Street gangs have been around almost since the beginning of time. In our century, we have organized crime(Mafia) and then we have the very disorganzied,Street gangs.
Back in the the 80's,when I grew up, I lived in the hood,so to speak! I was friends with Bloods,Crips,Latin Kings, and so on. These guys and gals,were the real deal! They lived the Hustler's life. But for a different reason than the posers,today do....survival!!!
Often times,back then you had guys that were young teenage Fathers. They were 13 to 19 years of age. Granted,they got themselves into that situation. But they hustled and joined street gangs, as a means of providing for their kids, not for image,like a lot of you hosers today. Some of them did find other jobs and moved on. And of course, a lot of them got killed by rival gangs.
Today, you have gangsta wanna-be's, who really don't have a clue, as to what it is,to be a true gangsta! You go around and grafitti everything you can, vandalize people's property, and make feeble attempts at trying to strike terror, in your neighborhood! At least, the Street-Gang members that I knew, still respected their elders, and loved their Mom's and Dad's.

Street gangs are centered in the core of inner-cities. So, it's really hard for me, to take any of these thug wanna-be's seriously.Almost all of them are very spoiled rotten brats,looking for image. If you are living in a sub-urb, you are not a gangster!!! If you still ride around, in your Mom's Mini-van or Mom-mobile, you are not a gangster!!! So, pull up your pants,get a belt, and get a clue! Tagging people's mail boxes, homes, cars, and other properties, doesn't make you a gangster! It just makes you an annoyance, nothing more. And about the droopy-drawers thing. Where you wear your pants ten sizes too big,with no belt. That indeed, was started in prisons. But it wasn't started there, as a means of fashion.Oh No! In prison,if your pants are sagging down, it means you are a prison b****!!! You are to be passed around to the other inmates for sexual pleasure! Still think that your droopy drawers are gangster?

All of you teenagers, who do this, remind me of the movie,"Malibu's Most Wanted." The movie that Jamie Kennedy stars in. His father is running for Gov. of California, and his Dad tries to scare him white. What was silly, was the fact that he lived in MALIBU!!! Get am identity of your own,is what I'm getting at! As I said in my last blog, you are in control of your own future. No one else!

My point to all of this is,if you continue to vandalize people's properties,and make an annoyance of yourselves,eventually, you are going to cross a homeowner, that doesn't care who you are. They may even have a firearm! And you may be caught in a bad situation, that you can't get out of!

And That's The Bottom Line!!!
