Do your thing man. Don't forget. We do got merch and we also got the patreon We post Monday through Friday, man. I I just wanted to hurry up man. This is swamp stories. I Believe we watched a couple things from swamp stories Because I am subbed But this one got me Chicago's most vicious GD's How one man caught 11 of them and is facing 875 years. That's tough Let's listen to the man because I ain't never really seen those stories about the Members on here, so let's take it out. Hmm You got to be a first Welcome back to another episode of swamp stories for this video We cover a story that you probably never heard of as you know The South Side of Chicago has numerous stories that are always talked about whether it's the obloquians 60-30 ins It'd be hard pressed for me to not hear but I'm from here No limit or even 05 1 obviously these are grave situations that are constantly covered for a reason But Chicago was a giant city and there are plenty of situations that are equally as bad But are never talked about and for this video we cover probably the wildest one I've covered worse There's a lot of things going on in the city or even under in the surrounding suburbs some of the surrounding suburbs that You'll never hear about because it's not the popular People to talk about For today, this one is crazy. Trust me. But before we get into it. Let me run the intro The story begins in Englewood long known as Chicago's worst South You mean Englewood in the bro said Englewood. All right outside neighborhood The area is your typical low-income hood with the average income sitting at just 22 000 a year On top of this it ranks in the top two most violent jurisdictions in Chicago Because of this residents are constantly on edge and they know that something can pop off at any moment Regardless people from this environment are used to it So they still enjoy fun activities in the neighborhood the same positive things still go on here like anywhere else Just with an added sense of danger and that takes us to april 5th 2008 I feel like when he said that he kind of under under Undervalued what really be When stuff is going on in the city like that it is allowed It's allowed Because it's for a good cause but even if even if like Something wants to go down or somebody's opposite be spotted. You're right This is a sense of danger because there's no morals. There's no There's no law rules or war out there over engagement It's all outlaws. Nobody has no, you know, I'm saying so That's why they say when it's up, it's up in the right. So anyway It's a nice spring day in Englewood And everyone is happy to be outside after a brutal winter and on this day a family is celebrating their son's eighth grade Graduation on their front lawn everyone is outside sharing laughs and having a great time But then out of nowhere two young men at the gathering began arguing and start making threats A young man who lives right next door hears the commotion and looks out his window He sees a situation that could potentially end badly and his instincts kick in So he instantly puts on his clothes and runs outside The man's name is albert von a recent honors graduate from julian high school Well, albert decides to walk into his neighbor's yard and tell everyone to relax He even puts his arms out to separate the people arguing and this right here is a major mistake in chicago The people at the party do not take well to albert's intervention and they all begin to get in his face So he starts. Yeah, that's the thing man about chicago. If you arguing if you see two people arguing Let them man. Let them argue because that energy is definitely going to shift towards you every time It's backing up and they was probably homies too that was arguing like It's off their property For whatever reason the people follow him onto the curb and they begin to surround him So in response albert picks up a wooden plank and holds it up Even though he's just protecting himself one of the party goers does not like this at all This would be 27 year old nethanyl tugger a man who had been arrested for 11 felonies in five years Well, nethanyl instantly runs inside the house looking for a man I started at prudu global because As he's grabbing the bat chicago police coincidentally arrived to the scene All they see is albert holding up a plank so they order him to put it down and turn around As albert turns around and puts his hands up nethanyl comes running out of the house He sprints all the way up to albert and That's terrible timing Like that's terrible timing for uh, buddy that ran out that house Thankfully nethanyl was arrested at the scene the incident devastated the thankfully Thankfully the police would have Moved a little closer in a situation Especially the von family the family was proud of their son as he had graduated high school and enrolled in college albert's father had raised him as a stand-up man and made sure to keep him off the streets of chicago Well during the weeks after the incident the family started a foundation in his name The albert von foundation would be used to bring community activities to the streets of vanguard And this is how albert's three brothers made it their mission to keep his name alive These would be alvin alex and robert von through the foundation The brothers started a three on three basketball league to bring the community together The league was a major success and truly created a brotherhood of friends and family They all hung out on a daily basis and began to call themselves goonie boss The idea was that everyone in the squad was their own boss, but that they were not scared to defend themselves Essentially, they were a good group of guys just trapped in a