How gang rituals can get you killed

Please watch this video! It can save your life.

The video is one of an urban myth, but it rings true for a young man who was shot with a shotgun for flashing his headlight, 3/09. Word is that the local gang was, bloods, but witness would only say the young man did flash before gunshot rung out.

Mom Don't Cry For Me

Every boy on the corner isn't a gang banger. And every boy hanging with a gang isn't really part of the gang. These are the boys that are savable from gangs. These are the boys that are there from pressure be it peer, or they are afraid to not be a part in fear of other gangs within the community. These boys turn to gangs for many reasons. My focus is just boys that has lost their father to crime. Some of these boys want to join a gang because of the stuff they see on television in videos. The rappers set bad examples for young boys to follow. And if there isn't a dad to explain the role of becoming a man, then most young boys will follow what they see. You may say what about the boys who made it just with a mother. That's good, but today isn't yestersday when we had strong mothers to raise young boys to be men. Today we have younger mothers that are still trying to find their way in life and with the government hands in family life, a mother can't do but so much with a hard headed boy. Government has taken the fear that moms and dads had to raise kids and replaced it with time outs where a kid will tell a mother to stick it and walk right out the door. This being older teenage boys. So now moms fear to raise boys in fear that they may turn on her and cause her harm. One boy told me that his mom lets him do as he please because she knows that if she piss him off, he will call the police and say his mom hit him. These are the lessons taught by gangs to young boys. Can a mother save her son from gangs now that dod isn't there?
