Peep 'My Bloody Life: The Making of a Latin King' by Reymundo Sanchez. Interesting read from the PR roots and the development of Latino Gangs. Author became a high ranking figure in the LK, an honest book which all gangmembers can relate to.

Thanks for recommending the book. I bought both copies and its real good reading. Because I use to work near Humboldt Park and have some friends that use to live there, it was very interesting to read some history about that area. I left my book around the house when I went out, and my girlfriend started reading it and wont give it back

I don't know shyt about NY or the Chi so I aint got nothin to say about all that, but I know a LK that came from Bronx last year (He claimed) called Skinny. He tried to be cool with some Hoovers and he even jumped in a Hoover 107 and APG gang fight but then the Hoovers started gettin ratted on and nobody heard nothing from/about 'Skinny' since then. As for LKs in the South? I aint seen no more... I know its not any bangin in Nashville, I don't think its any in Memphis (Folk is too strong) and my boy claim Two Six Gangsta in Mobile, AL- he said he met 1 LK 2 years ago and he's been smoked. I doubt if LK could ever set up shop in TN, with so many Crips and Folk being cool with each other and Bloods don't like them? They don't got a chance at all in MOST of the South.

Its some Sur13, it was a 'Brown Pride' gang that aligned with Blood and Vice Lord but their little homies are getting smashed all over TN by Crip, GD, and Sur. I heard a few 18th St. are trying to set up shop down here but its just word of mouth. Hispanics really got no control, it was just Folk in control. Blood (APG) controlled Nashville about 6-7 years ago but they aint doin it, its all about Crip and Folk now. AP stays gettin smashed on now, they done got banged on by my set 4 times in a week and a half. And now that Hoover 107s are gettin deeper the APGs are really starting to fade out...

Latin Kings have always been a political group, its always been about PR pride standing up for a free Puerto Rico, Latin Kings have always been freedom fighters.

lol.All LKs do is hustle and gang bang.You call standing on a street and beating down anyone who has his hat tilted to the right being a ''freedom fighter''?I have never heard about them doing anything political,like the GDs,CVLs,or BPS.

seen this video at sociology class, teacher was talking about how king tone acts more like a preacher rather than a violent leader. Tone wants to change things around by creating peace but afraid he might get shot or killed for being soft.

King tone is only honored in NYC.Most of the LKs in the USA go by the chicago literature and structure.

King Tone aint only honored in NYC from what I saw in some shit on TV he was having nationwide meetings with kings from all over America. He honored and in affiliation with a large portion of the LK community if not all of it.
