There have been gangs as long as there have been cities. They aren't there to fight about "cred", it is usually about drugs (and the associated territories), money laundering, and debt.
And I'm sure Flin Flon has some sort of gang connection, whether in town, or in the people who supply the drugs to those who sell them in town.
If you can get something illegal and not know its exact origin, chances are a gang made a profit somewhere along said items path.
I am just a very firm believer that Organized Crime will always exist, so it is better to have a professional organization (like HA or even the Italian Mob) than a bunch of clowns from some lawless SE Asian country who think it ok to shoot up restaurants and crowded streets. When the HA take care of business, nobody outside the HA and maybe some elite Gang Police units know what happened.
