THUG MENTALITY EXPOSED BOOK

Mike Ramey/Certified Gang Specialist

“As a College Instructor on the subject of Modern Street Gangs, I have been blessed and proud to use this book as ‘the’ textbook for my course. First, it deals with the subject in an honest presentation. Second, it hits FIRMLY on the ’spiritual side’ of the gang issue, which is a side that many have missed. Third, it has plenty of scripture citations and examples, making it easy for Pastors and Youth Ministers to follow. This book get ‘best in show’ in my view. KNOW that a sequel is on its way. Ray Johnson is a GREAT writer! You won’t be ashamed to add this to your street gang library!”

My Bloody Life: The Making of a Latin King (Illinois) (Paperback)

This review from Amazon.com

This is the first book since fifth grade that has actually made me cry. In fifth grade, I cried because the fictional main character’s pet goose died. I cried while reading “My Bloody Life” because “Reymundo Sanchez’s” life was non-fiction and common in our nation’s cities.

Sanchez’s eyes opened up and he ended up leaving the Latin Kings (unlike “Slim” and others who were killed instead of being allowed to leave). He writes from the perspective of an older man who is able to look back on his life and truly reflect on what the event of his life signified. Thus he is able to reflect on his decisions, then explain his thought process at the time (eg. when the 35-year-old Maria takes 13-year-old Reymundo’s virginity, he is able to say that he now realizes that what Maria did was horrible and probably ruined many future sexual experiences for him. But at that time, all he wanted was to have sex and “be a man.”)

Sanchez is able to soberly reflect on his life. The result is a flowing, “matter-of-fact” prose as he describes his introduction to alcohol and marijuana (at the age of 12), his physically abusive parents, his multiple murders, his violence against others, his physical and sexual abuse of other women, his drug dealing and cocaine addiction. The rapidity with which Sanchez went from a nice kid with good grades to an amazingly violent, self-centered gang-banger is both shocking and sad.

This was a very powerful book set in a neighborhood not too far from my house. To know the daily goings on a few miles from my house, in the neighborhood my parents grew up in is very sad. The subject matter is violent, graphic and quite disturbing, but needs to be read. You probably won’t have a good time reading this book, but you’ll be doing yourself a favor if you do. Recommended.

We have carried links to a lot of gang related books for a long time on our site and so it seemed like a good idea to bring them together in one place to give a good resource for people looking to find out more about street gangs.

Now these books range from being first hand accounts from gang members to more academic social studies of street gangs. So anyways here goes, if you have any books you’d recommend then just add ‘em to the list by leaving a comment.

Thug Mentality Exposed will take the reader on a raw and bold journey into the heart of the thug world through the eyes and experiences of a correctional counselor and photojournalist. Trends such as the hyphy, crunk, gangsta, goth and witchcraft movements among others are stealing the identities of ordinary kids and transforming them into hardened thugs through out America and many parts of the globe. These trends base themselves at the core of thug mentality and are ripping apart our society in ways that will forever change the social, moral, and financial foundations we have come to rely upon in our daily lives. Now is the time to educate ourselves on these deadly social issues that can drastically impact our loved ones. With this knowledge, we can begin healing by providing truth and hope to an expected at-risk population from being incarcerated or held bondage by powerful addictions which are leading many to an early grave.

Did you know that “pant saggin” actually started with male prostitutes in the prison system and that the word Thug actually derived from India out of a murderous religious cult? Johnson narrates for us the purpose, behaviors and attitudes of Thug Mentality and why our youth follow these patterns. He appropriates the needed lessons for humanity under the word of God to help sanctify those in need. Johnson, a Peace Officer for over 11 years, provides us with enlightenment for those who seek the counsel of professionals working with these at-risk youth.
