NOTE : Below are the definitions for the acronymns listed above. The above pictures were collected from November 7 through 11, 2005. These pictures were taken to help others understand what taggers do and where they tag. If your place gets tagged, call the police and they will let you come and obtain FREE PAINT to cover up that graffiti.

(CT) = Crew Tag (GT) = Gang Tag (ST) = Signature Tag

Tagging Crews - [ OCA - CREEP - MANE - SANE ]

---

X4 = Northerners
-> ESP = East Side Poros : Territory - from Plano East
-> VCP = Varrio Central Poros : Territory - from Hwy 65 to Plano
-> WSP = West Side Poros : Territory - from Hwy 65 West

---

NOTE : Gang Watchers has been informed that around 75-80% of the gangs located here in Porterville are X4 Nortenos - Northerners. This information must not be considered 100% accurate especially when gang members are always coming in and out of Porterville. Another factor in this number are the associates with gangs. These are the one's who are not full-flegged gang members, yet will associate with these gangs when it becomes essential for their own protection (sic). Last but not least are the wanna-bee's. These are the young one's who will eventually have to prove themselves to get into the gangs and will be pressured into committing some type of a crime. Gangs need these young recruits and pee-wee's to do a lot of their business transactions and dope deals. They know that the authorities will not punish them as harsh as they would if they got caught.

---

X3 = Sourtherners

---

NOTE : Gang Watchers has also been informed that the Sorenos - Southerners make up around 15% of the gang membership in Porterville. This, for-the-most-part, is the exception and not the rule. The rule in California is ... Sorenos rule. And that's been the case for some time. And that presents a problem for Porterville. Why ? Because the X4's will not let the X3's build there sets or gang membership in a general area. The X4's will let them gather in small pockets but when they start to grow ... that when the wars start. The X4's have allowed the X3's to grow at Woodville Labor Camp and again that's a problem. The dividing line for the Southerners and Northeners is Bakersfield / Delano.

---

B = Bloods
C = Crips

---

ABZ = Asian Boyz
JBZ = Joe Boyz
TRG = Tiny Rascal Gang
WC = Wah Chings

---

NOTE : Gang Watchers understands that there are other gangs that are located in Porterville and will do our best in locating them and updating this web site ASAP. The remaining 5% of gang activity, we are told, is comprised of the above groups. At the present time their grow is stiffled by the X4's, however ... gangs in the past have combined their sets either for protection or for collective efforts ... such as getting rid of other gangs in their area.

MM = Mexican Mafia
SS = Nazi Skin Heads
