    Chicago Gang Members From Different Gangs 1970s

    Making one more post just to show some more vintage Chicago gang flicks. Partially because the last post several people disputed the photo being of actual gang members..thought I'd add this one with better photos showing several different gangs and their style back in the 70s.. note a lot of them were rocking custom gang sweater. This was really big for the time. Really interesting to compare these guys to the gangster style of today

    The gangs pictured are

    1. Latin Kings (Uptown)

    2. Latin Kings uptown

    3. Gaylords (early 80s)

    4. Latin Kings uptown

    5. Gangster two-six

    6. Latin eagles

    7.C-Note$

    1. Spanish Lords

    2. Ridgeway Lords

    3. Arch Dukes

    4. Paulina & Barry Community 13 (PBC-13)

      Latin Kings. NOT EVEN CLOSE.

      Within the last few years one of the big chapters of the LKs in Springfield Mass got busted along with SIXTY of his soldiers. His name?

      Michael Cecchetelli

      Yes, a 40 year old Italian man was a regional “King” of the ALK nation overseeing a set that had hundreds of official members and over a thousand associates. Not only that but he had blood ties to the Genovese crime family so you know set of LKs was getting REAL money. Just as much as the sets plugged in with cartels.

      When you think of LKs, you think of Mexicans, Ricans, DR etc. you definitely don’t think a 40 year old ITALIAN would be running a set overseeing over a thousand members/associates.

      Gang cultures so goofy, everybody’s either getting shot or making shadow puppet hands

      When will “bad boys” stop meaning “cool” and start meaning “violent losers”?

      These are fascinating. Love the cardigans I think they need to bring those back.

      I was thinking the folks in pic 11 looked really high, and sure enough their name is PBC-13 (13th letter is M for marijuana).

      The fact that one of these men are someone’s Grandpa or Dad or Uncle or brother is sad asf

      I’ve nothing to do with American gang culture.
      When I started looking through these pictures I thought it was a bunch of modern kids using somekind of filter on their phones.
      Are these real pictures from the 70’s?

      And every single one of these guys would shit their pants if they had to face any gang from Los Angeles in the 1990s, or any gang from South America, any time.
