The Peacemaker: LA Gang Wars, Season 1 Review

I decided to buy and watch a DVD TV series based on American street gangs, in order to learn about them, to be more understanding of the people as individuals in benignity.

After watching the second episode of The Peacemaker: LA Gang Wars, Season 1, I noticed that although the Crips and Bloods have a "truce" in California, it doesn't seem to be very consistent, and even Crips war with other blocks of Crips, which are the first two episodes of 2 different groups of local Crip gangs in conflict.

The term 'Crip' comes from one of the original members have an impaired disability to do with his legs, and a fellow gang member writing 'Crip' on his Converse sneakers.

Overall the second episode was nice to watch, to and to see the humanity of the individuals when tried to make peace, in a conflict resolution group.

It seems like when people who clash at a distance get together and meet face to face in an attempt to get to know each other, they are confronted with each other's humanity, where otherwise several retaliation murderers could have happened back and forth between the two groups. The TV show's host is really brilliant for using this way of ending likely and senseless conflict.
