Insane Spanish Cobras
13:34The Insane Spanish Cobras started in the late 1940s or early 1950s, more than likely the early 1950s like 1952 or 1953 because that was the year that Puerto Rican immigration began on the North side of Chicago. Back in the 50s they were known as the Crazy Snakes. In the year 1960 a group of government workers known as Gang Outreach Workers were working with the Spanish Cobras. Gang Outreach Workers went around Chicago getting to know the gangs and working with them to attempt to help them fight poverty and steer the gangs in positive directions. In 1960 there is documentation of these workers working with the Spanish Cobras of the north side of Chicago. The Cobras are said to have been founded by King Cobra. Who was the Spanish Cobra leader for a long time. Throughout the 1960s the Spanish Cobras feuded heavily with the Latin kings and other white and Puerto Rican gangs. In the late 1960s (probably 1969) the Spanish Cobras united with some other north side gangs. They united with the Imperial Gangsters, Latin Eagles, and the Latin Disciples, to form ULO (United Latino Organization). Also the YLO was formed as well which included and still includes the YLO Disciples (YLODs) and the YLO Cobras (YLOCs). In 1978 King Cobra guided the Spanish Cobras into the FOLK nation because all of ULO voted to join Folks. In the year 1979, the Latin Kings told the Insane Unknowns to kill King Cobra, so the IUKs killed King Cobra in 1979. By the early 80s the Cobras had expanded around the north side quite significantly, they were located around: Augusta to North Ave/ California Ave to western; Lemoyne and Springfield; Maplewood and Division, and Artesian and Potomac and others. They attended Von Humboldt Grade school and Clemente H.S.
There was a group of Cobras that formed in the early 80s or possibly the 1970s known as the Spanish Cobra Disciples or (Mid town Cobras or West Town). They were located from Ridgeway to Grand/ Pulaski to Wabansia, and on Division ST. These Cobras attended Noble Grade School, Cameron Grade School, Orr H.S., Shurz H.S., and Clemente H.S. They used the pitchfork in their symbols and also wore the also flew the colors of black and blue along with black and green. The Spanish Cobras soon expanded their territory beyond their original hoods in Humboldt Park where they started. They set up shop in Logan Square, Bucktown, Wicker Park, Albany Park, and into Kelvyn Park. The Cobras fought vicious wars with the Latin Kings and the Insane Unknowns in the 1970s and the 1980s. In the late 80s the Cobras began to expand into Koz Park which would cause a war between them and the Simon City Royals a few years later. In the year 1992 the Spanish Cobras created the Insane Familia that was the unity of a group of Folk Nation gangs from the north side that consisted of: Orchestra Albanies, Ashland Vikings, Insane Dragons, Insane Dueces, Harrison Gents, and in 1995 the C-Notes, and for a short time later in the 1990s the Latin Lovers and the Latin Jivers.
The Insane was then added to their prefix to represent that they joined the familia. The Insane was not created in 1992; the Spanish Cobras have been using Insane since the early 80s and quite possibly as far back as the 1970s. The Insane Familia separated them from the Maniac Family led by the Maniac Latin Disciples. The MLDs and Cobras were growing into power at a tremendous rate and both gangs wanted to control the drug trade on the north side; therefore, in the early 90s (once interalliance fighting became very acceptable) the two gangs went to bloody war. The Cobras now are enemies with Maniacs and even Almighty gangs like Imperial Gangsters, Simon City Royals, Latin Eagles, and Harrison Gents (left the Insanes long ago). Tuffy C took over as chief after King Cobras murder in 1979, but now it is said that the Cobras are ran by Crazy C. The Cobras are now very large in number and have sets in the suburbs and even other states.

