Gang Expert Gabe Morales discusses the origins of one of Chi-Town's oldest active gangs as shown in his book "Chicago-Based Gangs: Beyond Folks and People" co-written with Ret. CPD Gang Det. Joe Sparks.
I grew up with Fabian and Curly Cano on the South Side of Chicago, 67th & Artesian/63rd & Francisco. They moved to San Antonio in the early 90's and started a branch down there. Curly has since been released and living a peaceful life.
Phabe Dawg (Fabian Cano) and Curly (Danny Cano) had the city of San Antonio shook. I grew up with the Cano brothers and their original Outfit in the early to mid 90's. Before the Cano brothers showed, there was a gang called Chicago Gangsters which consisted of several gangs from Chicago. Chicago Gangsters were made up of 2wo 1nes, Deuces, Bishop Counts, 2wo 6ix, Imperial Gangsters and Ambrose. 2wo 6ix and Ambrose ended up expanding their numbers and broke away from the CG's, which caused the CG's to defect. After the AA's branched off from the CG's, the AA's made a name for themselves by taking on all the big and major gangs of each side of San Antonio.The AA's converted, or made the (South East) Vega Klik flip AA's, and made the AA's double in their numbers, and become more violent and powerful. After Curly and Digger got locked up for a convoy shooting against the Klik, I lost touch with the AA's.To this day, it amazes me to see fresh new tags of the Almighty Ambrose. Amor! 🔷❤
This is true because they settled in my neighborhood but also that wasn’t the only one that came down bout six or seven factions of Chicago gangs came down as well as California,but the Chicago gangs banged hard and yes got into shit but when they went to prison some got recruited in prison gangs even if there were beef there’s always a rival faction that will recruit you ,some became Christian in jail with lengthy sentences,others became orejones (tango)
Dip squares the Ambrose would smoke a lot. I have cousins that were from Throop St. I was 26 back then. I used to go to 18th st and hang out with them. The crazy thing is i also had cousins that were Latin Counts and I would go over to Racine and Allport and hang there also. My family wer3 old Spartans and Rampants.
I was a bc in the Westside of sa over on 19th st. we claimed baby blue and were folks we were part of the blue circle back in the day with the Ambrose, damage inc,la boys,and other folk nation and blue flag gangs. Amor!💙
I never knew there were Almighty Ambrose in San Antonio but there was Two Six in Corpus Christi and San Antonio for sure. A guy name Carlos from Chicago started it down here. His brother Freddy gave me my first home made gun tattoo ever when I about 15.
@Nick Kerr Saint died decades ago , and Ram didnt need to rob stores , Foze and Ram pass within the last year . The story you just mentioned is different people . Which some have also passed but they were not Denver street. No one ever died from shooting up a house on Denver street ever....respect bro ..I am only saying so no false info starts to spread ...this kind of fame doesn't come with good outcomes...it's a lifestyle I compare to a drug addition once it's in you ,it's in you. Just because someone tells you it's a diamond doesn't mean it is...it must be put through some tests,real diamonds don't break and some of these Ambrose never broke. Respects to you bro and thank you for your reply
I don't know about San Antonio but they came down to Dallas and Houston my uncle is Louie limas my grandmother left Chicago and came to Dallas and my other uncles came down here
Did Fabian become a carnal ???I heard he had a hard time with TDC cuz ambro had the green light here .. so did you know that dude saint ? He used to live on the east side they would shoot up his house I think every other day..
