Sam Winchester with a gun would be okay, since he wouldn't kill you unless you're a terrible inhuman character, but, think of a thug with tattoos all over the body, extremely hot-tempered coming with a gun towards you, and for no reason, he aims it at you.
You would fight? Or you wouldn't care? Or you would try to escape? Of course you may be a good fighter, a talented traceur of parkour, but with these violent gangs, any of us would be dead in seconds.
These are some of the most violent gangs in the world.
Yakuza
Yakuza is a traditional Japanese gang. A Yakuza member must cut all bonds with his family in order to show his loyalty to the gang. Yoshio Kodama became their first Godfather who's an extremely right-winged man. They've got more than 100,000 members and holds a firm hand in Japanese pornography industry. Yakuza has been also found in Hawaii, Nevada, California and New York. They've got their own traditional tattoo arts. Yubitsume (finger-shortening) is the act of cutting down a part of a member's little finger as a punishment, this is done when one does a misdeed. Death is like poetry to them.
However, during the tsunami destruction the Yakuza gang became acted faster than the government by helping the hosts with providing water, food, toiletries, clothes etc. For the first time in my life I heard such thing about a gang.
Crips
Crips was a gang founded in Los Angeles, California in 1969; their gang name Crips in the full form is "Community Restoration In Progress". They began as a local gang and graduated into one of the biggest criminal groups. They wear blue which is their gang colour, and are rivals with the gang Blood. Crips are believed to have 30,000-35,000 gang members, involved in robberies, murdering and drug dealing. A "Cuz" refers to another Crip member while "Slob" refers to a blood member.
There is no official initiation ritual for them while most common ways are getting beat for one minute or killing someone.
We know some of the most famous Crip gang members who are celebrities. The most famous Crip member is "Snoop Dogg". Some of the others are Eazy-E, Nate Dogg, MC Ren and Young Jeezy.
Latin Kings
Considered as one of the most dangerous gangs in the USA founded in the 1940's in Chicago with a history written in blood. They're currently under the leadership of Gino Colon (Lord Gino) and Raul Gonzalez (Baby King). The females of this gang are known as Latin Queens.
Their official gang colors are gold(life) and black(death). Latin decedents, Italians, and Portuguese races are found in the gang. Their emblems are "The five pointed crown", "The lion with a crown", the initials ALK, ALKN, ALKQN, ADR, LK, LKN.
Their rivals gangs are Folk Nation aligned STGs, Crips, Latin Locos, Solidos, 20 Luv and Elm City Boys (ECB), Nation, Gangster Disciples, Black Gangster Disciples, La Raza, Imperial Gangsters, Maniac Latin Disciples, Satan Disciples and Spanish Cobras. A whole lot to deal with.

Barrio 18 (18th Street Gang, M18)
Barrio 18 or the 18th Street Gang emerged as a small-time street gang in Los Angeles, but today they've developed into a vast community making us questionable how far they've spread. It is believed that they have more than 65,000 members in 120 cities. They rule cities in El-Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras where they've got weak governments and strong gangs.
Barrio 18 is the bitter rival of the gang MS-13, therefore killing a member from that gang is a must for a Barrio 18 member. They've got brutal rituals such as the18-secondnd beating" which is the initiation to become a member, while a female must do sexual activities to become a member. Like Yakuza, they too must cut their ties with family and other non-members. Murder is a duty for all members, it is must for them. Respect for the leaders is must, or in case if someone doesn't, extremely sorry! They're main income is bound with drugs.
If a kid's parents are members, they encourage their children to join the gang and the saddest fact is that toddlers as young as four years can be seen flashing the gang sign. Age doesn't matter for them.
Show below is a picture of a Barrio 18 parents with their baby.
MS-13 (Mara Salvatrucha)
Here, we come to the horror story of most terrifying, brutal and the deadliest gang. This can be given the #1 position for the most dangerous gang. MS-13 or Mara Slavatrucha was formed in the 80's and their success for the subject of violence has received A+ growing the gang to an international threat.
The gang members love using machetes, knives to guns and keeps their motto "Kill, rape and control". With their own style of tattoo art and hand signs they have widely spread from South America to North. They're graduates of money laundering schemes, prostitution rings, human trafficking operations and illegal arms dealing.
In order to join the gang one must do severe violent actions. Just like other gangs in order to become a full member he must be beaten for 13 seconds as the gang leader counts "One Mississippi..two mississipi.." . Females must satisfy up to 15 gang members to become a member.
They're the most violent gang who rules El-Salvador making it the capitol of violence in the world. Their rival gang is Barrio 18, and killing has become their life by making El-Salvador the country with the most homicides.
MS-13 has ties with the terrorist group Al Queda as one of the terrorist leaders were seen in Honduras meeting with high ranked MS members.
What we can learn from this is that we live in a world with unimaginable violence. There were some facts that I could not even present due to many reasons. I wrote this just to share what I read about these gangs.
