In poverty-stricken areas.  When people are chronically broke and looked down upon, they look for strength in numbers and turn to violence.\nGang violence is especially bad in places like El Salvador, home of MS-13.

Depends on where you are.  I live in a town of 8000 people.  No crime here.  But 35 miles north of us is the south side of chicago.  Lock your door and roll up your windows.  There is a gang problem in the US and there is also a drug problem in the us.  Those two things cause alot of violence.  Stay away from gang and drug infested areas and you should be alright.  \n\nIf you want to go to a metro with alot to offer try Portland, OR, Seattle, WA, Minneapolis, MN, Madison, WI, Milwaukee, WI. Denver, CO\n\nStay away from chicago, iL, New York, NY, Los Angeles, Atlanta, GA, Detroit, MI, MIami, FL, New Orleans, LA, Washington, DC

Yes there is, but not at the level you my think of. There are military service people that claim gang affiliation. I know I was an MP at Ft Bragg for 5 years 94-99. (118th mp co (abn) and 108th mp co (aaslt) ) I personally stopped a vehicle that had "crippin ain't easy" painted on a license plate  he was an E-6!! so there are some idiots in there plus you have spring lake and Fayette -Nam to contend with.  Not to mention all the other thug wanna be's.  The Army has an active gang unit that deals with this problem. Only problem is that it's not the MP's doing it, it's the MI or post commander that assigns a task force.. we had one but it was disbanded because it was deemed a waste of man power. and if a solider off duty wore gang colors we could press the issue because they were allowed to wear the color of clothing they desired.. thanks Clinton for that one! But rest assured that they know and do watch them.. Have fun at Bragg the ole Iron Mike I said hi over by the circles.

Heard about them... Advise: Don't get involved with gang activity... It will lead to a life of crime, and then no way of getting a real job in the future.  If the life you want is to be an inmate until you die, have at it, otherwise steer clear.  I promise you that you don't want to be in jail for the rest of your days.

yes there are the treetop bloods and the money green crips as well as some smaller gangs like the west side solders or the a.b.m.'s.

Hell.  Really, I can't imagine how horrible it must be to know that your child is in a gang.  It's bad enough worrying about a child who isn't, but having to worry about a child that puts themselves in danger and obviously isn't going to listen to the parents view that they shouldn't be in a gang...I would think that would be sheer hell for the parents.

Gangs have been in existence for as long as there have been inhabitants of this world. The word thug dates back to India in the year 1200 AD and it refers to a gang of criminals (Thugz) that roamed the country pillaging towns in their course. These Thugz had their own symbols, hand signs, rituals and slang. In the United States, we grew up with tales of our own form of thugs like pirates and gangsters, therefore, gangs, undoubtedly, are not a new concept. \n\nSo...no...I don't believe that COlors "created" more gangs. I think circumstances like socio-economic issues and lack of adult guidance helps to create gangs. \n\nDuvall? He's cool. He should go to sleep every night with a clear conscious.

Depends where street is located. It will differ from street to street and town to town and country to country. However one thing is for sure that anything they wear that will work provided the gang is actual gang.

The fact that you are asking if you should become a gang member is telling me that you have doubts. It is better to save a life, than to take one. Gang life ends up in death, prison, or jail.  You have a purpose in life. Surround yourself with friends that are doing the right things. A friend is someone who is going to positively lift you up. Take care.

I think you need to look for groups that exist for that purpose.  I know there are some, however I don't know the exact names of the organizations.  Do some online research or move the hell away.  It all is dependent on the gang you are in, the resources you have, and the way you go about it...of course that is a total outsiders opinion.

I'll take you to a neighborhood back in my country and you'll never want to know about it again.\nbut if you really need to know check out:\n www.abriendobrecha.tv and watch the news live from Honduras, it certainly will be at least one report about it,\nor just search for violence in C.A.(I don't really know why you wanna know)

It's also the deadliest and most brutal street gang in Virginia. And 32 other states.  And they're illegal aliens from Central America, so, yeah, while b may not be a, a is also b.

In a one-on-one confrontation, your typical gang-banger fights like a girl. Observe any member of the so-called "bad" gang, MS-13. What a bunch of scrawny wimps! :-D

There is a mexican gang called mg 13 or something but I don't know about it's connection with walmart.\nI think there are muggings in walmart parking lots because they are usually built in run down areas.

YES,,IT STILL EXIST.. BUT IS NOT THE TYPE OF VIOLENCE WE ENCOUUNTER IN THE STREET OR ANY PUBLIC PLACE.\n\nTHE TYPE OF VIOLENCE THAT EXIST IN THE PRISON HAS TO DO ALOT WITH RACIAL PROBLEMS.. STATE PRISONS INCLUDING LOCAL AND FEDERAL JAILS ENCOURGE RACIAL PROFILING IT CONSTISTS OF\n\nWHITES\nBLACKS\nHISPANICS\nAND \nOTHER.\n\nMANYLY FIGHTS OCCUR BECAUSE SOMEONE FEELS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN DISRESPECTED OR BECAUSE A BAD DRUG DEAL WENT SOUR.\nMOST VIOLENCE IN PRISON ALSO AFECTS THE GUARDS..