* tp* There were single Ambrose Already in San Antonio In the Cassianos- at least two different ones- for a few years. Older Solo Brose - 85/86 From 18th. In 87-89 the Cano Brothers from SS (active teenager members) organized the first set with in Chicago (St. )Gangsters. Which generated several families/ sets. With their own historical Members, events, wars, conflicts, gestures and bloodlines. The SA photo is from one of the largest Families, DSG_A. AAmor Dk KkA’sCKo A. M. B. R. O. S. E NATION 1800 /6300 A. M. O. Rzk Any Ambrose plugged in SA is Almighty!! Video review* Fair presentation with parallel timelines, common knowledge. From the old ChiTown bangin books. Good visuals. With a few mistakes. But overall an enjoyable presentation of this particular power group / religious sect native to Chicago and has not stop growing. Warriors are born & Soldiers are made by Warcraft. Black Hearts & Blue Blood. Spears For Years ) A’s For dA’ze . B.o.S. C.o.S. C.o.A. 360 667 720 114 AAAMo
Half of your info is wrong. Yeah both have never align themselves with nobody especially the SDS they just knew a few to two boys whenever lead or United with nobody
Ambrose have not had an active set in san antonio since the greenlight in the 90s. No new hoods no new members nothing. Most flipped eme or orejon as soon as they were arrested in san antonio for anything
@@msteppa4281 oh yea where at?? Im out here never see em. I see dudes that say they used to be Ambrose, still wearing north carolina or whatever but yu press em and thats not what they on. I was on the west side and a guy behind me asked if i was who i was and i turned around he had a knight on his forearm so i asked him whats up with that...he dont bang no more🤦🏾♂️🤣🤣 AK ALL DAY
@@msteppa4281 yea there may be people still claiminh it , rocking As hats and north carolina shit but they aint a factor at all. Im from the Denver Heights on the East side and at one time they were around but not now. Im 41 years old but still with it🤟🤟👑
yeah there is Ambrose and 26 ..lord's and Chicago gangsters ..from Chicago...all in San Anto. Texas...they had a folk nation in San Antonio and also they had wars with the La kings the SA kings ..the klik, the clan ,..they also went to war with the Fellas from Victoria courts ..they had this thing the black circle was all these gangs were forks down and they sported black rags and they had another group of all different gangs were blue circle they were forks up and sported blue rags...they went at it for years all over San Antonio..they were doing drive by shootings all the time..a lot of people were shot during the 90s in San Antonio...but like it's a tourist attraction the Alamo and riverwalk...the news in San Antonio kept it quiet and under wraps bcuz they didn't want to scare off the tourists...but yes there's Ambrose 26 and Lord's of Chicago in San Antonio... just being honest..
I'm originally from San Anto and banged heavy in the 90's. I vividly remember having beef w/ 2 6 and a loose alliance with different sets of the Ambrose. People can talk all the mess they want but at one point in time the Ambrose were one of the most hated in San Anto, they did their thing and stood their ground in a city heavily King ( Latin, WSV etc..) influenced.
Thank you for another confirmation of that. Yes, some people (I think mostly youngsters) don't always know the history of local gangs. I think it is important we learn from the past to create better futures.
@@msteppa4281 ebp was from the west side Puro Ocho was from the Denver Heights. Back in the day it was different yu had blue circle n black circle...kinda like people n folks but blue circle were allies n black circle were allies. Ambrose and bc and damage and two six and vlb ...alot of others made up the blue circle, Puro Ocho, STL, different bloods , CA13 just alot of random gangs made up the black xircle. Taggers kinda came and started getting people from everywhere n the gang bangin slowed on that type of combined bangin.
@@msteppa4281 nah bloods and shit were black circle there was no red circle. Midnight colors were EBK and didnt fk with any gangs. I was shot in the neck by an MC when i was 14 in the denver heights.
@@msteppa4281 nah wsv and btk are not latin kings. They are black rag and 3 point crown, the Latin Kings are Black n Gold and 5 point crown. But not enemies. Theres also lincoln court kings, and los azteca kings.
@@msteppa4281 and as far back as i remember the MCs were always maroon and never bloods. The ETGs were serious at one time but idk about who biggest they were known as shooters tho but there was several crip sets at the time, digniwitty lench mob, altedena block crips, and some others. And there were alot of bloods like BSV and and stixx and and rigsby courts. The ETG at one time were crips and blue and grey but they are not crips now they claim grey and say cuz but say they are not crips just claim their hood.
Im currently in San Antonio but originally from Elgin Ill and when I got to San Antonio 1992 I hung out with a gang known as the KLIK and saw tons of Ambrose graffitti all over San Anrtonio but never ran into an Ambro , I heard of a dude named Curley that was an Ambro and they started a klik in SA of Chicago gangs but didnt last .
Yea curly was a curly boy Ambro but there was alot of sets of ambrose in san Antonio. Presa boys , denver street gangstas, wild side ambrose...there were alot. Theres still alot but they had a green light in the 90s for refusin to pay taxes and most stopped claiming ambrose.
