I think it's wonderful and needed. They're keeping their neighborhood safe and doing the job weak Americans won't allow the police to do anymore.
The Kings, and any other group that protects its neighborhood, are true American heroes and should be celebrated. What they are doing is a community service.
I did take note that the savage animal thug looters fear the Kings and ran away like the cowards they are.
It's beautiful and I hope it happens more.
the latin kings are in no way heroes they are thugs and criminals themselves. What they are doing is protecting where they themselves live and their customers. They are a criminal organization defending their turf against other criminals, its simple self interest.
In general I am not a fan of gangs this however I can respect. The Latin Kings are a large and powerful criminal gang in Chicago they have sent out an SOS that if anyone comes into their hoods trying to loot businesses or burn down buildings they will not only attack them but also then they will also turn them into authorities after they have finished beating them. This is a serious threat because the Latin Kings are one of the largest, most powerful gangs in the city. They are highly organized, have a violent reputation and have controlled large territories with an iron fist for decades and they ironically have a history with not co operating with authorities.
It sounds like the Latin Kings are similar to a sovereign (authoritarian) government.

If cities are abolishing police, then I foresee a revival in the protection rackets. And that's not far-fetched, if anyone had predicted a year ago the events of the last two weeks they'd be placed in the rubber room.
So...the Latin Kings or have my business looted that insurance won't cover....hmmmm....such a tuff decision.

Here's a better idea. Go to your representative or your senator and tell them "either you get these crime issues under control, or we're going to vote you out of office next election".

And how do you get these crime issues under control without the soon to be defunded police forces?

The Latin Kings are also using this situation to terrorize people who live there. In Cicero, some gang members have gone after Black people, who happen to live in Cicero. Even worse, the Cicero PD are in denial. https://chicago.suntimes.com/2020/6/...floyd-protests
