I removeded the following:

You can also identify them as your brother or sister in the struggle. though the neccesities might be different the strugle remains the same. we all face rough conditions that this capitalist and emperialistic society has forced us to be subjected to. we are one people one voice one movement.

"The Almighty Latin King and Queen Nation (ALKQN) was started in Chicago, Illinois, during the 1940's by a group of individuals of Puerto Rican descent. Their alleged motivation for forming this group was an attempt at overcoming the prejudices they faced. They wanted to rise above the racism and create an organization of so-called Kings equipped to fight off injustice to better themselves and their communities. Their lives would, thus, be fulfilled. Oddly enough, most of its members were already incarcerated on serious criminal charges. Inevitably, the ALKN became one of Chicago's largest and most violent street gangs."

Why inevitably? They might have formed some wonderful, peace-loving organization instead. Changing it for NPOV.

You aren't using logic. The article says that because "most of its members were already incarcerated" the ALKN inevitably (unavoidably) became one of Chicago's largest/violent street gangs. It isn't probable that formerly incarcerated gang members, most likely convicted for violent or serious drug offenses, are going to start a community flower garden. The article is within the scope of acceptable limits. Pipe down. Haizum 02:13, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Stanley "Tookie" Williams renounced his gang affilliation while in jail, so it's not impossible for criminals to change their ways. DonMEGA60645 13:23, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Oh right, after he killed multiple people, and after they gave him a spot on death row. What a hero. Haizum 14:00, 20 October 2006 (UTC)


Why isn't this written like the other gang articles? I know the Lating Kings didn't start as a violnent gang and is trying to stop doing that, but as of present, it IS a violent gang and has not maintained it's positive role it was established to do. Ilikefox34 20:32, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Protection

Folks, please discuss the issue. Calling each other vandals and edit warring is not productive, and is making it awfully tempting for me to block you both. Please discuss your rationale. --Nlu (talk) 14:58, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

The latin king streetgang ARE part of the people alliance and one of the main founders of the Ally organization. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Homan05 (talk • contribs) 06:08, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Correct reference link.

For when this page is no longer protected, the link to footnote 2 ("Gang wars shake Spain's Latin quarter") should be this. [1] Alcarillo (talk) 06:50, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Power

Wasn't there a Latin Kings leader called Power back in the 80s? I used to hear his name all time down in Miami. I've never been in a gang, but his name was always around back then and I think he made the news a couple of time. Don't see his name in the article.
