No I'm no in gang. I knew a lot of people who had been or are in though. It depends on how 'deep' the gang is to know how much trouble they cause. Some of them used bats and were against guns...some people only used knives...it really just depends. The way they wear their flag is also a sign of what they use and what they plan on doing. :/ People join for countless reasons. For some it is the lack of family and everlasting need for one, for some it is a way to get even with another 'gang' that did something to you or loved ones, or others it is a very strong need to be accepted, for others it is in the family and that is all they know, and still for some it has to do with that being the only way they know how to release their anger. Those are very few of some reasons people join. I hope I was helpful.
