"I love you guys, but I can't be around you when you talk about this stuff anymore. See you later back at the house." How hard is that?
Easy for a level headed person with perspective to say. From many, many accounts, aaron Hernandez seems to be about that life and has been.
I would think you could be as hard and coldblooded a gangster crew as there is and still understand perfectly that the gravy train doesn't last unless the money guy keeps his own personal hands clean. Everybody in Hernandez's group should know that. There's no way Hernandez himself should have been in that car.
I have no idea the type of place or circumstances he grew up in, but most people are about that life because those people that do bad things were the only ones who would accept him growing up. He may not have had good influences to steer him in the right direction. But if you grew up with those type of people, they are essentially your family, and we all have those family members who we shold remove ties with but don't, because we care about them. This may not be the case but it is common in most gangs

If you're involved with people of the nature he is involved with, I imagine harder than we would think. In all serious, the pressure to be "real" with your crew if they are those type of people can be overwhelming, mostly out of fear and loyalty
I was just meaning gang situations in general. I have no idea about his situation. Although I did hear the skreets down in Bristol be poppin offHe is from Bristol, Connecticut. Ever been to Connecticut? Trust me it is not Detroit, Flint or East St. Louis. Not saying it isn't possible but there aren't very many mean streets in Bristol.
Dood I listened to a crapton of Ice-T albums when I was in college. I know all about gangbanging.
