12th St. Players of Cicero, IL and Simon City Royals. I think both of these gangs have Mexican members though. The majority of Chicago white non hispanic gang members are in Mexican gangs or are in factions that have a diverse membership.

The last news report relating to 12th St. was in 2008 when a high ranking member was arrested in Berwyn

I think "Duces" is another active White gang.

Ironically most of the "white thugs" are in the suburbs...

The Simon City Royals? Seriously, there's about, what, 10 of 'em left? Man, they sure are a tough lot holding it down up there in that war zone that is Mayfair.

When you have to go back to 2008 to find news of "serious, violent white gangs" then they're just not that serious.

Yes, because the Latin Kings and Latin Counts are not that serious. Like Chicagolond said, a lot of those guys are actually white..

Very few of them are, certainly not enough of them that the Kings/Counts are "white" gangs.

Most white thugs in America are described as being a part of 'rings' rather than 'gangs' which is simply a slight organizational distinction with membership in 'rings' being more fluid and lacking social identifiers such as a public name for the ring (i.e. a gang name) or signs.

Some of the scariest people in my city are not in identified gangs but are a part of a criminal scene involved in burglary, drug manufacture, and auto theft. They are often young, White, and definitely not people you want to mess with any more than a registered gang member.

In california we have tons of white gangs.

In california we have an equivalent to this tho, they are called bros.
Tweak bros, thug bros, cholo bros, dirt (offroading) bros, surf rat bros, ufc bros, etc.

Generally speaking the tweak, pot, drugs, alchohol laced energy drinks, and general shady behaviour such as stealing copper wire and car break ins leads bros to fight....other bros.

These fights typically take place at a house party, hotel, chevron/big lots parking lot.

Notice the baggy cloths, flat billed hats, tatoos, and monster energy drink t shirts

So wait, where was the fight? All I saw was some a-hole throwing a couple sucker-punches and one of his friends throwing another one. And then a bunch of people standing around going "duh..." If this is indicative of a so-called "serious, violent white gang" problem, then it doesn't seem any more serious in California than it does here.

Who said anything about a" serious violent white gang problem", can you read? I was noting that bro's are the closest thing california has chavs. And you don't have bro's in Chicago, so you wouldn't really know, much about said culture now would you?
