Memphis Most Vicious Gangs

Memphis, Tennessee serves as the Southern headquarters for cliques in the United States. According to the Shelby County Sheriff’s Department in 2010, there were approximately 182 gangs with 8,400 gang members in the county. For every four men in Memphis, two will evenutually join gangs. YoungMob, TrullaMafia, Fam Mob, Swishgang and FastCashBoys[citation needed] are renegade groups of major street gangs such as the Grape Street Crips, Bloods, Concrete Cartel Vice Lords, and the Folk Nation Gangster Disciples, with a growing presence of Latino gangs like La Raza Nation, MS-13, Mexican Mafia, Latin Eagles, Maniac Latin Disciples and Latin Kings. In 2010, 26 gang members faced deportation after they were arrested with ties to the Vatos Locos and Sureno-13 gangs. The Piru Blood gang has spread over time and took over a majority of the Memphis streets. Crips tend to fight amongst each other leaving room for other groups to expand. Memphis California-based Crips and Bloods identify with local neighborhood street names and parks in addition to the traditional set name. Example: The Legends Park Rich Rollin 40s originally out of Dixie Homes who are plugged from the 47 Neighborhood Crips in Los Angeles. The Rollin 20 crips a.k.a Zone 20 also DuecesWxld, are plugged with ex drug dealer turned rapper Calico Jonez of BMF "Black Mafia Family" and YoungScoop Long Beach 20s. Riva Cide Rich Rollin 90s Neighborhood Crips who rivals are the Kansas St. 83 Hoover Criminals. Other examples are the Douglass Park 92 Bishops and the 62 Orleans Family BRIMS.....The Chicago-based Memphis organizations are no different. Prime examples, here the Conservative Vice Lords are known as "Crete Mob" the Unknown Vice Lords are known as "Ghost Mob" the TVLs are known as "20 Mob" there also exist sub-sets within the Vice Lord branches...Prime example of a TVL deck/sub-set are the Schoolfield St. TrapSquad TVLs. There no longer exist universal GDs, VLs, Crips and Bloods everything is now fragmented with cliques. There exist a deck of Black P. Stones in Klondike neighborhood off Montgomery St. known as the "Cairo
Gangs in the Memphis area are concentrated in high crime neighborhoods like college park Hollywood, Hickory Hill, Parkway Village, Westwood, Raleigh, Frayser, Orange Mound, Whitehaven and Binghampton; but their presence is also felt in the suburbs of Tipton County, Tennessee. After a series of gang related robberies at Tom Lee Park on the river bluff in downtown Memphis, the Memphis Police Department said that "they often feel powerless to control these out-of-control teens. In May 2013, high school students warned Memphis City Schools against a proposed school merger of Booker T. Washington High School and Carver High school. "It's like putting the Crips and Bloods together in a national convention. In 2013, Memphis City Council and Memphis Mayor A C Wharton cut funding for Blue CRUSH, the gang division of the Memphis Police Department.