terrible neighborhood The original members would of course be alex alvin and robert von Then would be one of their close friends named jonathan jackson also known as big jones Another would be an aspiring rapper named started a gang In response to their brothers passing. All right, pito for real That's an unfortunate way named alonzo williams also known as king engelwood Jonathan and alonzo were best friends to the von brothers closer than blood could be Well over the years they became known as the hustlers and fly guys in engelwood While everyone else was beefing they were just there having a great time They stayed in their lane and made sure to never step on anyone's toes But then came the year 2012 when a new member would come along and ruin everything In 2011 an unexpected man began showing up to the goonie basketball league This would be a local man named romeo blackman also known as odog Odog grew up in the streets of engelwood and was always known as a feared bully in the area So when he with a nickname like odog here, he gotta be like that He first showed up to the league. Everyone was confused. Why do you want to be here? And of course the von brothers knew his reputation very well However, because they're kind hearted they decided to look past it and give him a chance Well right off the bat odog and the goonies became good friends and they began hanging out all the time Odog really took a liking to the goonies as he saw them as the cool guys in engelwood who like to have fun And the goonies found him to be a fun guy to be around as well However, odog was not the changed man that the von brothers thought In fact, his true intentions were to turn the goonies into a powerful gang in the streets of engelwood Odog had an obsession with power and he was willing to do anything to get it So essentially joining the goonies was his opportunity to climb the ranks and began telling everyone what to do And by 2013 his plan came into works He convinced the vons to let him lead the goonies and this is how the madness started His first step was recruiting his own members ones that he could trust to be loyal and put in work First he recruited his right-hand man named demarco bened also known as marco Marco happens to be king von's first cousin Then he recruited his own cousin named rashad wells also known as tay bug next would be a man named taren smith Also known as tea tea and marco were two well-known steppers in engelwood So this was a big deal and after them would be another two steppers named Jalicious turmin and lil moe now This right here was a squad to be reckoned with and the vons had no idea what odog created At first they had no rivals, but odog still wanted all the goonies to carry a blink and that takes us to january 10th 2014 it's a cold chicago winter day and goonie member big john is driving down south racine boulevard As he's cruising a chicago police car gets behind him and hits the lights So big john pulls over and the officer asks to search the car inside the car The officer finds a blicky and just like that big john is arrested and should have said no Booked into cook county. Why did it get pulled over for with no probable cause in the state of illinois? This is a class 4 felony punishable by a minimum of one to three years Of course the goonies were upset, but one to three years was not the end of the world And just like that one of the original goonies was gone for the foreseeable future or maybe not Within just three days big john was released from cook county jail This surprised everyone and even made some hold on big john what you You Italian beef and Pepsi did it? What's going on? Members skeptical specifically odog was paranoid that big john was a snitch So to confirm his suspicions he began asking fellow members what they thought big john's best friend named king Anglewood told him to hold off and that he didn't snitch on top of this the von brothers all told him the same thing There are all kinds of reasons a case can be dropped in any ways Who did he snitch on it made zero sense, but odog was a fiend That's true. That's very true like y'all haven't done anything yet So what would y'all what would he snitch what is there to snitch about? See I need to think about that And for conflict one week later january 22nd 2014 odog texts big john to tell him that they need to meet up and talk So at 4 p.m. Odog pulls up to big john's apartment He then walks inside his building and meets him in the hallway together They walk upstairs to his apartment and that's when odog makes a wild decision This incident devastated the original goonie boss members and their minds This was completely unnecessary especially without proof The majority of original members were scared to speak up in fear of odog However, one original member had enough heart to speak up. This would be big john's best friend king anglewood King approached odog and told him that he was upset with his irrational decision He told him that big john was solid and that he made a terrible mistake This was a bold decision and odog was furious king anglewood was now on his list March 21st 2014 Odog was wild. He didn't care about nothing all he wanted was negativity It's a friday morning in anglewood and king is outside on the block at 10 30 a.m Specifically, he's hanging out in the alley a block down from big john's apartment Little does he know odog is surfing around looking for him Odog can't find him on racine, but he knows that he's somewhere in the vicinity at 10 40 He heads down west 70th and spots king anglewood outside So he casually hops out of the car and walks down to the alley He approaches king anglewood and without saying a word King anglewood