Hickman said young people choose gangs for many reasons, including intimidation from members, influence from family and a need for recognition. Small towns – like Tallahassee and Havana – are not immune to gang violence. In fact, Hickman said, at least three gangs — including "The Holton Street Boy," "4th Ave. Players," and "The Lake Bradford Boys" — occupy sections of this city.

Tamillia Lowery .. Concerned Mother

It was Sunday afternoon.
Tamillia Lowery says her 13 year old son was playing basketball on one of the outdoor courts at Jack McLean Park.
Her 11 year old son was on the playground.
She says she was at her home across the street from the park.
"My 11 year old came busting through the door upset, screaming, we got jumped, we got jumped, they attacked us," said Lowery.

She says when she went to get her 13 year old son, he was crying, limping and bleeding.
It was later determined he had a concussion, sprained shoulder and knee, a split lip and bruising.
Her sons told her they were both jumped by several boys for no reason, including one who had a screwdriver.
Lowery called Tallahassee Police.
"And the officer began to tell me we live in the ghetto and that somebody got shot here and the best thing for me is to get my kids and move," she said.
Chadrick Anderson was shot and killed close to the park in November.
Calvin Riley has been arrested for his murder.
But Lowery says the officer also told her the area is a hot bed fo gang activity and her sons were likely victims of a gang.
"I would refer you to TPD as it relates to any gang activity. I can just tell you we are in constant contact with TPD," said Tallahassee Recreation Superintendent Kelly Ledbetter.
Ledbetter says park staff monitor safety concerns, but the rec center is closed Sundays.
So he says kids should come to the park with parents if possible when the rec center is closed.
"I shouldn’t be blamed because my kids got attacked," said Lowery.
A TPD spokesman says no arrest has been made yet in the case.
He says there is gang activity in the city and TPD gang squad to handle it.
He also says the department is looking into Lowery’s complaint about the officer calling her neighborhood a ghetto.

Why does this type of behavior only seem to happen in predominately black neighborhoods?
Why does the NAACP and other racist organizations keep getting away with blaming this type of behavior on the white man when there probably wasn’t a white man within 3 city blocks of the shooting?
Inquiring minds would like to know.

I can take an educated guess as to the description of the suspect.

*** PARENTAL ADVISORY – EXPLICIT CONTENT
… Parental Advisory (PAL) is a label affixed by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) to audio recordings in the United States containing excessive use of profane language and/or sexual references.
… The warning has achieved a degree of cult status, with comedian George Carlin titling an album Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics and numerous t-shirts, metal signs, and other paraphernalia bearing the logo. The RIAA, however, officially states, "It’s not a PAL Notice that kids look for, it’s the music. Independent research shows kids put limited weight on lyrics in deciding which music they like, caring more about rhythm and melody. The PAL Notice alone isn’t enough incentive."
*** WARNING – Tone of this record unsuitable for minors

Arrest papers say the most recent happened February 21st at the Indian Oaks West Town Homes on Jackson Bluff Road.
Arrest papers say three men broke down the back door and ransacked the house. Victims told police the robbers struck a sleeping man in the head with the butt of a rifle, forced another to the ground and placed a dumbell on the back of his neck saying he’d be shot if it fell off.
Victims at Indian Village off Jackson Bluff say back on January 29th, someone kicked down their door. Arrest papers say the men who lived there came face to face with three men who carried a shotgun, a crow bar and a stun gun.
Residents at the Villa Dylano apartments on Hayden Road answered a knock at the door February 5th to find three men with bandanas, hoodies and guns, court records show.
That same night, arrest papers say, three men in masks and gloves burst into an apartment at 1505 West Tharpe Street and stole two gaming systems, money and more.
Brown and Brutus are both being held in the Leon County Jail on 0,000 bond.
We have no word on the third suspect.

Before turning the lights down, gang expert Carter Hickman warned the scattering of young men in the room: “The things that I am going to show you tonight I do not want you to let go to your head like you can beat the system.” He assured the audience that the footage he was about to show them was real.
Later, a chilling video of a drive-by shooting played.

Crime intelligence analyst Carter Hickman talks at Friday’s "Another Cry: Save Our Youth" anti-violence event in Tallahassee.
………………
.
In it, three gang members gun down a pedestrian from their car; they fire more than 13 shots at the victim. Then, one member gets out and fires another four shots at the victim lying on the ground. They drive away from the crime scene, laughing.
The victim was not killed for being a gang member. Instead, he was the unlucky target of a ritual gang initiation.
The video was only 15 seconds, but it left an impact. One man asked Hickman, as if for verification again, whether the events in the video happened.
“This is real,” said Hickman. “We couldn’t have made this up. We received this video from a gang member during an interrogation.”
He was talking to a crowd of audience members at Outreach Ministries’ first gang-prevention program at Tallahassee Community Center. It was part of a three-day “Anti-Violence” campaign.
At the start of his presentation, Hickman asked a friend in the audience to tell them about him.
That friend revealed that Hickman was a gang member in his youth in Havana, Fla.
“My friends and I had our own hallway in school,” said Hickman. “Females that came down the hallway expected to get felt up. And guess what? If you had a problem with it, we’ll beat you up too. We didn’t care.”
For organizer Kimberly Thomas, gang violence was much more real than most people in the audience. In a 2007 shooting much like the one shown, her young relative was killed for a gang initiation.
Afterward, she started “Another Cry: Save our Youth” program in Fort Pearce, Fla.
“We started the program five years ago after my god sister’s son was murdered for a gang initiation,” said Thomas. “Since we now live here in Tallahassee, we wanted to bring it here. We want it to turn into a statewide, and even nationwide, effort.”
Hickman said young people choose gangs for many reasons, including intimidation from members, influence from family and a need for recognition. Small towns – like Tallahassee and Havana – are not immune to gang violence. In fact, Hickman said, at least three gangs — including "The Holton Street Boy," "4th Ave. Players," and "The Lake Bradford Boys" — occupy sections of this city.
“How do you think small cities like Tallahassee are exposed to gangs?” said Hickman. “These gang members of smaller gangs go to prison and become apart of larger, more powerful gangs. They bring this back to the community.” This process is referred to as ‘gang migration.’”
Audience member Angela Rims was “shocked” to learn about the gang activity in Leon County.
“You never think about protecting your children from being influenced by gangs in such a small city,” said Rims, “but no matter what, you must be a parent.”
Hickman focused specifically on the largest gang in the United States — named “Folk Nation,” an assembly of various gangs including “Cobras”, “La Raza” and “Gangster Disciples” founded by Larry Hoover (made more recently relevant through rapper Rick Ross’s "Blowin’ Money Fast" single).
Although Hoover is serving a 200-year sentence in federal prison, his influence on the Folk Nation gangs, or sets, remains strong. Hickman demonstrated the subtle signs used by gang members to detect one another. By slyly shifting his belt to the right, he explained the significance of the seemingly harmless motion. Other symbols for the gang include the Star of David and the number “six.”
“All it takes is one movement and they [gang members] know,” said Hickman. “Any affiliated gang member of ‘Folk Nation’ will recognize the movement, and other gangs will recognize it too.”
Guest speaker Hickman works as a crime intelligence analyst for the Florida Department of Corrections specializing in gang activity.
Thomas called him a “walking wealth of information” for his work on gangs and his 25 years in the military.
He ended the talk with the 15-second video, which had gang members had turned over during an interrogation.
The young audience members were given key chains with the slogan “Do the Right Thing” to remind them to stay safe amid peer pressure and moral questions.
