From reading about this earlier today on another thread, I learned that the Latin Kings, among others, actually DO use crucifixes as part of their gang symbols. One poster said that the type of cross described here (beaded) is exactly what they wear.

It's a shame when a gang co-opts a religious symbol

I have a core problem with banning expression in the first place - blue bandanna or whatever.

When it starts to include religions symbols the state has really over stepped.

If the gangs are engaging in criminal activity prosecute them vigorously for that - banning their clothing or jewelry is wrong, IMO. Its not unlike the people who ban guns instead of punishing crime committed with guns.

I believe Hitler did the same thing with the swatica (spel?)
