Facebook is not the place to brag about your gang activity. Remember, the police are watching. Forty-nine members of the Brooklyn gangs the Rockstarz and the Very Crispy Gangsters were indicted this week for murder, attempted murder, and conspiracy. The gangs had been feuding for years, and had been using Facebook to threaten each other and brag about murders and other crimes they had committed. 

The Times was present at a press conference held by NYPD commissioner Ray Kelly and Brooklyn District Attorney Charles J. Hynes and shared this information: 

Two members of the Very Crispy Gangsters are dead, as is one member of the Rockstarz. There were 10 shootings over three years; one bullet, officials said, hit a 10-year-old boy who was in his apartment watching cartoons.

Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law—even if it's on Facebook.
