Challenges on Skid Row

Posted by Portrait| Los Angeles Skid Row (Los Angeles, United States) on 31 August 2007 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

Fights, guns, and death are everyday elemts of life on the Row...

When drugs and too many drinks mix... Confilicts flare. Still, the fact that this corner is directly across the block from the Central City Police Station may cause one to think it is a safe corner for homeless to rest.

On skid row danger lurks in the shadows of night!

This specific fight was between new Migrant-Americans. Gangs loom large in Los Angeles, Ms 13 and Mexican Mafia have a small skid row "Clicka": set or crew.

Morever, this area of Skid Row gang color safe. Meaning, because it is a huge outdoor drug market...all crews have the right to sling dope.

Interesting business!

Crips, Bloods, MS 13, Mexican Mafia all hang on the same block during business hrs.
