Ex-Gang Member Warns of ‘Bloodshed’ as Tren de Aragua Moves to Chicago, Conflicting With Local Gangs

1. They can't go to some local hospital for free health care to get patched up,

2. They can't go on either state or federal disability for their injuries, and

3. Guns and unused ammo have to be turned in when done.


How about holding it at Comiskey Park and selling tickets? It would be a sellout and far more entertaining than what the White Sox gave fans this season.

Lemme see...

Call Chicago 150 sq. mi.

That's 4.2 billion sq. ft.

Or if that area were a circle, it would have a perimeter of around 666M linear feet.

At 20 foot tall, that means the cage for this most epic cage match occupies 13.3B cubic feet.

That big a cage is costly, but the cost would be made up in Pay-per-View subscriptions.

As long as they can enjoy their festivities without affecting any innocents, it seems like a win.

However, do the gangs we already have manage to their business without collateral damage? If not, what are the chances that adding foreign gangs ((who may be even less inclined to give a hoot about noncombatants) will avoid collateral damage?

Now if we could collect them all up, put them in a walled off area and let them have at it with no noncombatants in the area, that would make an awesome reality show…

Being a Chicago native I have some words on this topic. These gang members are not stupid. The violence is calculated and not totally random. I have gotten know the fringe elements of the gang. {Mothers and cousins not in the game}.I also taught inmates in a Federal prison. The folks could be running a Fortune 500 company if they cleaned up their speech and removed some tatoos.

The deadly Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) has potentially met its toughest challenge yet, as a former gang member warned that South Side Chicago might “go up in flames” as tension between them and local gangs rises.
