KING PITO

I'm a King and I know for a fact the Latin Kings are based out of Chicago not New York. Someone please take that off as it is disrespectful to real Latin Kings and the founders who really started the nation in Chicago back in the 1950's. How is it supposed to be based in New York when New York Latin Kings didn't start showing up until the 1990's and Chicago Latin Kings been around since the late 1950s and early 1960s? It doesn't make sense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.118.1.35 (talk) 23:11, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

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.

Possibly vandalism. wirtten by 05:25, May 31,2005 (UTC)

Jonathan Rodriguez was born in February,15,1992

"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. DonMEGA 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)

Stop posting that the Latin Kings are based out of New York or that they were started over there when they were started in Chicago. Yes the Latin Kings have a strong presence in New York but they have a large presence everywhere there are is a large Latino population like in California and Florida they are active in their as well.

There Should Be A Allies Section for the Page like Most Gangs. Cuz In The Prison System Their Allied With These Cliqs (NF and PN)

Allies

The People Nation and Nuestra Familia

If you want to add information about the new york kings i suggest you create a page separate for them just like the Black P. Stones have their own page for the ones that are located in California

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)
