Haitian criminals operated on their own and were adults during those times.
A Haitian group gang or organization? I don’t think so. Or else this would have been known via news reports.
For example everyone knows about the Jamaican Shower Posse and their criminal and sociopath elements during the crack wars.
The Haitians who were crazy 9 out of 10 times did their own people dirty or they hung around with a crew that wasn’t Haitian.
I don’t know of any history of Haitians pushing work in a black area and getting Chased out during the 70s and 80s.
You have to at least have one source to verify this.
Haitian gangsters ain't new. I think you mean they didn't have modern "sets" type gangs but they clearly had what one might call a gangstas/cliques
is the work of roaming thugs -- called "zenglendoes" in the native
Creole -- who mug and kill for money, keeping the city on edge.
