If you think gangs are restricted to their state of origin, think again. There's ample evidence that Texas gangs have already brought their violence into Missouri and the worst is likely yet to come.

It's my perception that this topic is taboo for some reason. Why is it that many shy away from talking about outlaw motorcycle gangs that either reside and/or travel through Missouri? I've done some digging and learned they're more prevalent in the Show Me State than you might think.

Just when you thought the gang problem in Illinois couldn't get any worse, it does and it has. There's concrete proof that a gang that has created havoc in Venezuela is now active and on the streets of Illinois.

I've heard it said that many gangs are monsters that the rest of us created. This might be one of those cases. What is widely considered to be the most dangerous gang in America is now present and active in Missouri and there's very little that can be done to stop it.

I tend to be very naive. I'm been in and through Kansas City, Missouri so many times in my life, but never realized the gang presence that I was accidentally so very close to. A map shows what gangs are in this western Missouri metro and why they should be feared.

There are groups that live completely different lives than most of us will ever know. In Chicago, those groups are gangs and new maps show how many are in the Windy City and where the streets are that they rule.

I had a guy I used to work with around 30 years ago who had been a former gang member. The stories he told me were terrifying. It's a lifestyle I've fortunately avoided in my life, but the reality is if you spend any time in St. Louis, Missouri, you're near gangs whether you want to be or not. I found helpful guides to show you what gangs are in the big city and where they reside.
