Depends on what kind of gang. There are many different kinds of gangs that have been violent for centuries. When someone says gang they immidiatly think of today's gangs, but there have always been groups of people who have done pretty much the same things.

Gangs are groups of people who find power in their unity however they  who promote violence and illegal activity. It is common knowledge that to enter a gang members (both men and women) are forced to undergo a violent initiation ceremony. From that point on members must continually perform violent acts to further themselves in the gang hierarchy. For instance injuring a rival gang member is often rewarded with compliments and respect. Additionally, illegal activity such as drug use and sale, theft, assault, rape and loitering are common among gangs. These activities are almost part of daily gang life, and members are practically forced to participate or face ridicule or worse. In the end many gang members end up dead, in jail, pregnant at a young age, homeless, addicted to drugs and very much alone. It is a very expensive price to pay for some friends.

Actually there is a purple gang. It's in Watts, California, a small city inside of Los Angeles, Cali. They are actually crips, but they represent purple only.

When are you talking about?\n\nFor example, the St. Valentines Day Massacre (gang slaying) took place in Chicago during the depression.  Really fun research into that one -- lots of movies on it too!\n\nGoing back further, there were Mormon massacres in Nauvoo, IL in the 1840s.  Is that what you are talking about?  Less available on this, but you can read "Nauvoo, Kingdom on Mississippi" by Robert Bruce Flanders.\n\nThere have been lots of massacres in Illinois.  How far back are you talking, and what is the subject?

It started around WW2 actually.  There are some propaganda cartoons out there on the net that would make anyone blush.

The mob is not nearly as efficient as Holllywood makes them out to be. With each successive generation the quality of gangsterism has declined considerably - to the point where they're now mostly ignorant thugs. It's also expensive to go after people. The fact is the mob gets very few informers these days. Gravano, Hill, etc., they're hiding in plain sight.

It started in the south. Moonshine runners would soup up their cars for escape from police. They developed skills in both driving and in mechanics. Before long, they began racing against each other to prove who was best. Sanctioned racing grew from this early illegal activity.

clean background is a must but most know that the majority of applicants aren't perfect .  You cannot have a domestic battery charge on your record\n\nit normally takes about 2 to 5 years to become part of the gang unit depending on the agency.  They want you to know the Job first.

When gangsters would hold up in a warehouse for an extended peroid of time they would sleep on bare mattresses on the floor. Sometimes they did this for months until the coast was clear. Either another gang was after them or the cops.

They've severed the fingers of their rivals with machetes...brutally murdered suspected informants, including a 17-year-old pregnant federal witness...attacked and threatened law enforcement officers...committed a string of rapes, assaults, break-ins, auto thefts, extortions, and frauds across the U.S....gotten involved in everything from drug and firearms trafficking to prostitution and money laundering...and are sowing violence and discord not just here in the U.S. but around the world. \n\nRemind you of mobsters? Actually, this disturbing résumé of crime and violence belongs to MS-13, or Mara Salvatrucha, a fast-growing, violent, and increasingly mobile street gang that’s terrorizing communities in 33 states and the District of Columbia.

Sex Pistols were the original bad boys of rock music. They spearheaded the underground punk rock rebellion in London in 1970's. Two of the most notorious members were bassist Sid Visicious & vocalist JOnny Rotten. Pistols concerts would invariably end with broken bottles & necks. They were popular for sometime also. A famous story goes that when Pistol song " anarchy in the UK" reached #1 in london radio charts , the station refused to acknowledge it and printed a black column in #1 slot! Another Pistol classic was "god save the queen", they were banned to perform that song live on British soil so they rented a launch & performed it. On a tour of USA Sid hit a fan with mike stand as he threw a burger at the band. It was their last tour. They were a failed rebellion, but righteously angry, and led the path for furure punk rock bands.

Their first 7" EPs, "Minor Threat" and "In My Eyes", were released in 1981. The group became popular regionally, and toured the United States' east coast.\n\n"Straight Edge," a song on the first EP, inadvertently inspired the straight edge movement. The song seemed to be a call for abstention from drugs and alcohol-- a new thing in rock music, which initially found a small, but dedicated following, which was brought out such iconic groups as Black Flag (fronted by Minor Threat/Teen Idles roadie Henry Rollins), AFI, Norma Jean, Refused, and various others to this day.\n\nAnother Minor Threat song from the second EP, "Out of Step", further demonstrates the aesthetic: " Don't smoke/Don't drink/Don't fuck/At least I can fucking think/I can't keep up/I'm out of step with the world." The "I" in the lyrics was only implied (mainly because it didn't quite fit the rhythm of the song), and some in Minor Threat -- Jeff Nelson in particular -- took exception to what they saw as MacKaye's imperious attitude on the song.\n\nMinor Threat's song "Guilty of Being White" led to some accusations of racism, but MacKaye has strongly denied such intentions and said that some listeners misinterpreted his words. Slayer later covered the song, though perhaps not entirely in the spirit in which MacKaye wrote it: they changed the lyric "guilty of being white" to "guilty of being right" at the song's climax. In an interview in Steven Blush's book American Hardcore: A Tribal History, ISBN 0-922-91571-7, MacKaye has stated that he was offended by the change because of the racist implications of the new lyrics.\n\n\n[edit] Brief break up and reformation\nIn the time between the release of the band's second seven inch EP and the "Out Of Step" record the band briefly split when guitarist Lyle Preslar moved to Illinois for college. During this period MacKaye and Nelson put together a studio only project called Skewbald/Grand Union (In a reflection of the slowly increasing disagreements between the two musicians, they were unable to decide on one name). The group recorded three untitled songs which would be released posthumously as Dischord's 50th release. During this period Brian Baker also briefly played guitar for Government Issue and appeared on the "Make An Effort" EP. Preslar dropped out of college and, at the urging of Bad Brains vocalist H.R. Hudson, Minor Threat reformed to play a series of shows and record the "Out Of Step" mini album.\n\n\n[edit] "Out of Step"\nWhen "Out of Step" was re-recorded for the band's LP "Out Of Step," MacKaye inserted a spoken section explaining, "This is not a set of rules..." An ideological door was already opened, however, and by 1982, some straight-edge punks, such as followers of the band SS Decontrol, were swatting beers out of people's hands at clubs. (Ironically, SS Decontrol's singer, Springa, was at the time a heavy drinker and cocaine user.)[citation needed]\n\n\n[edit] Break up\nMinor Threat broke up in 1983. One contributing factor was disagreement over musical direction. For example, guitarist Preslar was increasingly enamored of U2. MacKaye was allegedly skipping practices towards the end of the band's career, and he wrote the lyrics to the songs on the "Salad Days" E.P. in the studio. This was quite the contrast between the earlier recordings as he had written the music for some of the band's early material and also collabarated in writing the music on others. Minor Threat played their last show on September 23, 1983 with Go go band Trouble Funk and the Big Boys, ending with Last Song, which was the original title of Salad Days.\n\n\n[edit] Post Minor Threat\nMacKaye went on to found Embrace with former members of the Faith, the obscure Egg Hunt with Brendan Canty a
