FSU (Friends Stand United), is a gang that orginated to eliminate anti racist gangs, mainly from punk rock shows. The gang was founded by Elgin James, who has now become something of an underground celebrity because of it.
When the gang started it was made up mostly of people with Irish, African, or Puerto Rican heritage. They were usually outnumbered by the racist gangs (neo nazi skinheads) but would compensate by being extremely violent towards them. They used weapons such as hammers, cueballs in socks, and had once even used a human thigh bone.
Eventually, racist gangs became obsolete at punk scene shows.
