I think a few posters have a stubborn misconception that's all street gangs are just petite groups which is really mistaken. It depends on the group themselves and how if there's a solid leadership (formal or de facto) manages the enterprise. Some posters haven't updated their knowledge to realized that certain gangs have evolved just like any crime group over time and diversified over 50 years now.

Their relationship with other OC groups is varied based on location , ethnicity, and activity. Interactions with LCN is very small and only in certain places. If a made guy was kill for business by a gang is no different from the other crime groups doing the same.
