You'd think they'd at least show you the gang sign it's supposed to resemble.

WTF? The article in today's Trib had a lot more info. They showed the specific "gang sign" they think it looks like and mentioned the specific gang that it's supposed to represent. Did they leave that out on purpose for the interwebs?

That's a great link. Nice to see the kid has photos of him throwing gang sings, smoking and the like on his facebook. Oh, by the way, his dad is wanted by Interpol for narcotics offenses. Nice.

I'm sure a special needs child who is on the honor roll .... is not making posters with hangs flashing gang signals.
Every adult in this article should be ashamed, including the parent. shiat happens in the world, don't make a big deal out it. And the city clerk is just a straight up
dumb
biatch.

If you lived in Chicago, you'd be able to recognize the difference between Latin Kings and Latin Disciples and Vice Lords, and etc.... It's a Disciples set. The three fingers up thing.
HOW that got past everybody is beyond me, 'cause I'm just a northsider schmoe living in a nice neighborhood, and even I can recognize the gang signs.

The best part of the article for me is where the kid is described as special needs but on the honor roll. It reminded me of junior high when the special ed kids who got all b's in sped classes made the honor roll. The only way to get a bad grade in those classes was if they shiat themselves and sat in it without telling anyone.
/ I'm referring to real sped classes here, not learning disabled or adhd stuff. Like tard blog stuff.

Wait, I read that in the Sun Times, not the Trib. Dammit. Anyway, the supposed gang sign is a hand with it's fingers that's supposed to represent a trident, 3 prongs and all. It looks nothing like the kid's drawing.

My sister is an elementary special ed teacher who deals with many of the emotionally disturbed kids. She once sent me a picture of her in a bathroom with brown stuff all over her face and clothes. I asked her what happened and this was what she told me:
One of the students didn't want to go on the bus, so he pooped his pants, pulled it out and attacked her with it.
It was at this point that I decided I did not want to be a special ed teacher. It only ever happened once, but that is still way too often.

Those aren't gang signs, and the city should've just asked him to redraw the hands if it's that much of an issue.

Yes, it is.
The hand gesture is common among the Latin Disciples, who align with the Folk. Six pointed stars and hearts with horns are commonly associated with this group and this logo has it all.

Sigmund Freud was a psychologist who essentially thought everything was sexual. He also smoked lots and lots of cigars. He was famously asked what this tendency said about his sexuality. "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar" was his response. Today, people often use the phrase to say that things are only as they seem and have no secondary meaning.

What's that? Your kid has a terrible case of juvenile arthritis? And he drew his own hands? Well, that is admirable of his, but how do we know that others will know that he has it! GEEZ, some people! THE NERVE OF THAT KID.

Damn, those registration stickers are huge. I thought DC's were bad but I'd be seriously pissed to have one of these clogging up my windshield. That said, I'm still annoyed with DC since we have to have a registration sticker on one side and an inspection sticker on the other. Can't we just use a registration sticker on the license plate like most other normal jurisdictions?

So far, a culture based on "getting away with sh*t" has presented us with a society of quasi-literate whiners who are afraid of their kids. Wake me up when people learn to find their ass with both hands again.

According to the Sun-Times story, the kid's Facebook page was full of gang win:
A picture that was on Pulgar's Facebook until Tuesday night showed youths making what appeared to be the "pitchfork" hand sign of the MLDs, which Pulgar allegedly recreated on the sticker design. One commenter on the Facebook picture wrote "what r u doing throwing up the fork ha what are u a gangbanger."

Yeah, teens on Facebook aren't known for taking stupid photos in awkward poses or anything.
Also, its quite telling that no one can produce any type of photo that shows the alleged symbol.
