if you havent...
smoked a blunt, shot something up, done a line, fucked a hooker, drank til you were shit faced or been arrested
you cant be trusted...and you damn sure wasnt a "cholo"
makes me wonder what kinda homies you had vouch for you
that is an extremely flawed sense of judgement. If you haven't been drunk, shot something up... you can't be trusted? Shut up. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
I was 11 when I was in a gang. I was huge for my age, in a town of mostly Mexicans. I didn't say I was an OG, but I was jumped into, and later out of a gang in northside Watsonville. I was not a norteno, but I was definitely a wannabe norteno for a time. A confused child at best, as are a lot of younger kids who want to be in a gang. I'll get clowned for saying this, but that's the honest truth.
And I know the Cam'ron cape thread ended up being hilarious, but for a time, Watsonville was a dangerous little town. I have no idea if it still is, but it definitely was in the late 80's to the late 90's.
