ... a video game
@@berto987 red dead redemption is a video game about cowboys in the western days. Pretty great game
@@berto987 I was about to ask the same thing. I bet it's a video game.
According to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, Vasquez was also an "American citizen."
They didn’t care about that if you were brown.
@@alltheangels648he’s brown? Look more olive complexion
The shade of his skin had nothing to do with his right to be a native Mexican American under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo regardless of whether it has always been attempted to be whitewashed .
@@alltheangels648he wasn't brown
Many movies and tv shows were filmed at Vasquez Rocks, thereby encasing him even more into CA history as many people will hear of him thru those.
The whole town Vasquez robbed was Kingman CA. He did this to out do Jesse James, whose gang had robbed the first train in U.S. History. James and Vasquez used to read about each other in the Newspapers one in Missouri, the other in California. Nobody before or after Vasquez has taken over and robbed a whole town anywhere. The town where the 3 people got killed was Tres Pinos, now known as Hollister. They caught Tibercio at Greek George's place in the Hollywood Hills, above little Tujunga canyon, in West LA. Brought him by stage to San Jose CA, as there wasn't a courthouse in Tres Pinos. There he was Jailed, tried, and hung 1875. A year or two before this, his Compatriot and fellow Bandit Juan Soto from Rancho Milpitas CA, now just called Milpitas, was trapped at his hideout in the Santa Cruz mountains and killed in a duel with the Alameda County sheriff. After the death of these two men it was the end of the Mexican, Californio, Bandito gangs in California. Murrieta one of the first, Vasquez probably the last. BTW Vasquez had a Grandfather by the same name who was once Governor of California. San Jose was California's first city, as well as it's first State Capital, followed by Monterey, and finally Sacramento...
Tiburcio Vásquez, like Joaquín Murrieta was also a victim of discrimination. Can you blame him? After the United States “stole” Alta California Mexicans were treated worse than dogs. Long live Tiburcio Vasquez , Joaquin Murrieta and Juan Cheno cortina.
This video dropped is prefect for Hispanic Heritage Month 😁💯
Mexico CALIFORNIA
Its the other way around buddy 😂
Alta California México
Califas rifa 😂💪🏽
Cast Michael Peña in the biopic. The resemblance is strong
😂
He does resemble Peña but crossed with Christian Bale.
Brown batman!!💪🏽🇲🇽🏜️🤎
California 200 years ago looked a lot cleaner/safer than it is today.
That’s right before it was littered with Europeans lol
Lol stop crying about the crime just deal with it lol
@@209rickMOTOWNsad but true
@@209rickMOTOWNlol
@@209rickMOTOWNit definitely had people of european descent. The mexican man in the story is obviously a mestizo w more spanish than indian blood. And some mexicans were full european criollos.
Vazquez and Joaquin Murrieta are the inspiration for Zorro the legend.
This is a great story. All that you do are great!
I was this guy on my previous life, thank you all so much for your kind comments.
I imagine prison must of been so hot in the summer and so cold in the winter since there was no electricity
Born in the usa,that was Mexico 🇲🇽
That's is backwards born in Mexico than now is USA
I heard they named an upcoming Elementary school here in Cali few years ago after him but the "woke" culture had the name removed ...they shouldn't be erasing state history in my opinion
Yes sir that happen in Salinas CA
I don't know if a murdering and thieving outlaw is what elementary schools are all about. I can see why they did that.
That's California for ya a bunch of woke idiots
Bro Im mexican and grew up in the barrio life, when you choose to commit crime, you know you are the bad guy and will receive no special accolades, much less having things named after you😂 that's like a slap in the face of all the victims and law abiding society in general. Edit: my point is, wokes got nothing to do with it
@@koopspookyou must not know about Christopher Columbus 🤡😭🤣
Interesting a group of politicians stealing 1/3 of Mexican (Native American) country referring to this man a robber. The same applies to Jessie James, being robbed by northern carpetbaggers and then calling him a robber. I guess its true depending on who has the power to say who is a thief.
You mean Native American country prior to the Europeans taking it. Mexicans were being still being created!
Mexican and native Americans are different .
Mexican people are mixed .
Tinurcio Vasquez was great a Mexican and a great hero that I will always remember fighting against all the whites. In are eyes Tinurcio is a hero because he fought against the whites for taking Mexico land.
Easy there racist
-The Mexican
Viva Tiburcio Vasquez !
He was a Californio, rejected by Mexico as well as the States, his blood Lines were Spanish, Indian, and African, check it out...
It was Native American land first! Then Spanish, then Mexican.
@@7667-h2twhich Mexicans are 😂 they’re both native and spanish
Wow San Quentin prison is old AF
Chingón el vato

First comment and like 🎉🎉..
Historia🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
We ain't called the GangLAnd for no reason 💪🏽
Thanks for the story🤙🤙🤙
Vasquez locos forever ey
Fortunately, there were no cringy celebrities either. 😂
Proud my name is Vasquez
Tiburcio Vaquez and Joaquin Murrieta were both inspirations for the character “Zoro” in TV series and movies.
BTW Joaquin Murrieta did not fall for Love. VIVA LOS CALIFORNIOS y VIVA LA RAZA
Once you let people invade your land they never leave !
I used to take my kids to vasquez rocks they film a lot of movies there
AWESOME MAN.
I had no idea I love camping at Vasquez Rocks. I have seen strange UFO type things i tell myself it is probably some AIr Force thing.
He deserves a corrido perron
Mexicans are one tough native American people I don’t play with them they survived to all these wars I’m amazed
Many are pure Crillo ( Spaniards Descendants ) .
Many are Mestizo ( Mixed Spaniards with Native ) .
It’s the Spanish Conquistador blood which makes the Mexicans strong and Warrior. 💪🏿💪🏿⚔️🇪🇸🗡🇲🇽🐎 .
