Almighty Black P. Stone Nation

The Black P. Stone Nation aka BPSN is a Chicago-based street gang estimated to have more than 30,000 members. The gang was originally formed in the late 1950s as the Blackstone Rangers. In later years, an Islamic faction of the gang emerged, naming themselves the "El Rukn tribe of the Moorish Science Temple of America" (or simply El Rukn). The group's founder is Jeff Fort. The BPSN finances itself through a wide array of criminal activities and is part of the large Chicago gang alliance known as the People Nation.

Territory

The BPSN originated, and is based, on the South Side of Chicago in the Woodlawn neighborhood. As of today, the gang has a strong presence in the Northwest Indiana communities of Gary and Merrillville with a growing presence in Portage, the northern area of Crown Point, as well as the western area of Hobart.

Intergang relations

Their main rivals are the Gangster Disciples (GD). Rivals include the entire Folk Nation. Their allies include People Nation gangs. BPSN has branched out to many different parts of the US, especially in the Midwest and the South.
