Gangs and Gangsters
Gangsters, also known as mobsters, are criminals that participate in gangs or gang related activities. Some gangs are very loosely organized, but others are highly organized and efficient. They are recognized by federal governments as crime syndicates. Some well known gangs are the Yakuza, Hells Angels, and the Mafia.

Why people should not join gangs?
After what I've read there is only 3 ways to leave a gang:
1 You die.
2. Your girlfriend have a baby and you can leave because you have to take care of them but this might not be for all of them.
3. You take a beating from them which can kill you.
A gang is not a family. They say it is but it is not. A family would protect you and not ask you to confess to a crime you did not do and go to prison for years for another member just because you joined later then he did. They would not ask you to take a life or hurt people. Your life will no longer belong to you. Fighting with other gangs put your real family in danger. The world is huge and there is nothing that says you have to stay there the rest of your life. If you join a gang you can not just leave because you feel like it.
The point of a gang is to organise members that are together to rob, kill, and basically get RICH.
Usually gangsters have themes for their gang

I assume you mean in America, but I am not from there. The first ones to pop into my head would be the Bloods and Crips, and also I guess the KKK and Nazis were gangs... Hope I helped... :-/
Yes they are. They just dress a little differently than a street gang. By day they wear everyday work cloths, at night they hide their identity in costumes.
They are not like most gangs though they were started back in the 1800's and then when WW1 was happening many German's joined them in the hate of the blacks and Jews

Why do bloods and crips fight?
Bloods hate Crips & Crips hate Bloods, this has been going on for years this Blood and Crip war dates all the way back to the 1970's. Really though Crips started first they formed in the late 1960's then the Bloods came in the early 1970's basically as a response to the Crips, because the Crips were killing and robbing other smaller gangs and random people with no gang affiliation at all for no reason. So basically all these smaller gangs banned together and formed the Bloods to fight off the Crips from bullying them.

What is the piru blood gang language?
There isn't no such thing as the ''Piru Blood''. The Pirus & Bloods are two different gangs, both under the Blood Alliance. And they don't have a specific language they speak, accept for the fact they cross out the letter ''c'' & replace it with the letters ''b'', ''p'' & ''d''
The letter ''d'' stands for Damu which means Blood in Swahelli.
The letter ''b'' stands for Bloods & Brims(Brims are a gang under the Blood Alliance).
The letter ''p'' stands for Pirus.
Why would boys belong to gangs?
Gangs offer the opportunity to make money by selling illegal drugs, they offer protection from other gangs or other dangerous people, and they give their members a warm sense of belonging and security, knowing that they have allies who will back them up. It makes perfect sense to people who have not found better ways to make their way in the world.

Can gangs be effectively controlled?
Hello, Jamison here, I think so BUT NOT WITH OUR JUDICIAL SYSTEM,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Our system is only setup to punish the people who, As A rule, try to do whats right,,,,,,,,,, If you are A carear criminal, You have ALL the cards on your side,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,OJ kills two people and walks,,, But, you cannot get out of A ticket for passing in A turning lane, When the other car was driving 25 in A 55
Gang Injunctions have effectively disbanded several gangs in Los Angeles. Gentrification has also been an inadvertent method that has worked very well in some areas. Redevelopment of worn down projects etc. has moved gangs but not dismantled them.
