This shyt is crazy.
The legacy of the drug wars in Mexico has spilled over onto the streets of California as mafia foot soldiers try to eliminate ‘Blacks’ from Latino districts.
The ethnic cleansing took a hit in recent weeks with the jailing of mafia underlings for trying to make it their duty to “cleanse African-Americans out of the city”.
A father and son team, received 30 years in jail for trying to ethnically cleanse their Azusa town of blacks and to corner the drug trade in the Californian metropolis.
The gangsters were tight with the Mexican mafia and the Ku Klux Klan style Azusa 13 gang members tried to intimidate and attack blacks with impunity and were only recently stopped in their tracks.
Santiago "Chico'' Rios and his deaf adult son Louis "Lil' Chico" Rios, have been sentenced to long prison terms for pouring drugs into and out of suburban Azusa -- and making it their No. 1 duty to "cleans[e] African-Americans out of the city.''
In a big win for gang detectives, the bigoted, drug-peddling Rios, 48, got 20 years in federal prison and his equally noxious son, 22, got 10 years.
The pair roamed Azusa scaring the bejesus out of people, with their faces, heads and necks tattooed with "Azusa.'' In court, they were bedecked in chains:
When he pleaded guilty, the elder Rios admitted that the gang had the goal of the cleansing Azusa of blacks. He also admitted that, in order to drive blacks out of the city, he and other members of the gang threatened, intimidated and attacked blacks at their homes, on the streets, at convenience stores and elsewhere, because of their race.
Federal Judge Gary A. Feess, who sentenced the father-son pair, said the gang's number one motive was "the cleansing of African-Americans out of the city of Azusa.''
Will troubled Azusa have a chance, now, to return to some semblance of normalcy, especially for its black residents who never knew when the nasty Rios bunch would descend upon them while they innocently tried to shop and live their lives.
The jailing of the thugs are a dent in the mafia's attempt to take over the streets of this Californian town but may hint at a growing discontent between the two communities.
In 2011, a Los Angeles federal grand jury indicted 51 members and associates of Azusa 13, slapping them with charges including conspiracy to violate the civil rights of blacks, and violating RICO.
According to Asst. U.S. Attorney Reema El-Amamy, they all pleaded guilty and all but 10 have been sentenced.
That was thanks to some very nifty police work by gang detectives, who probably wondered if the Ku Klux Klan-style Azusa 13 gangsters thought they could continue their anti-black pogrom with impunity.

The push to attack blacks was allegedly instigated by Ruben Rodriguez, a Mexican Mafia member from Azusa who has since died.
The gang would assault blacks they spotted in public places and spray racist graffiti. Some gang recruits were asked to attack blacks as a way of proving their worth to Azusa 13, according to the plea agreement.
The Azusa 13 case highlighted how incarcerated Mexican Mafia leaders can create havoc among street gang members they have never met but who obey their orders. Similar cases of the Mexican Mafia influencing Latino gang attacks on blacks have occurred in Hawaiian Gardens, San Bernardino, the Florence-Firestone District, Pacoima, Harbor Gateway, Glassell Park and Highland Park.
When several gang members were released on parole in 1999 and 2000, normally quiet Azusa saw its hate-crimes rate skyrocket over the next three years, as gang members attacked black residents.
In one case, a 49-year-old woman was shot and wounded outside her apartment as she was saying goodnight to a friend. A gang member later testified that a group of Azusa 13 members had shot her after going “hunting” for blacks and finding no men to shoot.
The city formed a hate-crimes task force, then a Human Relations Commission. It began an annual “Hands Across Azusa” multicultural celebration on Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday. The celebration takes place at 1 p.m. Sunday . in front of City Hall.
In an undercover operation, the Azusa Police Department set up a storefront called A Peace of Africa, stocked with goods from Africa, hoping to entice the gang into committing a hate crime. Black undercover officers staffed the store and police staked it out around the clock, but lack of funding forced the department to close the store before any crimes were committed.
Azusa police arrested several of the recent parolees, who are now serving lengthy prison sentences. Federal prosecutors then mounted a broader case against the gang that culminated in the 2011 arrests.
