The gangs of Chicago
Chicago, a city in the state of Illinois and the largest in the Midwest. With its population of over 2.8 million people located almost entirely in Cook County (a small portion of O'Hare International Airport overlaps into DuPage County), Chicago is the third largest city in the United States. The population of Chicago's metropolitan area, which covers several counties, contains over 9.7 million people in Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana, making it the third largest metropolitan area in the U.S.Chicago is classified as an alpha world city.
Located at the site of a portage between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River watershed, Chicago was incorporated as a city in 1837. It rapidly became a major transportation hub, as well as the business, financial, and cultural capital of the Midwest.
Regionally, Chicago can be divided by the river and its branches into three main sections: the North Side, the South Side, and the West Side. In the late 1920s the city was subdivided into 77 "community areas" by sociologists at the University of Chicago. The boundaries of the community areas are better defined than those of the over 210 neighborhoods throughout the city, allowing for better year-by-year comparisons.Downtown and The Loop
The downtown area, lying somewhat roughly between Division Street on the north, Lake Michigan on the east, Roosevelt Road on the south and DesPlaines Avenue on the west, is the main commercial and cultural section of the city and includes the city's tallest buildings. In recent years, downtown has become so popular it has taken on the additional role as a residential enclave, with a high number of residents living there. The area of the Loop, located within downtown, was named for a circuit of cable cars and later for the elevated train Loop where practically all branches of the CTA elevated and subway trains lead. Some of downtown's commercial, cultural, and financial institutions are located in the Loop.
North Side
The city's North Side (extending north of downtown along the lakefront) is the most densely populated residential section of the city. It contains public parkland and beaches stretching for miles along Lake Michigan to the city's northern border. Much of the North Side has benefited from of an economic boom which began in the 1990s. For example, the River North area, located just north of the Chicago River and the Loop, has undergone a transition from a warehouse district to an active commercial, residential, and entertainment hub, featuring the city's largest concentration of contemporary art galleries. Just west of River North's galleries and bistros, demolition of the CHA's Cabrini-Green housing project began in 2003, being replaced by upscale townhomes.
South Side
The South Side (extending south of downtown along Lake Michigan) is the largest section of the city, encompassing roughly 60% of the city's land area. The section along the lake is marked with public parkland and beaches. The South Side has a higher ratio of single-family homes and also contains most of the city's industry.
Along with being the largest section of the city in terms of geography, the South Side is also home to two of the city's largest parades: the annual Bud Billiken Day parade, which is held during the second weekend of August and celebrates children returning to school, and the South Side Irish Parade, which is always held the Sunday prior to Saint Patrick's Day, unless the holiday falls on a Sunday in which case the parade is held that day.
The South Side has two of Chicago's largest public parks. Jackson Park, which hosted the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893, is currently the site of the Museum of Science and Industry. The park stretches along the lakefront, linking the neighborhoods of Hyde Park and South Shore. Washington Park, which is connected to Jackson Park by the Midway Plaisance, is currently being considered as the primary site of the Olympic Stadium for the 2016 Summer Olympics if Chicago wins the bid.
West Side
The West Side (extending west of downtown) is made up of neighborhoods such as Austin, Lawndale, Garfield Park, West Town, and Humboldt Park among others. Some neighborhoods, particularly Garfield Park and Lawndale, have socio-economic problems including urban decay and crime. Other West Side neighborhoods, especially those closer to downtown, have been experiencing a rise in property value.
Major parks on the West Side include Douglas Park, Garfield Park, and Humboldt Park. Garfield Park Conservatory houses one of the largest collections of tropical plants of any U.S. city. Cultural attractions on the West Side include Humboldt Park's Puerto Rican Day festival, and the National Museum of Mexican Art in Pilsen.
Chicago has experienced a decline in overall crime since the 1990s. Murders in the city peaked first in 1974, with 970 murders when the city's population was over three million people (resulting in a murder rate of around 29 per 100,000), and again in 1992 with 943 murders, resulting in a murder rate of 34 per 100,000. After adopting crime-fighting techniques recommended by Los Angeles and New York City Police Departments in 2004, Chicago recorded 448 homicides, the lowest total since 1965 (15.65 per 100,000.) Chicago's homicide tally remained steady throughout 2005, 2006, and with 449, 452, and 435 respectively, and the overall crime rate in 2006 continued the downward trend that has taken place since the early 1990s.
Gangs
Black Disciples
The Black Disciples (often abbreviated as BDN or BDN III) are a large African American street gang based in Chicago, Illinois. The gang is considered extremely violent and is known to engage in drug trafficking and distribution, in addition to other criminal activities.The street gang is estimated to have 6,000+ gang members. MORE INFORMATION NEEDEDBlack P. Stones
The Almighty Black P. Stone Nation (often abbreviated BPSN or BPS) is a Chicago-based street gang estimated to have more than 23,000 gang members. The gang was originally formed in the late 1950s as the Blackstone Rangers. In later years, a quasi-Islamic faction of the gang emerged, naming themselves the El Rukn tribe of the Moorish Science Temple in America (or simply El Rukns), under their 'religious leader' and Blackstone Rangers founder Abdullah-Malik (born Jeff Fort)[citation needed]. The BPSN has managed to finance itself through a wide array of criminal activities and are also part of the large Chicago-based gang alliance known as the People Nation. MORE INFORMATION NEEDED

