If you are going to do a crime, the key is to not get caught, and posting your dirt on Facebook is definitely one way to get the police to come knocking on your door. Several New York gang members are in serious trouble as police are investigating three murders and have arrested 43 rival gang members based on evidence collected from monitoring what the gang members were saying about the cases on Twitter and Facebook, authorities said.

According to Reuters, the 25 accused members of the Wave Gang and 18 accused members of rival Hoodstarz have been terrorizing

streets in Brooklyn with shootouts that led to the killing of three people and wounding of several others, New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.

The gang members, ages 15 to 21, bragged about the shootings on the social media sites Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. The tension between the two crews began in August and apparently the gangsters never took firing classes as they missed  their intended targets and so far have killed an innocent bystander and wounded a 9-year-old boy and his dad.

Wave Gang members often robbed 13 and 14-year-olds by threatening to steal their bikes and electronics to intimidate them into joining their gangs, Hynes said. The 43 gang members were indicted on Thursday on charges including murder, assault, reckless endangerment, robbery and weapon possession, with potential sentences ranging from a year to life in prison.

Since their shooting game seems to be off point, I hope their knuckle game is a little sharper because the gladiator school where these idiots are going, they are going to need it.

The 5-4 vote upheld the Second Amendment right to extend to city, state and federal laws.  As we previously reported, this ruling comes a few days after the Chicago mayor Richard Daley vowed to reinforce Chicago's ban on handguns, a ban that had been placed in the city since 1982.

Proponents of gun rights have targeted Chicago's handgun ban as a test of the strength and extent of the Second Amendment.  They are now likely to press their victory in federal courts across the US, seeking repeal of a range of gun-control measures.

In response to the ruling, Chicago mayor Richard Daley said he was planning to hold an emergency council meeting to assess how the city could move forward with other gun-control measures. Chicago already requires owners of rifles and shotguns to register them.

City authorities say those regulations could also be extended to handguns.

Since the Supreme Court's decision did not specifically reject the handgun ban in Chicago, the measure will remain in place until a lower court rules on the issue.

60 people were shot and 10 were killed in Chicago's Southside this past week.

After a 40 person shooting spree in just one weekend, Chicago mayor Richard Daley is looking to reinforce his stance to ban the sale of handguns in the city.

Over a 48 hour span- 60 people were shot and 10 were killed in Chicago's Southside.   Daley claimed that the ban must be put into place even though the U.S. Supreme Court strikes that ban down as unconstitutional.

"Look at all the guns that shot people this weekend. Where did they come from? That is the issue," Daley said at a South Side high school Tuesday.

It was reported that 75 percent of the shootings involved individuals who knew each other.  The city has had a 4 percent increase in homicides (164 total between January and May).

Chicago officials have said that if the Supreme Court rules against the city, they would look for ways to change gun restrictions so they aren't unconstitutional.

Chicago is also planning to spend approximately $25 million in federal economic stimulus money toward violence preventive programs for high school students.

It is also reported that Daley proposed legislation that would require semiautomatic pistols manufactured or delivered for sale in Illinois to be capable of "micro-stamping."

This would allow law enforcement link spent ammunition with the gun used to fire it.  This isn't the first time that a ban has been attempted by a city.  In 2008 the Supreme Court restricted a similar ban in DC.

Chicago's ban on the sale and possession of handguns has been weathering legal challenges for years. But it gained newfound attention after the Supreme Court in 2008 struck down a similar ban in the District of Columbia.

The court now plans to decide whether the ruling on D.C., a city with unique federal status, should apply to local and state laws, too.

Darryl “Buck” White, Darren “Lil” White and “Tyzcheron “Ty” Scott are the three suspects that police are currently searching for.  The three are all members of a local Louisiana gang known as the Zoo Boyz.

While on the chase for the remaining three, Kenny “K.J.” Allen, 18, and Kendell “Ty Ty” Upkins, 18, have already been retrieved and are now in custody.  All five suspects are facing charges of aggravated rape.

The world is becoming a truly horrifying place to live in.

“Me personally, I feel like if you banging outside of California, stay there cause if you come back to California where it originated at, we have different sets of rules and regulations that don't apply to you n*ggas and you will become victim of circumstances.”

Gang life used to be a means to bring together Black men and form a type of Brotherhood.  Although prejudged as something negative and only bringing trouble, the origination of the Bloods and the Crips wasn't based around violence, but more of an outlet to build family relations.

These days, gangs have been a catalyst to crime and increased violence within the community as the youth, whether due to ignorance or immaturity, have used their affiliations as a way to intimidate those that are outside of the set.  Gangs have sporadically popped up across the country leaving chaos at their footprints.

As a Crip of the old school, Snoop Dogg caught up with DJ Green Lantern to speak on the current status of gang life and how it has transitioned drastically from what it was initially.

“I'm proud, but at the same time, I'm disappointed because there's no understanding.  It's cool to be in a gang, it's cool because gangs breed love and family and friendship.  A lot of people don't understand the positives of being in a gang.  If there's no understanding or explanation of why this gang was created, what's the origins of this gang, the rules and regulations, then it becomes a disappointment.”

Feeling as though many are heavily influenced by the media, many are feeding into the visuals portrayed on the television or movies and are allowing others to infiltrate their thought process to give them false representation of being in a gang.

“I feel like a lot of these guys watch TV and they see it, then a couple of guys come from out of town and they brainwash them and they get em and they just gangbangin' for no reason.  When we was doing it, we was brought up in it.  We understood the rules and regulations.  We were there for the foundation.  We knew why we were getting involved and knew the consequences.  These youngsta's that's in it right now don't understand the consequences.  They don't realize that their life is on the line every five minute.”

The rapper also spoke on reppin' sets in Hip Hop and how some artists may need to watch how much they expose themselves when they are on music videos and on the Internet.

“Then, when you find a young rapper who takes on the gangbang mode, who ain't from California, and he goes to California, and some real n*ggas ride up on him from the other side, it's like ‘N*gga, what you was claiming?  We done already did our YouTube research on you and all that.  You flaggin that sh*t and you ain't really a real one?'”

Without naming particular rappers, Snoop stated that there are certain rapper flaggin sets in different areas of the country, but will be quickly approached when they arrive in California.  Without particular badges and documentation from people on the West Coast, some of these rappers have landed themselves in hot water once they touched down into the state.

“I've always expressed on songs that if you come to L.A., you need to come get at a couple of people, I'm one of them.  If you don't get at me, you're in trouble.”
