i visited Canada in '98. we stayed in Vancouver then Salt Spring Island for a couple of weeks. when i was there i saw a young kid, probably 16-17 (i was 18 ), wearing a baby blue Compton hat. he was walking around like he was tough acting hard, the usual naive kid. i just thought it was fuckin hilarious, i grew up in LA my whole life, though ive been to Compton a few times, its not something i would brag about.
simply for the fact that one brags about having gangs means they arent really that bad. i didnt feel threatened in Canada one bit. when i was living in downtown LA, attending USC, i lived in between a few different rival gangs. i skated with a few of the guys so they didnt give me a hard time but i still heard shots being fired real close damn near every night and saw quite a few gang brawls.
