History Channel: Gangland
So as I was flipping through the channels this evening, I got to the History Channel and found they were running their Gangland series, featuring none other than the "Trinitarios", and their spread from NY to NJ. I didn't know what to think so I watched the show. It is quite embarrassing how they use the country's history and symbols for negative things but it was interesting to learn about their history and development (I would just like to add the network was very objective in its reporting). I think the best way to avoid these organizations is to better education in the Dominican Republic so people can find better opportunities when they migrate. What do people think?

RE: History Channel: Gangland
Haven't seen that one, I'll keep an eye out.

I saw one episode of that show, about some sad sad biker gang in Florida "the warlocks" . I knew these guys were dolts fdrom their name, but worse was that they were willingly spilling so much dirt for the camera. All their 'gang life' stories were about Hell's Angels and others knocking off their leaders, blowing up their clubs, and even one time multiple Feds infiltrated their gang and after a funeral ceremony for a knocked off leader the Warlocks were led right into a police ambush and arrested en masse without firing a shot. LOSER ass criminals!


Tell me the Trinitarios at least have more brains than to be spilling stories about heir sad failures in the underworld...
I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.

You give these guys too much credit!!!!!! way to much... I met a couple of these guys, your average un-educated low class Dominicans.
They make Dominicans look bad, I know of not one person "educated and mature" that likes them.

No, they weren't talking about their sad failures. Actually, what surprised me was that one of the detectives said that after the Latin Kings they were probably the most organized gang in the area. And it literally started with just one dude that got locked up in Riker's in the late '80's, early '90's.

You mean the Riker university that is probably where he learned and pick up the expertise
We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.

Indeed. After many busts during the crack/cocaine epidemic here in the city, Dominicans that found themselves in prison also found themselves alone and being picked on. So this man (aka "El Caballote" ) decided to imitate the other gangs already there and form one to protect Dominicans (according to the program).

Actually, there are Gang leaders with college education... but as in the military the foot soldiers are all pawns......

You do what you have to, to survive in Jail........ I have met Latin Kings, Ñetas, Bloods, Crips ..
but the thing i hate about 3NI is that they use DR history and they yell out patria and stuff..
when you do that you put all Dominicans in the same boat......
another thing is that the have a lot of Little kids in these gangs.

BUt if you ain;t locked up stay away from gangs, I know people doing life because they got caught up, ordered to kill some one or had to TAKE the rap for some one else...
remember the cops do not care about you... the law doesn't care.. you will do LIFE in Jail/ prison for nothing..
