One charismatic leader, and in the face of strong opposition, that would become an army. Sure, there'd be infighting, bickering, slacking so former competitors got torn up, but still, they are organized (on a smaller unit basis), have a command structure, and are armed.
They already do not care about legalities (wide open ROE), and they only care about their own.
They would have to be taken down in such a way that the minor players decided it would be wiser to fade into the woodwork rather than unite in opposition, which means take out the big boys first.
Considering the propensity of Mexican and Central American bangers to identify themselves with tats, and black gangs in other ways, you would think that would be easy, eh.
Hopefully it will be when the time comes.

Minor players might want to step into the big dogs’ shoes...
