Wow interesting group but the author is right, the authorities tend to go for the ones with the fame. They make headlines news and puts the prosecutors in the headlines making them local house hold names or heroes. Prompting them more opportunities to further their career. But how organized is the gangsters disciples, I have no clue about them except for the fact that I know their name. You think the threats are being ordered from the upper echeleon or high ranking members or just your average gangster disciple looking to put his gangs on the map even further/seeking fame or notoriety? But damn 18,000 members is a lot but I bet they are spread out into different nothern states, Illinois being the main state that helds a large percentage of it's members.
