Street gang charged with terrorizing blacks in Azusa; 51 indicted
A federal grand jury has indicted 51 people allegedly associated with the Azusa 13 street gang, accusing them of harassing and terrorizing blacks in the Azusa area in incidents dating back to 1992.

The 24-count indictment, scheduled to be announced at a U.S. Department of Justice press conference on Tuesday morning, catalogues numerous alleged meetings at which gang members discussed targeting blacks in the area, and incidents in which blacks were beaten and robbed.

According to the indictment, the gang also allegedly taxes drug dealers in the Azusa area, passing some of the proceeds on to members of the Mexican Mafia prison gang, a practice common among many Latino street gangs in Southern California.

The Azusa gang paid taxes to a man the indictment identified only as "Mexican Mafia Member #1" until his death in December 2008. Since then, the gang has allegedly paid drug taxes to three other members of the Mexican Mafia that the indictment does not identify.

2. Wanna break up gangs for good once the members go to prison?
- Release and pardon non-violent drug offenders
- SOLITARY CONFINEMENT FOR GANG MEMBERS CONVICTED OF VIOLENT CRIMES LIKE THESE MONSTERS so that they can no longer profit off such activity.
