† 10-31-07 : Wednesday - Up-dated our MEMBERS ONLY section, issues between Norteņos and Sureņos, a lot more info for PARENT's about the Gang Culture and a bunch of Good Ole' Stories we found on the web. And just as important, we want to remember our loved one's that we lost due to gang violence. We also up-date daily, stories relating to Gangs, Drugs, Cartels Corrupt Authorities and cover-ups, in American and overseas.
As well, we've added our own Most Wanted page, hoping to encourage either our local Police Dept or Newspaper will add one to their web pages. And to keep the heat on the Top music executives who pimped out this "rap-crap" to our kids - click here. Also, you can read Brother LUCKY's PERSONAL OPINION page. You know I gotta say - what I gotta say. Next, we created a web page for our monthly {Guess That Graffiti} - one of our most popular sections and attractions.
Last but not least, our newest addition called Intervention and Prevention was needed to follow the new Gang Czar and his new advisory group. Enjoy -- Brother LUCKY. See you in the streets ...
P-Diddy's New Vodka
A Christian Hypocrit
|
† 10-24-07 : Wednesday - THIS JUST IN - WORLDLY CHRISTIAN UP-DATE : It appears that -- {Christian when I need to look like a Christian} -- P Diddy has just cut a million dollar deal with a vodka company. And where will the profits from this fruit show up ? At TBN "again" or at Pastor Hezekiah's Church, where Diddy attends ? His mother said back in 2001 that she was looking forward to his new Gosple record, but never mentioned his latest money making scheme.
Folks ... I could go on and on but what's the point ? The point is this, these so-called "50 Cent Type Christians" are sending the wrong signal. And number two : the world is no longer convicted of sin ... because the "New Christian" approach to prosperity, or die trying. The world sees those in the business as hypocrits -- liers ... none-the-less, with little sence of sacrafice. It's all about the money !!!
† 10-21-07 : Sunday - Knowing that Hollywood is going to put out another movie about gangs, I thought it would be a good idea to share my opinion about AMERICAN GANGSTER coming out Nov 2nd. 2007.
What I discovered had me concerned and basically it's this -- more and more people are grabbing their 30 pieces of silver and selling their souls to the god of this world - satan. As disturbing, more and more Christians (in Hollywood) are doing this as well. And my question to you guys is this ... why do you continue to support this stuff at the box office, when you know good-and-well these movies influence the thinking of America's youth ? Or maybe ... you just don't care any more. I do, and I will not give GOD's money to see this movie and recommend that all Christians do the same.
And the biggest reason is this, Denzel Washington - whom everyone says is a Christian - is playing the lead role as Chicago's drug king-pin and could care less how this movie or his so-called Christianity will effect those around him. As the word of GOD says, "... what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul ?" Listen up Christians in Hollywood. Is this the price you're willing to pay ???

Box 2140, Porterville CA. 93258 } and tell us exactly what this graffiti says and where it's located. It's that simple. We're doing this to encourage more people to get better aquainted with their community and to help them recognize some of these markings. The results will be posted on November 30th - and that will also be the cut off date for the cash award. NO E-MAILS PLEASE ...
† 10-13-07 : Saturday - On this day Gang Watchers did another OJT - On the Job Training with Sister Cathy from Visalia {Visa} to Porterville {Poros}. And as usual, GOD showed up and directed our paths and we had a great time. We prayed - after we started - and then toured a few ally-ways and streets. It only took a few minutes before GOD lead us to out first young man to share with. From there we traveled to many parts of Porterville, stopping to share and pray with new "G's" and OG's. Eventually we made it over to our local Wal-Mart, where many come to purchase items through out the day. We stood outside and I pointed out to Sister Cathy who was "Representing" and who was "Real". We looked at many of the clothing items that Norteņos, Sureņos, 18th Street, Border Brothers, Joe Boys, Oriental Troops, Skin-Heads wore ... back in the day and today.
All-in-all, it was a good OJT for Sister Cathy and she plans to have Gang Watchers come to her Church to share with them how to set our 4 x 4 program. Have a great week end ! Brother LUCKY. See you in the streets ...
† 10-13-07 : Saturday - As most of you already know, Gang Watchers receives many e-mails from all over the planet and we receive e-mails from others who want us to post something on our web site. When those time occur ... we will link in here just to say thanks and give credit, where credit is due. So, thanks goes to Juan {AKA "Juany-Boy"} who spotted this article -- called ... A pedagogical analysis of Central American street gangs -- and second to Rubina, who placed it in the BLOG. This article presents to the reader an understanding between MS-13 and MS-18, one that started here in the U.S. and the other that started in central America. Enjoy ... Brother LUCKY.
† 10-10-07 : Wednesday - On this day Gang Watchers attended another Tulare County Gang Prevention Task force committee meeting {pics1}{pics2}in Visalia. At this meeting we heard from additional folks who were concerned and from those who have been actively working with gangs. Information was presented, as usual, and folks were surprised. And the message from the D.A. was clear.
Stats from the law enforcement side, stated that there were, 4,800 validated gang members in Tulare County. Stats from the interventionist's stated anywhere from 13,000 to 15,000 gang members in Tulare County. Were these numbers an alarm for concern ??? You bet !!!
And you the public are needed now ... more than ever. On Dec 6th 2007, Tulare County Board of Supervisors will be having a GANG SUMMIT meeting at the Visalia Convention Center. At this SUMMIT, there will be all kinds of info and displays. One member of the committee thought that possibly thousands will be in attendance. And we all hope this is the case. In the mean time, keep praying and keep believing that Gang Watchers will continue to influence more and more Christians and Churches to come on board. This is a battle that GOD wants us to win ... for HIS GLORY !!! Amen. See you in the streets and at the Visalia Convention Center on Dec 6th. Brother LUCKY ...
† 10-04-07 : Thursday - This evening while I was returning e-mails from gang members I was moved to pray a little more and a little different. I sensed that the HOLY SPIRIT was wanting to move a little quicker in their lives and HE wanted me to tell all of you tonight ... "Trust GOD with all of your Heart. It is HE who will sustain you. It is HE who will bring the Joy back into your Life. And It is HE who will give you your Hearts desire. So ... please stay home tonight ! Don't go out and don't take another life. It will only get worse." And DREAMER ... send me an e-mail that works next time. GOD has a special word for you. I tried to send you what GOD put in my heart for you, so ... send another e-mail. Brother LUCKY. See you in the streets.
† BTW - Gang Watchers will be back in VISA -- Visalia real soon. GOD Bless.
† October 2007 : ATTENTION : PASTORS, PARTNERS AND POLITICIANS. The User Name and Password for OPERATION : PEACE TOWN was updated on Oct 1st. Additional folks have become involved in other areas in the state, besides the Tulare County's Gang Prevention Task force, so we made some changes. Last month we received 12 more e-mails from local pastors and new partners requesting - their very own User Name and Password. Again ... you need to e-mail Gang Watchers peace@gangwatchers.org your e-mail address and please, get this done ASAP. Thanks ... Brother LUCKY
† Last month, Gang Watchers purchased more bumper stickers to give to the area Churches and citizens.
