V-Town Playboys Gangster Crips [PBGC] are a predominately African-American street gang located in a West LS neighborhood in Vespucci Canals. At its height, this neighborhood's turf went from the La Puerta 10 Freeway (South) to 18th Street (North) from San Andreas Boulevard (East) to Bay City Avenue (West) during the 1980s and 1990s. In 1987, City Attorney James Hahn requested the first injunction against an entire gang in this neighborhood. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed an appeal on behalf of the PBGS, and a judge eventually denied Hahne's request because the gang injunction as it was written as a violation of the First Amendment right of freedom of association to the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment rights to due process. A couple of months later, Hahn went back to court with a modified version of his initial injunction and was able to get a judge to approve a preliminary injunction against the ACLU's recommendations. Since the 1980s, this mostly African-American community has seen an influx of Hispanic immigrants into this working class neighborhood that has reduced the size of the Black community and the membership of the gang, which still exists in the same area. West Los Santos (or WLS, West LS) & South Central are different in many ways, both in & outside of the gang politics, but it also has some similarities. West LS gang banging is different from South Central gang banging. - Playboy Gangster Crips (3x/GC) - School Yard Crips (Formerly 2x but do not claim neither 2x or 3x in current times) - Vespucci Shoreline Crips (2x) - West Boulevard Crips (2x) - Graveyard Gangster Crips (3x) - Mansfield Gangster Crips (3x) - Blastin Fools Gangster Crips (3x) - By Yourself Gangster Crips (3x) - Marvin Gangster Crips (3x) WLS gangs are made up of Deuces (2x), Trays (3x/Gangster Crips) & Mexican gangs such as Culver City Boys 13, Vespucci 13 & Del Perro 13, just to name a few. Many people confuse the 2x car with Neighborhood Crips which is not the case. Both cars are affiliated with each other, but they're not the same. Some well known WLS gangs consist of: - Playboy Gangster Crips (3x/GC) - School Yard Crips (Formerly 2x but do not claim either 2x or 3x in current times) - Vespucci Shoreline Crips (2x) - West Boulevard Crips (2x) - Graveyard Gangster Crips (3x) WLS has more of a suburban setting versus South Central where they have much more hoods & ghettos. WLS is more at risk for gentrification due to the high value of the houses & other property throughout different neighborhoods in the area. For this reason, WLS gangs hustle and grind a lot more to keep from being pushed out of the community. WLS gangs are also prone to gang injunctions as part of the process of gentrification; the Playboy Gangster Crips had a gang injunction back in 1987, which was an attempt to dismantle the gang but ultimately failed. For this reason, WLS gangs are not known to be super reckless/crash dummies as a gang to stay off the radar of law enforcement but regardless, these gangs still push their line and put on for the set. For several years prior to 2020, crime in Vespucci Beach had generally been on a downward trajectory. It is nearly impossible to pinpoint any single, overarching reason for the rebound, but experts have pointed to a range of possible contributing factors including economic insecurity, school closures and isolation from the pandemic. Police have also blamed a proliferation of easily accessible ghost guns along with bail and sentencing reforms they say allow repeat offenders to quickly return to the streets after an arrest. In March 2021, then-Chief of Police Robert Luna also pointed the finger at emergency measures to reduce jail populations during the pandemic meant to slow the spread of the deadly disease. “Prisons and jails have released large numbers of inmates to reduce the risk of exposure; more repeat offenders are being released on bail; trials and other court proceedings have experienced significant delays; school closures and lack of programming has negatively impacted youth engagement; and, with a record number of gun sales in 2020, there are more guns on the street,” he said. Police say they worked to take more guns off the streets as shootings in Vespucci Beach spiked during the first half of 2021 and the number of people wounded in those shootings also rose 55% as of July. Shootings have risen sharply since 2019, when the city recorded 122, to 544 in 2021, according to LSPD data. Overall, gun arrests were up 36% in 2021 as police have poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into increased patrols and operations to take illegal weapons off the streets, including a buyback program that gave residents a way to get rid of unwanted firearms in exchange for gift cards. A buyback event in October resulted in a total of 280 guns being turned in. Police found, however, that the guns being turned in were not necessarily those they were trying to link with shooting cases. In July, Luna said his officers—including specialized gun seizure teams—were taking an average of about 21 guns per week off the city’s streets. “I’m telling you right now that if our officers weren’t out there doing that proactive work, I don’t know where our shootings and murder rates would be right now,” Luna said at the time. In the time since its inception, the LSPD’s specialized Coordinated Response Team seized over 150 firearms. The department as a whole seized 1,057 firearms in 2021, a 37.3% increase from 2020, according to a city statement. The city says 2021 also ended on a positive note when it comes to gun violence. There were only 26 shooting incidents in December 2021 compared to the 53 reported in December 2020, according to the LSPD. “While gun violence continues to be at an increased level, it has been substantially reduced over the course of 2021 through the various strategies implemented by the Police Department and supporting departments,” police said in a statement. Meanwhile, property crime slightly decreased compared to 2020, which police have attributed to a reduction in petty thefts, garage burglaries, commercial burglaries and bike thefts. They said these categories declined 54.1%, 37.1%, 26.8% and 21.9%, respectively.

