Gangs

Gangs are often a key part in the stories of the gta's, whether it be working for them or "removing" them from a territory you see as yours. They are often quite agrresive and will most likely attack you if you use a weapon and/or attack them first. Gang's can also be of quite a bit of help during some missions, especially San Andreas.
