Gang's 'Revenge' Attack On Teen

The sister of a Sydney teenager bashed by a gang of balaclava-clad men says it was revenge for a nightclub incident.

Linda, who did not wish to give her last name, told smh.com.au how her 18-year-old brother Lee was left with a fractured skull, broken left wrist, stitches to his head and severe bruising to his right arm after being beaten by 15 men armed with baseball bats and metal poles.

Lee had finished a workout at the Coolibah Fitness Centre, in Paton Street, Merrylands, about 9pm yesterday, and had got into his car when he was set upon by the group.

"They opened the car doors, five of them started bashing him, he didn't know any of them," Linda said.

She said Lee scrambled out of the car, hit the ground and covered his head, as the 15 started bashing him.

"They were saying, in Lebanese [Lee and his family are Lebanese-Australian], 'Keep bashing him on the head, keep bashing him on the head.' "

The gang smashed the Toyota four-wheel-drive Lee had been driving and took his wallet and mobile phone.

Witnesses chased the attackers off and called emergency services.

The attackers fled in a green Honda Civic, a ute, and a red sedan, witnesses said.

Linda said the attack was retribution for an incident at the Vernadah Bar, in the CBD's Castlereagh Street four weeks ago, when Lee and three of his cousins had an encounter with the other men.

"My cousin was dancing with a girl and eight of the guys surrounded him and they wanted to start him," she said.

The two groups went outside and Lee and his cousins "bashed" the other group of men - whom Linda said were in their mid-20s.

The attack last night was not the first time the gang has sought revenge for the nightclub incident, she said.

They had attacked one of the cousins from the nightclub, David, 25, as he left the Coolibah gym two weeks ago.

She said 20 of them turned up, wearing balaclavas but David, who has a black belt in tae kwon do, chased them off.

"If anyone has any information go to Merrylands police. Even anonymously. Because there were so many people there I'm sure a lot of people saw a lot of things."

The Best Gang In Los Angeles 2010

La Gangs - Hispanic Gangs

Mexican and other Latino LA Gangs in Los Angeles do not claim colors, but rather represent neighborhoods and cities. Turf wars are common among Hispanic Gangs in Los Angeles. Hispanic Gangs in Los Angeles are highly structured, extremely formal organizations with explicit leadership and defined hierarchies. The Mexican Mafia for the most part reins over Hispanic LA Gang membership - Specifically members that claim the number 13 or Trece, also known as Surenos. Common attire consists of Blue Bandanas, Black, Gray, Khaki, Blue and White clothing and Nike Cortez or other similar style shoes. It is ,however, common in some LA Gang neighborhoods to see colors (other than Blue) worn by the Hispanic LA Gangs to represent that particular turf. For instance, the LA Watts Varrio Grape Street Gang wears Purple, the LA Varrio Clover Gang wears Green, and the LA East Side Varrio Wilmas Gang wears Red to represent their particular neighborhood.

LA Gangs - Crip Gangs
The LA Gang known as the Crips is primarily, but not exclusively, made up of Black Members. Formed in the late sixties/early seventies, this LA Gang began as a partnership and support affiliation between the LA Gang known as the East Side Crips and the LA Gang known as the West Side Crips. This coalition of sorts has since then been further split into multiple separate LA Crip Gang Sets. The Crips are considered by Law Enforcement to be one of the largest Gangs in the Greater Los Angeles County area with an estimated membership nearing 40,000 members. LA Crip Gangs have an ongoing intense feud with their mortal enemies the Bloods. For more information and a complete list of LA Gangs - Crip Gangs, photos, videos and more click on the photo above.

LA Gangs - Blood Gangs The LA Gang called the Blood Gang began as a loose coalition of Piru and other Gangs in and around Compton, Watts and South Central in the mid 1970's. Gangs with such names as Push Piru, Lueders Park Hustlers, Elm Street Mafia, Athens Park Boyz and Tree Top Trojans were all individual gangs back then. They soon banded together under the Piru name to resist the rising force of the Compton Crips, West Side Crips, Avalon Gangsters Crips and Santana Block Hustlaz (later known as Santana Blocc Crips). At this point in time, the West Side Crips and the Avalon Gardens were under the control of Tookie Williams and Jimel Barnes respectively. The East Side was under the control of Raymond Washington. The original Piru Gang started in Compton at Centennial High School and was named after Piru Street in the City of Compton. In the Mid 70's Piru Gang members began associating themselves with the name Blood due to an influx of African American Soldiers from the Vietnam War that used the term to refer to one another during the war.
