228: What does this number mean?

228 - one of the most common logos on clothes. This icon flashes both on the street and on the Internet. And in most cases, teenagers. Senior pupils, trying to concoct a brutal appearance, show jerseys, baseball caps, hats, posing for foty on ava. These three figures are often heard from the fading speakers of cars passing by. They can also be heard if you inadvertently listen to the rhymes that the rap lovers reproduce while sitting at your doorstep.

Interesting?

"No, well, in our time there were young people with engraving 666 on T-shirts. Strange, with long hair. But 228 is something new. Yes, and they look kind of unhealthy. Is there a disease number of something? What does it mean in general? "- approximately such comments are given by passers-by in various surveys concerning youth problems. And no wonder. Until recently, the significance of these mysterious figures was unknown even to those over twenty. And this caused more and more interest in the mysterious number (all, except for the parents of the owners of this logo on their clothes).

In the end, they asked.

They took an interest and were amazed. Only rejoiced at the disappearance of the emo-subculture, as a new one came to replace it! No less frightening.

First mentions

All, probably, one day ordered a cheap taxi or caught a collapsing ride. If a miracle happened, and in this car there was a radio, then it necessarily played a chanson, a tuber (usually the 90's) or a monotonous throb like "I looked at the sky. This is above the earth, above my head. Handsomely!". By the way, this is also music. At least so many of our children believe. So, among this "creativity" there are such rhymes like "cigarettes - two two eight", "for those who powder a nose, - be afraid of two two eight" and many more moments when it is mentioned about this number, and that it Means.

"228-culture", whatever one may say, originates from the texts of modern rap artists.

What is it?

For today it is possible to select several values for the number 228. What does it mean, what is its origin, consider on the most famous examples:

1) The intermediate natural number between the numbers 227 and 229.

2) 228 means "incident 228", also known as "massacre 228". This event took place in Taiwan in 1947.

3) 228 is an article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, warning that it awaits those who will be engaged in the storage, distribution, sale and transportation of narcotic substances.

4) 228 - a conventional sign of those in the subject. These are drug addicts, drug dealers, people who are somehow connected with this dirty business.

Well and it is necessary to allocate the fifth value which has appeared thanks to diligence of individuals of school age:

5) Youth subculture, using for its designation code 228. What does this number mean? Adoration before night clubs, heavy / light drugs, rap creativity of famous drug addicts. This sign is found in adolescents aged 11 to 17 years.

If everything is clear in the first and fifth paragraphs, then the second, third and fourth points should be considered in more detail. The second is for general development. The rest - in order to tear off the offspring clothes with the logo 228 and throw it into the oven.

Incident in Taiwan

What does the number 228 mean for the people of Taiwan? In 1945, Taiwan joined back to China, since before that it had been in the status of a Japanese colony for about fifty years. Naturally, at the conclusion of World War II, China, taking advantage of the opportunity, returned as one of the victorious countries its lands. However, the people of Taiwan were not particularly happy about this, because they believed that the Chinese government was mired in bureaucracy, corruption, greed, etc.

Naturally, with this attitude, the disaster was not over. All the discontent was splashed out on one normal day, when the saleswoman of cigarettes grappled with the authorities. The incident turned into mass slaughter, in which about thirty thousand civilians were killed. After that, a series of repressions, arrests, exile and executions ensued. What do the numbers 228 mean in this case? This is the date of the event - February, 28th (02.28).

Surely most schoolchildren wearing T-shirts and baseball caps with a sign of 228 express their condolences to the brotherly people of Taiwan. And the whites of their eyes periodically turn red from the showering guys about this emotion and tears.

You're powdering a nose - be afraid of two or two or eight!

Now let's move on to the Criminal Code of our country. What does Article 228 mean? Consider.

Article 228 provides for the illegal nature of the possession, transportation, sale and manufacture of narcotic and psychotropic substances, and also includes the storage, transportation, sale of plants containing narcotic and psychotropic substances.

So, all these actions entail a fine of forty thousand rubles, which must be paid within three months. Also, the violation of the article is fraught with the appointment of correctional labor for a period of about two years. Or the guilty person is sent to public works of four hundred and eighty hours (of course, with a respite). In addition, there are also punishments such as "conditional" or "camps" for a period of three years.

On a larger scale, the perpetrator faces a sentence of three years. Plus a fine of half a million rubles.

In the case of particularly large amounts, the term of imprisonment will be from ten to fifteen years. And the fine is already from one and a half million rubles and above.

If the guilty person was guilty, handed over all the narcotic or psychotropic substances in his possession or reported the places where they are stored, and also indicated the persons who have such substances, he is considered innocent, he is not being prosecuted.

But if this repentance comes from the drug dealer, the custodian, the carrier during the investigation, the seizure of narcotic or psychotropic substances from him, this does not absolve him from criminal liability.

Large and particularly large amounts of narcotic or psychotropic substances are established exclusively by the Government of the Russian Federation.

If the detainee finds analogues of narcotic or psychotropic substances, then this is equated to the storage of the said.

Those who are "in the subject"

This already applies to the aforementioned custodians, distributors and sellers of drugs. It is often the case when on their pages in social networks you can find the code 228. What does this mean? In these circles, this is a kind of conventional sign. Now, such personalities who freely trade on the streets can be met extremely rarely, for which huge thanks to nationalists, athletes and just lovers of a healthy lifestyle. It was they who at one time "pushed the cap" to the activists of this culture.

However, every day there are traders who act incognito. It is extremely difficult to catch them, because they have learned from the bitter experience of their traumatized colleagues that they observe all kinds of measures of conspiracy.

The essence of their work is to offer goods via the Internet, receive funds to their electronic wallet and leave the sold (bookmark) in a certain place. After the trader leaves it, he tells this place to his buyer.

Those who are "in school"

In general, if you discovered this symbolism from your child (especially if you yourself acquired a thing with this symbolism because of ignorance), then this is not a reason to sound an alarm.

What does 228 mean on your child's hat? Most likely, this is just an imitation of the majority and no more. However, sooner or later it can grow into a real "worship" of this idol. It's time to hold a conversation about what is good and what is bad. The main thing is unobtrusive.

By the way, about "DotA"

It seems, as if not in a subject. And in fact, it is she who has gotten more schoolchildren into her networks than spice or coke ( meaning drugs).

228 in real life has a completely different character than what these numbers mean in a computer game. Here we are talking about the phenomenon "Nagantor 228", which means in the "Dot" hacking system, inherent to not very honest players.

Although if you look from the side that it is much more useful for a child to spend time outdoors than to turn into a vegetable sitting behind a monitor, it will not be superfluous to throw the system unit out of the window. Well, or discharge it into a whole clip from a traumatic gun. Choose what's best for you.

Outgoing issue

Fortunately, fashion comes, and then changes. Those who yesterday wore tight jeans and dyed hair, today pulling iron in a rocking chair. This is to the fact that if your child is just prone to adhere to the mass flow, then there is one nice news - today in fashion, sport and a healthy lifestyle.

If he has not already noticed, then it's time for him to be careful (in the literal sense - the obsession is just superfluous) about this hint.
