I think the detective in this is the father of Jim Gorman (also CPD) who passed 2022 (RIP).

Wild footage of the neighborhood!

the dance club scene blows my mind! looks so cool wish i had a time machine

I grew up in Logan Square in the 80s and 90s it was definitely alot of gangs but still a beautiful neighborhood alot of good memories as a kid

He’s a punk.

I like this channel because it shows footage of the white gangs in Chicago. I mostly see stuff about the black and Latino gangs and nobody else.

These were the days in my beloved pilsen. We need to bring back a peace treaty between all latin nations bc what's coming from these yt devils this year is set to destroy us. GANG UNITY BETWEEN ALL NATIONS IN CHICAGO!!!

I must admit that in the past I've been overly critical of police officers in general, without acknowledging 1. That despite all efforts at institutional conformity, they are individuals, with accordingly individual attitudes & responses. 2. To the extent our society has all too many areas that qualify as Urban Hellholes or Asphalt Jungles, it isn't (for the most part) police officers who legislate the laws, maintain & defend policies that create precincts full of drastic human dysfunction. Our political leaders and the super rich they serve design, implement & perpetuate systemic mass inequity and injustice. They're the ones responsible for the root CAUSES of "crime & punishment."

That teacher is probally 42 people looked older

It’s all went downhill ever since men started wearing hats indoors.

It is 2024 almost 2025 and I hear the same words from back then in video, “it all happened for nothing you know”

They used a lot of still images of NYPD

The Yuppie gang has run everybody out of that neighborhood now.

I used to teach adults at Onward House in the early 90s. Very close to there.

Barney Miller referee

my man.....

Im 80 percent sure i recognize the one with the blonde mullet, he used to come eat at Boston's italian beef. I met him years after this. He passed away a few years ago.

INSANE FOLKKS AMO... • •♦️• ~ C💲 Notes ~ ID ~ AVN... YLO~C~ K/C.. OA's...

Did time with an Eagle brother from Wilton, cool down brother. Fingers E. Also another older Eagle brother named Shorty E. Both righteous folks back in Pontiac and Menard.

Joel Daly could have pushed a squad in the 70's and 80's in the Chi. Love my old city during these days, good mix of normal men who were superheros for shifts at a time.

I would have to say going in the city, The C-Notes we're always one of those groups that were always together. There were definitely a lot bigger towards Damen and Ohio area.

Grown lookin kids

Bro.. you bring so much nostalgia back to Chicagoans. Appreciate it Joe..

LMFAO lived on Montrose and Clark fought them Wilson boys before they became gaylords..The Wilson brothers..

❤❤❤❤❤

Illinois state police was the first law enforcement agency that started to used semi automatic handguns instead of revolvers in 1982. Same year as the blues brothers movie

I remember the day I lost faith in the cops. I was a teen and already had many bad experiences with police abusing power, beating up teens. We saw a guy stumbling down Central ave with his entire shirt covered in blood and a big neck wound. There was inner ring of darker blood that I've only ever seen when someone had a near fatal wound. We chased down a squad car and yelled for them to help but they just replied "Isn't it past curfew?" and had us lined up and took their time searching us while a man bled to death just one block away. I never trusted cops ever again.

Omg, I remember that ice cream man. I am from this neighborhood. My mother is Theresa Baumgartner and my father is Raymond Ferris. Omg. This is how I remember my hood. I have never forgotten this area. That's funny. My mom worked at that pizza hut.

Henry Horner homes was the worst

The north side gangs couldn't hold there own against near west or south side bangers,period

Tony must have had a 22lr pistol.

It's funny how dingy and depressing that whole Broadway/Belmont neighborhood looked in 1982. I don't think I would have recognized it, except for the sign on The Melrose.

Schwinn...........This is 1974. Schwinn shortly after 1974 has a huge worker strike and by 1982 they lay off 1800 people and leave Chicago for another state. They finally went bankrupt. Now think of how many other American made product companies went bankrupt or left to other countries. Converse? Basic light bulbs? Mass produced forks and knives? Etc etc............

lived around Milw Damen and North till i was 10 yrs old 1955. remember the El tracks and if i remember correctly the turn around was at Logan square. and as kids my older brother would take me to Humboldt Park. to ride our bikes around the lake. it was safe back then day or night...

38:00 1. Black 2. Latino 3. (We will go after any-other poor people not Irish)

33:20 guy in worst wig ever is making excuses for crappy behavior 😑

Now CPD wouldn’t even get out of the car, even if their family was in trouble. “Not my job”. Change happens above the police.

Does anyone know what happened to the Chicago Gang History website?

All he got was beer balls.

Lots of buildings burned down (mysteriously) and the owners recovered insurance money from it. There was store in a large building at Lawrence and Pulaski that had burned down 5 times in the 80s when I was a kid. My grandfather told it had burned down in the 70s before was born, too. Not the whole building, just the one store.

This video is wild as hell

Thanks for sharing, I was 8 and and living in the northern suburbs

Its crazy seeing how gritty the city was back then. I mean its still not that clean in certain parts, but in the Gentrified parts of the city its like night and day difference compared to even 10 years ago. Bro, you got any old footage of jewtown and maxwell street?

I thought the leader of the 18th street Morgan Dueces was a guy named Teddy Mcgee who started the gang in 1959? I think they used to wear matching cardigans with a set of dueces playing card patches sown on them and their motto was "Death Before Dishonor". This crazy Tony wasn't even a shot caller. He was just some low level thug. You can even tell the type of person he was based off his crimes.. a nobody terrorizing his neighborhood. Same shit still going on today in the little village. Punk kids terrorizing folks who are trying to lead an honest life.

Fucking juarez was a dump even before i got there 😂

Look at Joel Daley...a news staple in Chicago for many years..!

The Great Fred Hampton was uniting all marginalized people (black, brown, white, etc). He began the original Rainbow Coalition. Let's not forget our history!

Thats 1982. The Cops have the 1982-Present patches,
