gangs .. I have a few friends who are ex- gang members and the stories they've told me.. are insane. The things they went through for their "boyz" & to survive..
One of them has since then turned his* life around completely and says he* would never think about living that sort of life again. He* moved away from his* old neighborhood, and now spends his* time at college or working with children, basically living a good life like that of any upstanding citizen. He* is one of the nicest guys* around, is truly devoted to living life well and I'm so proud. Another has been incarcerated and served probation for 5 years as his* gang terrorized clubs, the streets, families, and businesses. Today he* is one of the few left living from his* once large and notorious gang as the other members have since passed, victim to suicide or murder. I'm not sure if his* family truly knows the extent of his* past, or that years later it's still not dead. Knowing this .. I worry. You can run but you can't hide from your past, it will always find you.. ..so my point is .. make wise choices.
Mad propz to all those who realized that the gangsta life was not for them and got out of there~* May God be with you .
