I could never understand the allure of gang life. People talk about how they feel secure with the crew but then they forfeit their lives to it. Your life belongs to the gang and you lose your sense of individuality. I can understand some people being young and foolish, but you got mature people in their 20s, 30s, and even 40s still caught up in this life, spending most of their adult lives in jail and never giving a minute of their time up for their children.
My brother was involved in that lifestyle for a while, but luckily turned away from it. Unfortunately, my younger cousin's heading down that path also and he's not quite as headstrong. Fortunately there are people who have experienced that life and can maybe deter the younger generation from it. It's a shame that some kids (like my cousin) think that being black means you must be "thug".
