I have a buddy that played ECHL hockey for the Long Beach, Cali team a couple of years ago. I guess the team helped out the players when it came to housing and stuck a bunch of players a block away from two crip neighborhoods. Buddy told me stories how these 6'4, 230lb goons on the team were scared out of their mind to even wander anywhere near those lines because they were convinced something real bad would happen....He told me some pretty crazy stories.
As for the show itself, I wouldn't be surprised if the gangs involved were legit... but the "peacemaking" itself looks forced. I can't see two rival gangmembers coming on screen like that if they still have issues. Who knows though.
