You’re in a street gang, and don’t even know it

by Todd Ruger

You’re probably in a street gang, and you don’t even know it. At least, if you go by the definition the Florida Attorney General’s office gives:

-The group has three or more members.
-Members of the group identify themselves with a name, colors, symbols, or any other means which identifies them as being a distinct group.
-The group has some level of organization and leadership.
-Members see themselves as a gang and want others to recognize them as a gang.
-The group creates an atmosphere of fear and intimidation.
-When its members commit criminal acts to further their group’s social or economic status, they are considered a criminal gang.
