Gangs: Full Placa
An
example of a full placa is:
 |
The
(El: he) |
 |
Moniker
(Wino) |
 |
The
gang name (Los Chicos) |
 |
I'm
the best |
Another
example is:
 |
Gang
(Los Neighborhood) |
 |
United
(Total) |
  |
Signs
of disrespect (gang initials upside down or crossed out) |
These placas are challenges when placed on another
gang's wall or territory. What evolves then is a rub-out (the crossing
out of another placa). Eventually a gang war could take place. These
are direct challenges that are directed towards the gang's machismo
and ability to defend their territory.
