If every one of the 1 million street gang members would be a top gangster, the country would be in ruins. A lot of the members will be kids that join a gang for "the name only" in the first place. Nevertheless each and everyone of the major street gangs has some serious career criminals in its ranks. Reading indictments on gangs like Crips, Bloods, Gangster Disciples, MS-13, Latin Kings, Netas, Barrio Azteca, 18th Street Gang, UBN, USO Family, Tiny Rascal, Satanas, Zoe Pound,...makes it clear that a considerable portion of guys that claim allegiance to one of those gangs are connected, dare I say powerful gangsters. On par with any other so-called organized crime group. It might be a seemingly small portion of those 1 million gang members, but it's still enough to count several of those gangs as a force to be reckoned with.
