Consider that he is likely in the gang to protect his little siblings.  You don&#x27;t even want to know what happens to a younger sister when their older brother doesn&#x27;t join a gang for protection.  And if he didn&#x27;t attack you... well let&#x27;s just say gangs can be very creative in their methods of punishment.  If anything, the low level flunky has far more to lose than just a pay check, so if anything, their behavior would be more justified (if you go with the logic).
