Rastafarian Kareem Stuart, 28, displays his Majestic Alley Crips (MAC's) tattoo. The Crips and Bloods arrived in Belize City in the mid 1980's. Stuart has been a member for 12 years. Although Rastafarians do not believe in a life of violence, Stuart openly holds his Crip status higher than his belief in Rastafarianism. He has recently quit his job as a security guard because he makes better money selling marijuana and cocaine.
