jan 1, 1960 - 1950's -1960's INSANE DEUCES EST.

Description:

The Insane Deuces have roots that date back to the 1950s. Back then they were two separate white gangs called the Barons and the Blackhawks. The Barons controlled Hamlin Park and the Blackhawks controlled the Lanthrop Homes. There are records of social service workers working with the Barons as far back as the year 1959 when they first encountered the Barons. Sometime in the early to mid 1960s, the Barons and the Blackhawks united and combined their gangs into one gang. They called the unity the Insane Deuces because it symbolized the uniting of two gangs. They then adopted the colors of black and green with the spade and the dice with 2 showing and card with two of spades and the roman numeral II (2). The Deuces were a mostly white gang that took in some Latinos in the 1960s. Since the deuces were not a racist type gang they were able to establish a friendship with the Latin Kings in the 1960s.
