PG #42 "We didn't call ourselves gangs.We called ourselves clubs or clicas."
The diction that was used back when Luis was a kid is so innocent yet not at all. These "clicas" were created out of the want of power and fear of those with power. Luis explains that these groups were made for the protection of anyone in these groups. In essence it kept you from getting your ass handed to you by everyone else and let you kick someones ass anytime you felt like had to and had people watching your back. These gangs were made out of the fear and anger of young kids who grew up being neglected by the system. These gangs are made just so that they can finally be comfortable and not have someone to tell them ,"No."
