Gang sign at 3rd and Kaloli?

It' usually the kids that " wanna be" that set up a turf zone with the tags.

Boy, do I feel out of things. I had no idea hanging shoes had any meaning at all. I learn stuff every day.

They have been here for several years. They have been operating rather quietly, distributing meth. BTW, for the person who thinks it is a joke that they are in Nanawale, try looking around some on Seaview, at a couple of the abandoned properties.
It is beyond belief that the county police will not take them seriously.

When I was in the Army it was tradition to toss your boots over the wire on your day of discharge... There can be many reasons why someone did it. I wouldn't assume a pair of sneakers are necessarily gang sign on their own. Maybe some graffiti or other activity to corroborate. But I do agree that if gangs are trying to get a foot-in-the-door there now would be the time to slam that door before it's too late.

The people who come over to work at PGV toss their work boots over the wires at the entrance to PGV when they go back to the mainland.
I have seen up to 6 pairs at times when they were drilling new wells.

It's an urban legend that this indicates drug or gang activity.

You can find many situations where it DOES mean gang activity. As well as many times it doesn't. So... either way, why don't we find a SOLUTION to taking them down ?

My god people, where is the logistical need for a cartel to take over the Big Island, where are they going to go lol

even if Every single inhabitant of the big island did crack it still would not be viable and also, who are they going to sell to, are they going to take EBT or food stamps? everyone is broke and rich people rarely do crack

this is just plain stupid. This could just be a kid doing it and laughing at everyone while reading the posts on this thread because if I were a kid on the Big Island I would BE that bored

BEWARE !!!!

Sneakers over power lines on lower Kahakai Blvd.

My god, it's an invasion !!!!

[Guest]

Not for nothing Protoss but the majority of gang activity is where people are broke and on EBT., so that argument doesn't make any sense.

@protoss and jlgerk....

Laugh at you want at the sneaker reference, which has zero bearing on what is really going on.

Ms-13 IS HERE and operating rather quietly, in the background, selling meth.
