Yep, that is the story of much of America, paradise lost. From a melting pot, into a chamber pot.

The Chicago area has plenty of home grown gangs.. Why are there no Gangster Disciples in California? They're all over the Midwest.

I wonder who these Bloods are allying with? Chicago and it's burbs already have their own longtime gangs(Vice Lords,Disciples,Mickey Cobras,Latin Kings etc). Those Bloods just can't set up shop just anywhere.

Apparently they did in Maywood.. Hard to believe. That town has enough problems with gangs.

How do you figure? Because we have our own gangs separate from a city that's a plane ride away? Chicago has even more gang members per capita than LA.

Maybe California is behind because there's STILL no Latin Kings and Latin Counts out there..

There is a L.A Blood set that has roots in Chicago. They are the Black P Stone Bloods. I think they were originally started by a guy name T. Rodgers who was from Chicago.

Like the Black P Stone Nation? Except they're also Bloods apparently?

The Bloods and Crips from California may have gotten more exposure from Hollywood, California but this doesn't gang rivalries in Chicago aren't just as ruthless. And maybe California is behind because they needed a Blood to bring BPS to their side of the county.

Let's not be idiots here. The coasts might dominate fashion and entertainment but they don't dominate organized crime.. In no way, shape or form is Chicago "behind" California as far as people getting senselessly shot down in the street over drugs and cash is concerned.

No need to be snarky. I was simply making an observation.

The article specifically said the Bloods in Maywood were from California.
