Mentality and Philosophy

1. The “All for One, One for All” philosophy poses a significant threat; members demand participation in assault behavior by all members who are present.  The one-on-one fight of the past now becomes a full disturbance.
2.  “Code of Conduct” terminologies include:
      - “I will not let my brother fall to a knee.”
      - “All is all.”
      - “All is well.”
3.  Incidents often occur over trivial matters that are viewed as disrespectful by rival members.
      - Striking through a rival’s graffiti or painting it upside down.
      - Drinking from a plastic cup belonging to a rival gang member.
      - Showing a rival’s hand signs upside down or crossing out a rival’s hand signs with another finger
      - Breaking a rival’s symbols.

Rules and codes of conduct such as those mentioned above must be strictly followed.  Those members who choose not to participate in a gang activity are subject to disciplinary action or “violations.”  Violations can range from a beating, by fellow gang members for a given period of time, to death.  Violation orders are often written out and signed by ranking members.  Violence associated with these groups is often disciplinary in nature.