Chicago Outfit Gangster Paul Shiro Sentenced
11:30
A federal judge in Chicago today sentenced 71-year-old jewel thief Paul "the Indian" Schiro to twenty years in prison following his September 2007 racketeering conviction in the so-called Operation Family Secrets trial, and in imposing the sentence the judge concluded that Schiro was responsible for the 1986 murder of his friend Emil Vaci:A jury had found Schiro guilty of racketeering but couldn't reach a verdict on Vaci's killing. But U.S. District Court Judge James Zagel found that the prosecution had proven by a preponderance of evidence that Schiro had helped kill Vaci. And the judge took that into account in sentencing Schiro, as the law allows. * * * Schiro, a career criminal and close friend to infamous Chicago mobster Tony Spilotro, was essentially on call to do the mob's bidding, Zagel noted. When the Outfit asked him to help kill his friend, Zagel noted, there was "no evidence of hesitation." Vaci was killed in Phoenix outside the restaurant where he worked because the Chicago mob feared he was cooperating with a federal criminal investigation into the disappearance of a man who had helped the Outfit skim millions of dollars but then ripped off the mob. Schiro did not pull the trigger on his friend but was in a nearby car, acting as a lookout and listening to a police scanner, according to court testimony. Mob killer-turned-government witness Nick Calabrese testified at trial that Schiro took part in the planning of Vaci's killing. Calabrese said he and an accomplice pulled Vaci into a van, then Calabrese shot Vaci several times in the head and dumped his body in a canal.Schiro is the first defendant from the Operation Family Secrets trial to face sentencing: "Prolific mob killer Frank Calabrese Sr. is to be sentenced Wednesday, while mob bosses James Marcello and Joseph 'Joey the Clown' Lombardo are to be sentenced next week."This marks the second major mob conviction against Schiro: "He was convicted in 2001 for his role in the mob-connected jewelry theft ring headed by William Hanhardt, a former Chicago police chief of detectives, and sentenced to 5 1/2 years in prison."

16:37
vigilante groups are threatening Mexico's drug gangs near the U.S. border in retaliation for a wave of murders and kidnappings that killed 1,600 people in this city alone last year.
One group in the border city of Ciudad Juarez pledged last week to "clean our city of these criminals" and said their mission was to "end the life of a criminal every 24 hours.death in a jail of Guatemala GRAPHIC"The emergence of vigilantes would be a new twist to a vicious drug war that killed 5,700 people in Mexico last year and forced the United States to give hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to the Mexican government.
Ciudad Juarez, a manufacturing center in the desert across from El Paso, Texas, was the scene of the worst violence in 2008 as drug cartels fought each other as well as staging kidnappings for ransom and extorting businessmen.In an e-mail to news organizations, the "Juarez Citizen Command" said it was funded by local businessmen sick of abductions and extortion in the city, home to factories that export goods to the United States.While none of the city's 1,600 in the last year were undoubtedly the work of vigilantes, a body was found on Jan. 7 with a message next to it that read: "This is for those who continue extorting."And six men in their 20s and 30s were shot dead and dumped together in Ciudad Juarez in October with a cardboard sign reading: "Message for all the rats: This will continue."Drug gangs often leave threatening messages with the bodies of their victims, but security officials said those two incidents might have been the work of vigilantes.Another group, "Businessmen United, The Death Squad" put a video on Internet site YouTube last June threatening to go after kidnappers and criminals in Ciudad Juarez, the biggest city in Mexico's Chihuahua state. The video is no longer on YouTube.State officials in Chihuahua said they were investigating who was behind the messages.
"We cannot tolerate the presence of these type of faceless, anonymous groups," said Manuel del Castillo, a spokesman for the state government.Retiring CIA chief Michael Hayden said last week that Mexico's drug violence was possibly a greater problem than Iraq for President-elect Barack Obama. The U.S. Justice Department also says Mexican gangs are one of the biggest threats to the United States.Mexican President Felipe Calderon has sent tens of thousands of troops and federal police to battle drug gangs but the violence has become worse since he took office in 2006.At least two other groups calling themselves vigilantes have sent statements to news organizations in the past two months, one in the northern state of Sonora bordering Arizona, and the other in the Pacific state of Guerrero, home to the beach resort of Acapulco.In Ciudad Juarez, some residents say they would welcome vigilantes. "That way they would stop the gangs, the mafia. People are leaving here because of so many murders," said David Hinojosa, 30, who shines shoes in the city.The city has been rocked by gun battles and beheadings by rival gangs fighting over smuggling routes into Texas, despite the presence of around 3,000 troops and federal police.But local lawmakers say encouraging vigilantes is a mistake. Some residents question whether soldiers are moonlighting as hitmen for drug gangs, a charge the army denies.

