How does a person quit a gang?
My experience (and I have alot of it) is that you don’t quit by saying you are going to quit. If you do that, and go through whatever ritual or hazing the gang has for this, you really haven’t outgrown the gang. You still believe in its logic. All the former gang members I know never actually left the gang. They simply stopped participating in negative and self-destructive activities like violence, drug sales and theft. But they remained friends with other gang members.
