Don’t you dare and trespass the invisible boundary (Alameda Blv.) between the good and bad neighborhoods in south LA or you would get yourself in gang land, where you will find people who had nothing better to hope for than to die for their family gang: this is the zone of the crips and the bloods, two rival African American gangs who distinguish themselves by the blue bandana (crips) and the red one.
