You have crips, bloods and Surenos in Chicago and you don't have any Chicago gangs that have actual hoods in LA. F~CHICAGO BTW
There are no "crips, bloods, and Surenos" in Chicago, who told you that? Smack them because they lied to you. If you are going to speak about Chicago at least know what you are talking before you spread lies. The 13s that are in Illinois are fake and are in the suburbs (mostly in Du-page County) and they get whoop/treated (fact). Da 13s here either drop that **** and go as neutrons or they flip (fact). They must have watched too much American Me and Blood in Blood out. Basically they are confused because they claim LA **** but want to act like they in a Chicago gang (fact). And in case you didn't know, there is a Chicago gang (BPS) currently in LA and has been in LA for a very long time (fact). You heard of "Da Jungle," right? Of course you have since you claim to be a "long beach crab killa" ha ha

I didn't read all the posts but the ones that I did read, I would say about 99.9% of the things that were said about Chicago was not truthful. I cannot stress this enough that if you are going to talk about something at least know what you are talking about before you speak or don't speak and if you do make sure they are facts. Don't just guess and assume something especially don't come one here saying, "Well I heard from so and so." Be truthful when you talk about something, don't be fake and lie about something you know nothing about. It just makes you look fake, a person who can't keep it real and should not be taken seriously. If you don't know something or not quite sure about something then just don't say anything and keep it moving, it's that simple.

Chicago Is The Bloodiest City In U.S ..L.A Has Way more Gangs While Chicago Has 6 Gangs Doing All The Killings In The City Plus All Chicago Gangs Were Made In Chicago ..Some Gangs in L.A Migrated . The gangs Mainly Controlling Chicago Are -black Stones,Mcs -Gangster Disciples -Black Disciples - Vice Lords,4ch -Latin Kings -&Satan Disciples ...The Reason No Bloods Or Crips n chicago is because They was Influenced by 2 chicago Gangs . Crips culture came from Gangster Disciples and Blood Cultures Come from Black P Stones .. Google Jeff Fort & Larry Hoover The Too Most Powerful Black Gang Leaders In America

As far as if chicago or Los angeles has more gangs/ gang members, it's Chicago. I'm orginally from Michigan so maybe since Chicago use to be our "neighbor" I heard about it more. But let me tell you about Chicago. The murders in Chicago is crazy. There are 10 year olds in gangs in Chicago. Chicago has some very very dangerous areas that you do not want to be in after dark ...or really day.

Yes both cities have gangs but I believe it's more prevalent in Chicago. The gang activity in Chicago is huge. I have a friend who lives in Chicago who lives in a bad area and they say it's crazy and they are scared being shot after dark. Standing on the wrong street you could get shot.

The gangs in Chicago are the most violent gangs in America. South Chicago gangs, dear lord have mercy on you. Your more likely to get shot than anything else. I was watching the news and the news reporter was talking to some dudes and they were "they shooting watch out".

Did you know that in 2012, Illinois had the 7th lowest rate of white murder victims

In Chicago according to Wikipedia....76% Of victims 77.4% of offenders were African American, 18.3% were Hispanic (17.3% of offenders), and 5.6% were white (5.3% of offenders).

The black murder victimization rate was approximately 34 per 100,000; the Hispanic rate was 11 per 100,000, and the white rate 3 per 100,000
  • Victims of gang-related murders: 70% Black, 26% Hispanic, 3% White; 93% male. Offenders in gang-related murders: 76% African American, 20% Hispanic, 3% white; 99% male.
  • Victims of domestic-related murders: 79% African American, 10% Hispanic, 11% white.
  • Victims of armed robbery—related murders: 68% African American, 13% Hispanic, 19% white, 89% male. Offenders in armed robbery—related murders: 87% African American, 9% Hispanic, 4% white; 93% male.
I think it is not hard to note..... If White in Chicago. You are MUCH SAFER then just overall statistics. Also if you live on the North side vs. the higher crime neighborhoods of the Southside.

These were 2005 stats. But the ethnic %'s are probably the same.

And even Pittsburgh is more murderous than Chicago.

Chicago murder rate: 15.1 murders per 100,000.
Pittsburgh murder rate: 22.4 murders per 100,000.

Chicago had 931 murders in 1994. Considerably higher. Though today's rate gets no boasting.

And the murder rate has actually been dropping in Chicago. Chicago was much more violent between the 1970s-1990s.

Chicago has 2.7 million people. Average murder rate is around 16 murders per 100,000. Baghdad has a murder rate around 34 murders per 100,000.

Murder rates are up 40-70% this year in many major cities.

Summer of bloodshed as US murder rates rise

Even Houston and Dallas saw Double-Digit increases in crimes.

^ well I think everyone knows that the nort side and central areas of the city are quite safe and the homicide rate for whites (and asians) overall is very very low, something like 2 per 100,0000 - but that doesn't discount the fact that the 1/3 of the people living in the high crime areas of the city don't have it really bad.
