  - No, the reverse of it.  Pangolin2   Sep-07-09 12:00 PM   #13

  - Chimpy's a gang-banger?  Sebastian Doyle   Sep-07-09 03:10 PM   #33 
  - so what?  Warren Stupidity   Sep-07-09 10:27 AM   #6 
     - So it obviously pissed off someone.  Pangolin2   Sep-07-09 12:01 PM   #14 
  - Far be it for me to inject race into this but I'm willing to bet these brothers weren't white.  Raineyb   Sep-07-09 10:23 AM   #2 
  - gangs are a huge issue in some places.  Mystayya   Sep-07-09 10:27 AM   #5 
     - Except we don't know it's a gang symbol. n/t  Raineyb   Sep-07-09 10:57 AM   #11 
        - It doesn't matter if we know it, what does matter is if the gangs do  Pangolin2   Sep-07-09 12:09 PM   #16

  - It's not a peace sign nor is it a gang symbol...  TokenQueer   Sep-07-09 10:42 AM   #9 
  - That wasn't the sign though.  Fire_Medic_Dave   Sep-07-09 03:05 PM   #29 
  - Exactly. And the longhorn sign is done with the palm facing the recipient.  Pangolin2   Sep-07-09 12:03 PM   #15 
  - No specific description of the gesture in the story.  Gold Metal Flake   Sep-07-09 11:07 AM   #12

     - Yes, I noticed the difference in the gesture  blogslut   Sep-07-09 02:24 PM   #24 
        - The answer to your question is dependent on how the gesture was perceived.  Pangolin2   Sep-07-09 02:44 PM   #25 
           - Perceived by whom?  blogslut   Sep-07-09 03:04 PM   #28

  - Or the school could have a colossal stick wedged somewhere  Posteritatis   Sep-07-09 01:08 PM   #21 
  - Stupid little hand gestures routinely get people killed.  Fire_Medic_Dave   Sep-07-09 03:07 PM   #30 
     - Guns don't kill people, hand gestures do?  HiFructosePronSyrup   Sep-07-09 03:20 PM   #39 
     - Gang members with illegal firearms kill people flashing another gangs sign. Is that clear enough?  Fire_Medic_Dave   Sep-07-09 03:23 PM   #43 
        - Deleted sub-thread  Name removed   Sep-07-09 03:29 PM   #46 
        - And where is your evidence that 1. A gang symbol was flashed  Raineyb   Sep-07-09 04:12 PM   #52 
           - I never claimed to have evidence of any of the three.  Fire_Medic_Dave   Sep-07-09 08:15 PM   #53 
     - For once, we are in complete agreement  proud2BlibKansan   Sep-07-09 08:25 PM   #56 
        - Ahh, common ground.  Fire_Medic_Dave   Sep-07-09 08:34 PM   #57 
           - I deal with gangs nearly every day at school  proud2BlibKansan   Sep-07-09 08:46 PM   #58 
  - Were the palms facing the police, or away from?  Deja Q   Sep-07-09 01:02 PM   #20 
  - Palms facing away from the police and index and pinky used, not index and middle finger.  Fire_Medic_Dave   Sep-07-09 03:08 PM   #31 
  - Either they were flashing a gang symbol...  Libertas1776   Sep-07-09 03:01 PM   #27 
  - We can rule out all but the Sicilians.  Fire_Medic_Dave   Sep-07-09 03:43 PM   #49

  - Or, douches perhaps?  Pangolin2   Sep-07-09 03:15 PM   #36 
  - Most of the gang crime cops I know are well aware of different gangs hand signals.  Fire_Medic_Dave   Sep-07-09 03:20 PM   #40 
     - Purely coincidence that there's a 2nd Street less than a mile and a quarter away.  cherokeeprogressive   Sep-07-09 03:34 PM   #47 
        - Thanks for the local input.  Fire_Medic_Dave   Sep-07-09 03:37 PM   #48 
  - Deuces means the peace sign.  BalancedGoat   Sep-07-09 03:56 PM   #50 
  - Interesting.  Fire_Medic_Dave   Sep-07-09 08:16 PM   #54 
  - Probably a reference to a local gang  proud2BlibKansan   Sep-07-09 08:49 PM   #59 
  - I don't get it. The longhorns sign looks nothing like the peace sign.  BlooInBloo   Sep-07-09 03:11 PM   #35 
  - and they didn't do the longhorns sign.  Fire_Medic_Dave   Sep-07-09 03:21 PM   #41 
     - (shrug) Ok.  BlooInBloo   Sep-07-09 03:27 PM   #45 
  - You left out a pretty important part:  proud2BlibKansan   Sep-07-09 03:26 PM   #44 
     - oh yeah, the evil secret stuff  Lex   Sep-07-09 08:18 PM   #55
