| - The Savage Skulls are a mostly Puerto Rican and African American street gang started in the Hunts Point area of the Bronx during the late 1960s, gaining popularity in the 1970s. The gang declared war on the drug dealers operating in the Hunts Point area in the early 1970s, and was also involved in a number of running battles with rival gangs, including the Seven Immortals, Savage Nomads, and Dirty Dozen. The gang was photographed by Jean-Pierre Laffont in 1972 and were the subject of the 1979 documentary film 80 Blocks From Tiffany's. The leader of the gang was Felipe Mercado. Like the Savage Nomads, gang members would appropriate Nazi symbolism to project "how menacing and terrible they were." This included wearing swastikas, wearing Nazi helmets and having positions called "Gestapo" within the gang's ranks. (en)
- I Savage Skulls furono una banda criminale di strada formata da ispanici e afroamericani con sede nella zona di Hunts Point nel quartiere del Bronx a New York. Nacquero per aggregazione spontanea alla fine degli anni sessanta, acquisendo notorietà negli anni settanta. La gang dichiarò "guerra" agli spacciatori della zona durante i primi anni settanta. La banda era inoltre famigerata per il coinvolgimento in numerose risse e vere e proprie guerriglie urbane con altre gang rivali quali "Seven Immortals", "Savage Nomads" e "Dirty Dozen".Nel 1979 sui Savage Skulls fu girato il documentario , e i membri della gang furono fotografati da Jean Pierre Laffont nel 1972. Il leader della gang era Felipe Mercado. Come anche i Savage Nomads, i membri della gang si appropriarono della simbologia nazista per dimostrare "quanto fossero minacciosi e terribili". Questa abitudine includeva sfoggiare indumenti con impresse svastiche, indossare elmetti della Wehrmacht e un servizio di sicurezza chiamato "Gestapo" all'interno della banda. (it)
