L.A. Gang Tours - Yes, L.A. Gang Tours!
Thanks to Jane Peters I just had to re-blog this. A very interesting idea and if you read the comments you will hear all sides in favor and against these tours.
I just happened to catch a report about the inaugural tour check out this link to hear how it went. INAUGURAL L.A. GANG TOUR THANKS TO NPR RADIO
There is an audio link to the report aired. ---Gloria
There is a new venture in Los Angeles offering tours through Los Angeles gang turf.
These are high end specialty tours of top crime scene areas of South Central Los Angeles.
The first tour on January 16th was sold out! Passengers received a discount of $35 on the regular $100 per head ticket and signed waivers that they were aware they could become crime victims and agreed to put themselves in the hands of ex-gang members who had negotiated a cease-fire in the most violent gang area in the U.S.
The objective of these tours, which are scheduled to run once a month, is to create jobs for residents of South Central and to inject money back into the community. It also promotes the continuation of a cease fire in certain designated areas in exchange for the tour operators hiring some of their youth for employment and training opportunities. Designated routes and times are being honored by participating gangs.