was a popular young man and the whole community was hurt Neither him or big john had done anything to warrant what odog did to them As you would expect the goonies and the von brothers were not happy about what he had done However, they knew that they were no match for odog and his boys so they had to just go along Odog was truly becoming the feared leader he wanted to be and this was a scary sight Odog was destined to create a force on the south side and nothing was going to get in his way His first step was officially claiming a territory the corner of 71st and Aberdeen This is where the goonies could now be seen on a daily basis The territory wasn't claimed by anyone before but the location was a very dangerous choice The goonies were surrounded by vicious gangs at every angle literally just Just one block away just to block down on 72nd and Aberdeen was pushed squad a reputed bd say Then directly across Aberdeen is the black pea stones known as may block This was a dangerous predicament, but that's why odog chose it In fact, he was eager to use any inconvenience as a reason Investors who own gold have earned higher overall return To start a beef during this time if you even looked at odog for too long He considered you a knock well in early October odog went to the club with a couple of goonies At the club the goonies were partying looking to have a great time like they usually do But odog was in there for the sole purpose of finding a reason to get on anyone Long story short odog got what he was looking for He got into an argument with a reputed angle would say this would be chunky city a reputed set located 15 blocks west of the goonies For most this how you know how chicago is very clicked up. This is two gd says to make both gds Didn't care It's really like this not just in an odog situation, but Chunky city a reputed set located 15 blocks west of the goonies for most people This would be a forgotten incident But for odog it was a reason to start a beef and just like that the goonies had their first ops and chunky city wasn't even aware October 23rd 2014 It's a regular thursday afternoon in Englewood and the goonies are hanging out with odog Odog is excited about a new member named kwante hues and he's eager for him to put in work So at 6 p.m Odog tells kwante about a section that he got into it with in the past weekend He tells him that chunky city members disrespected him and that he needs to make a statement So kwante feels his anger and volunteers to slide 7 20 p.m odog kwante and taren smith hop in a dodge caravan and head to chunky city They put on their masks and gloves and began circling the area as they head up 72nd They notice a man standing on the block So instantly odog tells kwante to stop the car and let's go They then open the doors of the van and odog and taren's hop out the man starts running, but the goonie I ain't gonna lie odog back in 2014. He was hopping out on foot He was walking stuff down I don't condone it, but he was doing it. He's eventually ketchup Directly after doing this odog and taren sprint back to the car and they drive away as the goonies are taking off They notice a cop car behind them They all figure they're screwed, but odog tells them to calm down He instructs kwante to speed up and make a left at the next corner He then tells him to stop the car and for everyone to sprint in different directions Odog and taren's run between the houses and kwante takes off down the street when the police catch up All they see is kwante running away. They eventually catch up and kwante is arrested Odog and taren's were somehow able to make it home on foot without leaving a trace Odog was nervous that kwante would snitch, but he never did such a thing After such a close call you'd expect the guys to lay low and reconsider what they're doing But no odog was a sick-minded individual and this amped him up even more In fact, just a month later, taren's and odog would slide again While targeting a chunky city member, the duo would accidentally hit a 25-year-old woman named crystal jackson The terrible incident sparked major outrage in the community and caused everyone to start hating odog Even the goonie member is pretty disgusted by what he had done Specifically alex and alvin bond could not believe what the goonies turned into This right here is very pivotal in the story, but we're not quite there yet In the meantime, we focus on the goonie's next rivalry Right down the street happened to be push squad, a reputable bd said When the goonies claimed the territory right next door, push squad was not too thrilled And as you know, hearing about this is enough to set off odog Odog hops in a silver chrysler with marco bened in the passenger seat They slide around the push squad area just to block away from where they reside On the corner of 72nd and may they spot a member named smiley odog instantly tells marco to hop out So marco hops out and runs across the street Marco runs back to the car and odog speeds off He heads north for five minutes until a chicago police car gets behind him He stays calm until the police turn on their lights and then he takes off Once he gets some distance, he makes a right on 51st and tells marco to hop out marco runs inside the nearest building And runs up the stairs. He realizes there's nowhere to go So he throws his blicky out of the window into the backyard He then runs back downstairs where he's surrounded by chicago police Just like that marco is arrested for evading police and only that and for odog He was able to get away after a short pursuit now You may be wondering how he got away, but this will explain it odog was only Odog elusive as hell god damn He pulled over