As I heard there is a large Mafia presence in Poland with Pruszkow and Wolomin Mafia.

And I heard those two groups have a big presence in new york and Chicago among other cities but they are really low-key. they hang out with the russians in US

there are a lot of football hooligans (also known as ultras)

if you go to... for example... warsaw, and warsaw has a soccer team called legia
and your just wearing the Legia soccer jersey in a different city in poland. you will likely to get jumped or jacked. always if you will be walking in a city full of people like NYC, you have to be careful of getting your cellphone, wallet, etc. stolen. people will grab it like THAT!

Well, from my youth, there was some serious fights between fans of music bands Republika and Lady Pank. I do still have a scar on my head from a brick. But I got the one who has throwed it. Let's just say, he did end up worse then me...

Really..i have never heard of people having a punch up over musical differences...its a new one on me...I thought it was just football...

Mind you..we had the Mods and Rockers going at it in the UK some years ago...but that was more about lifestyle , not just music...oh..and the fact us Rockers rode proper mens machines..and not girlie hair dryers...

Here it was also about lifestyle... somewhat. We considered Republika fans to be conformists. After Borysewicz's stunt we were going to Metalmanias (haevy metal rock concerts in Katowice, in Spodek). We were fighting Skinheads then, for some reason they were against metal music. Our battlecry of that time was "Bij skina skurwysyna" (Beat skinhead, the motherfuc*er(?) in Polish it has rhyme)

These guys are not street-gangs. They are rather interested i sport activities and healthy lifestyle.
