Gang Busting

NPR's Edward Lifson reports from Chicago on law enforcement efforts to crack down on the Gangster Disciples, one of the nation's most notorious street gangs.The gang now operates in thirty-five states, selling millions of dollars worth of drugs each year.The G-D's as they're called, are said by law enforcement to have more than ten thousand members. The GD's are so entrenched in their Chicago communities that they've even set up political action committees and charitable activities.But a seven year long massive federal sting produced indictments against gang members, which led the authorities to say they've left the gang in a bad situation. Local citizens arn't so sure.
