I was astonished to hear how some 150 fellow Blackfeet are involved with "Crip" and "Blood" gangs! And how 30 of my fellow Blackfeet are "hardcore" gang-members!. All it takes is one "Crip" or "Blood" gang-member to cause genocide with any race or neighborhood. Let us remember, that gang activity is spurred on by Satan's influence. Gangs are not guided by God's Holy Spirit and wisdom, which is clean and wholesome. Here on Death Row in California, there are many "Crip", "Blood", "Mexican", "White" and "Asian" gang-members. They handle issues with violence, peer pressure, drug and alcohol trade and intense intimidation! Gangs are murder incorporated, even against their own family members, cause their thoughts and actions are severely twisted! You people on the Blackfeet Reserve must form a united neighborhood watch, and be firm in your resolve to eradicate the "Crip" and "Blood" gang activity. You must be strong and courageous and work closely with the law enforcement teams. You must not be afraid or intimidated by this detrimental gang activity. You must step up and take back your streets and clean neighborhoods! Otherwise, one day you may see your 10 or 11-year old daughter or son wearing gang-colors as they sell drugs, or guns to other younger children. Yes, it's true, gangs have no discretion or morals when it comes to recruiting soldiers for their enrollment. For my fellow 150 Blackfeet, and especially those tough 30 hardcore "Crip" and "Blood" gang-members, "Poop this out cuz", you will end up on Death-Row somewhere or worse, end up dead! These are your only options, since your rampant lifestyles of gang activity will lead you here.

How do I know? Well, I've spoken to many various gang-members and they admit their wrong lifestyles and twisted thoughts caused them to end up on Death-Row! (Ephesians 5:15-17). But my fellow 150 Blackfeet, you have the opportunity to have a change of heart and mind. And contribute to your community, rather than ruin a lot of lives. It's your choice, we'll see.

Your Fellow Blackfeet,

Martin James Kipp, San Quentin Prison, California
