From my perspective yes gans are dangerous only when there are young men trying to prove thereselves to their peers. however i am a gang member of the crips and yes we have a ties to g.d. heres the thing i am a gang member but i am NOT dangerous. i am revolutonary and believe in the oringinal purpose of gangs. however now everyone wants power and and want to be like what they see in movies. i'm from baltimore which average 298 homicides a year and have the number two rank aids rate in the country. but i moved to rochester to better myself and now i am in college in nashville, tn and expect to move back there when i graduate. so to sum it up all gang members are not dangerous. i have always encouragd the wanna be gang members in rochester to do the right thing but they have a lot of pride which is there issue and they have no real structure. and rochester gangs are fake by the way they only prey on the weak but will never mess with me a real gang member so yes they're fake.