Gang-tied crimes net hefty sentences
Judge hands down prison terms in Charlotte drug ring for 6 men accused of being Hidden Valley Kings.Suspected members of Charlotte's most notorious home-grown gang were sent to prison Tuesday for a sophisticated drug operation that for years terrorized the Hidden Valley neighborhood.Six men identified by federal authorities as members of the Hidden Valley Kings along with one of the gang's alleged drug suppliers were sentenced to between 10 and 25 years in prison.“This gang turned a nice neighborhood into a shooting gallery,” said U.S. District Judge Frank Whitney, admonishing the gang's reputed leader. “Your organization was responsible for at least three murders, maybe more. Those murders are just horrendous.”Roscoe Abell, 30, the alleged leader, was the first of 18 people scheduled to be sentenced this week. He got 20 years in prison.His alleged Lieutenant, 25-year- old Emmanuel Keller, got 24 years.With nicknames like “Sweets,” “Beat-A-Man” and “The Rock,” the alleged gang members pleaded guilty to conspiring to sell crack, cocaine, ecstasy and marijuana.Prosecutors portrayed the Kings as a well-organized gang that controlled the streets of the northeast Charlotte neighborhood, extorting money, selling drugs and threatening to kill any associates that snitched on them.They sought to control all drug dealing in Hidden Valley and surrounding areas, dividing turf into zones and requiring dealers to pay “block taxes” to sell there, according to court documents.Authorities broke up the Kings last year, indicting 20 gang members or associates, in what had been Charlotte's largest crackdown on gang crime since agents busted the Outlaw motorcycle gang in the 1980s. This summer, authorities nabbed 26 members of MS-13, a violent gang with roots in El Salvador.Organized in the early 1990s, the Kings are not affiliated with any national gang, and police have documented more than 125 members.
“This gang had a stranglehold on the good people in that neighborhood,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin Zolot told the judge Tuesday.Hidden Valley is a subdivision of about 12,000 people with modest ranch homes on streets with storybook names: Snow White Lane, Cinderella Road, Friendly Place.It began as a middle-class neighborhood in the 1960s and became one of Charlotte's first integrated neighborhoods in the 1970s. But over the years, as some residents moved out and many homes became rentals, the community has struggled with crime.Judge Whitney called the Kings “a group of local terrorists.”He noted that the leader, Abell, had a bullet proof vest. “That's a stunning piece of evidence about the sophistication of this gang,” the judge said.The gang also has been linked to fights, car thefts, break-ins and murders, including a high-profile killing in 2005 that began as a fight at Eastland Mall and ended in a rolling shootout along North Tryon Street.
On Tuesday, the streets of Hidden Valley were quiet as people came home from work, and some homes were draped with Christmas lights.Longtime resident William Mustafa said he's glad things are better but wishes Charlotte had stepped in before these young men took up gang life.“More could have been done or should have been done to give these young men some outlets instead of spending all that money to put them in jail,” said Mustafa, chairman of the Hidden Valley neighborhood association.
Not everyone sentenced Tuesday was a gang member. Danielle Jermaine Jackson, accused of selling drugs to the gang, got the harshest sentence: 25 years and 10 months.
“I want to apologize to the court and my family for the things I've done in the past and the choices I made,” Jackson, 26, told the judge.His attorney, Lyle Yurko, praised the government for bringing down the Hidden Valley Kings, saying: “Violent street gangs in America are a form of terrorism.”
