The #SpanishCobras is a primarily, but not exclusively, Latino gang started by Puerto Rican teens in #HumboldtPark #Chicago during the late 1950’s. The Cobras are considered the second-largest Latino Folk gang on the north and northwest side, with the Maniac Latin Disciples being the first. The Spanish Cobras were introduced to the world when they stabbed a Latin King in June of 1977. That event became the catalyst for the Humboldt Park Riots when the Latin Kings retaliated and the police shot and killed two innocent bystanders. Rioting broke out for the next 24 hours.

The Insane Spanish Cobras made headlines again during their violent war with the Insane Unknowns during Spring of 1979, resulting in multiple homicides. Spanish Cobras are members of Folks and sworn enemies of all People gangs. Spanish Cobras and Latin Disciples were strong allies in the 1970’s & 80’s but began deadly turf wars over drug territory in the early 1990s, becoming enemies. As head of the Insane Familia of nations, Cobras went to war with Maniacs and Almighty Folks. The Spanish Cobras became enemies of the predominantly white Simon City Royals when Cobras pushed the Royals out of Kosciuszko Park and took it over alongside the Insane O.A.’s.

After a nine month undercover narcotics investigation, in 1998 the Chicago Police Department arrested 31 Spanish Cobras in “Operation: Mongoose.”

Within Chicago, the neighborhoods with the strongest Insane & YLO Spanish Cobra presence are Humboldt Park, West Humboldt Park, Hermosa, Logan Square, Albany Park and Kelvyn Park. They are also found in the suburbs of Bensenville and Cicero, with a small presence in the McKinley Park area on the south side.[citation needed] They are also known to operate in other parts of Illinois, as well as Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha in Wisconsin, and Detroit and are quite large in Flint, Michigan.
#GANGLIFE:  You'll make lots of money, have expensive cars, lots of stuff and be powerful... You'll either be arrested, injured, or killed and your cars, property, drugs, and money will all be taken away by other gang members or seized by the police when you're caught. Most gang members don't 'own' anything.

JC- Born and raised in #Chicago. Spent 17 years in #US and #Mexican #Prison. Worked for the #Cartel. Struggled with #addiction my whole life and #abuse. 

Today I'm #sober, #happy and #married with children. I hope to use my  life experience to help others who are suffering from addiction/abuse.

The system is fucked up and I am doing my part to help inmates. My message to everyone is to never judge people, we never know what people go through and we should be better at embracing others. Help those around you and lift people up instead of knocking them down! #WrongtoStrong
