Gang Sign or Kids Being Kids?







Have you ever seen shoes hanging by their laces from electrical wires?

It's a story I looked into yesterday, but I know that there are plenty more opinions about this symbol. I wanted to give everyone the opportunity to let me know what they know or even what other rumors there are out there.
One thing that I still haven't received answers on, is who is responsible for taking the shoes down. AEP representatives tell me that on a case-by-case basis they have removed them at the request of customers, however they also told me it is not their responsibility.
I doubt that anyone has been fined for throwing shoes over an electrical wire, but do you think it is a form of litter?

In case you didn't catch the 6 pm yesterday on KRBC, here's a link to my video.

  1. Don't kid yourselves, these are not games the they are playing. When we were in Odessa this was a sign of gang and drug activity in the area.

  2. Im glad you cleared it up about the skate park. Those kids really don't have ANYTHING to do with gangs. I would personally run them through if they were. They are just kids having fun. I remembered you when writing about this. Here is a link to what I said. http://foundryskateboarding.blogspot.com/2011/01/shoes-at-rose-park.html
