I’ve also been harassed by other players from the community just because I RP with @Garras Up, which is honestly sad af. IFC is home to some of the most immature players on the server that make up lies to create drama. It’s a shame gtaw turned into this.

Straight out the 503 🤘

Go brazy then

The South Side Deadly Insane Assassins, or S/S DIA for short, are a predominately Hispanic tag-banger crew that originated in Rancho, Los Santos, circa 2002. The crew was formed by childhood friends who were attending the George Patton Memorial JR High School at the time. In the crew's earliest days they were known as Down Into Action (DIA) and were a simple group of friends who bonded through graffiti art. In 2008 the crew's crimes shifted from artistic graffiti and small-time drug dealing to something more violent after one of the crew's founding members was murdered. TAGGERS TO TAG-BANGERS While loosely operating across South Los Santos, the DIA crew diversified their crimes throughout the late 2000s. They moved on from graffiti sprees and selling weed around their school grounds, involving themselves more with burglaries, armed robberies, and car thefts. Simultaneously, the DIA clique started rivalries with other tag-banging crews like More Than Krazy (MTK), Addicted To Crime (ATC), and their associated Sureño gangs. Their biggest rivalry to date has been with a Strawberry-based tag-banging crew called Ready For Trouble (RFT). RFT was aligned with the Mara Salvatrucha (MS13) across South Los Santos. Resultantly, MS13 got involved in the DIA crew's beef with RFT. The beef with RFT exploded in 2008 when DIA founding leader, Dustin “Troops” Cordoba, was shot dead at the B.J. Smith Recreation Center and Park in Chamberlain Hills. He was 20 years old. Cordoba was murdered during what was supposed to be a one-on-one fistfight with an RFT founding member. Upon arriving at the fight’s ostensible location he was ambushed. He was shot over 20 times by Freddy “Huero” Maldonado, who was accompanied by an unidentified Mara Salvatrucha gang-banger. The DIA crew violently retaliated on the same night of Cordoba’s homicide. The clique's last living founding members went on a killing spree across South Los Santos where they attacked several rival crews and street gangs in one day. These attacks caused the deaths of three other rival gang members who were found loitering outside of Chamberlain Centennial High School. The school was a hangout location for RFT. At this location two teenage RFT members, along with one adult MS13 member suspected of being Maldonado’s accomplice, were found shot in the head. The nature of the killings suggested that the three gang members were taken by surprise as they stood outside of the high school’s south entrance. The DIA affiliates who carried out the shooting were arrested and criminally charged by the Los Santos Police Department (LSPD) within a week. They were remanded at the Men’s Central Jail in Downtown, Los Santos... charged and to be tried as adults. While they were awaiting trial, Freddy Maldonado survived a homicide attempt, during which he was shot in the neck. He was visiting his disabled grandfather at his home in Strawberry. His 78-year-old grandfather was also shot and killed in the incident. The shooting rendered Maldonado paralyzed from the neck down, and to this day he is still disabled. Maldonado’s attempted killers have never been identified... and his grandfather’s homicide has been a cold case since 2009. TAG-BANGING ERA Following a lengthy and backlogged bureaucratic process through the criminal justice system, the DIA's three last living founding members were convicted in 2010. Life sentences were given to two of them for the homicides, whereas the last member received a 50-year sentence for being an accessory to the triple murder. They’re all still serving out their sentences at the Bolingbroke Penitentiary in Los Santos County. Throughout the 2010s the DIA crew emulated a street gang that was more akin to a Sureño or 18th Street (XV3) gang offshoot than an actual graffiti crew. They had distinguished tattoos, wore unique clothing with specific logos and colours, and adopted hand signs as a way of identifying themselves as being part of the DIA clique. They moved beyond writing their names on the wall and began taking a page out of the local gangs' books. DIA started to become heavily involved in the sales of hard drugs and continued violent rivalries with other crews. Makeshift drug labs were converted from abandoned housing project units and detached homes around South Central. MODERN TIMES DIA was heavily rumoured to have been disbanded sometime around 2017-2020. Many of the crew's members vanished from the gangland and tagging scene over the years, supposedly because they “grew out” of the lifestyle. Others were murdered by rival crew members or rival street gangs, some ended up in jail for their criminal activities in the streets of South LS. As of mid-2021, a new generation of DIA affiliates has resurfaced in Rancho, Los Santos. Little is known about how they're currently operating, although its members have been described by locals in South Central as being extremely young, careless, and sometimes extremely unpredictable and violent. The DIA is presently a tag-banger crew that is currently walking the borders between tag-banging and becoming a street gang. OOC INFORMATION The goal of this faction is to portray a small, up-and-coming tag-banger crew. We're portraying a fictional version of the former Los Angeles clique called Deadly Insane Assassins, a/k/a Down Into Action (DIA). Once the faction is ready and has been developed enough, we'll be turning into a full-fledged Sureño set called Diablos 13 (DIA13) that's situated in South Central. All of us will role-play young characters (12-16) to begin with. We want our RP to depict a ruthless, unorganized (at least in its early stages), and an extremely territorial group of tag-bangers, living for the thrill they get out of dangerous situations. Although DIA is starting as a tagger crew, they'll also be heavily involved in South Central's gang scene. The group's main focus is to maintain their fearsome reputation in the streets, making as many enemies as possible. Alcohol & drug abuse will play an extremely important role in the way our characters are portrayed. Social media will also be utilized a lot. Members from DIA will show their affiliation in several ways. The main way is with tattoos, but the other big one is wearing caps/clothing by the Detroit Tigers or Los Angeles Dodgers. They're also sometimes spotted wearing all-black clothing with black Nike Cortez shoes on. Character development is very important in this faction. Anyone attempting to join simply for the action without developing their character accordingly to IC events and the crew's current portrayal will be subject to removal from the group.

Oh shit she's back 👀
