The new gang look

Posted at 7:32 AM on December 17, 2007 by Bob Collins (0 Comments)

ST-111.jpgWhat if this becomes the new look of gangs?

We hear that in Central America, gangs are giving up the "gang look," and going for the college prep look.

"Setting themselves apart by tattooing themselves head to toe with threatening symbols and hanging out in large crowds on street corners, their goal was to intimidate law-abiding citizens and rival gangs alike, experts say."


Apparently the "intimidation" purpose of the gang look is giving way to a "just fitting in look," which is odd since more non-gang kids are trying to look like gangster.

In this environment, anything is possible.
