Why did you join a gang, what did you get out of it and was it worth it?

[cashwhisperer]

Of course, no self-snitching.

Go.

It was government sponsored gang. They give out cool uniforms to wear so we would all match. The GI Bill, VA Home Loan, free flights around the world, on the job training, learned how to handle various weapons, many more perks. Even the Drill Instructor said, "Once we graduate, we are in a gang and our colors are Green."

Some of the perpetrators went to an ATM while some stayed with the victim, a pillowcase was placed over his head while being stabbed repeatedly. It is stated that Juan was tortured until he gave them the correct pin number to his debit card.

As a result of the severe injuries, Juan Sustiata, is no longer able to perform his job as a pipefitter and lost his source of income. The perpetrators were later arrested after trying to use Sustiata’s credit card to purchase gas.

Not a gang per say but I followed my older brother's and they hung around other juveniles who had no supervision at all,not a good home,parents didn't give a fuck so it's a bunch of bad asses coming together to form unity amongst themselves cause you're tougher together than individually.The group tagged J-crew on the walls but no one paid it no attention,it was just some more writing over the writing that was already there.If you want to call that a gang,fine but that's as far as that gang shit went with me cause I had something stronger and more solid and that was my family,my father, uncles,brothers,cousins...it's not a gang it's family.


The gangs shit in my city died out in the 90's
