So you want to join a gang. What could happen to you if you pursue your quest of the downward spiral of life that you seek.
Do you want to be in a fight with 3 or more gang members, for a set amount of time? This process is called (Jumped in, Rolled in, or Lined in) It tells the gang how tough you are. Lined in - is where you have walk, run, crawl towards the end between two rows of gang members while they beat you to a pulp. How are you going to explain this to your parents or other family members about how your face looks when you get home? What are you going to do when they want to make a report to the police?
Or you could be (Courted in) - Is your talent Stealing, do you know someone who sells drugs, do you have the only car on your block and you don't mind if it is used for illegal activity? Do you want to be taken advantage of, used, do you want to get caught and spend time in jail or most likely prison? Than you might be Courted.
Or you could be asked to join a gang this is called (Walked in)
Are you a female who has the desire to join a gang? To be used by more than one gang member? Roll the dice, if you roll a six than you will be required to have sex with six of the gang members. Another words what ever number you roll with 2 dice than that will be how many partners you will have to be with before you are a gang member. And you want to join a gang!
Do you want to commit crimes against the people in your town? Would you be willing to steal someones auto?
Are you a thief? Do you want to go to jail or prison? Can you live with your self if you have to kill someone? What will your grandmother think? Do you want to have children at a young age? Do you want to be addicted to drugs or alcohol? These are just some of the things that you should think about before you attempt to join a gang.
If you do decide to join a gang you might want to think about where you want to be buried. Keep your little brother or sister away from you because you never know when they might be a victim of a drive by. By the way what will you do if you get an STD?

Gang Definitions
What is considered a gang? Well a gang is a GROUP. A gang can be defined as a gathering of three or more people in one place, that has a name, has a leader, and that meets on a regular basis, and claims a geographic area.
The Federal Definition of a gang is "an ongoing group, club, organization, or association of five or more persons. So one could say that the woman's axillary at the local church is a gang, or that a neighborhood watch is also one, or the schools PTA. Now what is the difference?
Oklahoma's definition of a gang goes like this "Criminal street gang that specifically either promotes, sponsors, or assists in, or participates in, and requires as a condition of membership or continued membership, the commission of one or more criminal acts"
A street gang member: is any person who actively participates in criminal gang activity, and who willfully promotes, furthers, or assists in any felonious criminal activity.
Or a group of two or more individuals who share an on-going relationship with one another and support of each other individually or collectively, in the reoccurring commission of delinquent and criminal acts.
Gang members use names other than their given or birth name that describe their individual traits. Their gang name is usually a description of where they are from. The gang is usually territorial and will defend their turf, often trying to expand that area, with graffiti, marking and defining the lines of their territory. Most individual gang members will dress the same way or as close as possible, to show who they are and they will "throw" gang signs.
So these gangs mark up our neighborhoods with graffiti, have gang tattoos, wear the same type of clothing or color, "throw" hand gang signs in public to communicate with each other, and make people afraid of them.
This is the difference between Good gangs and Bad gangs
Past Gang Definitions:
In 1912 a gang was defined as one of the three primary social groups formed in response to deep seated but unconscious needs.
In 1927 a gang was defined as a group formed spontaneously and then integrated through conflict.
in 1982 a gang is a group of lawbreakers who are primarily around violence and other illegal activities.

Good Gangs vs Bad Ones
Good gangs:
The above mentioned examples are considered a group of persons working together having an informal and usually close social relations. They gather together with a common goal in mind. The woman's axillary to help promote social activities in the church, putting together a quilt, or a cookbook. The Neighborhood watch was formed to put an end to criminal activity in their neighborhoods. The schools PTA was formed for the benefit of the school children. All three examples each form a gang to help promote the betterment of the community.
