The Crip gang in California are really like Big Brother in the book 1984 because Big Brother has a lot of people under control and if they dont want to listen to the rules he will vaporize you or lock you up for life but the difference between the too are gangs in Cali run blocks and neighborhoods and they fight rival gangs and try to eliminate the enemy. Were Big Brother runs almost the whole country and he tryies to have people not have intimate relation ships so they dont give there time and energy to a loved one when you could give your time and energy to Big Brother.
People want to join the gang that they grew up around because they see that they have respect for eachother and have your back at all times but they also have rules and ways of doing things and if you dont abide by them they will have you killed or seriously hurt. There is nothing you can really do to try and convince a gang member to get out they have to make that decision on there own but rarley does that happen because most gangs ounce you get in you cant get out.
"they sye that 'eals all things,
they sye you can always forget,
but smiles and tears across the years
they twist my' eartstrings yet'