104 HARD TIME HUSTLER CRIPS The W/S 104 Hard Time Hustler Crips (104 HTHC) are a predominantly African-American Hustler Crips street gang located in west Rancho, Los Santos. Their neighborhood stretches between Innocence Boulevard (north) and Macdonald Street (south) from Roy Lowenstein Boulevard (west) to Jamestown Street (east). They are one of four to fall under the Hard Time Hustler Crip umbrella, alongside 78 Hard Time Hustler Crips, 88 Hard Time Hustler Crips, and 103 Hard Time Hustler Crips. The 104 Hard Time Hustler Crips are the largest sub-set of the Hard Time Hustler Crips and are part of the Rollin 100s (Crips) alliance and fall under the Neighborhood Crips/Deuce (2X). The Rollin 100's Crips, also known as the Rich Rollin 100's Crips (commonly spelled Rollin "Hunnit" Crips) consists of several individual African-American sub-sets of Crips. Allies & Rivals The Hard Time Hustler Crips have a strong alliance with the East Side Hustler Crips. All Crip gangs under the Rollin 100's Crips alliance are rivals of the Hoover Criminal Gangs. Other rivals include 8-Tray Gangster Crips, Innocence Family Gangster Bloods, and most gangs under the Gangster Crips umbrella. GANG CLIQUES The 104 Century Riches clique is one of 104 Hard Time Hustler Crips' first official cliques, founded in 1993 by BuccaChucc at the behest of OG Nasty. The clique originally formed as a clique to hold parties and connect with allied neighborhoods before becoming the main clique. Over time, other cliques began to form with younger members and Century Riches became a clique consisting mostly of older gang members who were responsible for the cashflow of the gang and heavily regulating other cliques. The 104 Sudden Death Gang was founded in 2016 by Big Greedy after Joseph "Sudden Death#2" Boutaire was shot and killed at a gas station by 112 Hoover Criminals after a Rollin 100's function. The Sudden Death Gang is primarily a clique consisting of young shooters and frontliners, responsible for hood offense and protecting the neighborhoods. The clique is therefore known to put-on younger members, often preteens, to help frontline for the gang in many of its conflicts, especially the ongoing conflict between the Rollin 100's Crips alliance and Hoover Criminals.

Detailed Description Remove the Nazi imagery from the tattoo update. I find this pushes the bar a bit too far and should not be on the server. Literal SS signs and swastikas have no place here in my opinion. Relevant Commands/Items: N/A How will it benefit the server? There will not be literal Nazi imagery on the server

it's RP. I RP an Aryan Brother and trust me I do not support these views, it's not defending nazi imagery at all. This just helps immerse and helps with others seeing the tattoos at first glance.

LS BUSINESS DIGEST Exploring the White Widow: A Review BY LS Business Digest Los Santos, SA – Take a trip to Palomino Avenue in Vespucci some night and you will discover a quaint little nightclub called White Widow. One of our night club reviewers headed down there on Wednesday Night. Read on to find out their verdict! Entry Fee – 4/5 Stars The price to get in was just $600 dollars. You don’t have to wait outside like other clubs as the line forms inside. This club doesn’t feature a metal detector but that is only a problem for the security-conscious consumer. The bouncer at the front door was not really the friendliest person but there could be many reasons for this. However, I for one did not receive one smile from the bouncer when I showed up. On the bright side, the White Widow does take both cash and cards as a modern business establishment should, and you can rest assured knowing that there will be no quick dash to the bank or ATM to withdraw some cash required! Parking – 2/5 Stars Parking is always a concern when it comes to a nightclub. The parking at White Widow has both good and bad points. The good side is that there is a parking lot available for the customers. The bad side is that if you are not at White Widow right when it opens then you’ll be out of luck when it comes to getting a parking spot. The entire street corner near the nightclub is red zoned for emergency vehicles only. Parking in the red zone will put you at risk of a hefty ticket! If you want to come to White Widow then arrive early to get the best parking available. Atmosphere – 5/5 Stars: White Widow features a great atmosphere if you like small, overcrowded nightclubs with limited seating. Nonetheless, sometimes nightclubs with limited space can be more fun! Neon lights play to the beat of the music and the nightclub was very LOUD making it hard to understand what any of my friends were saying. The dance floor was PACKED with many people dancing and having a great time. The DJ for the night, DJ Cage, did a fantastic job at keeping the floor engaged with a great mixture of hip hop and rap songs. The only con for White Widow was the seating arrangements. There was only one sofa for guests to relax on, but who needs seating when you can be out there showing off your amazing dance moves? Bar Service 3.1/5 Stars: The bar is situated at the back of the nightclub, and it was the second most crowded place in White Widow. I found it a bit challenging to find a spot so that my friend could buy me a drink. However, we eventually managed to get a cozy spot at the corner of the bar. The service was lackluster as it seemed that the bartender was a bit tired or overworked by the sheer number of customers ordering drinks. Hopefully, the bartender got good tips and pay, but management of White Widow should consider hiring more bartenders for future openings. Conclusion & Final Score: White Widow is a great nightclub choice when you are out and about and looking for a place to party. The music is loud here, and the dance floor is crowded enough where you will be constantly bumping into other people. However, the blinding lights and general darkness of the interior will make you forget all about the above! Solid affordable choice to party your night at. Tallying up the score of the four subsections. White Widow receives a final score of: > Comments are enabled Username: Comment:
