DVD Reviews of Gangland: The Complete Season One
DVD Review: The underworld, criminology, brief and well researched
Summary: 3 Stars
Gangland: Season One is probably a kind of acquired taste, for
those fascinated with power structures, cliques, clans, the
underworld, criminology and generally, what occurs on the streets,
in the biggest, most densely populated and immigrant concentrated
areas of the USA.
Having sampled just a few of the episodes of this season, the
release is impressive, from its brief yet well researched, fact
based narrative.
The episode on the Eme is an example, reminiscent significantly of
Olmos's American Me. With a growth based out of a Juvenile Hall
reformatory, expanding to Fulsom Penn, then to other ones, such as
Pelican Bay, and others in California, the eme dozens of thousands
of members.
The episode suggests that 90% of the leadership is located behind
bars, carrying out life terms without parole, managing to control
from afar all street member behavior, operations, and reprimands
keeping members and rivals in line.
What most people don't know, or realize or want to hear, is the
outcome of an individual being pigeon-holed in underground
activity, and adopting a criminal mind and career, is perhaps a
loss of all hope in joining what most would consider a normal life,
as shown by the mainstream population with a legit occupation. T
This is extraordinarily serious, for the simple reason that once a
member joins, only death can take that person away, never divorce,
separation, lack of interest, boredom, frustration, annoyance with
the group, etc.
Extortion is commonplace and profitable, not only in neighborhoods,
the streets being organized into territories, but also cell blocks
in jails, each having a designated "bloquero" or gang member whose
role is to collect money from protection rackets. This is not a
small role, as over 50,000 gang members hierarchically in one form
or another, respond to the eMe.
Symbolism, artwork, Aztec culture is a leveraged for identity and
pride purposes through tattoos and dialects. Unlike some monarchies
of the past, there is no room for comedy, self criticism or a
joker telling inconvenient truths.
A controversial statement is made, such as having a target play
basketball to get his blood moving and later bleed and die faster
upon a shank wound etc.
Surveillance video footage, the witness protection program, members
rolling over, confidential informants, lock down are some tools
used to fight against the underground made up of members, known as
carnales by the system.
At the same time, valuable lessons are learned in day to day
conduct, for anyone in any small business or major corporation,
which is the requirement for a total allegiance, respect to
leadership and clan image, as well as an omerta about the
day-to-day goings on in the clique. Information is power, worth
money, secrecy often the key to success in face of the system,
anarchists, delinquents and rivals.
Another lesson, is the careful hiring policy into the gang, by
virtue of the member needing to add to the gang from a reputation,
image, prestige and an ability to exert fear and intimidation on
others, for profits, and diminish the dependency on the "muscle".
Skimming profits off sales, or pocketing cash that is unearned,
carries a death sentence by those involved.
