Fear is how the gangs control people.cpix wrote:If you kill a gang member, you’re a dead man. I don’t care where you go, how many guns you’ve got, or how good a shot you are — you’re a dead man. Let me repeat again — you’re a dead man.
It's a lot easier to make people do what you want through fear than actual force.
The mentality you're describing here is what gangs want people to believe. It is NOT reality.
I helped put a member of the Crips on death row. Where there death threats? you bet... But I was ready for 'em and it was all talk.
The fact that we're CHLs makes us hard targets. Maybe if the gangs try hard enough they could kill us... but the return fire is likely to make it a 'tie' And they don't wanna die.
