Why is Straight Edge a gang in SLC? By: Kaleb Dale
Why I’m asking this question. • Because I am straight edge and don’t think it should be a gang anymore. • The violence has died down a lot but yet Straight Edge is still a gang in Utah. • What are the requirements for a group to become a gang In Salt Lake City?
What I already knew. • During the 90’s Straight Edge hit an all time high. • Straight Edge started becoming militant and people wanted others to think this way or they would use physical violence. • Straight Edge in SLC killed a kid in 90’s and bombed multiple animal testing faculties.
What I wanted to learn. • Why hasn’t Straight Edge been taken off the gang list or the gang watch list. • Has Straight Edge still been committing these crimes like this or has it died down?
How I went about my search. • I looked up all the gangs in Utah and compared them to Straight Edge. • I used the Public Safety website where they give brief descriptions of each. • I then called Unified Police Dispatch where I was directed to Carl who answered all my questions.
What I learned. • I learned that Straight Edge was founded on a gang mindset, therefore it is considered a gang. • If you don’t join us then we will force you to.
