The A-Tree society is an informal gang run throughout the southern towns of the Greater Boston Area. 'A-Tree' as it is known as thrives largely in the town of Hingham, Massachusetts, a region of the state which currently suffers from gang rivalry. This is evident through the emergence of four well sustained gangs, the CPP or Conservatory Park Posse, the CPC or the Crow Point Crew, SSS or South Side Sity, and finally the A-Tree Society a band of streets who at this point over rule the other gangs in the area. Headed by founder and minister Michael Gill, other followers joined including Chris Johnson (Middle), Nick Driscoll (Winthrop), John Arnos (Prospect), Mike Ferrucci (Saw Mill), Sean Flannery (Maryknoll), Ricky Tantillo (Grove) and Nate Popp (Gardner). Gang wars are common in the area in within the last six months after the formation of the A-Tree Society homicide rates have sky rocketed with an astounding 314 in a suburb of Boston containing merely 25,000 people. Drive bys are all too common as the A-Tree enjoys these frequently. Hence, their slogan "if you come to A-Tree you will leave with holes in ya chest." The Symbol for A-tree society is an ambulance, due to the damage the members will do to other gangs. The other gangs are known for being simply "not gang like" acts such as being pussies and other offenses toward the name gang have allowed the CPP (Conservatory Park Posse) to diminsh in respect and have recently lost members. The hey day of the A-tree society is evident and their ability to overpower other gangs seems to be something that may never decrease.
