Sexual predators aren’t the only ones drawn to social networking sites such as Rupert Murdoch’s MySpace.com.
George W. Knox, director of the National Gang Crime Research Center, is quoted by the Associated Press as saying as saying he’s trained “hundreds of police officials” on, “how to cull intelligence on gang membership, rivalries, territory and lingo from these Web pages” and Chicago police arrested a teenager who’d, “allegedly sprayed his gang nickname on a church by tracing the moniker to his Myspace.com account.
“His online profile included his address, photo and real name.”
And earlier this month, “two teens charged with beating a boy into a coma could be tried as adults after prosecutors showed photographs of the two from Myspace.com,” says AP. “In the images, they flashed the hand signs of a local gang.”
Notorious street gangs have gone online, “showcasing illegal exploits, making threats, and honoring killed and jailed members on digital turf,” says AP.
They’re posting potentially incriminating photos of members holding guns, messages taunting other gangs and boasts of illegal exploits on personal Web sites and social networking sites, it states.
And XV3Gang isn’t alone. Crips, Bloods, MS-13 and other gangs are online, says the AP story, going on, “Knox and others fear gangs are using the Internet to recruit new members, who can be influenced by the secret handshakes, clothing and slang of gang cultures.”
Meanwhile, “www.XV3Gang.com is fully copyrighted,” says the 18th Street site.
