My kids all hang out with a lot of gang members, and they're of every race. I think it's every kid who's been pushed aside. They want to have that sense of belonging, being involved, and being part of something. All of us do. I don't think it matters whether they're 15 or 30. You talk about motorcycle clubs. A lot of those members are guys who have never fit in anywhere. They buy a Harley, they get their rocker, and all of a sudden they're part of a family where they never fit in before. I think that's the same with youth gangs. I think any kid who's been pushed away or told to shut up one too many times just wants to fit in somewhere.
