Absolutely! This happened in early ‘98. I was a teenager in Puerto Rico and there are gangs that are territorial. I just wanted to hang out with my friends and I was influenced by their “philosophy” about being “family”. I understood the concept, but wanted something more…psychologically. I fought this guy who had brought a car-ful of people to jump my friend (R.I.P 1998), eventually I became the target and was in process for initiation. I never went through with it and I moved back stateside. Nothing was gory, but it felt like the longest fight of my life. There were countless students outside, to include the bus drivers watching from the inside of their vehicles enjoying it. It was a thrill ride and I would probably have done it again, but it isn’t a life I would want to live. I remember getting tired and trying to butt his head on a concrete sphere. Didn’t work out, but eventually we were separated. Needless to say, I did win, but marginally so to speak. I ended up having to fight another guy who was his friend a few months down the road.
