Kingston Gangs
Gangs in Kingston are found mainly in Kingston political constituencies. These gangs are the result of political rivalry, crime for survival and defense against other gangs. The leader of a gang would be considered the don, usually a man who has many outside links and knows how to make money off criminal means. Not every gang leader maintains these features.

Famous quotes containing the word gangs:
“The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extrahuman architecture and furious rhythm. Geometry and anguish. At first glance, the rhythm may be confused with gaiety, but when you look more closely at the mechanism of social life and the painful slavery of both men and machines, you see that it is nothing but a kind of typical, empty anguish that makes even crime and gangs forgivable means of escape.”
—Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)
