  1. Bloods v. Crips The Notorious Street Battle

  2. CRIPS • A 15 year old Fremont High School student named Raymond Washington started a gang called the Baby Avenues in 1969 in an attempt to be like the older gangs and copy the political activities carried out by other organizations such as the Black Panthers. The gang named itself the Avenue Cribs eventually and took on the nickname Cribs because most members were very young back then. The name Crips was first brought up in L.A. a Los Angeles newspaper in a article about young Cribs with canes, as if they were crippled. A lot of people believe the name came to existence because of a spelling error

  4. BLOODS • The Bloods street gang originated at the Centennial High School from the Piru gang, which took its name from Piru Street in Compton, California.  The Bloods formed to protect members from the Crips, and soon after, other street gangs, with the same motive, started using the names Piru and Bloods to signify their alignment with the main gang.  Although the Bloods street gangs, or sets, are a smaller group than the Crips, they are potentially dangerous, particularly when present in any numbers.

  5. BLOODS • The Bloods typically wear red • Sworn enemies with the Crips • Allies with anyone who considers Crips as enemies
