Gang Sets and Other Quasi Gang-Related Activity: Indoctrination and Conditioning

Defining Terms

 

On their album Nation Gvng: Dominvtion (2020), hip hop group Zipsquad released the song “Nation (Intro)” that featured rappers PR the Great and Scorcese. On the introduction of the track, a collective sample of two people states:

 

“In order to develop measures to prevent the involvement of young people in gangs, it is first necessary what we want to prevent the environment in.” “The definition of a gang, per the dictionary, is ‘two or individuals, gathered in one area, to commit antisocial behavior’.”

 

Similarly, Merriam-Webster defines a gang as “a group of persons working to unlawful [acting contrary to or in defiance of the law] or antisocial ends [averse to the society of others; hostile or harmful to organized society, as in marked by behavior deviating sharply from the social norm].”

 

This is comparable to the American Psychological Association (APA), which defines a gang as “a social group composed of members with a high degree of personal contact who share common interests and standards of behavior, which in some cases (e.g., street gangs) are antisocial.”

 

One source adds, “Street gangs are gangs formed by youths in urban areas, and are known primarily for street fighting and gang warfare. The term ‘street gang’ is commonly used interchangeably with ‘youth gang’, referring to neighborhood or street-based youth groups that meet ‘gang’ criteria.”

 

Another source elaborates, “In gang terminology, a set refers to a subgroup within a larger gang alliance. Sets vary in size and internal structure, and different sets within the same gang are known to fight one another.” There are reportedly 33,000 gangs in the United States (U.S.).

 

Furthermore, one source states, “Renegade gangs are sets or factions of gangs that [have] split off from the gang and [gone] their own way, they may still ally themselves with certain sets of [their] original gang but they won’t hesitate to beef with that gang either.”

 

Per one source, “Validation is a legal process in the [U.S.] in which criminal justice authorities (prison officials, parole officers, police officers, or prosecutors) designate a person as a member of a gang. Once a person is validated as a gang member, the person is subject to increased sentences, harsher punishments (such as solitary confinement), and more restrictive parole rules.”

 

I am not now, have never been, nor do I foresee myself ever being a validated gang member, known associate, and/or direct affiliate of any criminal organization. Also, I unequivocally denounce any allegation of Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act-related activity.

 

In that self-obligatory disclaimer are the terms “-related” (also “-affiliated”) and “activity.” One who engages in gang operations is said to be “gang-related.” Thus, gang-related activity regards the quality or state of being active in a gang, exhibiting behavior or actions of a particular kind.

 

Generally, gang-affiliated activity stems from a hierarchal structure, as validated gang members have learned obedience to authoritative structures. Noteworthy, the APA defines indoctrination as “the social inculcation of beliefs, especially by individuals in positions of power or authority.”

 

Perhaps most members of organized gangs and sets, or disorganized renegade sets, have been indoctrinated to wear specific paraphernalia (e.g., color-specific bandanas), use certain lingo (e.g., in-group terms, such as “cuz”), and revere members of higher status within the gang.

 

In this way, gang members have often been subject to conditioning, which the APA defines as “the process by which certain kinds of experience make particular actions more or less likely. See classical conditioning; instrumental conditioning; operant conditioning.”

 

While there are additional gang definitions which may be relevant to other blog entries I’ve posted on the topic at hand, the aforementioned descriptions will suffice for the current blogpost. Now, I invite you to consider my perspective regarding personal lived experience with gangs.

 

Gang Sets and Other Quasi Gang-Related Activity

 

Within my blog, I’ve made no secret of the fact that I once befriended gang members from roughly my fifth grade year of elementary to my senior year of high school. As an example, describing my time as a child in Aurora, Colorado, I stated in Don’t Go Outside:

 

When enrolled in Crawford Elementary School, I was introduced to Crips who lived in the local neighborhood. This introduction was by way of assault and battery which was referred to as being bum-rushed, rat-packed, or getting jumped. (It wasn’t pleasant!)

