Summary: 3 Stars
Gangland: The Complete Season Two (1998) continues where the first
season left off, covering this micro-history of the USA, focused on
street gangs of major American cities.
The quality of the filming, and the informal yet accurate and
straight to the point narrative is entertaining, allowing viewers to
change gears.
In the case of the 18th street documentary,it clearly lays out 3
separate areas of Los Angeles, which is the WEST SIDE, SOUTH SIDE
and the 18TH STREET area, all of which are very different. The 18th
St is a gang that is decentralized, having no central command or top
down hierarchy, instead comprised of a subset of gangs, such as the
Colombian LyL Cycos.
Understanding the mentality of members is hinted at, by explaining
how members worship a 5 stories high graffiti mural, highlighting
names and faces of recent notorious gang members in that community.
The introverted nature of members comes not only from their youth,
but from not having been exposed to much else.
Originating in Westlake, or Pico Union, West LA in the mid-80's, the
18th St adopted the most relaxed hiring policy of almost any gang at
the time, as compared to the Eme for exmaple, culminating in a
hegemony on the South Side, from its sheer number of members, of all
ethnic extractions (not just of Guatemala or El Salvador ), twice
as numberous as MS-13. It adopts the usual hand signals, tattos,
graffiti, rubouts of rivals, shakedowns of pushers, hold ups, and
the use of AK-47, car thefts, etc.
Areas are officially "controlled and owned" by a specific clique,
itself operated by a "shot caller" (or boss), whom the narcotics
pushers must pay through collectors, as much as $85,000 per week per
street. This results in turf wars between other cliques in the 18TH
st, or rival gangs, such as the Eme, for that revenue.
In this environment, members and opponents walk on eggshells, as
indifference or open animosity suggests a lack of respect for the
clique, prompting beatings, in some cases.
Those extortion rackets on drug pushers run parallel to narcotics
deals, to the point that the second in command, Termite Romero,
cobbled up over half a million USD in cash, at his home, before law
enforcement swooped in, after a measured surveillance operation of
wiretaps and video footage.
Suspecting a confidential informant within their ranks, the leader
Puppet Martinez, greenlights a rubout on Termite, who rolls to the
FBI.
This is a unique series, although the stories are date from the
1990's.
