It's fairly large in the Fresno area as well.
HERSEY: Remember when I asked you if you knew what a SHARP was? Check out the webpage and browse through some of the links if you have some spare time, some of it might interest you.
SKINHEADS AGAINST RACIAL PREJUDICE
My outlook on SHARP's is positive, and I support most of what they do. I was never affiliated with them, but my brother was deep in the game, and sadly enough, it ultimatley lead him to a 2 year prison term. I don't know how different they are from each other state to state, but here, you can't tell them apart from any other skinhead. My brother would wake up every day, strap on his low-top doc martin's with his pants rolled up over his ankles, as he would toss his bald head through a solid white t-shirt to cover the tattoo across his lower back spelling out "SKINHEAD" in old-english letters. To most he is just another racist peckerwood... couldn't be further from the truth.
Now what I mean by supporting them in "most" of what they do is this; From what I have seen (I really never hung out with any of these guys) they are essentially as vicious as any other gang on the streets. Just like a crip would react to the presence of a blood, these SHARPS would almost identically react at the sight of a NAZI or PECKERWOOD. To make a long story short, my brother nearly beat someone to death, crushing his skull into his brain (what he served time for), which eventually lead to his departure of that life. I have yet to ask him of his current beliefs on his past; with two strikes against his life, im sure he wants to keep that behind him. In conclusion, I will say that I support their beliefs, but I wouldn't condone many of their actions.
