    Them TRG gang members was giving them Longos all the smoke they could handle. As any black Crip member from Long Beach and they will tell you the same thing. The black Crip gang members in Long Beach gave the Cambodia TRG gang members their respect because the Cambodians handle their business. Much respect to the Cambodia community.

    Man, I'm Mexican from LBC....I don't gang bang. I got love for Cambodian, Black, Samoan, White, Mexican and all people in my city. LBC is a very diverse and unique city. Alot of talent comes out of LBC. Late 80's and early 90's were no joke though.

    1. A Hispanic little girl got shot by an asian who happened to be related to somebody who was affiliated
    2. Longbeach asian gang members came out on Fox news special saying fvck (all Mexicans) so that right there made a longbeach problem into a LA county problem, i was in LA county jail when i seen that Fox special.

    All this gang stuff use to be cool before I grew up and realized what I needed in life was the opposite of what u get being in a gang like peacefulness, a great job or business, a house in a decent neighborhood, and a healthy strong family being in a gang ruins all that, just prison time, lawyer fees, disloyalty friends, jealousy and envy, plus u gotta always watch your back no retirement plan, 401k, health insurance, or a weekly check it’s sad that most can’t see it, no parents should have to grieve over this nor should anyone give their life over this it’s not worth it, u only get one life make the best of it.

    I knew one Khmer guy, name Sunny. He came to Jacksonville 1986 to get away from gangster, but later he moved back to Ca. I don’t know him very well. I hope he is in good health. I knew many families send their kids to Florida to stay away from gangs life style. For while gangsters started to migrate to Florida. The new law that was passed to deport many Khmer criminals are not fair. But the new law will help clean up the streets. The underworld will always be part of society if the law isn’t toughened enough. I knew little about gang life style which I hadn’t wanted to be part off. I had chosen the right path and sport kept me busy. My uncle name Rally was a gang member moved to Ca and end up in Cambodia. It’s sad that they deported him. I hope the new Khmer generation will stay away of gangsters. It’s promising for the new Khmer generations. Thanks for the footage of Khmer community in LB.🙏🏻

    I grew up in Orange County Santa Ana back in the 80’s early 90’s. When I was in CYA YTS serving a life sentence…I witnessed my first fight between a guy from TRG and Longo. I was surprised to see the TRG gang member dressed as if he was a black gangster I thought he was a crip….no disrespect to anyone it’s just a fact. In Santa Ana I grew up near Minnie st and the TRG’s that grew up in Santa Ana dressed like us Mexican homies with their pants up to their chest 😆 and socks up to their knees 😆 hair combed back….so I was shocked when I saw the TRG from Long Beach was totally dressed differently at YTS.

Respect/recognition etc. I put my Family and other peoples family through a lot of pain and a life of suffering because of my actions I victimized so many people. Now I’m doing my best to do the right thing however life has not been easy for me out here. I went away at 16-17 years old and paroled in my mid 40’s. It would be cool if these youngsters found another outlet instead of killing each other.

    its tough being cambodian. we never have enough numbers like other communities and that makes us easier targets initially, our support networks are also much smaller.
    even here in australia i remember in the 90s there were only 6000 cambodians in the whole of the country and we would have to fight other ethnicities. we didn't have the big numbers like the viets, chinese, filipinos or indians.
    if cambodians had the same numbers as other asians we would be a huge force to be reckoned with. i guess the same could be said in america. i looked up the statistics 5.4 million chinese, 4.8 million indians, 4.1 million filipinos, 2.3 million viets. 300k cambodians. our numbers are miniscule. could you imagine 5 million cambos in america? lol. TRG and ABZ would have tens of thousands of members each

      It's corny hoodlum shit.
      You want to talk about real gangsters, Mexico is a good example of it. Real criminal figures that don't fight over blocks but regions and political infiltration.
      I lived in South central and never acted like they say: some "nigga" , that shit is corny, and it's a shame to listen to these punk Chicanos that talk like that. These so called Mexicans in L.A. aren't real Mexicans, either, they're Americanized or Chicanos or worse Pochos. I'll make an exception with East L.A. and other neighborhoods within South central but that hoodlum culture is trash. Foos get eventually bought out through gentrification, or go to prison, or simply meet death.
      Learn about socioeconomics and stay positively productive, kids. Don't get caught up with the nonsense as this world is bigger than hoodlums running around street corners.
