I used to live in CA and saw way to much of the "Crips and Bloods", watched it spread like a virus to the midwest, take root there, and spread East. Now it is here, in the Berkshires, Gang thuggery fueled by drugs and the sale of such, glamorized by hip hop culture.
The kids that buy into it make a choice to, especially the ones in Pittsfield as I highly doubt that they were "born into it" as a lot of the kids in S.Central L.A. are now second and third generation.
Makes me wonder, where the hell are the parents of these kids, letting them go down that road. Sad.
We can look at the system, and put the blame wherever you want but it really comes down to the parents.
Said it before and I'll say it again, "you need a license to drive a car but any idiot can have a kid"
