FUCK!
I just saw a MASSIVE WSR tag on my side of town.
We're talking whole building side.
Who are the WSR?
Why is this not farcically comical?

Let's back up a tick.

Topeka has the highest per person rate of criminals especially repeat violent offenders in the U.S.
About ten years ago we actually were a crips/blood hub with honest to god gang violence
as in
pewpew
driveby.

We somehow coerced them to move west to wichita. I have no idea how. Now Wichita is the new gang violence shithole south of chicago.
Anyway, in their absence there was a vaccum for posers and punks to kinda spiral out of control and play gangster
thus was born the WSR
Topeka's very own West Side Rydas.
Not a mispelling.
They're mostly an obnoxious bunch of semi-priveleged taggers with guns and a LOT to prove.
Guess what- those are the dangerous ones.

Someone who has nothing to prove, has no need to commit acts outside of rationality.

Now enter my neighborhoods local flavor
the ESK
*ahem*
East Side Kings?
The motherfucking LATIN KINGS!!!???
As in
international real organized crime, REAL fucking drug trafficking real DO NOT FUCK WITH US YOU SILLY LITTLE PUNKS
KINGS!

...*sigh* *rubs temples*

The wsr tagged a hispanic business in ESK territory.
2 whole building sides.

Lately I've been seeing a lot of red jeans again. Maybe WSR has backup...
but
this is the shit they specifically told me to watch at the club.
Had ESK coming in all the fuckin time.
They were out if they were wearing their colors or if they threw a sign.

Jesus... the new police chief was trying to pre-empt this shit, but I dunno if its gonna work out.

I'm buying bullets.
And staying away from windows.
