The Hawaiian Gardens Gang: One of The Most Dangerous Gangs in America PT. 2

<p>*ep starts at 23 mins</p> <p>PART 2 of 2</p> <p>I’ll be talking about the Varrio Hawaiian Gardens gang, and no they’re not in Hawaii, they’re from a small town just south of LA. They have a long history and played a key part in forming the Mexican Mafia prison gang. Through the 90s and 2000s they committed numerous hate crimes and have been classified as a “Hate Gang” for their deliberate targeting of African Americans. They stick to their territory and have never formed cliques outside of Hawaiian Gardens.</p> <p>GUEST is officer Gannon a LASD and OCSD Sheriff</p> <p>SOURCES</p> <p><strong>Sources</strong></p> <p>Corwin, M.
