Huh. I always thought it was Crypts.Follow

WTF kind of name is "Crips"? Cripples?*

The article reminds me of the opening scenes of Warriors. I think street gangs need to revert to wearing clown make-up, Yankees uniforms and 1970's style roller skates.

Insert Mren joke here. I'm too lazy

I made up a gang in highschool, we were called "Los Swankos".

We wore a yellow bandana with a big black "S" on it around our right calves.

Our gang sign was both of our hands cupped in a "C" positioned one on top of the other to make an "S".

Oh yeah, we were bad.

Los Swankos!

S

Anyone else remember that movie "The Warriors"?

Yeah, not me. Dizzy broad

Oh duh...I am a dizzy broad.

Bah.

I remember the public outcry about that movie because of some minor altercations a few theaters had between various wannabes. There were people doing their level best to have the movie banned in their home town for fear of local violent youth marauding through city streets causing mayhem and chaos.

Of course, like every other movie, by the second weekend nobody was going to see it anymore.

I've seen a History Channel special about the gangs, it was very interesting