for not using a turn signal. The officer had no clue about the incident on 72nd So that's why police gave up on the pursuit. It simply was not worth it And police only tied marco to the incident once they discovered the blicky in the backyard On top of this a witness would come forward and identify marco as the one who did it and just like that he was cooked For life once again odog got lucky He started this for absolutely zero reason only because he felt disrespected And now he was the primary rival Honestly in chicago, that's all it take If you feel any type of disrespect you've got to go stand on That's what a lot of people mindset is in chicago. That's why chicago's something that's tough Somebody step on your shoes. That's disrespect. We got to get you going out of there. You got to get out of there Some people Not all but He wanted him gone right away So for the next few months push squad members searched and searched for odog They targeted him on several occasions, but he survived each one The rivalry was on and odog was not playing fair january 15th 2016 It's a freezing cold morning in englewood and odog and a fellow member are searching for rivals Together they're looking for push squad members. They can find around 72nd They check back a few times, but they can't find anyone outside Well at this same time a young man named divan horris is on his way to 72nd in may to pick up a girl divan is known as d money and he's from a section that has nothing to do with goonie politics Well at 1115 d money arrives on may street in double parks and puts on his blinkers As he's waiting for the girl to come outside odog and tabug are driving up the street They notice the car double parked and they get suspicious So odog double parks at the end of the street and hops out with tabug They walk towards d money's car and he notices them approaching So he instantly opens his door and that's when things go left. Odog sadly unleashes Odog and tabug would skirt away and get away with this Everyone was shocked and once d money's hood found out what it was about. They were not too thrilled They were now added to the list of odog haters D money was a popular figure in their hood so much so that they changed their name from taytown to d town Once push squad found out about the story. They reached out to d town and decided to join together This was bad news for odog and the goonies March 15th 2016 A goonie It's crazy because half of the goonies didn't even want to be on that Forced. Eber named Cuzzy is grabbing food from the market on 69th and Racine. Cuzzy is not a factor for the goonies He's simply just a close friend of the Vaans regardless his associations. Yeah, that don't matter Yeah, you might as well be a member Make him a big target for the rivals Well at 7 30 p.m. He grabs his food and walks out of the store And right there are two men with masks This was goonie boss's first loss on paper and when odog found out he was furious At this point odog was disappointed that none of the goonies were sliding on their own For most members, this is because they didn't understand what they were sliding for No one had ever done anything to them But now the goonie members had a reason to be upset Specifically a member named christian civils was upset Especially because he was close friends with Cuzzy and for this reason he had his eyes set on revenge on d-town So it's all it take One little wrong death turn somebody savage up Now he now he liked that forever Stilly he began spinning around looking for d-town members And finally he was able to get a draw may 21st 2016 Christian civils gets word that a d-town member is hanging out not too far from goonie territory Specifically he gets word that duke from d-town is hanging out in crazyville So at 7 30 p.m. Christian heads to crazyville looking for duke at 7 44 he dropped Every time I watch like the chicago like documentary. I ain't really got nothing to say It's too familiar So it's like Down 70th and notices duke standing outside a music video christian knows that there's too many people outside for him to hop out So he makes another decision. He simply rolls down his window and Sadly five days later. Oh dog would do the same except this time. He was looking for push squad may 26 2016 2 45 p.m. It's a thursday afternoon in englewood in a push squad member is getting his hair cut On the south side of chicago barbershops are some of the most dangerous places one can be this is because barbershops cast stations corner stores outside Because ops can accidentally meet there But also because you're sitting in the same spot for over an hour Well, the push squad member happens to be getting his hair cut at powels a local barbershop on 63rd in may As he's walking in the shop a man walking out recognizes him as a push squad member The man who's a friend of odog texts him about what he had seen instantly odog leaves his house and hops in his gray christler He arrives 10 minutes later in double parks outside of the barbershop And this is when he makes a truly devastating decision from outside the barbershop. He simply unleashes After doing this he hops back in his car and drives straight to alvin von's apartment He tells alvin that he caught a push squad member and to check the news as they checked the news several hours later They realize that jerald seas was not the intended target alvin and alex von are sick to their stomachs But for whatever reason odog simply does not care this infuriates alex and alvin inching them one step closer to their breaking point However, we're still not quite there yet Sadly odog's madness would continue After this wild act odog decides to take a break from the streets of chicago