i agree with lethargic. i got a few homeboys that got out and had to move from they own neighborhood. i know good cats that still bang though, a few regret it, the rest are too far in to ever fuck around and get out.
my guy was killed around two months back when he was rollin to a wendys. you know shits fucked up when youn cant get a damn bacon an cheddar without gettin capped. from what ive heard, it was over some stupid shit he did. but he wouldnt have been killed for it if he had been like you or i.
and the whole thing about how you said, i like these gangs, and dont like these.... thats bullshit generalization. that needs to go. i mean, sayin you like certain gangs and dislike others simply because they are what they are, sounds like youre already tryin to bang. cut that.
im cool with mothafuckas from all sets, it dont matter to me. one of my coolest boys is 20s G.D. My other guy is 30s Blood. We all get along because weve known each other since we were shorties. The only reason theyre in the gangs theyre in, is because of where they live. One lives on 25th, the other on 38th. If you want people to know you by what street you live on, then go ahead.
Id recommend against it.

Oh and, until you get into a gang, dont be talkin all this shit about folks, crips, what ever. thats laim enough when you do bang, and when you dont, its fuckin absurd. if you wanna know about a real gang banger who got out after at least 20 years of putin in work, get the book Monster Kody. He was buckin shots when he was 11, ended up in prison for some shit i cant remember. He ended up turnin muslim. The fucked up thing is, he was an eight trey gangster crip, at war with the sixties crips. The number one killer of crips, IS CRIPS. So explain gang loyalty to me... (and dont say its just crips who kill each other).
