The Nazi Lowriders are a criminal syndicate and a Lowrider Car Club that are based in Southern California and are active in Southern California. Nazi Lowriders are also known collectively as The NLR and are also collectively known as The Ride of Nazi Lowriders.

Origins

Nazi Lowriders were formed in Kern County, Southern California and in Los Angeles County, Southern California in the late 1960s as a gang of members who owned Chevy Lowrider vehicles with origins in the Southern California Lowrider Car Culture Community. They were first seen and documented by U.S. authorities on the border of East Los Angeles, Southern California and in Kern County, Southern California in the mid 1970s.

The name of the gang was originally a play on words as being the most Racially Pure of the Hispanic Car Clubs in Southern California as the gang fought their enemy Hispanic Lowrider Gangs and overcame their rival Hispanic Lowrider Gangs in Southern California. The U.S. legal system in place in Southern California by invading Non-Hispanic White Population Groups favored the racially pure. The Nazi Lowriders did not start as a Neo-Nazi gang, they started as a Hispanic Car Club.

Nazi Lowriders formed their own Prison Gang in Southern California in the late 1970s as they were incarcerated for street crimes and they later in 1997 formed a small alliance with the original members of the Aryan Brotherhood of Southern California. The Nazi Lowrider Car Club and the Nazi Lowrider Prison Gang are the same and these entities were not founded by John Stinson or by the Aryan Brotherhood and in fact the Nazi Lowriders existed in Southern California long before the founding of the Aryan Brotherhood in Southern California. The Nazi Lowriders were later formed as a White-Hispanic Car Club of Southern California in the late 1960s and the 1970s.

Collected media and video footage in Southern California namely from Lowrider Magazine of Southern California as well as from video news reports from Video News Reporting Agencies in Los Angeles, Southern California show the Nazi Lowriders in street races near Boyle Heights in Los Angeles, Southern California in the early 1990s and in Lowrider Car Shows in Central Los Angeles, Southern California and near West Los Angeles, Southern California in the mid 1990s to the mid 2000s.

History of California Immigration and Formation of Street Gangs

Non-Hispanic White street gangs and African-American street gangs did not actually exist in Southern California before or during the arrival of Non-Hispanic Whites and African-Americans into Southern California and the waves of immigration of Non-Hispanic Whites into Southern California from the 1920s to the 1960s. Compton, Los Angeles in Southern California was originally a Non-Hispanic White neighborhood from the 1940s to the late 1960s afterwhich a wave of African-Americans overtook the area and visibly formed a street gang known as the Cripps where then after the Bloods began as a new branch. The Bloods were originally a cultural part of the Cripps. The Cripps were slowly forced to move away from Compton, Los Angeles in Southern California throughout the late 1990s to the early to mid 2000s while they were at occupational war with invading enemy Hispanic gangs. The Cripps gang were founded by Hispanics before they began recruiting African-Americans in the 1970s. In the late 1990s it was revealed to Los Angeles gangland that the Cripps were in fact formed by Hispanics while they used African-American gang members as a visible and showable force.

The primary waves of immigration of Non-Hispanic Whites into Southern California began after the 1930s and included numerous waves of immigration of Non-Hispanic Whites from the Southern-Central United States. California State Law was previously ennacted to illegalize the immigration of any Americans from other U.S. States into California and Spanish California did not actually end socially until the early 1900s. Every U.S. State west of the New England Colony States became a recognized and ratified U.S. State after the early to mid 1900s. Oklahoma State for instance was not actually a recognized and ratified U.S. State until after 1920 because it was still called Indian Territory while the U.S. maintained efforts of colonizing Indian Territory and everything west of Indian Territory by White Settlers. The Dust Bowl of the areas of Oklahoma brought waves of Surviving American Indians as well as Non-Hispanic Whites from the areas known as Indian Territory into Southern California beginning in the mid 1930s. While the U.S. encouraged expansion and settling in and further west of Indian Territory most of California safeguarded its territorial borders and restricted immigration. The dominating social force in California was known as the Californias and Arizona and New Mexico was still primarily South-West American Indian that lived in and traveled in bands. Most American Indians of the South West moved away to areas in México after battling with the U.S. in the early 1900s.

Italians and Italian-Americans did not actually begin waves of immigration into California until after the 1950s and the migration of the affected of the Dust Bowl did not have any Italian population groups because the U.S. government did not allow Italians or Italian-Americans to claim any land in the Oklahoma Land Rush or in any Indian Territory because none of them fought in any of the wars for U.S. President Andrew Jackson, and war participation was required in order to secure land ownership in Indian Territory by those White European Settlers.

In military terminology Occupation refers to agendized groups of people who literally move into the houses in the area or else into the area in order to take over the area while they go to war with the local population groups and move more allies into that area in order to own it in every way possible.

