not saying Gangland doesn't get it right sometimes, but the shows I saw were a joke, not really documentaries. They use it plenty. If you go to the USDOJ websites to actually track such stats, you'll find that they use it just as much with street gangs as they do with LCN, it just doesn't make the same headlines. Suburban America (where you're not likely to meet a Crip, a Blood OR a Mafioso), loves a good gangster story. The street gang stuff just doesn't market as well, so you don't read about it. So the whole argument of "why don't they go after the Black dealers?" really is a crock of shit. Just because you don't read about it doesn't mean it isn't happening. As an aside, most States now have their own RICO type statute. what suburbs are you talking about? the suburbs around chicago look like a ragedy area of chicago with more land What suburb are YOU talking about? That's a pretty broad generalization. And not exactly true. so you're gonna tell me how ragedy the area in and around chicago looks? suburbs doesn't mean rich, it means not in the big city

RICO is used against street gangs all the time. I can't even keep up with it at this point. Locally between RICO and gang injunctions, just about every major gang has been hit hard at some point.
