We are raising a generation of spineless cowards who never heard of the words integrity and self respect. Disgusting 💯

crazy they fighting over territory and blocks and dont own no damn property. smhh

This is the late 80s - early 90s all over again - except, all respect is non-existent.

Living that gang life, how the hell is any parent surprised how short and fast their life is over.

I was raised in the life & after prison I became a youth Counselor in South Park, You are, and model who you most hang around and many of these kids homes are tragic...Many of these parents have issues and pass no values or bad ones. Many times its generational but so may parents work crazy hours to provide a better life some kids just fall victim to ego... We have to convey the benefits of healthy lifestyles and paint pictures of these negative paths that they can feel. Set them up for wins by passing healthy hustle and game but keeping their ego's in check so they can get on the best paths to being their genuine selves.. so many kids stuck up-keeping an act that dosent serve them. When they really find what they are passionate about, have some wins under their belts and momentum in the right direction they can see the value in finding answers on their own.. if no one there to plant seeds to grow the cycle intensifies.. These parents need guidance too.. Unfortunately I had to quit this job after 5 years because its hard to pay the bills and I have kids to care for of my own. Was good at what I did and loved it..now I sell cars smh...

I'm from the midwest but I spent 6 months working in both Everett and S. Seattle just before the pandemic hit. The only time the Seattle area ever looked good was in my rear-view mirror.

The parents allow them to hang out with punks. The music is a huge driver of their outlooks and morals.

We need more guys like that barber. Much respect to him for being an example and helping the community.

My parents never gave me any expensive presents , we were lucky we had money for the food and bill to pay which was always priority. But they did teach me to work hard and smart to get money!! Will forever thankful for that🙏🏻

That ted cop is a real police officer. True man

What we need here is a cultural overhaul where the emphasis is on pride, family, work, community, and character instead of stealing and drugs. Every culture needs this or it disintegrates and gang life is a prime example, unfortunately.

Don’t believe in gang life it’ll get you nowhere but stretched!

it's a systemic failure of urban culture...

Every family member talks about their kid being a saint once they're gone.

I moved from LA in the 80s to get away from this stuff caused by the Crack epidemic. Then WA . Started passing light on crime laws and in just about the last 5 years we are now , LA in the 80s

Good thing these videos randomly appeared in my recommended was planning on going up there on vacation this summer.

Defund the police remember? Parents need to start being held accountable for their kids action.

Those Burien cops were impressive. Police can earn respect and trust by working for the community, not against it.

I'm homeless in Everett and although I'm personally not a drug addict I can assure you fentanyl and meth are everywhere here....

Fox Los Angeles we need an updated video like this! Just like how you guys did in the 90s. I remember it was something to look forward to.

I’m not even in a gang, I’m a felon and I carry my pistol everyday because Id rather go to prison than have someone get the upper hand on me in the streets

Seattle at one point use to be safe not anymore. Parents need to be parents, and stop letting the police babysitting for them. Teach your children to earned respect by showing respect. Give them love, support and teach them the difference between right and wrong/also let them know the consequences if they choose to do something wrong. All of this in this video is senseless and futureless. The only place they're gonna end up is the ground. No more wasted air. 💯

This area reminds me of Oakland early 80s. I see this play falling apart in the next 5-7 years. Friends came up and they said reminds them of DC comics Gotham city.

MAYBE HIP HOP CULTURE NEEDS TO BE CANCELLED

You can grow up in the same apartment building and grow up a world apart.

Think of how feeble and weak minded of a human you have to be to feel disrespected by a basketball hoop!!!!!! LOL

I'm from Virginia , Eastern Virginia . Our crime problem is way worse . We have entirely more poverty . The thing that balances us out is a thing called " Commonwealth Law " . Commonwealth law works like this . If you play you pay . There is no getting out of jail until 80% of your time is served . There is no " cutting slack " when it comes to the law .

I grew up in Yesler Terrace throughout the 90s. Seems like things are coming back in full circle.

I remember Mariner high schools principal (clien) harassing me and accusing me of being affiliated with gangs, and lying saying he saw me hanging with gang members. Made me feel like that’s what everyone saw me as because of the way I look. Fix the school system too.