The primary waves of concentrated illegal immigration of Non-Latino Slav ( Russians, Ukrainians, Armenians, Eastern Europeans ) and Latino-Slav into California did not begin until the early to mid 2000s as they began colonizing areas in Central America and South America and began traveling north to the borders of the U.S. and México.

History and Origins In The Southern California Hispanic Lowrider Car Culture

The phrase: Nazi Lowrider is a phrase that was coined by the founder of this Car Club as members of this Car Club went to war with their enemy gangs notably the gang known as the Cripps which is a word that is usually shortened to the word Crips and is a gang that was and is exclusively based in Southern California. The Nazi Lowriders also went to war with the Cripp counterpart gangs that are known as the Bloods all throughout the 1980s in Southern California and later they went to war with the Cripp owned Car Club collectively known as the Druid Car Club all throughout the 1990s and the early to mid 2000s. Many of the original Cripp gang members were part Hispanic and or mixed with Hispanic and African heritage whereas the members of the Nazi Lowriders were more racially pure than all others out of all of the Lowrider Car Clubs in Southern California, hence the phrase: Nazi Lowrider.

The Cripps later formed more alliances with the Latin-American community in Southern California whereas the Nazi Lowriders formed more alliances with the existing Non-Hispanic White communities in Southern California and the existing White-Hispanic communities in Southern California.

The words Latino and Latina refer to people with Latin-American heritage. Latin-American countries are all of the countries that are south of the country of México. While Méxicans can be considered Hispanic because they speak a dialect of the language of Spanish not all Méxican Citizens or Méxican Nationals have origins from the country of México and many Méxicans have both American Indigenous and Spanish ( From Spain ) heritage whereas Californianos and Californianas which are technically multi-generational Californians and are people that descend from the era of Spanish California. Chicanos and Chicanas are a completely different Hispanic group.

Unique Contributions To The Lowrider Car Culture of Southern California

Nazi Lowriders contributed significant advancements to the Lowrider Car Culture of Southern California most notably the extended hydraulic suspension engineering schemes where some of their lowrider cars could extend up to 25 feet or more into the air where members could jump through second-story hotel and motel windows to fight enemies as well as to collect money and Nazi Lowrider' Lowriders that were seen between the 1980s and the 1990s were extremely unique. They also wrote advanced custom web application software from the late 1990s to the mid 2000s that could run from any Internet Web Browser where it would automatically resize itself to any electronic device display resolution including from low budget mobile cell phone devices where any of the members could send messages to any other member to request pick up anywhere including by G.P.S. Location, send orders, make VoIP phone calls and more. This was extremely useful for members to communicate long distance where S.M.S. and early social media limited communication speed while traveling with a mobile electronic cell phone or a mobile electronic laptop or notebook computer. The web application software was also very useful for traveling in groups through Los Angeles County, Southern California and Kern County, Southern California.

The founder of the Nazi Lowrider Car Club can be seen with his son and his wife in the 1990, 1991 issues of Lowrider Magazine of Southern California.

Banishment of Lowrider Vehicles

In the 1990s and in the early 2000s in Kern County, Southern California as well as in different cities in Los Angeles County, Southern California numerous city officials within these counties banned Lowrider Racing Vehicles with hydraulics because the lowrider gangs could easily beat all of the Law Enforcement and the Military everywhere in California by using those engineered lowrider vehicles. Law Enforcement could not keep up with the speed of the Lowrider Racing Vehicles with Hydraulics and no one could hide from the maneuverability of those vehicles. Some Nazi Lowriders were known to have extended suspension hydraulics that could not be mimicked by other lowrider gangs where the entire vehicle could be raised sometimes up to 25 feet or more into the air with hydraulics as well as to tactically shield from enemy gun fire.

Membership Requirements

The original Nazi Lowriders required members to prove specific and rare Hispanic ancestral heritage, but no Latin American heritage and no Negroid heritage. People with any Latin-American heritage were not allowed membership in the Nazi Lowrider Car Club or the Nazi Lowrider Prison Gang. Nazi Lowriders also required members to own a specific Chevy Vehicle with or without hydraulics. Lowrider Chevy vehicles were required in order to beat all of the street-level gangs without vehicles as well as to beat all of the rival Lowrider gangs. Members were also required to own a hand-gun so that member could engage in drive by shootings on their enemies from the lowrider vehicle. Hydraulics were later necessary in order to beat all of the enemies that hid in motels and hotels in Southern California as well as to tactically defend against gun fire from enemy gangs. Chevy vehicles that were manufactured between the 1960s to the late 1970s had extremely tough and high quality metals where .22 caliber and .40 caliber rounds could not penetrate through the metals if the vehicle doors and vehicle frames were reinforced with bullet proof goop and bullet proof mechanisms.
