Last week, Melbourne newspaper readers were greeted by the news that a group of Arab youths had formed a gang called, of all things, Arabian Soldiers Arab Defenders and were squabbling with their rivals on the other side of the city. The story was accompanied by three gangsters of supposedly Middle Eastern appearance with their faces concealed:
“Give it tomorrow, give it a year. We will hit back 10 times harder,” said Ronni, leader of northern gang ASAD or Arabian Soldiers Arab Defenders.
Let’s face it, nothing says “tough guy” quite like a paisley handkerchief wrapped cowboy-style around one’s face. And Ronni is one of the most menacing monickers for a gang leader since Tookie burst on to the scene.

I think there should be an award for the best gangster hand gesture…
There are some unique ones displayed above. It seems as though gangsters have moved away from the traditional West Side hand gesture and put some creative touches and refined the look of the hand gesture/pose.
Take pic 3 for example this hand gesture is called the “Talking Duck” and pic 9 named “The nipple twister”.
Art at its best people.
The first picture explodes the myth that all gangstas are homophobic or exclusively heterosexual.
As for the name “Ronni”, then it conjures up images of hardened tough guys like Fonzie in Happy Days.
Brother, Ronni and ASAD are more West Side Story than West Side Gangstas or anything else. Ronni is more likely to Michael Buble or Harry Connick Jr warbling in his car than Tupac. If you look closely, you’ll see his shoulder width is roughly that of a 10 year old child so it wouldn’t surrpise me if him and his crew get around Melbourne in a peddle-powered noddy car.
Never mind the crap name, A.S.A.D. are deadly serious. Here is what appears to be a recruiting video, featuring Ronni.
