i never said they are just in chicago. they started in chicago. i didn't want to make this a tl;dr post of gang history

[shadow's_rave]

gangs have no place in society. I think to stop gangs I wouldnt' mind a secret police taking them on. gangs just take from society, hurt society, hurt innocent people, for property they don't even own, pathetic really.

does this mean i get to write a 13 page paper on this mantra too?!?!?!?

American Gangster Episode 1
American Gangster is the story of Frank Lucas and Leroy "Nicky" Barnes - their rise from street punks to the top of New York's 1970's high-flying drug market. The two men were considered the drug czars of Harlem at the height of the drug-fueled decade. Lucas and his gang "The Country Boys" claim to have smuggled heroin from Asia in the caskets of fallen American soldiers. Barnes, the leader of a cartel of African-American drug dealers called "The Council," made the cover of New York Times Magazine. The headline read "Mr. Untouchable." President Carter was so incensed, he personally ordered the Attorney General to go after him. The story is a violent, action-filled chronicle of Harlem and its kingpins.

The mother and father of the children lay beside them on the floor, also soaked in blood. The target of the hit was the family's patriarch, Anthony "Dido" Moreno. He had dropped out of one of California's most notorious prison gangs and this was his payback. No witnesses, was the order. The gang he deserted was the Mexican Mafia. Since it's inception in the 1950's the "Black Hand" has been the prison system's most active shot-callers, controlling thousands of "foot soldiers" on the streets of Southern California. Most laws enforcement officials estimate that 300 homicides per year in LA County have some connection to the Mexican Mafia.

thats good shit and all but im looking for
"To Torture or to Kill?"
its about "los zetas"

[Klover]

^learning about gangs in that sense does not really lead to gang prevention.

the way i see it, gangs are the same as fraternities in how they are formed and the mentality behind them, fraternities just have positive mission statements instead of succeeding and rising to the top by any means necessary.