On Tuesday, friends and family turned out for the sentencings, as the defendants were individually paraded into court.As Abell was led from the courtroom, he smiled and waved goodbye to his mother, Dot Abell, and two sisters.“It hurts,” said Dot Abell, who teared up outside the courthouse. “I won't be able to see him for 20 years. I won't be able to talk to him.”Mary Chisholm, Keller's grandmother, didn't think her grandson deserved so much prison time.“They're taking away his whole life,” she said. “That's too harsh. That's not justice.”Two others sentenced Tuesday received 20 years: Lorenzo “Big Zo” Johnson, 26, and Chavius “The Rock” Barber, 25.
Alonzo “Lil' Zo” Johnson, 24, got 13 years.And Jermer “Beat-A-Man” Lowery, 28, was sentenced to 10 years.“It doesn't pay to be a gang member. It doesn't pay to be a drug dealer,” prosecutor Zolot said during a court break Tuesday. “Eventually, authorities will root out the gang members in our community.”

"I will stand by my brother
My brother will come before all others
My life is forfeited should I fail my brother
I will honor my brother in peace and war"
They also live by the motto, "in for life and out by death"
Aryan Brotherhood of Texas has reportedly been operating in Texas since the 1970s. Specific and significant reportings include:
San Quentin State Prison
California State Prison at Corcoran
Pelican Bay State Prison
USP Marion
Folsom State Prison
California Institution for Men in Chino
the Harris County Jail in Harris County
the new supermax Estelle High-Security Unit in Hunstville.
Garner Correctional Institution, Connecticut
Lompoc, Calif., Federal Prison
High Desert State Prison, Nevada
Central Mississippi Correctional facility in Pearl, Miss.
The Aryan Brotherhood also operate in other states, such as the Arizona AB and the California AB, which are apparently hostile towards each other.
The Aryan Brotherhood are concerned with White-Supremacy and self-protection from Black and Hispanic gangs. The recent conviction of 4 Aryan Brotherhood members in Santa Ana, California, one of the largest death penalty cases in U.S. history, revealed an allegedly "ruthless" gang who regularly murdered those who opposed the system, growing so out of control that even its own ranking members could not consider themselves safe. Two of the gang members convicted in July's trial, both deemed eligible for the death penalty, had allegedly ordered a 1997 race war at a prison in Lewisburg, Pa. that killed two black inmates. The same two, in addition to another accomplice, murdered inmate Arva Lee Ray at the Lompoc, California, penitentiary in 1989. The trials also revealed that members were inspired by Nietzsche, Machiavelli, and Sun Tzu's "The Art of War." In 2006, alleged righleader Barry "The Baron" Mills was put to trial for the murder of two black gang membres, along with 3 other alleged leaders, including Tyler Davis "The Hulk" Bingham, Edgar "The Snail" Hevle, and Christopher Overton Gibson, all of whom are already serving time in prison. Mills orchestrated a successful contract murder against two black inmates in a Pennsylvania prison in 1979. Mills also planned a murder against Walter Johnson, an inmate who allegedly punched mafia don John Gotti in the eye in an Illinois prison in 1997. Gotti paid Mills $500,000 to kill Johnson, and Mills, who was staying at a Colorado prison at the time, agreed. However, the contract was never completed, and Gotti died in prison in 2002. Initially formed for the protection of whites against blacks in prison, the gang gradually moved to criminal enterprise. In prison, they strive to control the sale of drugs, gambling, and "punks," or male prostitutes. According to Parenti, "Racial warfare comes second to business." The Aryan Brotherhood has carried out contract killings for the Mexican Mafia, but racist beliefs prevent members from consorting with African Americans, including even taking a cigarette or a candy bar from them.Released or paroled members have smuggled money or drugs into prison, including marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamines. The creed by which the Brotherhood members operate under is:
My brother will come before all others
My life is forfeited should I fail my brother
I will honor my brother in peace and war"
