What's it like being in a gang?
#22059185 - 08/07/15 03:22 PM (8 years, 5 months ago) |

I grew up in an fairly upscale area. So my question is; what is it like actually being in a gang? I know a few people from my hometown became large scale E, meth, heroin and coke dealers. Although they most likely have connects to latino gangs in the area, I doubt that they actually joined any gangs. I was wondering if any here has a closer/more personal perspective of what exactly gang life was like?
What did you do? Any crazy stories? How did you get involved?

Stupid That's it If you join a gang, you are a moron Please get shot and die gang members. Its a great deal my our fault the black community has a bad image. Gangsters are a damn joke, and everyone should hate and laugh at them, no matter what color they are or gang they are in Maybe I'm being insensitive to their life circumstance. I don't know anymore

They are a bad joke. Are you a fan of county young men who use violence to enslave communities. Who hide behind the fact we can't just arrest and execute/attempt to save them because we have a country of pussies who would freak at some gang member getting gunned down while between crimes? We follow these gangs in big cities and we can't do much it seems.
I also like Blue Velvet. That Roy Orbison cover that person sings is fucking amazing

I can't talk about thuggish gangs in the ghetto's of some run down city. I can only speak from my personal experience.
I grew up in a section 8 housing district in an unincorporated county. We had no local police, we would have Sheriffs that would occasionally come through every now and again when a store was robbed, or gun shots we're reported, regardless the average response time to a gun shot was 30 minutes.
It had a few legit gang members in town, but not to the extent of what would be considered mass gang violence, I think in the 20 years I lived in that neighborhood, about five or six people died as a direct result of gang violence, a relative eventually went to prison for Kidnapping in a gang related incident.
I think I was lucky enough to be on the right side of things, I wasn't fucked with too much by other people, mostly fearful of repercussions of said "gangsters", the time I spent in it, wasn't really to based off of the thug mentality, but we did do lots of cool stuff, and sold a lot of drugs. Typical trap house environments, broken homes, and heavy drug abuse.
Being a member of a gang in a poverty stricken neighborhood has it's benefits, less likely to get robbed, jumped on the streets, etc. However, a large majority of my childhood friends are now in prison, some for life. I think I know two or three friends who died from being involved in a gang, so it is not always as much a protection as it would seem.
They eventually built a police station in the area, and started doing mass sweeps and clean ups.

Gangs are bad because they fuck each others girlfriends and steal from each other they also get bullied at home or have a lot of responsibility on their shoulders at a young age
gang members think they're the shit because they have endless friends, fame and money until something bad happens and the judge wants to put them in jail for twenty years for their third strike
all the people that talk shit about gang members would never do anything actively to stop them or prevent them they would rather avoid them for being lazy, call them faggots, dirtbags, assholes and "niggers." or "spics" than concede that gang members aren't really any more evil then anyone else who's ever wanted to have friends or be addicted to heroin and cocaine(alcohol & tobacco)
that's why I think people are so phoney, they're scared of the people they collectively bash, steal, kidnap and extort for tax money day in and day out Most people hate men for acting like men and recoil at their shiney complexion and "cool" clothes.
Not saying gangmembers don't rip you off or selectively cut you off

I've never been in one, but I would assume it's much different experience if you're a guy compared to a girl.

I remember wanting to be a thug gangster when I was younger. A lot of kids wanted to be but now the gang culture doesn't exist, it's been replaced with this trap lord/trapper culture which is more about selling drugs, trapping, and money which focuses more on individuality then on like a gang. Both were stupid but I think this trap lord/trapper culture that replaced the whole gang culture is a lot more stupid. The gang culture was more respectable then this retarded trapping culture (at least gang culture have us good rap music like NWA and 2pac, all trapping culture gave us is retarded rappers who can't speak correctly like Chief Keef), it's fucking stupid and faker then fuck.

I've never been in a gang; but I was in a boy band, which is much like a gang. We were called Peach Fuzz and did the state fairs circuit.

Many gangs were formed in chicago to protect their fellow race from racial violence from other races. They were actually praised back in the day. They actually helped their communities. Long time ago though. Now its all drug turf. I've lost a few freinds and family to gang violence. Some were actually targeted and some just in the wrong place wrong time. Ive actually been shot at a few times, luckily never been hit. They dont ask questions anymore they just assume you're a rival because you are in the rival neighborhood and shoot.