Gangster Disciples MORE INFORMATION NEEDED
Gangster Two-Six
The Gangster Two Six Nation, also known as GTS, G26, IIGVI and TSN, ." The Two-Six originated approximately 40 years ago in the Little Village community along 26th Street in Chicago. Since their formation the group has spread to other cities and counties in Illinois.[2] Their symbols include a playboy bunny with the right ear bent, though it has been drawn without the bent ear, three slashes with three dots, and two dice with two and six dots and a "T" shaped sword going through a "S" (known as a T-S sword).You can also include the symbol of Bugs Bunny, or the heart, the clover, and the diamond, as their main symbol. Their colors are Black and Beige (also tan, khaki, or light brown).MORE INFORMATION NEEDED
Gaylords
The Chicago Gaylords, also known as the Almighty Gaylords, is the oldest White Chicago street gang. It originated in the neighborhood of Grand and Noble. The original president of the Gaylords selected the name after reading about the Gaylords of France in the public library. The Chicago Gaylords started out as one of the clubs that were started by veterans post-World War II. Many of these social clubs had their own clubhouses and baseball teams. The Gaylord's clubhouse was on the corner of Ohio and Noble Street. The Chicago Gaylords would eventually leave the Ohio and Noble area as the neighborhood's population became more Latino.MORE INFORMATION NEEDED
Imperial Gangsters
The Almighty Imperial Gangster Nation street gang is a very violent Latino gang based in Chicago, Illinois they were believed to have been started in the North Side of Chicago on W Palmer Blvd and N Kedzie Avenue in the Palmer Square Park area. Their colors consist of Black and Pink. Symbols include Shotguns, an Imperial Gangster Crown, Pink Panther. They are well known in violent crimes such as car jacking, car "ramming", robberies, money laundering, and are considered to be armed and dangerous.MORE INFORMATION NEEDED
Insane Popes (North Side)
The "Popes" (also known as "The Insane Popes") are a Chicago, Illinois street gang, thought to have formed in the late 1960s or early 1970s on the north side of Chicago. They may have emerged from an unnamed "Greaser" gang in the late 1950s on Chicago and Wood Streets. By the mid 1970s the Popes main membership consisted of Greeks from the Albany Park/Lincoln Square neighborhood, and at their peak in the mid-1960s to early 1970s, they may have had 300-500 members. The southside Popes were also started by north Pope leader Larkin but became a separate and independent gang. The gang territory and workings are very different from northside to southside. And the distance from the north and south are very far. In a way they are different worlds. They were the third largest Caucasian street gang in Chicago, after the Gaylords (peak membership in the late 1970s 2000-3000) and Simon City Royals (peak membership in the early 1980s 1,500-2000).MORE INFORMATION NEEDED
Insane Popes (South Side) MORE INFORMATION NEEDED
Latin Counts
The "Latin Counts" street gang originated in Chicago took its name from a popular doo-wop group in Southwest Detroit during late 50's/ 60's. Sometime during the 70's young hispanic's began to use the moniker for more sinister purposes.The street gang spread throughout the midwest probably as a result of the decline of Detroit's economy. Members can be found from Chicago to Pittsburgh and even in Denver and St.Louis, and is affiliated with the "Peoples" nation.Members are known to brandish black & red colors and hats are worn tilted to the left.Symbols include a knights helmit and a five point star. In any event, the gang has occupied the streets of Pilsen for around five decades and has a well known reputation in the south side ofChicago and many Chicago suburbs as well. In Pilsen, the Counts were founded by a group of individuals who aligned to protect themselves against the neighborhood clubs already in existence. Currently, in the crowded gang landscape of Pilsen, the Counts are surrounded by many gangs, including the Satan Disciples, La Raza, Party People, Ambrose, and Bishops. The gang has experienced several changes of leadership over the years, but have continued to grow. The LC's have quite a strong presence in the South Chicago and Southwest Detroit community, as well as numerous Chicago suburbs including Cicero, Addison, West Chicago, Warrenville, Naperville and Chicago Heights. Metro Detroit also has a number of LC clicks, concentrated most heavily in the northwest suburb of Pontiac. In South Chicago, the gang has had an ongoing feud with the Latin Kings, Spanish Gangster Disciples, Ambrose, and Latin Dragons. In addition, they've battled with former Pilsen allies, the La Raza, Ambrose and Satan Disciples. In the Chicago suburbs, especially Cicero, the Latin Counts have waged a war against the small though well orgainzed street gang, The Sin City Boys. They've recently formed a relationship with the Gangster Disciples in the prison systems, due to a dispute with the Lords on the streets. In the inner city neighborhoods of Denver the Latin Counts have operations going on in East Denver and areas of West Denver. It has been stated by former members that in Denver there primary area of operation is some places located on West Colfax Avenue. The Latin Counts are known to have a strong influence in Southwest Detroit, Michigan where they have several areas of operations. The Counts primary criminal involvement has consisted of graffiti, drug trafficking, assault, arson, armed robbery, kidnapping, shootings, and murder.