Section 8 causes big trouble, having aunty uncles mommas in this lifestyle and the whole neighborhood of poor people together causes kids to be raised in a hopeless lifestyle. I remember hanging out in the apartments, its concentrated you don't think about jobs or good pay or a lifestyle. Once you go broke you do anything and especially if people around you are keeping you busy distracting you from finding the way. Its hard

Gangs in Seattle is like a comedy

Can't we all just get along?

Y’all could thank swamp stories for this🤣🤣🤣🤣 👍🏾👍🏾

What role does parenting play?????????

Bro this track is fresh for being a news piece.

My condolences goes out to young man that lost his life I wish his uncle could have warn him how dangerous that lifestyle is

LOW income housing defending low income housing for the most part give me a reason

Who made that beat tho

Keep glamorizing rap culture in Hollywood and at sports half time shows, commercials. ✌🏻When are people gonna learn this is all by design.

I say you just start throwing them into the military by 14. At that age... you haven't experienced enough, but you know enough. lol

The sad is that a life was lost, the truly sad part is as a parent when do you take responsibility for raising a child that wanted to be in a gang, and let if not encourage him to be evolved in gang activity, so honestly parents are indirectly responsible for some these outcomes. If a child is under your roof that child development and direction is the parents responsibility. I know the case can be made for poverty,lack of resources, lack of jobs etc. and so forth but before you come for me and my opinion check what the parents or parent was doing to protect progeny and provide for the child that succumbed to the street life. An I promise you 9 out 10 times they neglected their part in being a good parent period.

I bet all these guys will comply with WA's new high capacity mag ban.

Just because your in a gang doesn’t mean you’re a gangster.

The appeal to being in a gang is beyond me.

I'm so sick and discusted with this world. So much evil and hate 😭🙏🕊️❤️

As a person raised by a single mother I've seen this all too much in my community. Fathers and good male role models are absent and the women raise the children void of any form of structure and stability. Shes crying! And I'm sorry for her loss but in all honestly she could have provided a better upbringing and raised him in a better environment which may have prevented all of this.

I feel a DRAFT coming on!🎖 🤪 WOOP WOOP dey it is🎤

If you are dedicated to 'the life' then you are dedicated to 'the death' these young men 'willingly' stand in line to die, go to prison, etc. to impress who?? The same community that these young men come from condone this behavior...until it ends up the way they know it will.

I'm from boundaries of Lynwood, Compton and watts. Grew up in the 80 and 90 and early 2000s and then moved to Phoenix before I moved here in 08. Gangs in Seattle if any are a joke. I come from gangland seen it all done it all but I've always worked hard and I'm a flooring contractor that works all around the greater Seattle area. If you live in the suburbs and see this video you will probably get scare. I'm Mexican American and respect everyone but Seattle is nowhere compared to L.A it will never will. Some of this idiots killing each other will always be idiots. It's not bad here at least not for me. Yeah I can name all the cities where blacks and Mexicans live and I know they are ugly but to me they are a joke. Anyways stay safe people learn how to protect yourself and never stand down on any of this idiots and also sometimes is better to just walk away but never turn your back on this cowards.

That police chief needs to be a social worker

A gang member disrespecting another gang what do you expect??

