Via prisonwriters.com
The roots at the Almighty Latin King and Queen Nation date back to 1943 in Chicago, Illinois and in the beginning, it consisted mostly of Chicano and Mexican males. The Latin Kings gang officially formed in 1964. Two factions eventually formed out of the original gang, King Manifesto and Constitution (KMC) and Bloodline in New York City. One of the most shocking portions of the Latin Kings is their “Kingism” ideology, more specifically in three stages or cycles in life that constitute Kingism. The Primitive Stage is where the ‘warrior’ acts on impulse defined as a time of gang banging, getting high, and being recognized as big and bad.
The next stage is The Conservative Stage is when a King will calm down and possibly get married and the last is The New King Stage. The New King is aware and decisive and is ready to start a revolution. This philosophy is well maintained and is one reason why The Latin Kings have lasted this long.

Mostly known for drug trafficking, money laundering, and organized crime the Sinaloa Cartel was established in the mid-’80s. With notorious leader “El Chapo” at the helm the Sinaloa Cartel, they have been at the head of countless massacres that show a brutal disregard for human life. The Boca Del Rio massacre refers to 35 tortured bodies left with a Narco banner by the Sinaloa cartel.
Nueva Laredo massacres one and two happened less than a month apart from one another and saw 28 people die. The Nueva Laredo massacres were messages sent to Los Zetas from El Chapo. In retaliation, Los Zetas took nine lives during this tumultuous time.
The Sinaloa cartel has also killed protesters, taken innocent lives with random gunfire, and engaged in countless violent gun battles. Their most brutal ritual was the daily violence inflicted at the hands of El Chapo. Now that he has been killed we will see if the violence dies down.
