Questions about Gang Life
Answers
How did you run into the gang, and did they help you learn to fight and
shoot a gun?
I grew up around the gang. They didn’t teach me how to fight; I taught
myself. The gang taught me how to spend the rest of my life in prison. You
can’t learn anything good from a gang

When did you start being in a gang? How did you start? Why were you in a
gang?

I was one of the original people in the gang. We started out as a group of
friends just wanting to have fun. I started our gang in ‘87 when I was
thirteen just hanging around with each other.
I was gangbanging at the time to earn power and respect.

I joined the gang to make money. My gang has been around since 1941 but it
started up in San Francisco in 1970.

I joined my gang at eleven years old and, to be honest, I can’t say just
one thing made me do it. We were poor and gangs pervaded the way to and
from school. My uncles were all in gangs and my home life was terrible. I
didn’t feel loved and I was a scared child in a cruel world who had to
play tough or be someone’s pet victim - get my money, shoes, or bike taken
from me. I’m now 43. I started out being like my uncles but escalated to
being “feared and respected” as my own name grew to be known. To this day,
I can’t answer why I started exactly.

What made me want to join a gang? Tough question; different situations in
family and school and a spirit of anger. Not always does one realize he is
in a gang until it is too late. In my case, I grew up with friends from
grade one through grade six; then on to Junior High meeting new friends,
but still keeping the old. When one would get into a fight we would all be
there. Then I realized I belonged to this gang.