Maniac Latin Disciples
The Maniac Latin Disciples are Chicago's second largest Latino street gang.[citation needed] They are one of the top gangs operating in Chicago's northern suburbs, according to the FBI and ATF. In sworn testimony before the United States Congress' Judicary Committee in 2005, Patrick Fitzgerald, the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, stated that the Maniac Latin Disciples are a "super gang", along with the Gangster Disciples, the Black Disciples, the Vice Lords, the Black P Stones, the Gangster Two Six, the Latin Kings,the Spanish Cobras, and the Satan Disciples.MORE INFORMATION NEEDED
Mickey Cobras
Under the leadership of Mickey Cogwell, the Mickey Cobras began as the "Cobra Stones" and were an official branch of the Black P. Stones Nation (BPSN) from 1961 until 1977. Cogwell was a founding member of the "Main 21" and was therefore a leader within the BPSN. He was later convicted in 1972 for defrauding the federal government grant of $927,000 from the U.S. Office of Economic Opportunity. After a falling out, the leader of the BPSN, Jeff Fort had Mickey Cogwell killed on February 25, 1977. At this point the gang became a separate entity that is today known as the Mickey Cobras gang. At the time of his death Cogwell had been working as an organizer for a southside union. In 1970 the commander of the Gang Intelligence Unit for the Chicago Police Department portrayed Cogwell as the link between gangs and organized crime, particularly the Chicago Outfit. The Mickey Cobras exist in areas of the southside that compete for membership with the BPSN, particularly in the area around Fuller Park.[2] They also controlled a segment of the Robert Taylor Homes housing project called "The Hole" until the buildings were demolished and the Cobra drug lines forced out into the street. Despite similar origins and affiliations, no one could say that just because both the BPSN and the Mickey Cobras today are affiliated with the People Nation that they are in any sense cooperative or friendly towards each other. They also have a small presence in Detroit, Michigan.MORE INFORMATION NEEDED

I live in that neighborhood. Paulina and Wilson, in-between Lawrence and Montrose, and Ashland and Damen. I've lived there for 2 years. I studied criminology and psychology in college and took a couple classes on gangs. I would consider myself pretty knowledgeable about gangs and their colors. I've never notice any Latin Kings in this neighborhood. It’s a pretty nice neighborhood with million dollar single family homes up and down the street. I've never felt unsafe, so I don't know where you are referring. If you say west of Western Ave more around Pulaski and Cicero and Montrose and Lawrence I would believe you more, because I've seen kings that way.

