Vuk, I wouldn't say you encountered a gang. The kids you confronted aren't gangsters and aren't representative of them.
They're stupid little kids who like to puff out their chest.
We have some gangs near where I live - (Surenos, apparently feuding with other Surenos, the Bandidos, and some white supremacists). I saw a Bandido prospect in Walmart the other day.
Those folks I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to confront. I get the idea they might not all be super tough, just much more willing to use violence than the average person.
EDIT: See MRD's post above for a better explanation. Some weeks back there was a drive-by in they city I work in. Luckily the shooters were crap shots. And apparently their target pulled a gun and shot back. The police caught them shortly thereafter, but haven't managed to charge anyone but the driver.
