History of Gangs: Larry Hoover
The creator of the Chicago based Gangster Disciple Nation Gang.
Larry Hoover was born November 30, 1950. When he moved to Chicago with his family in 1955, he joined a gang with about 50 other members that were older than he was called the High Supreme Gangsters. They basically hung around street corners, which were a signature gang mark to them. They stayed on the south side of Chicago, in neighborhoods that Hoover lived by. The first day of his sophomore year in high school, Hoover was kicked out because he was shot in the thigh by a rival gang member. Hoover was appointed the new leader of the Folk Nation in 1974, after former leader David Barksdale died. Afterwards, two years later, Jerome “Shorty” Freeman left BGDN, making the Black Disciples and Black Gangster Disciples separate gang organizations. Jerome was a candidate for the gang’s presidency. Even in prison, Larry Hoover controlled his gang and their drug trade. He placed orders from prison, telling his gang members what to do and keeping a close eye on those who could be possible “snitches”. In prison on July 22, 1978, a riot broke out, supposedly ordered by Hoover. As a result of the riot, 3 correction officers died. All of this took place at the Pontiac Correctional Center in Illinois. After the situation, 21 inmates were indicted. 10 of the inmates were acquitted after an 11 week trial. Not too long after this, the charges against Hoover and seven other prisoners were eventually dropped. Hoover and other leaders of other gang organizations joined forces to form the Mafioso Alliance, a pact meant to settle any disputes and to insure a more peaceful in prison and on the streets. Larry Hoover is the leader of the GD’s, not all folks. The Gangster Disciples are the largest gang in the Folk Nation, holding around 300,000 members worldwide.
In 1995, the government launched Operation Headache, which was created to put an end to the leadership of these gangs and to cripple their criminal operations. With a combined power of agents from the DEA, FBI, Illinois Department of Corrections, local police, and the CIA were mobilized for about 5 years. Hoover was arrested in Vienna by federal agents on August 31, 1995. Soon after, 38 other Gangster Disciple members were arrested. Larry Hoover was eventually sentenced to six life terms, seven 20 year terms, three 4 year terms, and one 5 year term added to his 150- 200 year sentence he received with a 1973 murder conviction. Larry Hoover is serving his time in United States Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility in Florence Colorado.

There are far too many children around the world whom, for reasons not their own, have minds and perspectives that have been invaded by the disease of despair, of anger, of hopelessness and depression. Children without the natural inclination to guide thmselves out of the minefields of adolescence, children who if guided properly would of been future doctors and heads of state, but instead have made a series of bad decisions and caused harm to victims, community and themselves, our worlds lost children whom are only lost because of the negligence perpetuated by our worlds adults.
[I never cease to be in awe as I gaze into the face
of an Innocent child, when God gives them to us as
a blank sheet of paper - clean, pure and waiting to
be inscribed upon. They trust us, open themselves up
to us, and recieve whatever we give them, whether it
be good or bad ]
Do our worlds lost boys and girls not deserve our undivided attention? Do they not deserve a voice speaking in their defense and for the protection of their future? Do they not deserve a second chance?
Well I am here to say that they do, as a former lost child, that is, I joined Chicago’s biggest street gang at 13yrs old, there began a life sentence in maximum security prison at 17yrs old, where I have been for the past 13yrs. Now I am here to use my voice, that we do.
For Our human family has reached a level of sophistication that gives us a vision to acknowledge that it is indeed ideals that are the projectors of change, of reform and of progress, not severe retribution or the persecution of our most valuable resources. It is the distribution of love and hope, not hate and indifference that repairs the harm done to our lost children.
Through pro-action it is in our power to effectively combat this child destroying issue, but we must first acknowledge it. Together we can render the juvenile justice system obsolete, but we must first commit ourselves to the cause.
Together we can practice a world of service minded, focused children, but first we must see our neighbors child as our own.
So I implore you to digest this message and find out what ways you can be most effective in assisting the lost boys and girls in your immediate area.
A powerful role model could of redirected my childhood cause, it may be you who redirects another’s.
I sincerely thank you for your time and attention
