In the 1940s, the Klan began using bombings of their homes to scare blacks who had moved into the "wrong" neighborhood. In 1944, the IRS filed a lien against the Klan for over $600,000 and it was forced to disband. Its numbers by then had dwindled to about 10,000.
During the 1950s, to the present day, the Klan has disintegrated into separate small groups with different purposes depending on location. Their issues today have been updated to illegal immigration and same-sex marriage. Other Klan groups have become neo-Nazi skinheads. It is estimated that their total membership in 2008 is about 6,000.
Outlaws Motorcycle Gang
The Outlaws Motorcycle Gang, one of the biggest outlaw gangs in the country, formed in 1935 in McCook, Illinois. It now has over 200 "gangs" in several countries. Only men who own a specific-size motorcycle can join the club. Their main rival gang is Hell's Angels.
The gang is among the most violent motorcycle clubs in the world. Late last year, an entire chapter of the gang in the U.K. were sentenced to 191 years in prison for shooting a Hells Angels biker in the back at random.
The F.B.I., in the last few years, has raided numerous Outlaws' "clubhouses" in Illinois, Florida, Massachusetts, and several other states to confiscate weapons and drugs. In 2006, an Outlaws' gang member was arrested in the murder of a man who was wearing a Hells Angels t-shirt. It turned out he was not a member of the Hells Angels gang. Incidents like this are too numerous to mention. They are predominantly located in the southern U.S.
