The Gang Gets a New Member
Criminal Activities
Assault
Threatening another with imminent physical harm or displaying a weapon in a manner that puts others in reasonable fear of harm; in many jurisdictions brandishing a firearm or threatening violence is a criminal offense.
Situation:
"During the initiation scene the Gang turns on Schmidty and forcibly ejects him from a moving car. The transcript records members urging Frank to 'push' Schmidty out, Frank physically pushing him, and the group yelling 'You're out of the gang!' as Schmidty is forced from the car. Dennis and Mac participate by directing/encouraging the action; Frank is the primary actor who executes the push."
Theft
Unauthorized taking and consumption of another person's personal property (petty theft/larceny): intentionally taking possession of property belonging to someone else without that person's consent.
Situation:
"At the ceremonial meeting the Gang presents candles as part of the setup; Schmidty asks 'Where did you steal these from, huh?'—an explicit assertion in the transcript that the candles were taken without authorization. The candles are in the possession of the Gang members present (Dennis, Mac, Frank), which implicates them in the theft."
