In Camden there's Blood AFFILIATES and subsets, and Latin Kings are around in probably the same number. But in the course of street-level-buying, you generally hear absolutely nothing about anyone's gang affiliation, and I've been told by reputable people that there's never any kind of turf wars or any of that bullshit. It's pointless and only brings the violence that brings the cops that ruins your business possibilities. In the past few years I'd have to say that reported violence at sets in this city is pretty damn rare, and everyone benefits from it. Don't beat anyone on either end and no one should feel like your bodily safety is in jeopardy

.
To sum in up I don't think increased police operations relate to gangs in any primary way.
NaturalFLAVA I agree with you, it's cooled down, but just be on your toes like you always should be anyway, and you'll be fine.
Da Source is in and out, I'm not going to say any more than that on a public board online. Here's a tip: next time you go to Source and pick up successfully, tell them you'll be back for a lot more soon if it's good, and get a phone number from them. And then the next time you go back, any time you give your money to a different person, get THEIR number too. That way you'll always know how hot it is, and can possibly coordinate off-the-street meetups. But DON'T just call them to ask them how hot it is for god's sake,
they'll TELL you if there's a problem, they hang out there 16 hours a day, they'd know, and they're not going to send you into some war zone if it's a stupid idea.
Jake my man, nothing personal, but we ALL wanna know what the deal with Camden is, that's why this thread is here and that's why there's 75 posts in it. What we do is try to talk to people privately, meet people in the know, do our own research, and spend hours listening to the scanner I posted. No one is withholding info from you bro. If we knew something, we'd post it
Just speaking IN GENERAL: Sometimes some people will ask the same question about a dozen times if not more, sometimes rephrasing it and sometimes not. This is a discussion forum, if we know something, we'll be sure to discuss it. Some questions don't have an easy answer and we try to come up with one together, and some questions, only the asker will know the answer to. Some questions don't deserve their own thread, nor several all over the place. It's not usually necessary to start more than 55 threads in a two-month period. This is a huge forum and the search tool is a great feature, almost everything but VERY personal circumstances already has a place for discussion.
Now I'm not calling anyone out................. or anything.................................................. it's just something I see a lot lately. Take care everybody
