And yeah, I figured the broken star thing, but the author specificallywithoutt Folk nation represents a five pointed star, which is incorrect.
It's hilarious, because the resource officers at our school don't have a clue when it comes to gang shit. I'm constantly trying to explain the graffitti and such that I see around here, and they blow me off like I'm some dumbass white guy without a clue.

It's pretty impressive and sad if you think about it.All the effort and time it takes to memorize that much..wasted effort. It's all watered down now, but in the 80s and 90s it was serious business. I remember trying to explain to my dad why I couldn't wear the chiefs jersey he got me for Christmas. That wasn't happening in my neighborhood or around my group of childhood friends. Now i wear what ever color without a second thought about it.
