Three members of violent Hobos gang sent to prison for life

Three members of the violent Hobos super gang were sentenced to life in prison on Friday for their role in multiple slayings that were part of a vast drug trafficking conspiracy.

U.S. District Judge John Tharp gave life sentences to Paris Poe, Arnold Council, and Gabriel Bush one day after sentencing Gregory "Bowlegs" Chester, 40, reputed leader of the gang, to 40 years in prison.

Tharp on Thursday also sentenced Stanley "Smiley" Vaughn, another reputed Hobos leader, to 20 years in prison, the maximum possible, for his involvement in two slayings and five attempted murders. Vaughn was ordered to serve the sentence on top of a nearly 22-year prison term he is already serving for a separate conviction for conspiring to distribute heroin downstate.

Prosecutors alleged that the Hobos represented a new breed of gang whose members came from once rival gangs. Many of the Hobos started out in factions of the Gangster Disciples and Black Disciples street gangs in the now-demolished Robert Taylor and Ida B. Wells public housing complexes, according to prosecutors.

Prosecutors said Poe, Council and Bush played key roles as gunmen in the gang's crimes. Poe killed two government informants, one in 2006 and another in 2013, which prosecutors wrote in their sentencing memo were "fitting 'bookends'" for the Hobos' racketeering conspiracy.

The first killing occurred in January 2006, when prosecutors say Poe and Council gunned down Wilbert "Big Shorty" Moore, a cooperating witness, after he walked out of a South Side barber shop.

In April 2013, Poe cut off an electronic monitoring device and ambushed informant Keith Daniels outside the Dolton apartment where he had been placed by authorities for his safety, according to prosecutors. Dressed in all black and wearing a mask, Poe shot Daniels more than a dozen times in front of his fiancee and two young children as payback for Daniels' cooperation with the FBI in a drug conspiracy case, authorities said.

Apparently, these gangbangers didn't get the memo that "black lives matter." And Hobos is a fitting name, because they're all a bunch of degenerate bums. Save taxpayer money and just shoot them in the head behind the jail.
