“Cops are doing their job Courts – Judges and Magistrates are letting everyone down as usual but what do you expect that’s why nobody has respect for them,” someone else added.

Many gangs started appearing in Georgia in the mid 1980s, as a result of the crack cocaine epidemic. In 2003, there were an estimated 78 gangs in the Atlanta area alone. In 2015, Atlanta police announced that they were tracking an estimated 192 gangs. In more recent times, Mexican drug cartels have established Atlanta as a major distribution hub for methamphetamine, marijuana, cocaine, and heroin.

Drug dealing is the main source of money for gang members, which has led some of the gangs to form untraditional alliances with one another. Armed robbery, commonly drug robberies, are another way in which gangs capitalize in Atlanta’s open air drug market.

The Italian Mafia has long considered Atlanta and its suburbs to be “open territory”; its local Italian-American population was never old, large, or cohesive enough to field a local crime family on its own. Rather, families from other cities, such as New York’s Five Families, have over the years embarked on one-off business ventures such as local restaurants, bars, and strip clubs as lucrative investments in their own right, or as front companies and mechanisms for money laundering.

There are also a handful of Greek families owning local diners that, over the years, have been reputed as having connections with these larger syndicates.
There are also Asian gangs, mainly in the northeastern part of Atlanta, as well as individuals linked with the Russian Mafia.
