On reading the article the first reaction was ‘make this make sense’. Firstly the young man did not want to go out, but he was coerced by his female friend to go out. Then there’s a fight ( between girls in the club’ and the young man leaves and goes and sit in a vehicle. He is then approached by a male, apparently from the club and stabbed multiple times. He died in the way to the hospital and the vehicle he is in crashes into a wall. A young man trying to avoid trouble ends up dead and in a car accident. How troubling and unfortunate! . . THEN when I saw the photo with the victim throwing up hand signs. So the logical conclusion is ‘that’s what it’s about, gang warfare!’ The fact is some of these guys are or may be inactive members of gangs. They may no longer be into gang banging or the gang scene at all. But once they are identified as a gang member by an opposing gang, he will be attacked and unfortunately killed in this instance. It is the ‘predators’ or ‘Red Bill’ syndrome. Once a gang member sees a member of an opposing gang he goes on the attack and usually it will end in death. Sad is the number of young men, who have been murdered and their photos appear on social media showing gang hand signs. This alone should be a deterrent from joining gangs. Some say death is the only way to give up membership. . .
