[@generalgrevious7635]

The tattoo story bothers me so much, one should look up what the tattoos means before you get one. You might get one that symbolizes something to another group.

[@FireDaemon13]

One should not look at a possible gang member and think “I should get a matching tattoo” 🙃

[@keerywindle1932]

Fr, it doesn't take much to research

[@MNaga-ty6wp]

There was a guy who saw fascinating symbols in a banner while walking down the street. He made a tattoo of those "symbols" on his shoulder and proudly showed them off to everyone, until one day a Chinese man translated it to him the meaning of the tattoo. Turns out it was in Manderin saying "Noodles available here". Lol just a popular funny story from childhood.

[@olliegoria]

Exactly. Dude got Russian thieves stars, no wonder he got so fucked up

[@hansgerber8654]

one of the best scary story videos i've listened to in a while

[@lennon9430]

Really great stories tonight. Grew up in nyc and occasionally brushed shoulders with individuals through my family throughout 80’s. Let me just say that although these guys lives are often romanticized, they are mostly pukes who would sell his own mother for a nickel. Lowest form of life in my opinion. When I see kids acting all tough and acting soprano-like, I feel like giving a nice hard slap to the face. Thanks for awesome clips

[@knowledge5106_]

Man these stories are scary and crazy. Salute for this READ tonight! Long time fan.

My parents and I live in Canada and we vacationed in Japan, Singapore and China in 2017. I suspect that we encountered some Yakuza members in Tokyo, but I have no proof. I noticed that many members in that group had shorter fingers, like parts had been cut off. In English they said that hated North Americans and South Americans, but I don't think they could tell my family was Canadian by nationality as we are ethnically Chinese. The strange situation itself is too long and complicated, but I ended up having a conversation in English with two of them. My family don't know how to speak Japanese at all, but there were at least two members quite good at English. My mom has a friend living in Tokyo who moved there from China many years ago. I described our strange encounter to my mom's friend, who is fluent in Chinese, English and Japanese, then she told our story to her family members. They first raised the possibility that we encountered Yakuza members.

I'm a believer of the philosophy that everytime you commit a cold blooded murder you lose a piece of your soul/humanity. Someone who commits that many murders has to be empty. That's why it pays so well. Aside from the fact that if you get caught you spend 25 years in prison
