StreetGangs.Com forum on gangs around the world

Haven't seen Cocaine Cowboys yet but I've read about Blanco and she was one vicious woman!

She's a product of Medellin which had horrifying levels of drug cartel and street gang activity.

Pablo Escobar, by far. He bribed and intimidated columbian Parliment into rewriting the Columbian constitution making it so criminals couldn't be extradited to America. When the U.S. got involved, however, they had no choice but to pursue him. The American Delta Force DID kill Pablo, and the soldie...

I completely disagree with the article that the Crips, Bloods and MS-13 are organized.

This is terrible and Mexican organized crime is really nasty. I'd say it's similar to Colombia in the organized crime sense, but Colombia has a lot of terrorism as well and far worse street gang violence than Mexico.

are the groups based on geographical proximity supposed to be street gangs or not ? there are now around 120 street gangs in london, most in the inner boroughs Yeah, a lot of these gangs are blatantly street-level - which makes you wonder why they use the word "network". Makes no sense to me. The l...

To be fair to Los Angeles, though it's understandable that people use it as a reference or comparison given the mainstream coverage it attracts, it hardly compares to many cities in Latin America or South Africa. Far worse than Britain though. The gang problem in the UK is mundane really, but the wo...

Banning guns only takes them away from law-abiding citizens. Criminals do not follow gun laws because guess what? They're criminals. It's more likely to increase crime and murder than lessen it. The most dangerous parts of the US have the tightest gun laws which are similar to the regulations in Bri...

Have to say that I don't see this 'organized' trait in the vast majority of bloods or crips gangs.

Hello alonso, my name's Brig and I'm new here. Are you famous or something??

Oh yeah can someone please tell me how to post in the international gangs forum?? I keep getting this 'only users granted special access' screen that comes up. I don't understand, I only thought that stuff was for the VIP sections. Sorry about posting here but I'm not sure where else to put it.

Mate I don't wanna get drawn too off-topic here as this is supposed to be about the biggest drug lord but I'll say this: I've read "Killing Pablo" and it's an inaccurate, pro-American account. Apart from dubiously 'suggesting' Delta pulled the final trigger, he gave no credit to the [I think, correc...

Thats why they are foot soldiers. But dont sit here and tell me America's biggest gang that still operates with most of its higher ups in jail (Hoover over 200 years) is not organized. When the chain of command is still in service. If they werent organized Hoover wouldnt be the Chairman, the youngi...

Dude, everybody knows Delta exists. I have no idea why the pentagon tries denying their existence. I'd be less surprised if the British or Israeli special forces pulled the trigger LOL - but seriously, all the evidence points to Colombian cops unless you've gotta link that proves otherwise.

I put it in here cause this type of activity is Organized crime. You sure about that?? Sounds like common delinquency/street gang activity to me. I'm not attacking you but there does seem a lot of 'street gang' stuff in the 'organized crime' forum. Take a look at the gangster disciples. Your averag...

Does anyone know about Cali, Colombia? One of the most violent cities in the world.

Pablo Escobar, Carlos Castano, one of the FARC or one of the Cali Cartel. Definitely Colombian. Also, there's no evidence whatsoever that Delta Force killed Escobar and if they did, we'd know about it. They're not very secretive compared to other spec-ops units worldwide.

Honduras is probably the gang murder capital of the world right now. El Salvador's murder rate has been dropping steadily since 1994 and Honduras has got worse. There's also significant drops in murder in Colombia and South Africa. Just the sheer scale of mass killing by 'street gangs' in Honduras m...

Happy new year to everyone on this site. Also why can't I post replies in the 'international gangs' forum?? I've just registered and an 'only users granted special access' (or something like that) screen comes up. I don't understand.
