Yeah.
Everybody lives in their own little tunnel. And like I said, they'll bitch about politics or whatever until there's some kind of benefit for them. Then they'll pick that candidate even if they're a complete idiot otherwise. Yeah, I can't imagine what you're talking about right now.
Yeah, that's a super show of trust, obviously, because usually, like I said, they don't invite you to the place where they rest their head. There's too much to lose, even though essentially it's the one environmental aspect that they can control when you think of it from a strategic security standpoint.
But it's also where they're most vulnerable because you see where they live, where you can catch them at any given time on any given day because they've got to sleep at some point and they just don't want to show people that. Or They just do their business elsewhere. So they're not showing off their kids or their girlfriends or whatever it is.
But yeah, for somebody in my case in particular, it was a big gesture of trust to say, come over to the house or whatever, because typically they would just meet you somewhere or I'd be parked out in the driveway, hit them up. Somebody else would come out and do some kind of proxy handoff type thing or whatever.
And so I had done so many of that in reverse that I think they just knew I was extra cautious and just had developed trust by then. That's just one of those big signs to me, like, oh, this guy trusts me enough to come to his actual house.
That's a good question. I don't know if they were motivated by anything other than at that point they trusted me. So it was laziness. Convenient, so straight up convenient.
Yeah, and that's a presumption on my part. They still played the movie role. I'd walk in, they'd close the burglar bar cage and lock it and shut the door, and then he'd sit back on his couch with a couple 45s pointed out, like it's some kind of, okay, we'll start rolling on this. But I just attribute it to that.
It still was a leap of faith, though, on their part, because it said in practice, even with people that were fellow gang members, they didn't do as much of that work. I would say I was the only non-gang member that I knew of that was actually in somebody's house wheeling and dealing at that point.
It sort of is. Yeah. It's sophisticated enough to where you think that they have an appreciable talent to actually run a business, but at the same time, They're street thugs. So there's these are 25 to 29 year olds trying to do a thing, but they're still street thugs. So in terms of their common sense is a little bit limited because their goals are to support the gangs.
They're still so selfish that they're infighting amongst different sets within the same gang and things like that. If they were really that prolific at running a business, then you wouldn't have different sets within the crip organization. You'd have crips as a whole. They could conquer quite a bit, but they're so fragmented. You just take on one aspect of it and take those down.
You have a bunch of people there. Then you take other ones down and you can actually get sometimes other sets of crips to help you infiltrate different sets for the sake of territorial command or whatever.
Yeah. And the best thing to compare it to is, again, that common enemy concept is that when there is a threat from bloods or law enforcement, they will collaborate a lot more because then, you know, hey, this is some kind of threat and blah, blah, blah. And they'll get together and do more in that aspect. But. Yeah.
In terms of just doing the business, they would set up houses like they'd have somebody who's got a real estate license and he would set up all these rentals and then put some chicks in there that have an ID and they would sit in there and then the dealers would send their crews in and they'd have these mid-level guys running the house.
Somebody would make a drop under the engine compartment, the hood of the car that's in the backyard, and then they'd sell that throughout the day. They'd break it up and sell it. They've got somebody that cooks it in a separate place. So they're making all these drops at these different houses and they put all these little worker bees to go in there and distribute it throughout the day.
So even if you hit a house, typical narcotics operations or trying to even get the gangs through narcotics, which I was doing, you'd knock a house down, you can try to get some intel, but you're still getting lower level people. And then you've got somebody that actually is the renter in the home that isn't associated with the people. So the renter is shielded there in terms of prosecution.
And then you've got dudes that certainly don't live there. So finding mail and If they have drugs in there, but they're not in actual possession, it makes it a real difficult case to make each time. It was just a pain in the ass for me.
I was hitting houses to try to hit the same people three and four times so that I could then call the district attorney's office and say, all right, this case that you have on so-and-so, I know that you're going to plead it out because this is how you do it. But there's three other ones, and I think they're attached to some different prosecutors in the same office.
And maybe you could create a case out of all these and actually give these people some time.
But you find him, he swears he doesn't live there and I don't have anything to do with this. And then three other times law enforcement finds you there, three other dates with dope and guns in proximity, then circumstantially you have something, you know.
