They often harassed and beat up people, robbed places and many times it got real serious and the police were constantly on the lookout for some gangster or another. (Manitoba Warriors, forgot their colors) Besides clothes color and specific traits, they were all easily recognized as gangsters though. There was Deuce, their colors were black and blue, IP (Indian Posse) that was black and green, they were the ones with the hair thing. Each gang had their own two colors that were always represented on their clothes. Then they would tie up the long hair into a ponytail or a braid that would hang from the top of their head. Most of the guys in one of these gangs let their hair grow on top of their head, and shaved off the sides. I guess some styles can be attributed to something more though.īack when I lived in Winnipeg, for about ten years, there were a lot of youth gangs around, who wore baggy pants, track suit jackets and caps with the bill almost curved into a tube.

I’m sure it can say something about the person, any type of fashion can, but I don’t think it’s any indication of anything more than fad or personal style. In fact, isn’t that an eighties thing to do? I didn’t think it was cool anymore. I mean, people have been wearing their caps backwards for ever.

I really don’t think it means anything, nor do I believe that any kind of fashion statement is a hint at violent behavior. Means they’re fucking up the hood G style, dawg. What does it say about me if I choose to wear some normal article of clothing in a deliberately abnormal way? It seems to me rather analogous to wearing tee shirts inside out or putting on a pair of jeans three inches too big in the waist so most of your underwear is exposed. But it is an individual choice, and a deliberate perversion of the design intent of that style of hat. Now I am certainly not suggesting that wearing baseball caps backwards has ANYTHING to do with terrorism, or even criminal activity and aggressive behavior. Only after his older brother began to preach radical Islamic Jihad to him did a few of his Tweets turn darker. He was into Eminem, Nutella, sports and Edmund Burke. Dzhokhar’s Twitter account shows up little that’s remarkable, and classmates describe him as the last person they would expect would be a terrorist bomber. As Slate Magazine points out in their article about the younger Boston Marathon Bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the guy seems to have been a pretty average American student in his late teens.
