Did "In Loving Memory of..." start with the gang banger thug culture?
So you are at a light and a truck in front of you has “In loving Memory of Mommy’s Little Angel 2001–2005” sticker with crosses in the rear window.
Now you’re sorry for her loss, but does it ruin someone’s morning? Why do people want to share their grief like this? Who wouldn’t feel bummed about a 4 year old death? Do you really want to know about it? Do people enjoy wearing their grief on their sleeves?
Wasn’t it gangs who started this sticker thing “in loving memory of” when one of their hommies got shot down by a rival? Now you see them everywhere. “Hey.. everybody… look at me.. look at the tragedy I went through.” It seems to trivialize death, not honor it.
“In loving memory of Hector “Sniper” Gonzales 1990–2008”
“In loving memory of “Swiper” 1992–2008”
“In loving memory of “Creeper” 1985–2005”
This is always near the “Raider Nation” or “Go Raiders” stickers on the back of the car/truck/SUV.
You’ll see it on the redneck trucks too, Wedged right between the “Calvin pissing on Chevy” sticker, and the “deer in crosshairs” sticker:
“R.I.P Robert Earl Dale Lee “P-Nut” Walker, VII
1989 – 2009”
