don't know what hood u grew up in but not all 'thugs' are created equal.
u got some dudes that are just soldiers and basically are just down. then u have dudes who are the real killers that even dudes in their own set are afraid of. u got dudes that will fly their colors anywhere. saw a soldier hit up an lapd officer that was right next to um. don't know why he felt it necessary to throw his set in the air and hit up the cop though
but don't just think all thugs 'need' the dudes in their set or their heat to be hard. cause u gonna fuk around and hit the wrong one up thinking that and get in a situation that needed need 2 b started. there are a lot of intricacies in gang culture that dudes that never grew up in a gang environment will ever understand
