In order to join a gang, all potential members are required to go through an initiation ceremony to show that the gang's members have what it takes. Some gangs have initiation ceremonies others dont. some gangs require potential members go through initiation ceremonies while others require only certain people to go through them while letting others join the gang without ceremony.
Some people may try to avoid gang initiation by getting blessed in. The people that are blessed into gangs have older brothers, fathers, mothers, or other relatives that are in a gang or use to be part of a gang.
There are many things that you might have to do for initiation such as:
- Killing a police officer
- Blood In Blood Out
- Being jumped in or beat in
- Sexed in ( for females )
- Committing a theft
- Drive By Shooting
- Russian Roulette
- And More
i can't believe that man. it amazes me how people are so convinced that gangs are a form of family yet in order to validate your spot in the family you have to either be beat up to join or risk your freedom by killing someone. in my opinion i don't believe thats very family like in the least. what surprises me most is that people are putting themselves into these situations with prior knowledge that these are the initiation steps. i think if they really sat & thought about this beforehand they'd make a more logical decision.
