Hello and welcome to Deviance, Defiance, And Death, a blog examining the present incarnation of hooligan culture: the gangs of Vancouver. The objective of this blog is to provide a forum where people can engage in an inciteful, and perhaps polemical, dialectic about gang culture.
There are five members of the panel of students that will lead this discussion, who will introduce themselves all in due time. Let this christening post be my introduction, though, while we are here. My alias is Seven Tense and you can expect my posts to examine the treatment of the complex social stigma of what it is to be a gang member. I will attempt to illuminate what it means for an individual to be in a gang and how he is perceived by those outside a gang.
Outside sources, especially those of current and developing news stories, will be used often, so I ask my readers to keep at least somewhat up to date on this issue that has swept itself over Vancouver, the city we all love. Outside of that, I don't suspect it will be too complicated :p .
Comments, as always, are welcome, and encouraged.
