BLOODS
The Bloods are one of Los Angeles, California's street gangs. They are identified by the red color worn by their members and their gang symbol. The Bloods are made up of various sub-groups known as "sets" between which significant differences exist such as colors, clothing, and operations. Since their formation the Blood gangs have branched out throughout the United States, and have even influenced youth groups using the same name in Europe
Starting in late 1971, the Avalon Garden Crips, Inglewood Crips and various other Crip sets joined forces. They began to expand to non-Crip gang territories such as those controlled by The L.A. Brims, a powerful street gang that had been formed in 1969. Due to the encroachments of the Crips, several gangs eventually became part of the Blood family, including the Bishops and Athens Park boys. The Denver Lanes also had conflicts with the Crips, but were outnumbered and eventually became unknown in California for some time. The Piru Street Boys, who presented a powerful force in Compton, actually collaborated with the Crips prior to 1972, as the Crips had affected the Piru neighborhoods.
CRIPS
The 83 Gangster Crips (pronounced Eight-Tray Gangster Crips) are one of LA's most well known Crip Gangs. ETG's were strongly involved in the 1992 Los Angeles riots and were seen wearing "Locs" (sun glasses), black bandanas, and white T-shirts. Their Crip rivals include all of the N'hood Crips and the Rollin' sets, especially Rollin' 60 Crips. The ongoing feud between Rollin' 60 and ETG has been a bloody one, causing more Crip on Crip killing than with the rival Bloods. Other rival sets include the 67 Neighborhood Crips and the Inglewood Family Gang, a Bloods set.
They are also rival to all "rollin 0s" gang which would include the Rollin 40s and the Rollin 90s. They also have a rivalry with all "NeighborHood" or "NH" gangs including the 67 NeighborHood Crips (67 NHC), located on the north side of their territory. They are rivals to all Blood gangs but their main Blood rivalry is with the Inglewood Family Gang (IFG) located to the west of their territory but it must be noted that their rivalry with the Rollin' 60s Crips is stronger than with any blood gang. Their Crip rivalries include: Rollin 30's, 40NH, 55NH, 57NH, 58NH, 60NH, 67NH, 90NH, 100'S NH, NH103, 111NH, 112NH, 115NH, UnderGround Crips, BCG, Menlo Crips, BudLong Crips, Geer Gang, 99 Mafia Crips, 87 Gangsta Crip, and all Mexican street gangs.
The ETGs have the largest black gang territory in the entire county of Los Angeles occupying an area of 2.59 square miles. Their territory extends from Florence (north) to 89th (south) between Vermont (east) to Van Ness Ave (west). Their territory also extends on the westside to Van Ness between 79th Street (north) and Manchester (south).
As of November 2007, the Eight Tray's and the Inglewood Families have called a truce, due to their equal hatred towards the Rollin 60's.
The crips are a primarily, but not exclusively, african-american gang founded in L.A, California in 1969 mainly by 16 years-old Raymond Washington and Stanley Tookie Williams 3. What was once a single ganga is now a loosely connected netwrok of individual sets, often engaged in open warfare with one another.
