Was Jo a gangster before she came to Eastland?

FOL85NatandMrsGRock · 02-09-2001, 01:51 PM

what!!!! No!!! Why do you think that?? she just lived in a tough neighborhood... I'm sure she's NOT a ganster!!

josthebest · 02-09-2001, 02:41 PM

You mean a gang member? I don't know...she talked about the Young Diablos, hmmm....

Lil_miss_goodwrench_518 · 02-09-2001, 03:51 PM

she wasnt a gangster...dont think but i recall her saying that she was in the young diablos...so maybe she was agang memeber

FOL85NatandMrsGRock · 02-09-2001, 04:41 PM

no.. they were talking abotu how if she left eastland she'd have to be AROUND the young diablos... she wasn't in one.. if she was i dont think shed still be at eastland!! you can't be in a gang and not EVER see them! and besides if she would have tried to get out she probably would have been killed... bronx gangs are worse than milwaukee gangs.. and if you want to get out of a gang here you'd be killed for betraying them...

In Last night's episode, Help from Home, someone - I think it was her aunt- metioned her being in a gang.

" i always knew you were smart, even when you where a bum running around with that gang"

Growing up, I never remember late '70's/early 80's gangs being like they are today. They were more of a group of delinquents than the violent groups you see today. The tough ones still existed, but they weren't as visible as they are today. Anyhow, that's how it was growing up in Chicago. I can't imagine the Bronx being *that* much different.

Also, a lot of gangs had kinda' a 'junior' version for kids who weren't old enough for the regular gang.

Meg07945 · 02-12-2001, 07:50 PM

Also~ in The New Girl, did Mrs. G say that she had gotten into trouble with Eddie (not that kind of trouble!

lol!!). So maybe Eddie was in a gang and Jo just kinda ran around with them..who know though?

Gemini_89 · 02-24-2016, 01:16 PM

Heck yea! Jo was a gangsta alright! hahaha

I never thought that was Eddie. Mrs. Garrett just said "Then she met a boy who got her into trouble---uh, not that kind of trouble." I think Jo met some other boy, and went down the wrong road of juvenile delinquency, and then she met Eddie.

Jo's whole family gave off gangster vibes. Her father definitely did. Wait, Alex Rocco really was a gangster.
