Neta

Pronounced "Nee-Et-ah" and usually written as Ñeta to reflect that pronunciation...Neta is an association (sometimes called a gang though most members dont like it being called that) started in Oso Blanco Prison in Puerto Rico. Started by Carlos Torres Irriarte and began as a movement for prisoner rights to protect weaker inmates being extorted, or abused physically mentally or sexually. It spread quickly to the U.S.A. and into the streets and is still prevalent in the US and many Latin American countries. Especially prevalent in the Northeast U.S. (NY, NJ, CT, RI, MA). It was started in Puerto Rico but accepts all races and creeds. Some of the O.G. Netas don't rep on the streets but many still do rep ñeta and is classified as a street gang by law enforcement and gang enforcement/intelligence even though Members consider it more if an ASSOCIATION/way of life or code to live by. The name represents 2 things...Puerto Rican Natives would hold their new born babies to the sky and say "neta, neta, neta"...also it stands for "Never Ever Tolerate Abuse" (The colors are red, white, and blue with blue often being substituted with black. The colors represent the PR Flag as well as Red for the Blood shed, white representing peace and tranquility, black representing the mourning for those who've died. They are very secretive and a lot less gang intelligence is known about them due to this.
