I’m trying to figure something out. Do guys just quit or retire from gangs at 40 or something? I know older dudes still out there in the streets. I thought you were in for life once you got in.
from what ive seen w/ folks in my family...
People go one of two ways....
1. They get out of jail/prison and start working a regular job and just kick it with family and close friends.
If youre close to 40 most of the people you had static w/ are either dead, in jail, or on drugs
2. They get out of jail/prison and have some sort of drug/drinking problem.
Petty crimes may keep them in and out of jail...but for the most part they are just trying to maintain and stay afloat w/ their addiction.
You see these older cats online banging because they are mixed up in entertainment...its part of their hustle.
The internet kind of provides a false reality to what street life really is like.
