Gangs on Catalina Island

A drive-by from a golf cart?! That would be kind of pathetic, wouldn't it?

They yell "fore" before they do a drive by.

As one of our local college students said, the only gang here is the "Gang in Green." They wear guns on their side and badges on their chest. After a changing of the guard, some of the new sheriffs here on the island have created this gang story to give them something to do instead of playing solitaire in the station all night. Please understand, this is not a blanket condemnation of all police men or women. We still have several here who understand they are in a small community rather than South Central or East LA, and act accordingly.

It is beyond my understanding why some of them helped create this story. I worry a lot more about the drunken idiot that just stepped off his boat after crossing the mainland, since they begin most of the fights I observe out here.

I would not let this story worry anyone. I do advise single women to be cautious if they are walking alone late at night on the outskirts of the town. There have been some problems. Of course it's even more dangerous for them to walk with me up to my home after I offer them protection.

I was thinking the same thing...

Reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where George was in a "High speed" chase by the old people in the wheelchair scooters.

heheh , except instead of leather jackets and Harleys, his gang wears holey wetsuits and drives golf carts

I'd be more afraid of someone in a hoody and baggy shorts driving an Acura with blacked out windows than a leather jacket and Harley..........

Hmmm..... I wonder if the gangs on Catalina have "lowered golf carts" with BIG rims that spin ? :ROFL3:

Funnier than the drive by in a golf cart would be the subsequent high speed chase through the one square mile of streets!

Yes Virginia, there are gangs on Catalina.
Their behavior may seem strange to some but it all has some purpose say gang experts. The gangs tend to congregate on a small spit of land just out of sight from Avalon behind the Casino. They all seem to dress in the same bizarre black neoprene with silvery tanks strapped to their backs and strange long flat shoes. Some gang experts suggest this must indicate they may have some strange sexual connotation to their appearance while others suggest the tanks are disguising a “huffing” habit that is only satisfied by inhaling huge quantities of this voodoo gas.

They all are forced to endure some sort of baptismal ceremony where small groups are sent down a strange set of stairs that leads directly into the open sea. Some seem competent and secure while others are obviously nervous and hesitant. Eventually everyone is required to take a turn under the sea where other bizarre rituals and tests must take place.

Upon completion of the rituals, the gangs change into normal street clothes in an effort to mask their true reason for the visit. However, most seem to drag a large black bag or case that officials have learned to spot. Officer H. Eavy Badge, also warns that once a year around February, huge numbers of the black clad huffing cult, swarm Avalon Harbor, retrieving many of the artifacts and idols sent to the bottom in previous ceremonies. Vacationers are advised not to visit the island during this bizarre weekend.

How can there be just one gang?
Doesn't that take away the point of being in a gang?