 

In common parlance, I was mercilessly beaten by three to five individuals at a time. This isn’t the same event as being quoted (gaining entrance or status within a gang, usually by way of physical violence). I was beaten without a purpose, beyond mere bullying. Sometimes, this occurred during lunchtime recess. Mostly, it happened after school let out for the day. […]

 

Favorably, my dad withdrew his unhelpful rule about me taking a non-aggression stance and allowed me to square up with the Crips who often bum-rushed me. It was then that I developed high frustration tolerance and resilience when realizing that I could tolerate undesirable events.

 

To my surprise, transitioning from anger to confidence led to the Crips respecting me. By the time I arrived to West Middle school [now Aurora West College Preparatory Academy] in sixth grade, I’d lost weight, altered my accent, knew more children than the year before, and the Crips knew that I was biracial. We became friends!

 

In that post, I addressed Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). Specifically, I discussed techniques regarding the ABC model and unconditional acceptance – of which I knew nothing in my youth. Perhaps I could’ve benefitted from those tools as a child. Oh well, c’est la vie.

 

After moving from Aurora to Amarillo, Texas, I continued to befriend Crips. As well, because I wasn’t a member of any gang or set, I eventually made friends with Bloods, Sureños, and other renegade sets. For instance, describing my time at Amarillo High School, I stated in Sondra:

 

[W]hile having lived in a children’s home from half of seventh to ninth grade, with frequent instances of moving up until that time, I was used to not having stable friendships. With the family who took me into their home during my sophomore year, I’d hoped things would be different.

 

The high school to which I transferred was known for its wealthier class of students and I didn’t fit into that category. As well, having experienced significant and sustained trauma in childhood, I didn’t believe I could relate to teens at the new school.

 

Therefore, I sought out those with similar backgrounds by spending time with adolescents in other school districts. It didn’t take long for me to discover a group of people who had either dropped out of school, partially attended class by court mandate, or who were too old for enrolment.

 

Most members of that group were gang-affiliated. Since I didn’t officially join a set (subcategory of a larger gang), I could freely associate with gang members in other school districts. Hence, I spent little time interacting with students at the high school to which I transferred.

 

Within my blog, I’ve detailed some accounts of gang-related activity in which I may or may not have participated as a non-affiliated friend of gang members. As well, I’ve addressed why I chose military service over gangs, as I stated in Sumthin’ Wicked This Way Comes:

 

I commonly associated with members of the Crips, Sureños, and Bloods. As a non-validated member of any gang, I may or may not have participated in illegal activities.

 

At the time, I thought it was “wicked” (i.e., of exceptional quality) to hang out with gangbangers. Simultaneously, people at the Churches of Christ congregation of which I was a member would’ve considered my behavior as “wicked” (i.e., morally very bad: evil). […]

 

As expressed in Uncle Sam’s Misguided Children: Forced and Unforced Errors, I decided to join the [U.S.] Marine Corps, in part, to distance myself from gang-related activity. Whereas I wasn’t a validated gang member, I was an official member of the U.S. military.

 

To my surprise, Marines weren’t that different from my gangbanger friends. […] Depending on subjective views of law and justice, my gangbanging friends and Marines alike qualified for either definition of a “gang” which is used in common parlance.


 

In the photo above, taken on September 16, 1996—exactly 30 years ago today—I enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. Pictured sweating profusely while taking the Oath of Enlistment, before heading to Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, I didn’t know what to expect from service.

 

Yet, having served as military police and as a Marine Security Guard, with my total enlistment from 1996 to 2007, I learned that the U.S. and its governmental entities are ostensibly little more than gangs and gang sets by a different name, engaging in quasi gang-related activity.

 

Having foregone indoctrination and conditioning that would’ve officially tied me to a gang, I willingly submitted to training and acclimatizing that formally connected me to a quasi-gang that apparently functions as a worldwide group of persons working to unlawful or antisocial ends.

 

The notable difference between my street gang friends and my military counterparts was the distinction between what is and isn’t lawful (being in harmony with the law). If quasi gang-related activity is allowable by U.S. law, though violates international law, our gang proceeds.

 

While I have little doubt that some people will object to this characterization, I know gang shit [i.e., gang-related or adjacent activity] when I see it! Moreover, it didn’t take me 30 years to figure out quasi gang-related activity since first having observed it. Gang, gang!
