We we were awarded jackets one day at work for meeting a safety goal,two colors black or red,everyone picked red except a mexican friend of mine getting his citizenship the right way.

I asked him why he picked black,he told me I'll get shot if I wear red.

I looked up the gangs in Yakima. As others have posted, the Mexican/Latino gangs seem to have a greater presence there now than the black gangs (Crips and Bloods). But still gang bangers.

I do wonder about some of the white suburban kids that wear the gang stuff thinking it is cool. Although you don’t hear much about violence on them. I guess the real gang-bangers are smart enough not to worry about them.
