The NEW A.P.

[HyeJinx1984]

xxxxing Grant...

Just when I thought the old A.P. had completely disbanded, some dumbasses start a new A.P. (for those of you not from L.A., A.P. was the largest Armenian Gang around). The more xxxx changes, the more it stays the same...

By the way, I was never clear on this... does A.P. stand for Armenian Power or Armenian Pride? I've heard both and I don't know which one it is.

[Harut82]

I'm pretty sure its Armenian Power

[HyeJinx1984]

Don't loose heart.

[Harut82]

don't shake it too much you will get dizzy

[HyeJinx1984]

From what i remember, A.P. was never much more than Armenians hanging out with each other and just looking tough so no one would xxxx with them, which of course gave off the image that they were to be xxxxed with, so they kept getting into fights... but I don't think it was ever really an organized gang with leaders or anything.

[Harut82]

did some googling

Another gang to watch is Armenian Power. They're getting more powerful and more violent, according to an officer with LAPD CRASH (Community Response Against Street Hoodlums), who says they're moving drugs and weapons and are highly mobile. What most disturbs law enforcement is that Armenian Power is transcending turf and cooperating with other gangs to maximize profits. "I don't want to use a term like supergang, but they're crossing gang lines for different purposes," the CRASH officer reports. "They come together for that purpose, then disband again."

Alley Street Locos (ASTL) 4 A small and not very active gang that is forced share territory with both,Mara Salvatrucha and Armenian Power. Main revenue source Drugs, but they don't have the connections, the guns or the money to be major players. Favorite hangout Alcove Avenue and Barbara Ann Street.

Armenian Power (AP) 4 For this gang it`s all about the money. They don't waste time standing in the corner drinking malt liquor; they don`t look for fights with other gangs. They are efficient pragmatic businessmen. And they may dress like gangsters, but they drive lowered cherried-out BMWs and Lexuses. Main revenue source Drugs.

Then I gotta wonder, are there two A.P.s? One real one that deals in organized crime, and another that's basically just a bunch of bored Grant and NH students who want to seem tough?

[Crimson Glow]

Maybe the latter are posers only claiming to be part of A.P. Sure are a lot of those in the AC chat room.

[HyeJinx1984]

Probably. But at the same time I really can't picture organized crime business men in their mid to late twenties calling themselves "A.P." that's just such a juvinile concept. There is an Armenian ogranized crime element in Los Angeles, but it's not A.P., I think it's something far more secretive than that, and we call them A.P. because it's the only name we know.

[HyePrincess]

there was an actual gang A.P but i heard it died out AND there was AFL (armenian for life) that died out to once i saw taggings on a wall and it had AFL on some parts of that wall and now youngster are tying to bring back so called A.P and the grant teens just make crews and call it A.P ,but im curious is there any other armenian gangs. most of them lie and say that there in A.P.

Then I gotta wonder, are there two A.P.s? One real one that deals in organized crime, and another that's basically just a bunch of bored Grant and NH students who want to seem tough?

I think thats exactly what it is ;)

...which is why eugenics is the key!

[gevo]

I'm pretty sure its Armenian Power
it is. and.. OHH NOOOOO not a new gang... well.. these lonely bastardes dumbasses dont have anything better to do, so they have to come together, beat eachother up and call eachother brothers and think theya re kewl by wearing bandanas and having meetings during hte day in gas stations and driving wannabe kewl cars and talking to girls like "hey xxxxx. why dont you come over and give my friends and me some... you make the rest" and the best part is (funniest) these very kids are like angles at home.. (most of them)... if one ever tries to talk to me ill take my shirt off rap it around my head and say "what were you saying".. perhaps ill also look kewl to them then..

I dont think there is anything secret about armenians opening pharmacies screwing the government by false claims of medical usage and then going bankrupt.. HAHAHHAA :laugh: , during the mid 90's i saw a rise in the number pf pharmacies around.. and since about a few years back i have been hearing more and more of them closing out, being followed by the FBI.. and just currently, someone i know personally was arrested by the FBi for fraud... i think that Armenians are to good at this organized crime chit... lol.. then again.. every single one of them will eventualyl pay.. :) (she is one $350K bail ;) )

ap stands for ass pounders.

becuase they are a disgrace to armenians eveyrwhere.

Back in the early 80s, it was to protect most of the Armenian girls when otars bothered them at school and such. Now its the girls that need protection from some of them.

Its really a shame about what AP has become and the large amount of "lagots" there are in AP nowadays.

[nunechka]

my brother was in AP, he has the freagin tattoo... it is armenian power

i hate this stupid machoism...

i guess the guys are just bored...

[K0nArtist]

Actually I had some close friends who were in CATALINA STREET BOYS (CSB), which is a small time armenian gang in sun valley, but they are also tied with Armenian Power down in Glendale. Armenian Power died out back in the late 1990's, and when it was completely disbanded, more than 50% of the A.P. members went off to other gangs and krews..

A.P. isn't COMPLETELY dead, there are still some O.G. heads in it that still probably rep it once in a while, but they have no fighting chance what so ever if xxxx were to go off in there part of town.

The biggest Armenian gang that i know in 818, 323, etc.. would have to be CSB, Catalina Street Boys.. they got some crazy ass fools in that xxxx to be honest, fools that are down to xxxxin kill someone and xxxx.

anyways im out, lates

[One-Way]

[Anahita]
