San Antonio Takeover: The Bloody History of the Texas Mexican Mafia

[@KillerChronicles]

Here's a two-minute breakdown of the three murders referenced at the end: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joPIhKejj8-SfqM

[@edsonlara9198]

I'm from San Antonio and remember when this happened. Great job covering this story. One question why was the FBI watching him?

[@ninajefferson4018]

The Mexican Gang Constitution : "...simply to advance benefits for our family." That's just simply not the facts. They do gang life (and gang life is point blank being a killer right?) to entertain themselves and make a quick buck.

I grew up in the 90’s when gang life was glorified and romanticized by movies and music. I ended up getting involved in things I had no business doing coming from a financial secure environment. I lost friends and almost lost myself as well. I look back now at the stupidity of it all and how all these men destroyed their lives over a lack of imagining something better. I’m glad that kids now see it for what it is, a death sentence.

[@alexia6130]

I'm glad you changed for the better.but i really wish kids thought of it differently at the highschool I go to and many other schools too kids are always acting like their gangsters and thinking they look cool throwing up fake gang signs when in reality almost all of them would be dead if they were in a real gang . Almost my entire family has been affiliated with cartels in mexico and quite a few of them you see them and they live a miserable life I have family members that have disappeared.these kids are too blind too see what it really is they do things to try and be popular and for a trend

Ignorance of those around these released animals know no better or 'don't care' - it's reposit of Systemic Oppression (through Poverty) as well. This is sadly how HollowWood Glorified Mexican-Latin Culture, like you said, in the 90s, because there are only some manners to which they feel you 'best portrayed'

This is how a true crime doc should be made, I love it :) thanks for great videos

[@73delgado]

I agree completely in fact I keep coming back to watch this video time and time again because its so good but also because I just cant wrap my head around how stupid of and individual Julian was. Like I understand that he involved himself with being a police officer, selling drugs, the Mexican mafia and his tattoo shop because he was greedy and wanted to make a lot of money by dipping into illegal activities but it was such an obvious inherently extreme risk to himself. Like the criminal aspect of this case is really compelling but Julian's stupidity is just dumbfounding. Like how could you think that this situation would end in anything other than prison or being dead.

Judge did not send a message for refusing to punish the killers for killing a crooked cop…. Pessina was not on duty and not acting in the capacities of an officer at the time of his death. So it’s not that he refused to punish the killer of a cop or crooked cop, it’s that he could not punish the killer of a cop. The cop was not acting as a cop at the time because he was off duty. If the judge had decided to punish with the maximum amount for killing a police officer, they would have been thrown out in appellate court.

From the 90s to early 2000s the " Eme" ( Mexican Mafia) ruled the Texas prison systems. Thier arch enemy was TS ( Texas syndicate) and there would be killings weekly in there. They warred for over a decade until the early 2000s the Tango Blast was formed ( Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, and Austin) which was created for Mexicans and Tejanos who didn't want to join a " family" The Tangos were huge and eventually ran out all the TS from every Texas unit. It was a wild time....

This is extremely common to have people or family become law enforcement to infiltrate a department to have “ an inside man “ to influence the outcome of that gangs crimes etc .. every gang / organized crime syndicate does this all over the world .

The mafia is just like how they are portrayed in the movies. They will kill each other for power, silence witnesses, or simply because they believe you are a snitch. Great video. Netflix definitely needs to make a docu series on this guy.

Yeah, San Antonio is a strange city. For a top 15 city in the US, we only have one major sports team (Spurs). Not a lot of high buildings and has HUGE land area. It's a very welcoming city BUT there is a criminal underworld that you simply just do not mess with. I grew up middle class there but there were certain areas and streets I was told to never go beyond, which is understandable.

Good job, got a sub, like, and comment. :) I took some television production classes in college along with film analysis. This is very good and people would be amazed at how much work this takes. Also, welcome to America. Every major city has a story or two like this. Made me think of a recent central California killing of a whole family.. babies and all..

[@traceybasic4788]

Another threat

[@ninahuron1229]

Yeah I saw that. That was crazy. Regardless of who these MM guys are here in San Antonio, TX, they don't, and hardly ever go after kids. Kids are a no-no from what I heard. They accidentally hit a kid, and I heard THEY get a greenlight. It's what I heard, not know, so don't come for me. A lot of these guys leave you alone if you leave them alone. Just mind your business, and all will be good. They're old school cats so it's all about respect. Not defending them, just saying.

[@Iceman-bu1eg]

The solutions to gangs is so simple. You go to prison and never leave your cell. No exercise and no outside communications. End of problem.

I installed the video cameras at the Balcones Heights police station. When it was built. I remember this case well. I was in San Antonio for 30+ years. Now I'm retired 40 miles west of town. I don't miss it anymore...

[@davidbutler4113]

Dealt with the Mexican Mafia and other gangs when I worked as a CO at Leavenworth in the 80s. They were allied with the Aryan Brotherhood and the prison had a “peace treaty” with the DC Blacks and Black Muslim groups. At that time the “rackets” were divided by race, and disputes settled by a committee of the various factions. Don’t know how it is now, other than federal prisons have become much more violent and dangerous today, than they were in that earlier era.

[@rolandomontana1389]

The mafia is dismantling lossing power, just as other big organizations, I dont even think the syndicate exist anymore, I migh be wrong...but for the federal prisons, the Paisas 16 are running things now.
