Facts Gangs demonstrate their particular alignment by "representing" through symbols, colors, graffiti, hand signs, and words. Representing also encompasses the left or right side of the body. The People Nation Gangs wear all identifiers to the left. An earring in the left ear, a left pants leg rolled up, and a cap tilted to the left may all indicate affiliation to the alliance.[3] The gang's hand sign is thrown to the left shoulder. The gang members fold their arms in a manner that is pointed to the left. The People Nation alliance in most instances utilizes a five-pointed star in their gang graffiti.[4][5]The five-pointed star has its origins with the Black Stone Rangers/Black P. Stone Ranger Nation, one of the larger street gangs. The alliance's term "high five, six must die" is in reference to the five-pointed star versus the six-pointed star in the Folk Nation alliance. There are many other terms referring to fives over sixes such as "five in the sky, six must die." Commonly used by the People Nation alliance are drawings of pitchforks pointed down in disrespect to the Folk Nation alliance.[1] Certain terms are used by the People Nation alliance such as "all is well" when greeting each other. The five-pointed star is not the only symbols used by the People Nation. Others include a 3D pyramid, a five pointed crown, a die with its front-side showing five dots, a crescent moon with its concave side facing to the right and sometimes with a small five-pointed star to the right of that moon, and a symbol resembling the playboy bunny symbol.[4][5] For other uses, see Graffiti (disambiguation). ...
