Not to be proud, but before the “Crips and Bloods” and all of these other “sets” across America, the first organized street gangs (based off of the framework set in place by Cosa Nostra in Italy and the Five Families of New York) was in Chicago. Almighty Black P. Stone Nation/El-Rukn (1959), Latin Kings (1954), Gangster Disciples (1964), Black Disciples (1958), Vice Lords (1958), Four Corner Hustlers (1968). True, there were street gangs all over the country, but none more organized than ours. What began with Capone and the Chicago Outfit syndicate in 1910 took to the streets of Chicago and took on a life—and death—of its own. (Scoop Jackson)
