GlitzyTomb Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Like he said at some point the Blood Crip hostilities calmed down a bit. I don't know how close it is to starting up again like it was... But in time Crip sets (and I assume Blood sets too) that were near each other had their disagreements and started waring with each other. Weren't the Rollin 60's and Eight Tray both Crip sets? I think they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getzmunney Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I'm guessing this is the right topic to ask this in: what exactly are the Bloods and the Crips fighting over? Well Originally Crip meant"Community Restoration in Progress" they were the offspring of the BlackPanthers. A community based organization that helped uplift their peers. Bloods ofcourse,came after and took a more violent turn. Eventually the two became rivals adopting gang colors,slang and lifestyles Its best to just let him think what he wants.. hes hardheaded anyway.. It aint really about crips and bloods right now.. this aint the 80s/90s... Now its crip sets warring with each other n blood sets as well.. Im not gonna get into The Naybors and Movin gang beef which has been goin on for decades.. But thats one of the bloodiest wars here n thats crip on crip wat I'm just trying to find some insight as to what's going on with the gangs in real life. Surely, there must be a logical reason as to why the bloods and the crips, or whatever gang based out of South Central L.A. right now are shooting at eachother. Its too much to it.. it aint just about a blood or crip.. Its hundreds of different sets with diff politics and reasons for why they got problems with they enemy.

evoluon--720 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Do people In LA still use lowriders? Well im not saying blacks dont use Lowriders anymore-but the Latinos have adopted that side of the culture completely since the 90's. youre more likely to see Motorcycle Clubs in the black hoods nowdays.. It would be crazy if they include the infamous motorcycle clubs that cruise down Crenshaw.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No this is a lil touchy because i was born and raised in one of these hoods.. but it started over a simple fist fight between one dude from each set that led to one of the two getting shot and killed by a new member that tjought the fight was more than it was.. before that both sets got along and were close..

Though the violence is senseless some of it stems from school yard rivarly, family feuds, drugs,money, women. the same reasons Mafia fight/ kill eachother.. Just not organized/structured.

GlitzyTomb Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Classic story of damn near any even vaguely similar organization. Idealistic Founding Expansion Corruption of Ideals Progressives and Traditionalists Fragmentation Competition Amongst Fragments Sometimes (more often than not) Fighting between the Fragments ?

Official General Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) I'm guessing this is the right topic to ask this in: what exactly are the Bloods and the Crips fighting over? They are just like any other criminal gang who happen to have a long standing rivalry with another criminal gang. It does not really matter what started it. The Crips were around first, they split into two factions, the rebel faction became the Bloods, while the loyal faction remained being Crips. And since then the rivalry has developed into a long-standing one. No one even knows the real reason behind the rivalry, and there have been countless reasons that have been put forward. And as Getzmuney says, there is a lot of intra-gang conflict within both the Bloods and Crips these days, with various sets under the same umbrella gang at war with each other. A well-known one in LA is the Grape Street Crips vs the Eastside Crips. Edited May 28, 2013 by Official General Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getzmunney Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 The original crips were made to be based and structured off of the italian mob.. Tookie looked up to al capone and some other big names.. Also to "protect" from outsiders. Just lile the mob originally did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me what's behind all the senseless killings. Its only sensless to the outsiders, but to those doing the killing it makes perfect sense because its all we know. If its not over money, its because its what we know and have been programmed to like. Gangs are truely for the most part hereditary. Its only sensless for the psychos who do the killing for kicks, and those dont care if it makes sense or not, kills for thrills all that matters.

Official General Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) I'm all ears. Tell me what's behind all the senseless killings. Many killings involving gangs and organized crime are senseless. When you think about it, there is generally no need for it, they can avoid it most of the them, but certain elements within them just choose not for their own personal reasons, mostly due to being greedy and power-hungry. It's generally over money and profit from illegal activities such as the drug trade. The general purpose of organized crime is for criminals to band together for the greater good of each other in their pursuit of riches, power and wealth, not to be fighting each other. But they still end up fighting each other and killing each other, gangs, Mafia whatever, it is senseless most of the time.

Silentype Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) Earlier someone said something about Franklin and the gang being in between ballas turf and Vagos turf and that makes perfect sense. I think Franklin lives in the Compton/Ganton area of the game which is Mexican, Crip, and Blood I have a feeling he lives in or around the gta equivalent of baldwin hills, hence the killer hills reference in the trailer. Probably the jungles. Edited May 29, 2013 by Silentype Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Theft Savage Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 The ghetto won't be anything special. They focused more on other aspects as far as I can tell. To be honest, I'm glad they did. Too many complaints would come in about it being San Andreas all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many complaints would come in about it being San Andreas all over again. I don't really know what your definition of special is, but I do know that the ghetto will figure significantly in GTA V as long as Franklin is a protagonist. They are focused on a bit of everything equally from what I can see, I don't think they are focused on one area more than the other. Everywhere gets equal treatment, including the ghetto. You forgetting that LS is still based on LA, and that LA is still the center of gang culture in the U.S. And who gives a f**k about those who think the ghetto side of GTA V is San Andreas all over again ? I could not care less about their complaints, it's clear to see that Franklin is not CJ and his story or character does not bear much similarity to CJ''s own.

Bloods ofcourse,came after and took a more violent turn. Eventually the two became rivals adopting gang colors,slang and violent lifestyles The Panthers influenced the way the crips dressed, but ain't reason why crippin started. There's no record of tookie or Raymond being part of any black panther chapter. At the time I think the only panthers on the west coast were in Oakland California. Bumpy was killed @ UCLA campus before they were able to establish a chapter in L.A. But From what I hear Crips ain't do nothing to help the community. Just kids looking for something to attach themselves with no political agenda, just a gang of kids trying make name for themselves committing crimes. @universetwisters I do my best to summarize why niggas kill for they hood. Bloods & Crips kill over drugs. Back in the days gangs use to SQUARE UP, to settle there differences. Then drugs came in, & niggas started to kill over turf. Plenty of blood was shed. The more turf your hood had, the more money you made over the distribution of narcotics. For that reason plenty of blood was shed. People began mourn the departed, the grief transcended hate, sets began ride on enemy neighborhoods, for they dead 1's. The Animosity, remains throughout generations, Y's to OG's. Some niggas don't even know how even started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
