Why do gangs like the greasers, Socs, playboy and Ventures fight with each other?
Some kids join gangs for protection and family and sometimes just for a fight. In the article called “ Rest in peace Doc” it’s about a boy named Doc also known as Desi. This boy had lost his family in an accident and him and his brother have the gang as a second family because the real family had left. Desi had joined the gang for protection because his parents had died in a rumble or a fight. It states in paragraph 1 that “I heard because his parents had been beat up by a rival gang just to disrespect them and he was hurt pretty bad in the incident.” This quote supports this because Desi lost someone he loved and he uses the gang as his protection in rumbles.
