hell yeah son go to bridgeport new haven or hartford and COnnecticut was ONE of the first to start latin kings read i said ONE but yeah connecticut got some hoods real talk
Nah, I read somewhere that had some gang membership numbers. And the Kings in NY only had like 8,000, not over 10,000. So nah, they aint as deep as the CHI Kings. If they were in Chicago they wouldnt crack the top 5 in gang membership just like if you one of the biggest LA Crip gangs in Chicago they wouldnt be considered big time. Thats not even possible to come close to the originals, just like a GD set outside of the CHI could never be bigger than the GDz in Chicago, just like a Blackstone set outside of the CHI could never be bigger/stronger than Stones in Chicago, just like a Vice Lord set outside of Chicago can never be bigger/stronger than the ones in Chicago, just like a 4CH set outside of Chicago could never be bigger than the ones in Chicago, just like a Black Disciple set outside Chicago could never be bigger/stronger than the ones in Chicago, just like a Maniac Latin Disciple set outside Chicago can never be bigger than the ones in Chicago. Cuz they are Super "Gangs" in Chicago.
Yea, it was in Narcotics Digest, I was searching up shit bout the Latin Kings outside Chicago and found it. It came out last year. The only thing that they had completely wrong on there is the profile on BPSN in Chicago. Cuz BPSN is over 15,000. They probably didnt factor in all the factions of BPSN. Cuz its wayyyyy deeper than anyone would know who is not from Chicago. There are gruops like Jabari Stones, Titanic Stones and the No Limit Stones and Maniac Stones who be in Terror Town.
"Almighty Latin Kings and Queen Nation was formed in the 1970's by Luis Felipe. The gang shares a common culture and structure with the Chicago-based Latin Kings but does not report to Latin Kings. Membership is estimated to be 2,200 to 7,500, divided among several dozen chapters operating in 15 cities in five states. A primary source of income is the distribution of powdered cocaine, crack cocaine, and marijuana. The gang is also involved in various criminal activities including assualt, auto theft, burglary, and homicide."
What they been by dont report to Latin kings is that they are independent. They what we call renegades in Chicago. These are the guys with egos who wanna do their own thing and not like its supposed to be. Chicago gives blessings to starts a legit branch somewhere else, but the leader of that branch is recieved orders and is monitored by Chicago higher up who can enforce certain things and can remove leaders that is running the branch into the ground. They in Chicago can police branches even though they are miles away from that Chicago. That is what we call an organization.

LATIN KINGS (from same source)
"The Chicago-based Almighty Latin King Nation, commonly referred to as Latin Kings, is a collection of over 160 structured gangs, referred to as chapters, operating in 158 cities in 31 states. The gang's current membership is estimated to be 20,000 to 35,000. Most members are Mexican American or Puerto Rican males. Latin Kings' main source of income is street-level distribution of cocaine, heroin, and marijuana. Gang members primarily obtain drugs from several Mexican DTO's that operate along the US-Mexico border. Members also engage in other criminal activity such as assault, burglary, homicide, identity theft, and money laundering."
The only thing they have wrong is, the Chapters are not gangs in themselves. They are as said, only Chapters. And CHI Kings are predominately Puerto Rican with many Mexicans and other races, but Ricans first. I would guess that the LKz outside of Chicago are more Mexican seeing how Mexicans have larger numbers than Ricans. No city in America outside of Chicago or NY even has 100,000 plus Puerto Ricans. I would say that they are probably the Latino single "gang" in America, 18th Street may be second, but seeing as 18th Street is only reported in 20 states and 44 cities they are drastically smaller than the Latin Kings, even without counting the independent King factions. The Vice Lords are found in over 70 cities and almost 30 states, they factor in as one of America's biggest gangs/group. But the Gangster Disciples have to be the biggest of them all.
