Nashville is on Gangland now

[56FordGuy]

The History Channel show called Gangland is doing a show on the Brown Pride gang in Nashville. Came on at 8:00 PM.

[Guest redbarron06]

Well then I guess that sums it up for me. I have seen them do shows on every city I have ever lived in. Memphis, Charlotte, Atlanta (they could have done a dozen in ATL) and now Nashville.

I will give the show credit though. Without that I would not have realized I was driving by the local OUTLAWS Motorcycle Clubs local clubhouse every day on the way to and from work. I look down a side street and there it is a big "piston charlie" on the side if the building.

I DVR the show so I guess I will watch it tomorrow. Got to get up at 0430 for PT.

I watched it. I thought they did a good job on the show.

[56FordGuy]

I thought it was pretty good. I never really thought about the gang presence in Nashville on such a large scale until now.

They made a point of mentioning Tennessee's "lax" gun laws. There was a gang member talking about how easy it is to buy guns, or get them in robberies. He made the statement that "white people have guns, especially old white people."

Wonderful...of course, Clarksville has places that a smart person avoids after dark and there have even been comments to that effect in the paper and the LEOs confirming it. I am not an advocate of vigilante justice, but it is beyond my understanding WHY we invade other countries, but let such BS happen here at home; we need to invade North Clarksville (and the jump off point could be Dodge's on 41A north at about 2 am on a weekend morning).

Seems to me, our GIs who need real-world, real time urban warfare training should be turned loose (you know, the old cry havoc and let loose the dogs of war?).

Something tells me if gang-bangers got a taste of a firefight, US Military style, they would loose their taste for "fighting", especially since they are such Chicken s--ts with their drive-by style.

Rant off now...

Where is the clubhouse located?

Ditto...when I moved home to TN from San Diego, I knew the "bigger cities" had issues, then found out Clarksville has pockets of the same, if not worse, issue.

Coach Ross was shot by a low-life while working the family fireworks tent in Walmart's parking lot.

And people wonder why citizens should be legally armed? LEOs cannot be everywhere, especially in times of budget cuts and manpower shortages.

[TripleDigitRide]

Nevermind. I didn't realize they were listed in the Yellow Pages.

I've lived here for about 14 years, and I don't think I've ever heard about them being here. They must not be too bad.

I hope the police is given more leway on handling this type of stuff. Antioch High School basketball season was messed up because of gang problems. Not the only school.

[Guest redbarron06]

Where is the clubhouse located?

About one block off of Trinity on a side street of Whites Creek Pike.

Well, if you work over there your military experience will come in handy. Stay sharp my friend.

[Guest clownsdd]

Welcome to the real world folks. There is not a city in America that doesn't have problems. Memphis just admits it.

I dont work over there but I pass it going and comeing. I actually live about 6 miles from there.

[Guest eyebedam]

I really hate I missed this. Where in Nashville were they doing the filming? I hope it comes back on soon. I've seen almost all the Ganglands. It's a great show.

[memphismason]

I hate I missed it too. I quit recording it because I found my hate growing. I need to start back watching it, I think I might be getting too soft. LOL

I only turned it on to show my wife the beginning and that it was in Nashville. I will watch the rest of it tonight. It looked like it was a hispanic gang. Going out on a limb here (and maybe jumping to conclusions) I would guess that at least some of it was done in Antioch.

I'm told MS13 is getting prevalent around here, but most of the cops I know (some who work the gang unit) say most of the gangs in Nashville are "wannabe" gangs. They pretty much agree it's not a serious problem like some other cities (Memphis included), but it is gettting more and more problematic.

The "wannabe" gangs are a huge problem. They run around here acting like they have something to prove.

What might happen (happens here a lot)......a "wannabe" starts trying to prove itself and another "real" gang takes notice and "patch over" (MC term) takes place, where the wannabe is taken under the wing of real gang.

A local latino gang here has done this with the Surenous gang.

[Guest 44M]

this doesn`t make any sense to me...at all...if they know where the gangs are and even go film over there, why don`t cop`s take care of that problem...please don`t tell me they can`t do it....instead to be worried about me going to have a dinner while carrying, they should start doing their job and take care of those gang loosers....this is ridiculous..

They have to have evidence that they are breaking the law to arrest them. It is not illegal to be in a gang.

[Guest mustangdave]

interesting thread...my Neighborhood Watch Group had a "briefing" a couple months ago from the Gang Unit over at the east precinct...there is a GANG problem in Nashville...and its not the wanna-bees at all. Its not confined to good old Antioch either, its all over...we got em all folks...MS-13...Crips...Bloods...LOD...Kurdish Brotherhood, even Asian gangs...its CRAZY...all I will say is CYA...and report any unusual activities ASAP.

Yep they are all over the place, and in some areas you would not guess them to be.

[Guest TurboniumOxide]

Smart bad guys are where you least expect them.

[Smith]

Brentwood and Belle Meade have the highest crime rates in the city.

[Guest eyebedam]

I hope it's on Comcasts on demand. I'll be looking for it tonight
