Look up gangs, you will not find the ones with hand signs bielve that. I don't want to get on a soap box so I will let you educate yourself on that issue.

If you don't want to read the whole thread, then why comment? Generally, the subject of a thread changes rapidly, and when you don't read the whole thing, your comment comes out of left field.

If you read the whole thread then you'd know where his comment came from.

It came from post #2 from ColumbiaPike, but since we are now on post #27, and a completely different subject, it's irrelevant to the current topic. Plus, most people ignored the comment from post #2 anyway.

Hand signs started with gangs.

Hand signs are most definitely considered a symbol of gang membership. It's a "gansta" thing, ask any policeman if you don't believe it. God only knows why middle-class college kids would emulate such behavior. Just don't give those signs in neighborhoods like South Central L.A. or East New York in Brooklyn.

Hand signs do not begin or end with gangs, and I know plenty of Greek police officers who wouldn't tell you it's a "gangsta" thing. Are you real? Are you ever Greek?

Right. Just like bandanas and dark sunglasses didn't start with certain gangs. It's just on a "gang checklist."

Correct. It doesn't matter where hand-signs started (probably in prisons). It's now associated with gangs. Any policeman who doesn't know that needs to go back to the police academy for a refresher course.
(Off-topic, but how do you folks get the Greek letters into your signatures. I don't see a greek font in the signature drop-down????)
