What the fuck are we talking about. Gangs are nothing compared to Mafia I don't know what the hell you're smoking... Or do I,.
The 2 posters above are correct. However when we are referring to Street Gangs, I'd say Vice Lords and MS13's take the spot
Aye. I'm just fucking with you though. I'd say it's a tie between various motorcycle clubs and Hispanic gangs.
A gang is any group of people around the basis of organized crime. How does law enforcement fit this definition?
Apples and oranges, one is a prison gang and the other is a cartel. AB also carries out contracts for hispanic gangs (the whole race/ethicity angle is a recruitment tool, which is true for all gangs, not just the white ones). John Gotti paid the AB for protection http://listverse.com/2010/12/11/top-10-us-prison-gangs/
But they legally exist and legally can do those illegal things. There's a fine line between street gangs and police, it's dumb to argue which is which, because we all know the difference.
MS-13 by statistical accounts, further they are in with cartels South of the Border which guarantees several pleasures when they get to prison. And they will, they all do...Eventually. You either leave, die, or go to prison.
I don't. If they are enforcing illegal policies with illegal means then where exactly is the part that makes them legal? And how are they better than MS13?
You do know the difference. What makes them legal? The government lets them be. We all know they break laws but no one can stop them so basically they are the law. Police are heavily armed, now with military grade weapons, have power, vehicles, and support from even higher organizations such as the FBI, DHS, etc. What do street gangs have? Some organization, weapons, and drugs, but No power and no political position. Quit playing this "i don't know the difference" shit
