"Does Detroit Have Gangs?"

[Ed Golick]

Don't forget NEP, North End and 12th street gangs.

[Danny]

Even through Detroit does have various violent street gangs, most of them want to keep a very low profile so that they get caught by the police. Over the past 30 years, violent Detroit street gangs were a plague in Southwest Detroit until G.R.A.C.E. an organization devised by various SW Detroit churches put a stop to most of the gangs including Detroit Kings headed by Pablo Bonila.

In the meantime in Detroit's west, east and NW sides lots of black Detroit street gangs like the Cony-onlies, Black Killerz, Young Boys INC. Six Mile Smurfs, Zone 8's, and Eroll Flynns had been destroyed by Coleman Young's Cronies. Now The Dexter Boys, Fenkell Boys, P-Rock, Chi-Town, Joy Rds. East Warrens, Young Sqauds of Islamic Warrendale, 7 Miles, 6 Miles and many more are poping up all the ghettohoods. They are not a violent as the Purple Gang, Il Costa Nostra or the Oakland Sugarhouse Gang, but they may rise one day to rule the streets and terrorize Detroiters with the power of fear.
