Most likely that's where a dear friend to that person died and so they pour out a 40 in their name. It's kind of like when you see a cross on the side of a road, meaning that someone died in a car crashin that spot. I'm not sure though, just a thought.

I believe it is just a way of honoring a fallen person. Sort of like setting a place setting for a deceased family member,etc. etc.

Why are you so obsessed with gang culture? This is your second thread on it. And only a few people here probably know anything about it.

Meh as much as I hate wasting alcohol, a 3 dollar gesture doesn't bother me if they feel it honored their passed friend.

If it helps put their grieving minds at ease, it wasn't really a waste, at least how I figure it. I agree it is funny (weird but not so much comical) but so are most rituals surrounding death. A three dollar 40 for a friend that beside the circumstances would be there drinking with them, is a gesture I can understand.. Much more than a 10 thousand dollar casket, on a cemetery plot that goes for a few grand as well.. On top of a few thousand dollars of ceremonies.. But yes I definitely agree, that wasted booze, is alcohol abuse :P

Yeah. I get what you are saying,I have some experience I am what is called in law enforcement as a "known associate":( But I just still do not get it and would not do it myself.

Hmm. That sounds kind of interesting. I hope I never have to do it though.

$3 should get you 2 40s. One to pour out and one to slam down.
