The Gang Turns Black
Criminal Activities
Attempted Theft
Attempt to unlawfully enter another person's vehicle (attempted breaking and entering of a motor vehicle) with the apparent intent to access possessions/keys inside. Under U.S. law this is generally charged as attempted burglary, attempted theft, or unlawful entry of a vehicle depending on jurisdiction.
Situation:
"After waking up changed, some members of the Gang decide to locate the owner of the reflection (Reggie Williams). The transcript shows them discussing rocking the car, using a coat hanger/wire, checking the back door and sliding the window down in order to get into a car that is not theirs. Police sirens are heard as officers respond to a reported robbery in progress at that location."
Disorderly Conduct
Disorderly conduct statutes (and harassment laws) prohibit behavior that unreasonably disturbs the peace, causes alarm, or harasses another person in public. This commonly includes loud/violent/abusive conduct in public spaces, bum‑rushing or persistently following/approaching someone in a manner likely to cause alarm, and provoking or creating a public disturbance.
Situation:
"The Gang loudly bangs on and sings in/around a closed electronics store (The Wiz), loudly performs inside the business after the owner initially refuses service, and generally behaves in a manner that prompts the store owner to call 911 to report a disturbance. Police subsequently respond and the encounter escalates."