The mentality of many kids towards the teenage years that i grew in the late 90's with, lived much more wreckless into adult hood because they already assume that they have no future, COLOR OR RACE IS NOT RESTRICTED, we were all willing to die to have some kind "future" or having fun while we can OR being accepted, in essence, we all felt like "outcasts" to everyone else except the people we were with, or related in the same type of situation. So the resentment kind grew towards everyone, and we overcame that by creating or thinking we have "power" that is the problem. A bunch of kamikaze kids . This is society in poverty where youth see all the nice things they wish they had, and it all stems from when they are really YOUNG and not even adults yet! And we all know the rebellious phase of teenagers, but this is much worse because the minds are already set that they "think" they can't make it in normal society. The HUMAN NATURE is to not want to fail. Nobody wants to fail. People tend to gravitate towards what they "think" they know they can do best, in order to make it through life. The people that are stuck in such a phase cannot adapt and so the "hatred" or whatever the hell it is that they have, in their hearts, grow much stronger which gives them power to do what they do! There are people that have this raw emotion and mentality and then there are people that want to follow this type of thing. Its crazy because when i look back when we were really young kids, we were just simple minded kids having fun, playing outside, playing tag, running around the parks and playing in the arcades. innocent and everything. But everything started to change towards the teenage years into adulthood though...id say about 95% of the kids i grew up with in seattle now are either dead, in prison or on the run. The other 5% are pretty damn successful or actually at peace and content, even extremely friendly, loving to strangers and every being on this damn planet because they understand the hate they had in their hearts were just plain emotions without any guidance. A heart without a brain. Im grateful to just even be able to understand that in the end, we are all human's. Understanding enough that this type of "culture" or "gangland" as they call it, could be any single human being if given any circumstance, to grow up in this type of environment from a young age without any sort of guidance other than vanity itself. But of course, there are so many factor's, people could blame the kids upbringing, although plays a big factor, is just a small factor in a such a huge world where random events happen all the damn time.

Nice music intro.

In my opinion , I'm a Old Skool Latino from the North of California.... The law & the community need to start from the roots of the problem .... These young teenagers are looking for love or want to be loved or they want to be accepted into a loving family , and it's SO SAD 😭 , alot of the parents don't show the right love to there kids .... Teenager are tired , confused , stress out !! I believe it's the parents faults for not Showing GREAT MORALS, LOVE , and very important word , ( RESPECT for yourself , your family , and for the law enforcement and our beautiful community . And one thing people are forgetting what JESUS CHRIST 💯 DID ON that CROSS OF CALVARY !!!! JESUS' CHRIST !!! SHOWED ALL HIS LOVE ON THAT CROSS , and parents & teenagers can't even DO THAT RIGHT ....SO SAD 😭 BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE FLUNKING LOVE..... THE END .....

Wow I live in Everett and had no idea we had such a bright and intelligent mayor! Good on her and great reporting by Fox News Seattle! I can’t believe I’m able to watch this content for free!

Gangs ought to be considered terrorists and prosecuted as such.

YOU ARE EITHER PART OF THE PROBLEM OR THE SOLITION‼️‼️ SAY LESS AND DO MORE B THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN OUR COMMUNITY 👌🏽✊🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽

I lived in Tukwila from 92-99 it sucked just as bad then too. South Center would routinely get cleared out from a shooting or feds would be swarming the place from dead hookers the Green River killer dumped there. The internet just lets other people see it so they can send thoughts and prayers on Twitter while showing their friends a youtube video about it. Nothing has or will change unless it's for the worse....like by defunding the police, passing out needles and decriminalizing hard drug use.

great work by the production team most local news is a joke this was different

Thats the problem. A previous felon!? Only 8 yrs for firing a gun. But rspist get out in 3,4 years. Wooooooooow

What's up with the sound track? 🤦🏿‍♂️🙄🤷🏿‍♂️👌🏿😉

I’m from Louisville, KY and I live in Seattle now Louisville’s crime rates and murder numbers are way higher. But I understand the concern but it’s not even like that here

Just for general knowledge: If you are over the age of 17 and wear a baseball hat backwards, you look ridiculous. It doesn't make you look younger, cool, or anything else other than ridiculous.

Seattle been Seattle! And been active! Y'all just brand new!

The thing is did anybody correlate with trying to defund the police and the rise in violence. Or the no cash bail laws and the rise in violence?? It’s OK to admit that was not a good thing. There needs to be changes and there’s always bad cops there’s bad people everywhere clearly but we need to think of something FAST!! Now it’s pouring into the surrounding rural areas, I live an hour away. Not only is crime coming this way so are the rich people that are driving up the housing market..

