Backwards basetball cap, baggy clothes, pants sagging below their butt, and the vast majority of them are black. What's your typical gangbanger?Originally posted by Tecumseh: What is your typical gangbanger? How do they look?

I can't believe you don't know what I'm referring to. So what is the motive for your question?
Oh yeah, and he wasn't holding a "Glock Fotay" sideways.
Visual cues aside, I've just never had the impression that gangbangers would be motivated to make themselves look like the man in the picture. It would ruin their "street cred".
At that level I'll call them organized crime. The typical public perception of a gangbanger is closer to what I described, is it not? It is the public at large that Oleg is trying to reach with his poster.Gang members have joined the military and police forces in order to obtain access to training or markets. Gangs have suborned prison officials so that they can carry out business within the institutions designed to contain and "rehabilitate" their members. Gangs by their very nature are organized and dedicated towards their goals.

Maybe its just me, but the term "gangbangers" does not elicit thoughts of organized gang members, but rather the pant sagging thug type of person you see on the streets.The public Oleg is trying to reach probably understand that gangs are another form of organized crime.

Lighten up.