The Kings are and have been around Montrose Ave from Pulaski to the lake for years. You might not see them like you used to ten years ago, but they are there.

The Latin Kings of LK street (Leland and Kedzie) are present between Kimball in the west and run solidly to just beyond the chicago river where they meet the border of the the Lelan and Rockwell Kings. From North to south, foster avenue, to montrose is where Kings will commonly hang out. South River Park, and the area between Lawrence to sunnyside on Kedzie is also an area where Kings can be easily found.

The old folk/people alliances dont really mean anything. A lot of nations became "everybody killer". I live in Imperial Gangster hood they are folks but they battle Cobras & Orquestra Albany & they are both folks nations. They pretty much bang on everybody that rolls thro. You hear "king killa, cobra killa, OA killa, vicelord killa" You cant go by the old alliances at all. Even the MLD's battle other MLD sets.

Former 12th Street Player here:
We were one of the last Stoned Greaser white street gangs. The Players of today, I wouldn't recognize. We fought hard to keep our neighborhoods safe from drugs, but like most white street clubs, drugs got the best of us, as did massive immigration. Now, all of the old neighborhoods are crap. The Gaylords, Popes (North and Southsides), Bel Airs, Thorndale Jagoffs, Jousters, C-Notes, 12th Street Players and Noble Knights started as social clubs. They retained the legacy of the greaser-era clubs dating back to the 50's, but eventually drifted away, or turned completely into something else.

Bloods, black P Stones, 4Corna hustla Vice lords and alive and progressing in Ypsilanti area. what u would call the people Nation. vice Lords are the most orgganized mob in ypsi. but; the bloods are the most exposed. Bloods/crips have no structure like the vice Lords buty; the Vice lords R not even close to being orgainizwd like n chicago where the leaders come from. they say that the leaders has the rank of 5 star universial elite. i only know him as lord Chi2da "Y". 1st leader of the 4corna hustlas( Vice-Lords) main focus of the leaders is to tell Younger members to drop the gun/Drugts and pick up books and become productive members that will b able to get jobs in Law enforcement, couirt rooms, and city offoices where members wil b in better positions to help r people in more ways than just street crime.

Whats with the "mickey" cobra's? I grew up on the north side and Cobra's were few and far between over there as far as I know I never heard them called "mickey anything". But many in the comments are correct it was mainly LK's between Wilson-Montrose & Lawrence to Damen and from there the Gaylords had a section between Leeland and Lawrence- Wilson and Montrose between Damen and I am thinking to at least western. Their corner was considered, "Seeley and Eastwood firhouse", which is no longer there. The Gaylords were highly menacing, rarely involved in going out to create wars but eagerly attacking guys of any other race than caucasion who dared enter the area. I know a few who are dead now of all the gangs mentioned. The neighborhoods have undergone a transformation of yuppies and rehabs of old homes, but the gangs are still in the areas in small numbers. The above mentioned "million dollar homes" in that neighborhood, are just overpriced regular market homes that were over inflated during the housing boom. Nothing special. One thing that wasnt mentioned were any of the female gangs, just as bad in their own right!