Lmao tf is up with this video this isn't the Early 2000s lol

Why they adding rap music though

when you don't expect to live past 25 and/or see no options to make it out of poverty by walking the straight and narrow, the only other option that appeals to you is living fast and dying young. Maybe if we worked on lifting people out of poverty by providing decent paying jobs, affordable housing etc. it would help. Instead, we just get more of the same. I've lived on Casino ave and it was no joke. I'd walk from my apartment to the corner store and would regularly see drug dealers, gang bangers, & prostitutes hanging outside and unlike what most assume, they'd be friendly to you if you were a local "civilian". However, bullets don't have names on them and I heard gunshots in the area on many occasions. From what I gathered from the short conversations I had going in/out of the store was they saw no other options to make money or felt they were destined for a short life anyhow. THAT is the way to solving this problem and always has been. Gangs have been a problem here since the 90's The only thing thats changed that I can see is in the 90's it was easy to tell who was in what gang and what area "belonged" to what gang. For the most part they'd leave you alone if you weren't wearing colors, but again stray bullets don't care.

This is one reason why I do not have any sympathy whatsoever for neighborhood rappers these days when they get gunned down. These young men are dying because they're talking about another group of people on social media stupid. They don't know how to just make money and shut up. They live by the gun so they have to die by one too.

We living in the new crack era, the fent era late 10s early 20s.

Sad that they only wake up when the lights are out .

Be Glad you don’t live here Milwaukee. Seattle got it easy.

What people thought was gangster rap in the 90s and took rappers to court is now what they actually feared.. Unfortunately it's a reality

Everybody wants to be a gangster it’s the new cool thing you see it everywhere even on instagram people arguing about who more gangster or who living like that its everywhere hip hop music white kids suburbs

violence needs to stop

What a great group of kids

R.I.C.O. Act

It always amazing to me how people act surprised when someone close to them is killed when that same said person lived so reckless.. one day they making songs about how they killed someone but yet when that day comes for them their family is on the news talking how innocent and sweet their baby was. No mam, your son was a menace to the community and you knew it. In many cases the parents and the whole family know and support the non-sense. Im not saying don’t be sad, but what I am saying is don’t act as if it wasn’t bound to happen when your child is in these streets living reckless. Black culture needs a whole damn reset!

Mama knew he was a gangster and didn't whoop his ass out of it...

That barber-I bet his mama his proud! Nice work mama!!! Great son!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Feed them fear. It's the M.O of US media and there's always some politician that's got his fingers in the pie or cashing in on that fear.

18-29 send them to Ukraine. Here you’re gangster jump in and get dirty. Oh you hungry we don’t have DSHS. Bowl of borste and an AK now.

Thanks so much 🥰

fox is gettin dat slang down frfr

Such amazing policemen! Keep doing the good work of community outreach!

Love how families always love and miss them when they are gone. Meanwhile when they were here let them stay out all night, and hang with people you know are up to no good. Don’t feel sorry for anyone who looks and asks for it.

I was born in Snohomish County. I never tell anyone, it' too embarrassing. So glad we moved to Texas 50 years ago. WA is a liberal hellhole.

That beat go fire

If thugs get killed no lost sleep here.

How come they didn't talk on gangs that are inside the police department as well. That's why police hang out with children as well so they can get there dibs in first. Life is ran by gangs homie and there losing soldiers

The state is so outta touch with these young gangs, they can’t do nothing to stop it

Hey remember when criminals used to be punished? Well not anymore!

This is Seattle in the 90s

'Small segment of youth'...yeah right.

So sorry mom. He will live on through his son his family and his lyrics again to the family and to the mom my condolences

I used to live in Federal Way and I’m from the South. I cannot believe you people live the way you do. It seemed when I stood against what was wrong I ended up in jail. As far as I’m concerned the whole West Coast isn’t true America. Don’t you people know you’re a laughing stock?

If these kids spent as must time and energy making a "Dis track" as getting a job this crap won't be such a issue. Along with kids having kids. This seems to be a urban problem. You don't see this stuff in Vermont "BOYEE"

I don’t feel bad for the mothers of thugs who die! If you were a better mother he wouldn’t have been a thug. You raised him dead.

Diversity is our greatest strength.

Lack of the good parenting. Parents needs to be accountable for actions of their kids!
