What do you actually have to do to get in and out of a gang?

Every gang has their own rules and their own ways to get someone jumped in a gang. Most gangs you need to get jumped in and you need to ride to the fullest, I mean until death if you decide to leave the gang. It’s no game. Beware, you don’t wanna go there. I’m not trying to scare you. I’m just letting you know the truth, the facts. If you’re in a gang or planning to be, you can’t be a rat, a punk or fake. This life stilo will not take you nowhere but 25 to life in prison, a druggy, or death.

Did you feel important because you were in a gang and everybody was scared of you?

Denise

I got into this situation, because I thought I was a bad-ass, always thinking I knew what to do and never listened to anyone’s advice. Yes I felt very important and powerful.

I got into the place I’m in, because I wanted to make money and I wanted to move up in rank and earn respect. I was important, but I had to do a lot of things to move up in rank.

Yeah, I felt important. Some part of me still does. I’m now O.G. and the “big homie” but what’s that worth to me? Nothing! No, it wasn’t worth it.

I could truthfully say that I did feel important because everybody was scared of me. But when I needed help from the people, they would not get near me. Especially when you just got jumped from another neighborhood that you don’t get along with (and when I say jumped, I’m talking not about not able to stand up and that’s if you get lucky). And that is a very scary feeling, when you really need help from a stranger but they don’t want to help you because you’ve got them scared of you. So if you come to think of it you are hurting yourself and it’s not worth it. So think before you act of all times.
