9 nabbed in probe into Fall River gangs
FALL RIVER, Mass. -- Authorities have arrested nine people, including a man believed to be the head of the Mafioso gang, following a year-long investigation into local gang activity.
Local, state and federal authorities collaborated to make the arrests -- five of which were made this morning. The charges vary, but are related to drug distribution and possession of illegal firearms.
Authorities -- including the federal Drug Enforcement Agency and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms -- held an afternoon press conference in Fall River to announce the arrests.
Two gang members remain at large, they said.

I feel as though people make theese people sound like monsters. I feel like theese men were labeled guilty before they were found guilty. But they're black and this is America...
