What gangs are / have been active in YOUR city?

I've seen Native Mob and Vicelord graffiti in Duluth. Some years ago it seemed like Gangster Disciples and Vicelords were the main active street gangs in Duluth.

No gangs in Hermantown as far as I know.

We have a gang of 80 and 90 year olds that hang out in the building down the street. They are notorious for gossip, playing cards and drinking coffee.

Haha, I grew up in Hermantown. The notion that one would even bring Hermantown up seems a bit silly. It's suburban/rural in the extreme. I don't think there will ever be a gang. Well...except maybe the wannabe druggies with their giant trucks. They're not exactly a threat.

In St. Paul here? Take your pick. The Purple Boys, RCB, GD, Vicelords, Latin Kings. There are also some more local gangs over by Selby (Selby Siders) and a bunch others. They aren't as prevalent as they were back when I was in JH and HS in the 90s though.

Law enforcement had better stop this gang before it gets out of hand. I've noticed chapters are active in many small towns around Sioux Falls already.

Some of these gangs are adopting bib overalls as their colors.

Then they get in their shiny cars and drive ... really slow.

What a joke.

The only gangsters are the ones coming from elsewhere to sell drugs.
They stick out like a sore thumb and are arrested in a short time just to be replaced by the next idiot who will also end up in jail.

Duluth is to small to have any real "gang" presents.
They have been trying for years.
Drug sales is the only reason we see any of them.

The cops know the players , you won't know the players with out a program.

I've noticed them in many areas of central MN as well. I have done surveillance on them and found that they seem to have their gang meetings at gambling establishments. To their credit, their means of transportation in many instances are large, extended, bus-like hoopties. Their gang sign seems to be fist-pumping as flashed when I pass them going the posted speed limit. Beware of these legions of AARP gang members my friends.

Those pimped out Charter buses are usually pretty tricky to spot