I'm here for the Christian Bale crossed with Michael Pena comments! 😂
Viva Mexico 🇲🇽
😂 They Lost the war and California for being lazy Haha
@@jonmacdonald5345we’re still here
Its always over a women lol 'even 50 thousands years ago any fights n disagreements the Australian aboriginal's had were always over females. 'Just watch Williams Buckles story the first escaped aussie convict who lived wit the natives for over 20 years..
Well sex is a powerful motivation. Not so much women. Amongst gay men as well lol sex is powerful for men
That's how you explain two male specimen fossils with brunt force to skull injuries and a female fossil with spine damage 💀
by "American" they mean europeans : P
Damn homies were doing g rides 200yrs ago on horses😂😂😂
Moral of the story, "keep your pistol in your pants and your guns loaded!"
Are the tiburcio Vasquez clinics named after him?
My Grandfather was In Poncho Villas clan we have a picture of him behind Poncho Villa all on horses ,he was only 16.
Pancho
Hes the father of the Foos
🇲🇽💪
Beautiful story
I believe if California still belonged to Mexico I think he may have lived a very good life of luxury and very rich Mexican citiizen😊
He’s buried here in San Jose California
I clicked because he looks like Christian Bale. 😂
"Tiburcio"? Thats a hella throwback name. Philippines also got dudes with that name 🇵🇭😂👍
Stole or took back what was stolen ?
Arriba Los Vasquez! Im a Vasquez
I’m here for the Michael Peña comments 🍿
Kinda looks like him but a stretch. Need another Mexican actor to portray the role though
Garcia Bernal
We been here, our Native Lands to the Native and Mestizo 🇲🇽. No reparations.
We get called illegal for being in land in stolen territory.
We have been born and live in our occupied Land
Mestizo are not real natives
@@AaronJ323Mestizo are not real native
@@FrankLooez-el6nvIf you want ur land back , fight the US
This sounds like the story line for Mi Familia movie lol 😂😆
A very old problem!!! 😮😮😮
They should get Shia to play this guy next 😂😂
This is the stuff I wish they tough in history. Not other countries that had nothing to do with our history. Maybe kids would find it more interesting.
Michael Peña resembles the eyes chico they never lie
I have never heard a narrator with a voice like this.
tiburcio be like "those pinche chavalas are the biggest posers in the city of los, carnal"
Wait is he a norteno or a sureno
@@George-dx4mithat didn't exist back then lol only once la eme was founded younhad the unified southern hispanic cali gangs like surenos and nortenos and nuestra familia back then mexicans in cali werent unfied in larger groups . Lots of violence at that time amongst local mexican gangs
A Norteno lol he was born in Monterey ca
Not sure why Murrieta gets all the hype. Vasquez was way more prolific, and successful as an outlaw.
They had a drone back then?
Original vatos locos
home boy had a hide out in what is now la crecent area of los angeles ,above foothil blx,on trigs iys a crib made of rocks and it has a huge arc entrance ,so him and his gandsters could ride their horses in to the crib,and over look dow the hills to los angeles and spot anybody following them
Thats a native who knew his land 💪🏻 viva Mexicá
Wow California version of Jesus Malverde😊
Finally, this is clear info. That Mexicans were the first gangs in California, 😂. No disrespect, but that is where crips and bloods got they attire, with chucks, dickies and falnnels 💯💥💥💥
Damn. They sure built San Quentin pretty quick.
Aka: The In-Famous El Guapo.
Learned something new
I see where mi familia got there inspiration from
He was a Revolutionary a Freedom Fighter not a gang leader.
Imagine a person like this guy from 2023 going to his year it would be like a walk-in the park committing crimes cause now they have DNA test and cameras and finger prints now it’s impossible to commit crimes but 1800s as long as no one saw your face you’re good
DAMN what a messed up way to go, bet if they did that to the bloods and crip gangs there would be alot less gang members
That's a fact
Well why dont yalll 2 ban together n take them out then lol n make a video after n let us knows how it goes 😊
Crips n bloods thrive because of single parent homes
@@tractordriver8950its how the system indoctrinates all this people living in the cities, while feeding them with ebt and low income housing to keep them at the bottom with “culture” that revolves around Having bit*hes money dr*gs and fancy cars to always be in debt … . Wake up people
The story is ok....the fact that she's saying "invading America" needs to be corrected due the reason that America isn't only USA, America is a continent divided in 3, which is South America, Central America and North America........It would have been properly just to say "Americans invading another Americans territory......Please!?!?!?!? It's so simple, get it right the next time.
Sounds like he would be my uncle ...I also love liquor woman and gambling I just need a horse 🐎
Wouldnt doubt thats where u last name came from
Didnt know there was gangs 200 years ago
Billy the kid. The Barron gang. The outlaw cowboys
Italians have had thr mafia and low level gangsters for over 200 years though...
The Triad, a Chinese gang goes back even further. The Russian gangs also go way back.
They had street gangs in ancient Rome
Bandit
La Eme 🖐
Im a direct decent of him
And just before that happened California already had European settlements From Spain along the coast and some inland. Until the Spanish Kingdom dissolved in 1821.
"The gentleman bandit!"
I see nothing wrong with stealing from invaders that are stealing from you.
So his weakness for women were a big part of his downfall. Banging his friends wife that was a part of his gang is foul.
If he was so concerned about the legal rights of Californios may he should have created a gang of lawyers, since there's no way they could give this area back to Mexico, as if that would have made any difference.
Zoro but with merry men. His undoing seemed to be his appetite for the wrong women.
A park named after a criminal, murderer, child rapist, traitor and snitch?! Lol ridiculous.
What about the US presidents and Confederate weirdos
That’s pretty much how the u.s. was built on
