The Bloods and the crips are easily some of the most violent and famous gangs to ever be created. They were both founded in Los Angeles. These two gangs have been rivals for about their entire history as a gang. The Crips were founded in 1969 by Raymond Washington and Stanley Williams. Not long after that , the Bloods formed from a lot of smaller gangs including the Pirus to become rivals for the Crips. They decided to become a gang because they were very tired of the Crips killing other gang members and them not having enough people to do it. This term paper will document the history of the Bloods and the Crips from the attacks, and the drugs they would distribute. …show more content…
Some Crip members murdered a member of the pirus which is what began to cause them to realize that the Crips were too big of a group for them to fight by themselves. The straw that broke the camel’s back so to speak, was when some Crip members robbed and killed a man by the name of Robert Ballou Jr. This is what really made all of the smaller gangs realize that they need each other to even compete with the Crips. They had a meeting with each other and decided to band together and become the Bloods. Now that they are bigger and have more sets now the Bloods can really be rivals for the Crips. This was a real turning point in their feud because even though the Crips were still a larger group it is a lot more even now that the Bloods are beginning to grow even in
