[dropcap size=big]B[/dropcap]y order of a “down-ass carnal” and this viral video on Instagram posted on the page @thefoocommunity, a “mandatory peace treaty for all barrios” is now in effect.
While crime in Los Angeles has been down in general since the safer-at-home order was called in March and gang violence has been in decline since its heyday in the 90s, there are still occasional acts of gang-related violence happening in our city. However, one veterano has had enough.
In the three-minute-long video posted last Friday that has over 66 thousand views, a tattooed vato loco wearing a sleeveless hoodie addresses gang members “of all status” throughout Sur Califas: “If you are caught doing a drive-by shooting, you will be dealt with. Don’t worry about the police...worry about people in your own neighborhood putting you on check.” His speech seems to indicate that there was already a truce in effect and that the order originated in San Diego.
