The Big Homies: A Short Story

Improved Essays
Allow me to tell you on how all of this begin. Rollin 80 crips originated in East Los Santos. This faction has progressed over the years. When the big homies left the block, a newer generation had decided to begin to progress. The big homie of the block was known to be "C80" and he was 30 years old. He would organize the gang missions, and how to continue to be leaders while in the gang. Over the years of 1990-92, C80 had got life in prison for committing a murder on a citizen in Los Santos. From that point on, it was getting out of hand in the gang with no control. Rollin 80s were beefing with their own members until it began to dial down when a new leader had stepped in. He was only at the age of 16, but had the mindset of controlling the gang until the big homies had got back home. From drug trafficking, to putting females on the blade, and he knew it all. Which was Lil C80, and he was infamous for putting in work. Never turning down fades, and running hands when it was suppose to be ran. Even the enemies were afraid of him, and half of the time they would turn down the fade before it even began. It wasn't a joke when it came to him, and he has earned his stripes.

When it was time to get put on in the set, apparently it only took 15 seconds for each member. Kicking them while jumping them in is disrespectful, and therefore that could be a punishment. Rollin 80s show loyalty to their members, if one was to get locked up and scheduled to a court date. Best to believe every single member would be in that courthouse to make sure it goes well. Even half of the police officers of Los Santos Police Department are afraid of Rollin 80s. Due to the fact, it is known that they will shoot back if it comes down to it. The gang is really vicious, and stay strict to the rules when it's going on. When getting put on the gang, you are taught to take every punch that is thrown. How are you going to take punches from the enemies like the baby

The video includes testimonies from criminal analysts and linguistics people to further explain the theory of “superpredators” conducted by John J.DiIulio Jr, and analyze if the study was the explanation to why youth delinquency was occurring, and could be applied to the Hardaway brothers.
