Any New York gang wears yellow?

Yes, gay men who like to get ...oops, I'll keep it family friendly.

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

Do you have a helpful answer or are you just going to try being clever again?

[i-metrobius.livejournal.com]

*squints to get a better look* Have we met?

Oh no, just being in a good mood. You should try it sometime.

But if it helps, if I knew, I would tell. Sorry, carry on. I'll just be over here with my pitcher of martinis and pool boy.

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

I don't think so.

I'll keep that in mind.

You have a good day, sir.

The Latin Kings.

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

Are they the only gang? Any others use it in combination?

[ohcryhavoc.livejournal.com]

I'm not an expert in these matters, so I'm afraid I can't help you there. It's entirely possible of course that any gang could choose to use yellow, but the Latin Kings are apparently one of the oldest and largest American street gangs. Out of Chicago, but there is a prominent New York branch as well. They might be your best bet.

That's alright, your information has been very helpful. Thank you.

What the other guy said. And Jamaican Posse and True to the Heart according to Kowalski. Me, I don't have a clue.

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

Well, I've got three options now. More than I had a few minutes ago.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Who the hell names these gangs? "True to the Heart." Jesus Christ.

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

I think they name themselves, but I'm not a gang expert.

[joeydutton.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Juice 46 does. They're like Cuban or something. They scare the shit out of me, Murphy.

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

They're in your neighborhood, Joey?

[joeydutton.livejournal.com]

Not in my neighborhood but close. Near my school.

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

Okay, thanks for the suggestion.

Latin Kings are gold, not yellow. But yellow might have fallen in like baby blue and light pink did for the Crips and the Bloods.

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

It depends on if other gangs will let them get away with incorporating yellow. Colors are important after all.

[shoesandweapons.livejournal.com]

It's hard to get gold clothes, too. But chances are they call a yellow shirt "gold", and anyone who knew 'em would call it "gold" too.

[x-in-silhouette.livejournal.com]

Yellow and what else?

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

Just yellow.

[x-in-silhouette.livejournal.com]

No active New York street gangs wear just yellow, so you're good. The closest would probably be the Latin Kings, who wear yellow and gold. You get an eye on any tattoos, beads, or other kind of symbols, or is this just hypothetical?

[warriors-swan.livejournal.com]

Several.

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

Got a list of names?

[warriors-swan.livejournal.com]

What's in it for me?
