I knew someone who I went to school with who was an active Latin king. I last saw him when we graduated and the last thing he said to me was “you’re gonna see me on tv one day, stay safe bro I’ll see you” 5 weeks later he was shot in the face and died by a rival gang. Sure enough it was on the morning news. It’s sad, he left behind his girlfriend and his 1 year old boy. It’s very unfortunate he didn’t stop even after having a child, we all just want to live peacefully day by day.

My dad is a (nearly retired) Chicago cop and he said there were guys throwing gang signs during the Mexican independence parade. He told them “you can do whatever you want, just no gang signs” and they respected him. Nowadays, there’s too much animosity and morals have left the street scene so that would never fly.

If you are not a paying customer you get interrogated or beat until you leave or dropped off to the local gang and tell them they robbed they fam the elotero man. Have a rammer drag u up n down 55.

Growing up in California, gang life culture is everywhere and it’s so easy to get wrapped up in it as a child and many of my close friends were involved in that lifestyle and I can 100% say I only didn’t completely go down that path because my parents were around and they were a little strict, they needed to know where I was at and who I was with, if I was staying the night somewhere, they needed to know or meet their parents so I can without a doubt say having parents especially a father in the household is so important. I also was encouraged and loved playing sports so that also helped.

Ever since devil in a white city, larry hoover 60s and up till now. Currently there's a serial killer loose in south side Chicago and nwi but they dont want to talk about it. Everyday theres bodies. The lake the river abandoned house in a car in a river. Some might not be found till after spring. So it makes murder very easy and harder to solve. Nobody talks

Tommy, thanks for putting yourself out there to bring us this content. Watching this video brought back some not so happy memories. I grew up in the same neighborhood as the young men in the video, many times dodging bullets on the way to school and/or the walk back home. Education was the way out of that place for me and now I would say I live a privileged lifestyle in the western burbs of Chicago. I think what most people don’t understand is that sometimes you truly don’t have a choice and to survive you have to associate with “clicks”. So much I would love to say, but the internet is likely not the best forum. Thanks again.

I was downtown for Riot Fest on Mexican independence day. The traffic was beyond insane, but the amount of people out celebrating their heritage was even crazier. 99% of it was people just playing music, singing, dancing, fireworks, and a general good time. There was hardly any major violence outside the gang centers, it looked incredible to be a part of. Tommy G you gotta go back to Chicago during Puerto Rican celebrations they apparently (according to my friends in the city) go absolutely nuts. I was told they regularly shoot off fireworks from inside their cars, and don't stop partying for like two weeks straight.

As a native Chicagoan, somewhat older at 33 and grew up in north Lawndale “holy city” and south Lawndale “little village” this shit is spot on, the part about not kings not being racist and true and false, it depends on the situation and what’s going on. I went to Farragut high school in little village and was cool AF with a few Latin Kings and I’m black‼️ I’ve been on 26th shopping hella times and never had a problem, if you obviously not banging and bringing trouble, you come though on 26th and it’s all love💯

But as far as getting robbed, you don’t run a business on the side of the street in a “hood” “favela” “barrio” and expect not to be robbed at some point. Regardless of what “race” the gangster is. They run from their country to escape violence and poverty just to come to another dangerous country with violence and poverty. The violence is just less extreme in most states here as it can get in central and South America. But being racist towards your other people because of a language/culture barrier won’t help.

He said your best friends will eventually turn on you. Youngsters stay the hell out of that life.

The Latin Kings were founded in the Humboldt Park area of Chicago in 1954 by Ramon Santos as the Imperials, a Puerto Rican progress movement with the goal of overcoming racial discrimination. With the Latino community facing constant violence from Greek and Italian greaser gangs, the Imperials merged with various other Puerto Rican and Mexican street gangs to form the Latin Kings. They would later devolve, because Mexicans turned it into a criminal enterprise operating throughout the United States.

True. But on the eastcoast, the Latin Kings are still majority Puerto Rican. It was a Cuban, King Blood, that bought LKs to NYC in the late 1980s-early 90s, NY LKs we're strong up until the early 2010s, King Tone slowly killed the gang in NY. But go to areas like Cleveland, Buffalo, Rochester, parts of Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Florida, you'll still see Puerto Rican Latin Kings.... Not only is most Chicago LKs mexican, but Chicago along with NYC is losing large numbers of Puerto Ricans

At the end of the day, everyone makes their own choice, life is full of other ways to make it out the system that is entrapping them.

Chicago is so segregated it’s insane. I grew up some minutes from little village and for most of my young life all the people in my life were Mexican (teachers,friends,role models) and as I’ve grown up and met people outside of the city, they’re always shocked to know there’s so many Mexicans in Chicago lol

Southwest Side is basically one big Mexican city on its own. From Back of the Yards to Little Village and West Lawn. You can throw in Cicero and Berwyn. This is bigger than big cities like DC, San Francisco, Baltimore, etc but filled with nothing but Mexicans!

I'm from Southern California. My good friend who is Mexican was born in Chicago around that area. He spent some of teenage life there and the rest here. What he told me the difference with Mexican gangters between the 2 places is that out here in Southern California they bang longer until they' re old. I find this true because I use to work with ex convict's who are Mexican in their 40s to 50s still effing around. But both places are crazy in thier own ways. Also he said here in SoCal Mexican gang banging is so traditional that if one is sent to prison its like graduating with a degree. Almost celebrated. Very interesting to see how Mexicans in Chicago live.

18:24 dude is an anime fan which is wild to see on a latin king. his hand tattoo is literally the brand of sacrifice for the godhand in berserk if you're marked by it, demons and all others that were sacrificed before to create a new angel of the godhand kill everyone you love for the series shown on netflix, Griffith was the leader of the Band of the Hawk wore the egg of the king (which set him down a path of pain and misery) but made him practically invincible. just the sight of it made nosferatu zodd flee and once he was caught by the midland guards leaving the princess's chambers they arrested them the next day after being knighted the night prior set up his whole squad who essentially won ALL the WARS they fought in order to gain peace in the areas. he betrays them all to become something new since the dungeon torturer stripped him of all his tendons and ligaments, tongue, whipped his entire body and he withered away for 1-2 years until he was a skeleton with skin its a damn good anime. think medieval with extreme gore and fantasy sprinkled in RANDOMLY when you least expect it...

You're courageous af for going to that hood Tommy G, most people steer away from Little Village some ppl call it "lil mexico" which I was born in, but yea the community could most definitely be beautiful if there wasn't any gang violence, the skatepark is so chill during the day and the area around it and ppl around the are are just old hard working Mexican ppl but these gang bangers make it impossible which is sad, if they really wanted to help their parents/family to be "straight" then they should get to work, the majority of these guys aren't making any type of money, they act as if they do but they really don't make shit, but thanks for coming to the hood tommy, I hope these guys really hear you out and get the message but I'm afraid that won't happen, maybe in the future 🙏🏽

It’s getting better tho. It’s the under 20 kids that are wildin. Sadly, most of them don’t have parents. Which questions how are they able to afford property at La Villita. Which is pretty expensive place to live in. But overall, it’s better. The north side has cleaned up so much too.
