They spent the night there and when the store's employees arrived for work that morning they were greeted by the robbers. The four men terrorized the employees at gunpoint and then forced the store's manager to open the safe. They escaped with an estimated $6 million in jewels - the largest haul in San Francisco history. Among the four pulling off this successful heist were brothers Troy and Dino Smith. They were fairly well known to police, and were thought to be suspects in a slew of robberies during the '80s. When they stole, they stole everything. They never played it safe. They even robbed drug dealers. It was all good for a very long time. But their luck ran out shortly after the Lang job.Sun, 21 Dec 2008 14:33:07 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/american-gangster/5W9vhfJ1rrzhlu1_-Xpeiuvs-64-RyZxY1EgzA#a2008-12-21-14-32-57Before he became one of America's most famous death row inmates, Stanley Tookie Williams was best known as the co-founder of the Crips, a notorious Los Angeles gang that has terrorized the streets of South Central for more than 30 years. Williams initially despised gangs, but was determined to defend his turf during the late 60s. Intent on establishing himself as a leader, Williams dabbled in drugs, burglary and street fights and was constantly in and out of juvenile detention centers. At 17 he determined he wanted to be the leader of the biggest gang in the world and hooked up with another misguided teen, Raymond Washington, to form the Crips. The Crips crimes were well documented, including the alleged quadruple murder that sent Williams to jail for the rest of his life. In this episode you'll see the two sides of this very complex man, the body-building youth counselor and the cold-blooded killer, and explore Williams involvement in the Crips, their continuous battles with rival gang the Bloods, and the history of gangs in L.A. from WWII to the present.Sun, 21 Dec 2008 14:32:57 +0000
