Chicago gangs grew enormously in the 1960s. Gang wars erupted regularly over narcotic-trafficking turfs. The city’s Black and Hispanic gang problem “exploded” at this time also, a period of increased social turbulence and gang expansion in the city, and it went in the 1970s and Violence was so rampant during the 1980s that City police frequently ignored reports of gang shootings in some parts of the poorest neighbourhoods. By the 1990s, four of Chicago’s largest gangs, the Black Gangster Disciples Nation, the Latin Disciples, the Latin Kings, and the Vice Lords totaled an estimated 20,000 members. But to understand how this gang violence started and how these gangs became so powerful we must go back and identify the main men that started these gangs, that have now today become so ruthless its now a disease that is becoming difficult to contain, and the reason why I say contain, because at the level at which these gangs operate its pass stopping them. Today we will take a deep dive into the stories of the most ruthless gang leaders in Chicago’s history.
