Ash street shootout

Ash street shoot out 1989
Rangers vs the Crips
Seems like the direction we are headed may lead us to more "self reliance and self policing "of our communities.
Maybe more cookouts and friendly get together's is exactly what we need!
I can only imagine how differently this would have turned out had @TheHorta showed up with a trunk full of gear !

I'd be curious to know if anyone involved was here on the hide ?

That Time Army Rangers Got in a Gunfight with the Crips Street Gang

Army Sgt. Bill Foulk bought a house in a rough neighborhood as an investment. He wanted to protect it.

Yes. One of the cats involved was looking over my shoulder the first time I shot 1k.

Amazing there wasn't bodies laying in the street. I'm going to assume nods were not used in that scenario.

All that shooting and no one hurt? WTF?

I would have expected the gang members to lose some at least.

Couple PVS-5s and some PEQ2s would have made all The difference.

I remember that story from back then. I remember being disappointed that all those shots fired and no hits on the gangbangers.

Responses like these are one of the reasons you wont hear anyone speak up about it. Sub 100’s will sub 100

It's interesting to me that this story blowing up online all over right now. Because a buddy of mine, and neighbour, was one of the Rangers that was there! And I got to hear some first-hand of it when we where hanging out, bbq'ing, at my house a few weeks ago.
Strange timing.
