  • South Brooklyn Boys (abbreviated as SBB) is a famous New York City street gang. In the 1950s, various Italian-American gangs were formed in South Brooklyn, New York City, and came together under the moniker of "South Brooklyn Boys" sometime around the 1950s. The gang has a mostly Italian American membership. At the time of its origin, SBB consisted of several smaller neighborhood greaser gangs that were located in what are now called Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Park Slope, Red Hook, Gowanus, and Boerum Hill sections of Brooklyn. Some of the gangs that made up the original South Brooklyn Boys were the South Brooklyn Devils, the Garfield Boys, the SB Angels, SB Diapers, the Wanderers, the Degraw St boys, the Sackett St Boys, the Butler Gents, the Gowanus Boys, the Kane St. Midgets, The Little Gents, and the Young Savages. The label South Brooklyn Boys represented the loosely connected affiliation that all of these neighborhood gangs associated under. In practice, these gangs sometimes had bitter disputes and fought with each other. The main body, simply referred to as "South Brooklyn" by many, was located in and around 3rd Street Park, which back in the 1950s was predominantly Italian. A small but fierce gang known as the "Jokers" was a bitter rival, led by a man known as "Cannonball." The two groups fought many times. The Jokers junior set was featured in Bruce Davidson's "Brooklyn Gang" book. Also bitter enemies of SBB were the Puerto Rican Gangs, The Untouchable Bishops, and the Apaches, and the African American gangs The Mau Maus, and the Chaplains. The 1962 book, All the Way Down: The Violent Underworld of Street Gangs by Vincent Riccio and Bill Slocum, featured real accounts of the Gowanus Boys. The gang was located in the Gowanus section of South Brooklyn, and was one of the earlier neighborhood crews that would evolve into the larger, loosely affiliated South Brooklyn Boys street gang. Reputed Lucchese mobster Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso was a famous member of the early South Brooklyn Boys, as was Carmine Persico, head of the Columbo family The gang has been loosely affiliated with and has worked for the Italian-American Mafia throughout its history to the present, but it is not an official Mafia crew. Since the 1970s, South Brooklyn Boys has represented not only the original 1950s gangs, but many generations of kids growing up in the traditional South Brooklyn area, most specifically the Italian section of Carroll Gardens and Gowanus. Since the recent gentrification in the early 2000s of the Carroll Gardens, Gowanus, and Red Hook area, the gang has increasingly been associated with and largely moved to what is now considered the actual geographical south of Brooklyn, including Bensonhurst, Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Sheepshead Bay, and Gravesend. The term South Brooklyn Boys has not only been used as a gang association, but also as a loosely connected affiliation for which many neighborhood kids felt a kinship. From the 1980s to the present, a new incarnation of the South Brooklyn Boys has been very active (source?). (en)

Il mafioso della Famiglia Lucchese fu uno dei primi membrid ella South Brooklyn Boys. La banda è stata liberamente affiliata e ha lavorato per la mafia italo-americana per tutta la sua storia fino ad oggi, ma non viene ritenuto ufficialmente un gruppo mafioso. Dagli anni '70 i South Brooklyn Boys non hanno rappresentato solo le bande originarie degli anni '50 ma molte generazioni di ragazzi cresciuto a Brooklyn Sud, in particolare l'area italiana di Carroll Gardens. Il termine non è solamente usato come associazione di bande, ma anche come "senso di appartenenza", per la quale molti ragazzi del vicinato sentivano un'affinità. Dagli anni '80 ad oggi, una nuova incarnazione dei South Brooklyn Boys è tornata molto attiva. (it)