I CANT BELIEVE THIS, CHICAGO GANG HISTORY AND NO ONE HAS USEFUL INFORMATION ON THE LATIN KINGS WHO WERE FOUNDED IN CHICAGO! REALLY?! THE LATIN KINGS WERE FOUNDED IN CHICAGO AS ONE OF THE FIRST ORGANIZED GANGS IN HISTORY AND NOT TO MENTION IS ESTIMATED AT 30,000 MEMEBERS JUST IN CHICAGO ALONE AND THE GANG HAS TIES TO EVERY LARGE CITY IN AMERICA. THE LATIN KINGS IN CHICAGO AT ONE TIME HAD THE BACKING OF THE STATE WHICH GRANTED THEM MONEY FOR YOUTH GROUPS AND HOMES FOR UNDERPRIVELDGED KIDS. DOING WHAT WAS BEST FOR THE GANG AT THAT TIME THEY WISELY INVESTED THEIR MONEY INTO GUNS AND DRUGS LEADING TO A STATUS OF ORAGNIZED CRIME. YOU SHOULD REALLY LEARN ABOUT THE HISTORY OF CHICAGO GANGS BEFORE JUST PUTTING ANYTHING HERE. DO SOME RESEARCH AND SEE WHAT YOU CAN FIND. IN THE MEANTIME I WILL EDUCATE THE REST ON KINGDISM WHICH IS THE LATIN KINGS OWN RELIGON. PROBABLY SOMETHING ELSE YOU DIDNT KNOW, OR THAT THEY HAVE THEIR OWN CONSTITUION. THEY HAVE REGULAR HOLIDAYS KNOWN AS KINGS DAY AND KINGS WEEK BOTH IN JANUARY. THE FIRST WEEK TO BE EXACT. I COULD GO ON AND ON BUT TRY THIS INSTEAD EDUCATE YOURSELF AND IF YOUR STRONG ENOUGH - STEP UP- AND BE A KING LIKE ME!!!!!

I would also like to state that Familia Stones and Latin Kings for a long time where best of friends. Latin Kings helped the Familia stones get established in Albany park.
Now they are at war. Familia stones have more recruits and a bigger area, which is insulting to the kings. Kings are now breaking the 5 point star which is theirs in order to put down Familia stones.
Elswhere in the city Stones and Kings are best of friends.

The city of Chicago has a terrible history of crime. For every positive thing about the city, ten negative things arise because of gangs. I've lived there all of my life, yet fear nothing. I am an hispanic male, meaning that numerous people in the neighborhoods I have lived in were involved in gang activity. I refuse to let idiotic gang members control my life. Previous encounters with several different gang members have proven that they fear the law more than they would dare to break it. They are a burden upon society that try to establish themselves as a family. Little do they realize that if any trouble would come about, the gang would not hesitate to leave them behind. Gangs are filled with cowards who deserve no respect or fear. It is a shame to know that they taint the city of Chicago with their idiocy. I can easily and truthfully say that they are not tough, as their futile attempts to attack me physically have ended with gang members on the ground with broken bones. When my education at university is complete in a few years, I will join the campaign against crime by enforcing the law with the police department (with techniques that are within the parameters of the law, it is not that difficult to out-think these mindless drones). I refuse to let these pitiful scumbags destroy society.

I know about the 4CH's. Their colors are black, gold, red, and white. They are made up of mostly blacks. Their symbols include a Black Diamond, Playboy Bunny w/Bowtie, Tophat, Cane, Dollar sign ($), Dice, Martini glass, 5 point Star.
The Four Corner Hustlers originated on Chicago's Westside in the early 1970s. The organization was founded by King Walter Wheat and Freddy "Malik" Gauge. Shortly after the Four Corner Hustlers emerged, they became allied with the Vice Lords street gang, becoming a faction and adopting Vice Lord symbols and colors. The gang operated as a small group in the Austin neighborhood throughout the mid-to-late 1970s, often fighting area clubs and engaging in petty theft and vandalism. However, a group of Four Corner Hustlers began to operate in the Garfield Park and Austin neighborhoods. Lead by Monroe "Money" Banks. The gang's name is supposed to identify them as being hustlers of four corners of the earth. Four Corner Hustlers are involved in various street crimes from Graffiti, Drug Trafficking, Assault, Armed Robbery, Extortion, Kidnapping, Shooting, Murder, “Renting Out” of drug turf to independent dealers, Prostitution (Pimping), Selling of Illegal Firearms, and the opening of “Front” businesses to Launder Money

gangster disciples and latin counts did not form a relationship in the prisons systems theres been way too many on both sides killed by one another. it also says that the latin counts formed a relationship with the gds due to a dispute with the lords which is not true because there tight cousins with each other.
