Unlike marvel superheroes, a gang-member can’t win every fight nor deflect every bullet, thus he or she may end up critically injured. That may be, wheelchair bound or bedridden, either way the person is sidelined from the job market and destined to be poor and dependent on family/the Government to take care of them the rest of their days. Personal acknowledgement of this traumatic reality pushes many into drug, and alcohol enslavement.- Truth be told, like alcohol abuse is woven into the fabric of military culture, drug abuse is woven into the bandana of gang culture. The average gang member is getting high on something, pills–something, or either drinking alot. For many, drug Abuse will lead to addiction and consequently a life of misery and poverty. Thus, drug addiction is also a disability and renders the abuser dysfunctional in society. Some of the hardest gangsters that ever banged a blue flag have been found dead in homeless tents due to addiction.
From The LA Times
Although Scott escaped death numerous times as a member of the Eight Tray Gangster Crips, then became an author who counseled others to avoid gang life, the 57-year-old was found dead on June 7 at a homeless encampment near the San Luis River Trail in Oceanside, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s office.
RIP Monster Kody
He inspired gang bangers to become writers
