I just dont understand this culture...

That makes two of us. I've seen alot of gang banging BS growing up here in Southern California, and well... near as i can figure, their just animals. They tag street corners like a dog taking a piss, marking out its territory,and they'd kill each other over some run down stretch of neighborhood. Being an uneducated hoodlum is all they aspire to be. Going to prison is getting their "credentials". Their a god dam waste of oxygen if you ask me.

But, it is what it is. Some places, you just don't go. Least of all at night. Don't wear the wrong colors or cloths, mind how you wear your hat, don't stare at anyone, don't let people know what you have or it will get stolen, keep to yourself, keep your stuff locked, and you have no problems. Hell, you'll hardly ever see these "people" if you do all of the above. That's what i learned growing up in SoCal.

Other cultures have armed escorts at funerals also.

It is a different culture. I was reading a few years ago about gang culture and I could not believe what I read.

Babies being baptized in gang colours for example

So I could understand the culture that is represented in that picture, even though I disagree with the lifestyle.

Actually, I agree. The skin has a too waxy an appearance to be natural.

Maybe he got a wax job?

How many dead bodies have you seen? (Yeah im being smart ass ).

Anyway, im not sure if the body is real or not. But, one reason that body might seem off color is because of the shroud its behind that's draping the casket.

Reconstruction is part of the mortician's art.

With the advent of affordable body armour, head-shots are not unheard of in gang related shootings.

My wife's cast came off today and the skin near the surgery looks just like that, waxy.

and also the fact that he's dead and you kind of lose color. It's possible it was a cheap job and the mortician got the makeup wrong.

I've been to enough funerals. I know you're just kidding though.
