You’ve probably wondered, what are ‘GDS Crips?’ Well, these are the gangs that resemble the infamous ‘Crazy Dogs’, only they don’t wear the same clothing as the gangs. These are males and females who are bonded by a strong sense of brotherhood. This article aims to answer all of your questions, from what the ’74’ on their clothes means to why they don’t wear grapes as a symbol.

Males and females
Both males and females are prone to the sexual exploitation and coercion of other members of their gangs. In a culture of male dominance and exploitation, it is particularly upsetting to see girls subjected to these practices. In addition, many female gang members report a lack of respect from their male counterparts, and they feel pressured to sexualize with male gang members. The extent of sex-in is a common topic of discussion, with more than half of the male participants describing sexual initiation as the default method for girls. In contrast, one might argue that sexual initiation of girls is associated with the desire of male gang members to demonstrate masculinity and dominance.
While the relationship between gang membership and sexual risk behaviors has been proven, there is considerable disagreement as to how far the sexualization of girls is encouraged within gangs. It is unclear how widespread and harmful sexual initiation is, but researchers have found that girls who are gang members are particularly at risk of being forced to engage in sex with male gang members. Furthermore, strict gender norms hinder girls from negotiating safe sex with male gang members.
74 means ’74’ in gds crips
The word ’74’ in a gang name is the same as the number ’74’ in the alphabet. It has two meanings, one is “I am a gangster” and the other is “I am a blood crip”. The former is an extremely common name, while the latter is more obscure. Whether it’s a gangster or a blood crip, the ’74’ in a name is always significant.
They don’t identify with gang identifiers
Parents often fail to recognize common gang identifiers, such as graffiti, sagging pants, tattoos, and other identifying markers. However, this does not mean that all youth with these characteristics are gang members. There are many reasons why youth might become gang members, including their involvement in illegal activities and their desire to have an identity of their own. In addition to these common gang identifiers, kids who are not yet old enough to be part of a gang may simply be faddish or a fashion trend.
Bandannas are a common street gang identifier. These “flags” are worn by gang members in almost every color of the rainbow, from red to orange to black. The bandannas may be tied around a member’s head or hang out of a pocket. Bandanna belt tails are sometimes worn down a pant leg. Some bandannas feature gang initials or names embroidered on them. Some bandannas even feature letters, like “B.”
They don’t use grapes as a symbol
Grapes are not only practical and useful, but also have a significant symbolic value in Christianity, Judaism, and Catholicism. The ancient Greek God Dionysus, who represents fertility and abundance, is often represented with a bunch of grapes, particularly during a festival. It is also believed that grapes can help solidify feelings of joy, ecstasy, or even rage.
Though the GDs don’t use grapes to represent a particular ideology, their use in literature is quite extensive. The ancient Egyptians believed that the ripe fruit of a vine would bring them rewards in the afterlife. Similarly, the expression “through the grapevine” refers to gossip, or unofficial information. The symbolism of grapes has become firmly entrenched in the modern world.
They have a Chief of Chiefs
Do GDS have a Supreme Commander or a Chief of the Chiefs? While there are many rumours about both, it is possible that the GDS do have a Supreme Commander. If so, he will be the Vice Lords’ Chief of the South. The GDs are the highest ranking members of the Bloods, and have a Supreme Commander as well. But there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the role of the Supreme Commander.
There are some concerns about Manzoni’s ability to run GDS. Some critics have said that Manzoni is breaking up the organisation and implementing ‘decentralisation’ – the view that digital delivery can’t be done from the centre. But GDS would argue that it’s already doing this. The agency works closely with departments to build their capability. The question is, how does GDS get the best results?
