Gangland on the History Channel
Anyone watch this show? I watched an episode last night about the Nuestra Familia in NorCal, and it was really interesting. I remember in Jr. High and High School in the 90s there were a lot of XIV taggings around town, and I knew it was gang related, but didn't realize how big it was.
For those that don't know, XIV is 14 and N is the 14th letter in the alphabet. N is for Norte, or North, and the gang is a huge rival of the Mexican Mafia in LA. I was fascinated by the structure of the whole thing, they have a gang constitution, recruiters, and an org chart. I was just waiting to see if an accounting firm has given an opinion on their internal controls. Anyway, interesting show for those who are naive to what's going on, like me. |

2 men, 1 an FBI Agent, and the other an Informer, decided to infiltrate the gang in AZ and it was stunning to see what depths they'd go to and how violent they would have to be in order to get the Hells Angels to trust them and the 2-3 year process it takes to even be inducted into their group.

Yep, it was the same one. Even in Prison they're revered as an authority figure and big decisions will often be ran by them for approval.

The cop really struggled with it. It turned out that the Hells Angels really did care about him and loved him as a family member, but he had to do his job because he knew that despite their loyalty to each other, bottom line is that they are criminals.
