......You could get for killed being alleged snitch, rival associates, not kicking up in a timely fashion and still face the same chance of being locked up.
You don't get killed for colors , which is grossly misinformed, but general things such as money, camaraderie issues, and snitches in street gangs.
I know that last part cause I been around them. Hell, unlike LCN it's not even a commitment to be a career criminal.


I agree with this. Maybe the only difference is in this modern era it is more dangerous to be a street gang member than a member of LCN. But 40-50+ years ago it was the opposite by far.

Another thing to point out to OP question is that you can’t just suddenly decide to join a street gang one day. It’s not like applying for a new job.

Maybe with the right dedication and connections you can get into a motorcycle club, but not a street gang.

I would say it still was fairly dangerous as is today being a gang member. It depends on your location and scenario as well.

If you think you are too small to make a difference, you haven't spend the night with a mosquito.
