I see a picture of a dude like this and I see someone who had $60 once, went to a shitty kitchen-table "artist" and said, "put some teardrops on me."

You literally told someone who has been to ACJ that their opinion on ACJ was worthless cause "they're probably a felon" than say no one on reddit knows any "gangsters" on reddit. Im sorry that you are truly this blinded by hate

I prefer the gangsters that don't get caught. What can a dumb ass that got caught teach anyone? Do I need to learn how to make poor decisions from someone who sucks at it? No.

Teardrop tattoo

>The teardrop tattoo or tear tattoo is a symbolic tattoo of a tear that is placed underneath the eye. The teardrop is one of the most widely recognised prison tattoos and has various meanings. It can signify that the wearer has spent time in prison, or more specifically that the wearer was raped while incarcerated and tattooed by the rapist as a "property" mark and for humiliation, since facial tattoos cannot be concealed. The tattoo is sometimes worn by the female companions of prisoners in solidarity with their loved ones.

Yeah, you know, I trust Wikipedia 100%… especially for unsourced unverifiable cultural data. But I’m sticking with the meaning I’ve always heard, which is that the wearer unaligned people, either intentionally or accidentally.

ShivsButtBot t1_j656rew wrote

Well actually I have been to jail because I am in recovery from substance abuse. I haven’t used in ten years. 🙏🏼 I have spent years in Allegheny county jail and I can inform you that tear drop tattoos mean nothing and many people just tattoo their face because it’s aesthetically pleasing to them. If you have any questions about the county jail I would love to answer them for you!

Also ‘Shiv’ is a character on a television show called Succession. She has a huge ass. ‘Bot’ is short for the word robot. I am surprised that someone who watches so much TV is unfamiliar with one that wins Emmys consistently. I would check it out!

I've been to ACJ for one night, worst night of my life. I'll pass on the knowledge from someone who is most likely a felon, thanks. Don't think you have much to say I'm interested in there ol knifebutt...

ShivsButtBot t1_j6585fw wrote

I am a felon! We know a thing or two about prison tattoos! 💝

Sorry about your stay in the drunk tank. Even 24 hours in the county is truly traumatic and ACJ is truly guilt of crimes against humanity. I know people who have died awaiting a bail hearing. I also knew a woman who was cuffed so tightly she lost her arm from the elbow down after only spending 12 hours in holding. I’m glad you made it okay!

ShivsButtBot t1_j6992dr wrote

When a felon is acting with more grace than you can muster it’s a real problem. I would consider checking your estrogen levels with a doctor! I have a feeling they may be too high which is leading to the teenage girl behavior.

It’s so funny you mention that because I have a legal concealed carry too! You can petition the governor and your local sheriff to obtain a conceal carry license despite a felony. I’ll also be carrying it to the voting booth because the state of Pennsylvania allows felons to vote. Right now I have a Taurus that I keep with me!

I will be sure not to rob anyone. That’s no worries honey bunny pretty sweet thing. Catch ya outside, little lovey.

That's a shame, I'm going to have to vote against that. You should certainly have no access to weapons. Or children, or be anywhere near a school. Oh well, at least the stigma of being a felon will follow you the rest of your life. Enjoy!

Wannabe gangsters dies a gangsters death. ... I mean, this is basically what Chappelle joked "When keeping it real goes wrong."

What’s the difference between a gangster and a wannabe gangster to you?

3

YeahIveDoneThat t1_j671ckd wrote

Lol, that's actually a good question. Well, I think actual gangsters are, like, rare. It's not something you really see daily. The people you see that have the aura of gangster are trying to wear the costume they view as having either power or social currency. Ie, they want to be gangster; they want the power it implies.

This phenomenon is really common actually. In poor over-policed areas, you'll see people driving white Chevy Caprice or Impala cars because they are a reflection of the power those people view the police as having. They're basically wearing "car costumes" of the police. I don't remember the details, but this was also observed in British controlled India as well.

It is a social phenomenon for how either oppressed or disempowered groups respond to the "other."

Face tattoos, neck tattoos, the hat, I mean, I'm certainly an assumption based on the pictures, but I'd wager a fair bit of money on being spot-on.

Tons of people have face tattoos, neck tattoos, wear hats and aren’t “wannabe gangsters or gangsters”. I think you were implying something else entirely but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.

YeahIveDoneThat t1_j6gnmpv wrote

No. I'm not. Anyone who has a face tattoo of a tear drop is a wannabe gangster. Find me a single counter example. You know, we're able to make certain inferences from observable data, right? You can understand that can't you? Sure, do I know with 100% certainty? No. But can I be like 5-sigma certain? Abso-fucking-lutely.

aboutsider t1_j6ho8cw wrote

A single counter example-- Kat Von D. She's a famous tattoo artist with a cluster of small stars tattooed on her face.

Another counter example-- I knew a guy who got teardrop tattoos on his face and he's just a dude who likes shitty tattoos. He's an artist and ne'er-do-well but really doesn't have any designs on being a gangster.

You know, you're able to make inferences based on bias too. How do you know that this isn't one of them?

steelcitykid t1_j6abrdd wrote

I grew up very close to the hospital and somehow it's even worse today. mckeesport is a truly depressing place to be and the people who live there are generally just trying to scrape by. There is literally nothing in mckeesport to see or do.

You'd be much better served working there and living just about anywhere else. I cannot stress how rough and bad of an area it is. I say this as a dude who lived there the first 18 years of my life and attended all the schools. I have never seen a single thing get better there and just recently I learned the boys and girls club was closed. It's not a very well received hospital. It's the last place I'd choose anywhere nearby.

>and just recently I learned the boys and girls club was closed.

Hi! It's true that Boys and Girls Club as an organization left Mckeesport, but I was a part of the transition team that saw the club building and grounds ownership transfered to the city of Mckeesport and we now operate under the LaRosa Youth Club to continue servicing our community.

Mckeesport isn't perfect, but it's home and I am determined to see it be a better place for my children.

steelcitykid t1_j6mq8tq wrote

I didn't just depend on that club as a kid, I volunteered there and would later work there when they added the new wing. I wish you the best of luck, that's an uphill battle if ever there was one.
