Chicago gangs clash with Venezuelan Tren de Aragua members: ‘Blacks against migrants'

2024-09-23

[FoxNews] Local gangs claim Venezuelan gangsters have started to impede on their traditional territory

I’m finding it hard to work up sympathy here, guys. Perhaps if you do something heroic to defend the community, like catching them and turning them over to the police…no, that’s kind of pointless in Chicago. How about catching them and hamstringing them and cutting off their trigger fingers, then dropping them off at the southern border and filming them walking across? Then post their photos on a website for future identification. Because really, guys, the original point of gangs was to protect the neighbourhood — the crime profits are the frosting, not the cake.

Venezuelan migrants moving into Chicago’s South Side have caught the attention of the city’s gangs, with some fearing an impending turf war between local gangs and their Venezuelan counterparts.

"When the black gangs here get fed up with the illegalities and criminal activities of these migrants or non-citizens, the city of Chicago is going to go up in flames and there will be nothing the National Guard or the government can do about it when the bloodshed hits the streets. It’ll be blacks against migrants," Tyrone Muhammad, a former Chicago gangster who did 20 years in prison and now runs a violence prevention program, said in a report for the New York Post.

The comments come as Chicago has seen an influx of Venezuelan migrants, according to the report, including members of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang.

With the arrival has come a rise in crime, locals told the New York Post, while some Venezuelan gangsters have started to encroach on the territory of the city’s local gangs.

"There’s been a lot going on with (the migrant gangs) that nobody’s even hearing about," Zacc Massie, a local Chicago gang member, told the New York Post. "They be moving in our own territory and robbing people but they don’t get arrested like we do. I actually talked to one on the translator app. He told me all the things he got going on; how they helped him get a car, an apartment, (EBT) card, all this stuff. They giving them thousands, we get maybe $400 a month. And they don’t even have Social Security numbers!"

Sources from local Chicago gangs told the New York Post that members of the Venezuelan gang are often heavily armed and have begun spilling into areas traditionally controlled by local gangs.

Local gang member Corey Rogers told the New York Post that Venezuelan gangsters will often be seen "showing the flag," a slang term for brandishing their firearms. He also showed the outlet text threads that featured local gang members threatening turf wars with the newcomer gangsters.

"What bothers me is that the Venezuelans are united," Rogers said. "The black gangs are too divided and they take each other down."

#9 The Venezuelans are likely to bring a more spectacular level of cartel-style violence to the conflict, as well as a probable connection to the Cuban intelligence service (DGI) which has propped up Maduro's government for years now. A widespread, ground-level TdA base in Chicago and deeper penetration of the demokrat machine at the retail level there seems likely to then connect them directly into the mainstream demokrat party apparatchiks in DC.

#7 Too bad the FBI is too busy chasing J6ers, Pro Lifers, and School Board moms to hack up organized crime in the US.

#6 How about catching them and hamstringing them and cutting off their trigger fingers

#5 Have to wonder how the Latin Kings and other established Hispanic gangs will fall out. Doubt they'll welcome a bunch of "Train People" into their turf; on the other hand, very unlikely they'll team up with the black gangs they've been fighting for years. Could be a very interesting and confused AO. Think Syria/Iraq writ small.

How about catching them and hamstringing them and cutting off their trigger fingers,
I remember when TW was the very model of moderation and gentleness... If nothing else, the change should tell you how far things have degenerated...
