He stated the reason. “I turned my life over to Christ.” The answer is clear. The youth need true understanding of Christ! I pray the youth turn from their wicked ways and allow God to heal the land.

Depends on where u from. Some wear red and black in other states

[@ESPLTD322]

Yeah where I worked in southwestern Birmingham they always wore black and some white. I’ve heard it can be different elsewhere though, that’s just what I saw. They were a bit scarier than some of the other gangs. A lot of the eastern part of Birmingham like Kingston were crips, but they kinda kept to themselves and were actually often cordial with us. They were smarter and more secretive too, despite killing their rivals all the time. But the GDs were MEAN. They’d kill a child or an elderly person for the fun of it. It felt real good getting them off the streets.

@@ESPLTD322 much respect. There used to be rules against kids and the elderly. Not anymore. I'd rather stick to my tax paying 9-5 job than to go back to the street life.
