BR> There are two reasons.
BR> One is that it is a way to keep the gang from making them into victims.
BR> The other is that they think that that is all that there is to live.
    No offense to the cops who work with gangs on a daily basis, but you 
gotta love these people (Attorney General of Texas included) who act like 
experts but really don't know what they're talking about.  Let me enlighten 
everybody. There are five reasons people join gangs:
        1)Power
        2)Money
        3)Respect
        4)Protection
        5)Family
        Anybody have ay questions, I'd be more than happy to go over these 
with them.
Peace.
