WHAT CITY DID LATIN KINGS COME FROM?

[zip3ace]

Which borough in NY has the most LK's? Bronx?

in my opinion thats hard to tell, they dont really B out like that with they flags on. I would guess Manhattan...

Are there rough parts in conneticut? I've only been there once for 3 days.

hell yeah son go to bridgeport new haven or hartford and COnnecticut was ONE of the first to start latin kings read i said ONE but yeah connecticut got some hoods real talk

[Quickdraw]

Nah, I read somewhere that had some gang membership numbers. And the Kings in NY only had like 8,000, not over 10,000. So nah, they aint as deep as the CHI Kings. If they were in Chicago they wouldnt crack the top 5 in gang membership just like if you one of the biggest LA Crip gangs in Chicago they wouldnt be considered big time. Thats not even possible to come close to the originals, just like a GD set outside of the CHI could never be bigger than the GDz in Chicago, just like a Blackstone set outside of the CHI could never be bigger/stronger than Stones in Chicago, just like a Vice Lord set outside of Chicago can never be bigger/stronger than the ones in Chicago, just like a 4CH set outside of Chicago could never be bigger than the ones in Chicago, just like a Black Disciple set outside Chicago could never be bigger/stronger than the ones in Chicago, just like a Maniac Latin Disciple set outside Chicago can never be bigger than the ones in Chicago. Cuz they are Super "Gangs" in Chicago.

[Quickdraw]

Yea, it was in Narcotics Digest, I was searching up shit bout the Latin Kings outside Chicago and found it. It came out last year. The only thing that they had completely wrong on there is the profile on BPSN in Chicago. Cuz BPSN is over 15,000. They probably didnt factor in all the factions of BPSN. Cuz its wayyyyy deeper than anyone would know who is not from Chicago. There are gruops like Jabari Stones, Titanic Stones and the No Limit Stones and Maniac Stones who be in Terror Town.

"Almighty Latin Kings and Queen Nation was formed in the 1970's by Luis Felipe. The gang shares a common culture and structure with the Chicago-based Latin Kings but does not report to Latin Kings. Membership is estimated to be 2,200 to 7,500, divided among several dozen chapters operating in 15 cities in five states. A primary source of income is the distribution of powdered cocaine, crack cocaine, and marijuana. The gang is also involved in various criminal activities including assualt, auto theft, burglary, and homicide."

What they been by dont report to Latin kings is that they are independent. They what we call renegades in Chicago. These are the guys with egos who wanna do their own thing and not like its supposed to be. Chicago gives blessings to starts a legit branch somewhere else, but the leader of that branch is recieved orders and is monitored by Chicago higher up who can enforce certain things and can remove leaders that is running the branch into the ground. They in Chicago can police branches even though they are miles away from that Chicago. That is what we call an organization.

LATIN KINGS (from same source)

"The Chicago-based Almighty Latin King Nation, commonly referred to as Latin Kings, is a collection of over 160 structured gangs, referred to as chapters, operating in 158 cities in 31 states. The gang's current membership is estimated to be 20,000 to 35,000. Most members are Mexican American or Puerto Rican males. Latin Kings' main source of income is street-level distribution of cocaine, heroin, and marijuana. Gang members primarily obtain drugs from several Mexican DTO's that operate along the US-Mexico border. Members also engage in other criminal activity such as assault, burglary, homicide, identity theft, and money laundering."

The only thing they have wrong is, the Chapters are not gangs in themselves. They are as said, only Chapters. And CHI Kings are predominately Puerto Rican with many Mexicans and other races, but Ricans first. I would guess that the LKz outside of Chicago are more Mexican seeing how Mexicans have larger numbers than Ricans. No city in America outside of Chicago or NY even has 100,000 plus Puerto Ricans. I would say that they are probably the Latino single "gang" in America, 18th Street may be second, but seeing as 18th Street is only reported in 20 states and 44 cities they are drastically smaller than the Latin Kings, even without counting the independent King factions. The Vice Lords are found in over 70 cities and almost 30 states, they factor in as one of America's biggest gangs/group. But the Gangster Disciples have to be the biggest of them all.

[lordwhizv]

kings started in chicago-they were and are still a mexican gang started in BUSH NATION83rd street in chi-town late 50s-puerto rican picked it up and made it a cause-and travel with it -not documented but still100% truth-believe that

[Silencioso]

LK's were started in Chiacgo by NY Puerto Ricans that had moved there in the early 60's. There's some evidence they brought the gang identity with them from NY or that they had been Egyptian Kings, a NY gang from the 50's - early 60's, and changed the name to Latin Kings to show ethnic pride.

How the Latin Kings Started

The Latin Kings were a small organization when they first started and there were nothing but street gangs in the city of Chicago in the 1950’s but people only concentrate about the blacks and the Latinos because it was during the civil rights movement and that’s the focus. But at the same time there were a lot of Polish gangs, and Jewish gangs. A variety, a variety of gangs all over the city. The difference is that the Caucasian groups of the gangs were already set on the track of being politicians, commissioners, police officers and everything. We were set on a track of poverty. We’re not gonna get all this shit. The Humboldt Park community used to be a very strong and thriving Jewish community. It had maybe about 75 Jewish temples in the Humboldt Park community. You walk into Humboldt Park now and you won’t find one at all. Because when the Latinos were moved out of Lincoln Park into Humboldt Park the Jewish community so whoa hang on, what the fuck just happened. You know?

[StoneGreaser]

I worked with Rising up Angry in the late sixties, early seventies, and met quite a few Kings, partied with them, like that. Spent some time on Nation Tier in CCJ in 75, celled with a King from the Motherland. Point is, I knew a LOT of Kings from all over the city. That said, all the Kings I knew from the Motherland were PR's, and I never heard a word about Kings comin from Nueve York. Now, Cha Cha Jimenez, he usedta talk all that shit about the Young Lords being out NY, and I guess that's where his political base was, but I never heard it about the LK.

[OG Cabrini]

LKs started out in chi-town in Humbolt Park in the early 1960's. Read somwhere theres round 25,000 members today.
New York LKs formed in the mid 1980's when one of the chicago members(cant rememba the name right now) went to jail in NY n formed a new chapiter thur. A few yearz later sum of the members served they time n were out of the street n the gang grew from thurr on.

[OG Cabrini]

Just checkd n the g who started the LKs in New York is named Luis Felipe.

ALRIGHT WE CAN TALK ABOUT GANGS IN THE EARLY 1900´S BUT ITS ABOUT WHOS RUNNIN THE STREETS NOW, SO THE PAST AINT SHIT, YEAH MLD, IG´S ,ISC´S,LK´S WERE STARTED BY RICANS BUT THE THING IS THE RICANS MOVED OUT OF THE NEIGHBOURHOODS , THERES BARELY RICANS IN CHICAGO ONLY SOME IN HUMBOLTD PARK, SO NOW THE SOLDIERS OF IG´S MLD´S ISC´S ARE MEXICANS THERE MIGHT BE ONE OR 2 RICANS AND SOME OLD SCHOOL RICAN LEADER BUT MLD AND ISC IS A MEXICAN MOB. EVEN LATIN KINGS , ONLY LATIN KINGS THAT HAVE MANY RICANS AS SOLDIERS IS THE LATIN KINGS IN NEW YORK.
