Around 20 Rolling 60s gang members were arrested early this morning during a birthday party at Platinum Live on Ventura Boulevard, which was rented for the event.

"They're one of the larger gangs in South Los Angeles," said LAPD Sgt. Dan Horan. "They're well established. There was a gang injunction against them in the neighborhood that they claim. That area around there is Slauson and Crenshaw in South Los Angeles. They are large in number and notorious in their activity."

More people would have been arrested, but a malfunctioning computer to check parole violations led to others being released on scene.

The club space has been for sale for a couple years now, according to real estate documents. Wanna buy a nightclub?

Nothing says gangsta like partying in Studio City.

crazy, this is right by my house. I wonder why they didn't rent out a club closer to their home turf? Crenshaw is 20 miles from Studio City.

Exactly what I was thinking. What, were they planning on riding out their buzz at the artisinal cheese shop down the street?

Yeah, I want my b-day at the Artisan Cheese Shop!

Going by my expansive gangster knowledge derived from watching Boyz N The Hood, Menace II Society, and Colors, I think they moved their party 20 miles away so they could congregate without fear of getting shot up by rivals.

Isn't that the same name of the place where someone set another person ON FIRE here like about a month or 3 ago?

Oh man, Slauson and Crenshaw. 8 months ago, I would have said their TURF was right by my house, not their party spot.
