If it looks, walks, quacks, and throws down like a duck...

He's a wannabe.
Not a banger.

You didn't see the pics from his FaceBook where he's throwing up forks? You know that's a gang sign, don't you? That's why I called him a banger, because he's throwing up gang signs in pictures with his gang friends.

Maybe he is putting up a symbol of trust, peace, love that is known around his community? Maybe this "gang" is actually a community organization that helps and heals the people in his community?


Ahhhh, who am I fooling?

Yes, clearly just speculation....

True- but Pop appears to be the real deal.

Either way, we're not talking about stripping this kid of a constitutional right.

I am guessing it wasn't 100% intentional, it may have been completely unintentional and the kid is just used to seeing similar "graphics" in his neighborhood.

But that's besides the point - the MLDs are a multi-million dollar criminal enterprise responsible for pushing drugs into grade and high schools and ruining far too many lives.

Government-sanctioned publicly-displayed materials cannot have any similarity with their tags, period.

Teen defends city sticker design | Video | abc7chicago.com

And as you can see the model hands he used with his teacher look exactly alike the ones in the drawing. I think it was a misunderstanding.