He decides to visit family in a small illinois town just two hours south of chicago Particularly he visits his distant cousin named jerald bumper also known as goldie Goldie was born in englewood But his family moved to the small town of streeter to escape the madness if you're unfamiliar What you are streeter is a small country town where nothing happens. This is where goldie was raised from element Street through high school surrounded by nothing but farmers and small town living while around 2015 Odog had poisoned his mind and recruited him to help out the goonies because he wasn't in the streets Goldie could legally purchase blikis under the radar Essentially odog used him to get blikis as he pay him over retail This is how business was conducted for over a year Well, then came the summer of 2016 when odog was flat out broke and could no longer afford to buy them This was a problem, but odog would always come up with a solution He contacted goldie and pitched him on the idea of hitting a lincoln streeter Hitting the same store where goldie used to buy the blikies while goldie agreed and the plan was on Odog and two goonie members driving Robbing the gun store is never the never the move I've down to streeter Like at night 21st 2016 10 30 p.m Odog and two goonies drive from streeter to the small town of spring valley There they look around for unattended cars to steal at 10 40 Odog spots a black jeep wrangler at a gas station He tells the goonies to drop him off and to meet him at the bliky store So he hops out of the car and jumps in the jeep He quietly pulls off and hits the freeway back to streeter at 11 25 Everyone arrives at south post gunsmithing odog then backs the jeep in front of the doors He tells the members to stand clear as he puts the car in reverse and slams on the gas He breaks through the front door and they all run inside with their bags after five The number of clients I think I remember this hearing about this It ain't gonna lie. It sounds super familiar Minutes they all hop in odog's chrysler and drive back to chicago Somehow they were able to get away with this however over the next week odog became extremely paranoid He trusted his two goonies to stay solid if they ever got arrested But for goldie he was sure that he would snitch because he's not from the streets For this reason odog refused to drive goldie back to streeter Odog was a paranoid man and he needed to keep his eyes on him at all times And finally after eight days odog could no longer handle the anxiety On june 30th goldie was found in an ankle wood back alley Goldie was I mean odog is out of control This man got no no No brain lost it Odog truly reached a new low with this one his own family who did absolutely nothing wrong to him When alex von heard about this he was sick to his stomach once again Odog had zero impulse control and you simply never knew who was next on this day The von brothers first considered turning him into police Odog no longer had any friends who trust him instead Just a bunch of dudes who are too scared to ever confront him And that takes us to the next day on june 31st 2016 robert von was found inside his car in angle wood This was another devastating loss to the von family and finally it was their last straw As a result of this alex von was completely distraught and he needed to take out his anger So he decided to go to a local shooting range and let out some stress Somehow he forgot he was a felon and this is an illegal activity So after showing the range his idea they were forced to say goodbye Just to call 911 and have him arrested at this point alex is thinking that the universe is simply unfair To lose another brother and then get locked up for something simple. Hey being locked up might have prolonged your life though What odog out there? Jill hey jill is a preservation of life when you in the streets or somebody is on your ass So Really? Oh my goodness all while odog is outside destroying the universe and never facing any consequences So after being arrested alex makes a very bold decision He decides to tell police every single thing odog has ever done He even tells them how goonie boss started in all of the little details. He shows them the facebook I'd be hard-pressed to believe that he had a He was in not in pc and jill pages of all of the members and all of the self-incriminating posts Essentially he tells them the entire story of goonie boss how they were initially peaceful and then how odog ruined everything This was extremely bold and chicago police had never seen anything like it before alex Even the police is astonished. He got to be in I don't know where Where are you at now? That's tough. That's a It's a tough choice to make Exponds single-handedly built a major riko case on goonie boss on october 26 2018 five goonie boss members were indicted 10 homicides in total nine of which done by odog himself upon his indictment odog was facing a total of 875 years because of this many people in chicago consider odog the worst that the streets have ever seen Chicago police even admit this themselves. In fact, they even conducted a study of when odog was in chicago versus out of town What they found out is that the crime rate in englandwood plummeted when odog was out of town That's how absolutely insane this man was It's truly a blessing that alex von had the courage to take him down in court as of today a total of 23 members Have either been curious to Alex von what are you on now? Evicted or are still fighting in court what will happen? Who knows but it's safe to say that these are some of the worst gd's in chicago history and to everyone out there Let this be a lesson that who you feel a little like
