Allow us to introduce ourselves; on behalf of all of the West Side Jungles leadership and high council we'd like to hold ourselves up to a pretty high standard of roleplay and we say that in the humblest way possible. Instead of instantly trying to role-play with the faction, it is recommended that you join our Discord server for a more in-depth look behind the factions infrastructure and how we operate as a whole. https://discord.gg/W3xFxJp5 Keep in mind that before making your character, the community is the key. We're portraying a street-gang within a community, however, if you are looking for something higher to tie it all together, this is where our emphasis on our community development and interaction comes into play. Our ultimate goal is to portray a realistic street gang with a community like atmosphere within the Chamberlain Hills neighborhood. It is imperative that you check it frequently to stay up to date with the conversations and topics that are present revolving the faction within the Discord. If you're not serious about role-playing with us and don't have any quality role-play to contribute to the faction then don't even bother joining because you will be weeded out and removed without a warning. The faction itself consists of a majority of American-time zoned members (GMT -4 to GMT -8), however, there are quite a few members in the European timezone (GMT 0), so people should keep in mind that you will probably catch people in-game no matter what timezone you are in. Every day is different, so our "peak" times cannot be specified. You will most likely catch more members online during the night time and sometimes during the afternoon due to school and work (between 2:00 PM and 12:00 PM).

The West Side (W/S) Black P. Stones Jungles are one of two Black P. Stones sets that were both started in South Los Santos, San Andreas by T. Rodgers in the late 1960s. The Black P. Stones Jungles first emerged in San Andreas in 1969 and operated in the Strawberry area. Their territory is located in the "Chamberlain district" and resides in the once exclusive Chamberlain Hills Housing Projects, behind the Chamberlain Hills Plaza (Crenshaw Mall) between Chamberlain Blvd. and Davis Blvd. Over the years the Black P. Stones grew into one of the larger gangs in South Los Santos. There are an estimated 700 members of the Black P. Stones, 400 of whom live in Chamberlain Village. Prior to the Jungles becoming BPS there was a gang in the area known as "Green Jackets" during the very early 1970s. The Jungle Stone Bloods were responsible for starting the conflict between the 18th Street Gang and various west side Blood gangs in 1994. The Black P. Stone City Side Bloods would later join the conflict, followed by the Rollin 20s Neighborhood Bloods by 1996. More recently the Fruit Town Brims became the 4th Blood gang to join the conflict against the 18th Street Gang. Other rivals of The Jungle Stones include the Rollin 40s Neighborhood Crips, Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips, Playboy Gangster Crips, the Geer Gang Crips and the West Boulevard Crips. They are friendly towards the Rollin 20s Neighborhood Bloods, Fruit Town Brims as well as the Athens Park Bloods. The Jungles a/k/a Chamberlain Hills Village \The City Attorney's Office is cracking down on a South Los Santos apartment building, it describes as a hotbed for a notorious gang in the area, the Black P-Stones. But concern has been expressed over the timing: Los Santos is in the midst of a dire housing crisis, and some folks in communities like this one, known locally as the Jungles, fear that such actions are a symptom of the kind of gentrification that is pushing minorities out of homes via increasing rents and evictions. The real estate in the community formally known as Chamberlain Village, a neighborhood made famous as a setting for the film Training Day, could be considered on the rise as Metro is working on a new, 8.5-mile rail line a few blocks from the city attorney's target. Observers say crime in recent years has been historically low in the complex's greater Southwest Los Santos area, which has seen a 3.8 percent decrease in reports of month-to-month violence, according to Los Santos Police Department data. “Crime is all-time low in the Jungles,” he says. “No one is really complaining. But there is a massive redevelopment and gentrification plan in that area, the likes of which is almost always preceded by some law enforcement action to satisfy the developers.” “Gang injunctions, lawsuits, police sweeps and crackdowns are the exact worst way to deal with the gang problem,” he said. “This simply increases the cycle of arrest and incarceration, racial profiling and ramp-up in police power all under the guise of stopping gang activity. The injunction by the Los Santos City Attorney's office is even more problematic given that crime is way down, homicides have plunged and gang activity in South Los Santos has markedly dropped. The evidence that gang activity at the Chamberlain Village apt complex is equally scanty. The better approach to any real gang uptick is to increase in jobs, job training and skills programs, more recreational and support services and facilities for at-risk young men, not feel-good, symbolic legal actions such as injunctions.” The city attorney's response to the criticism is documentation of a long list of alleged ill behavior by the P-Stones, an outpost of a Chicago-based gang that was established as a community organization in the area in 1969. Since 1996, the target of prosecutors' ire, the high school–adjacent, 425-unit Chesapeake Apartments at 4616 Rodeo Road has been the location of more than 2,900 arrests, many gang-related. Prosecutors say the complex has been the location of full-on murders and “multiple shootings and armed robberies.” Of course, all that could be connected to the bad old days portrayed in Training Day. But the City Attorney's Office alleges that in recent months an undercover officer has made 12 rock cocaine buys at the complex. The city's crackdown comes in the form of an abatement lawsuit against the property's owner, Pama V Properties. It alleges that the complex is “completely controlled by BPS gang members. The complaint against Pama V Properties includes a photo of a gang member's back tattoos that include the word Jungles and an image of the postwar apartments. “The property has been plagued by crime in recent decades,” the Superior Court filing states. “Negligent, callous management has allowed the Chesapeake Apartments to become a hotbed of terror in this neighborhood,” City Attorney Kyle Feuer said in a statement. “We’ll continue to hold property owners responsible for these harrowing conditions as we take back our communities.” The legal action against the owner calls the complex a public nuisance and seeks an injunction against gang and criminal activity at the 17-acre property. Prosecutors also want “secure fencing and gating throughout the property’s perimeter, an internet-connected video monitoring system, improved lighting, improved tenant screening and lease enforcement procedures, and armed, licensed security guards,” according to a summary of the suit. Racial Tensions --- BPS V. 18ST For years, Walker has patrolled Chamberlain Village. He grew up nearby in the 1960s when the area was mostly Japanese and black. Back then, he said, teenagers did not feel life-or-death pressure to join gangs, as they do now. Walker sighed as he talked about how it has changed. “All this used to be extremely nice,” he said, driving past Chamberlain Village apartment buildings whose pastel paint is crumbling. He used to attend parties in the area when the buildings’ courtyards had large swimming pools. Now the pools are covered with concrete. He turned a corner, driving past a shuttered senior center with “BPS” scrawled across its front. “It used to be an upper-middle class neighborhood,” Walker said, “Mostly white and black.” Chamberlain Village used to be called “the Jungle” for its tropical trees and foliage, like the palms, banana trees and begonias that thrived among tropical-style postwar apartment buildings. The Los Santos City Council changed the name 16 years ago, after residents complained that it reinforced the neighborhood’s image as a wild and menacing place. They renamed it Chamberlain Village, hoping to reflect the affluent and peaceful, mostly black -- Chamberlain Hills neighborhood nearby. Walker turned up a winding Forum Drive, climbing toward million-dollar homes. Ray Charles used to live up here, he said. About a mile from Chamberlain Village, it is one of the wealthiest black communities in the city, home to prominent judges, lawyers and television personalities. Walker said residents in Chamberlain Hills wave and smile when they see his squad car. They flag him down whenever they notice something suspicious, such as a car that has been parked on the street too long. He kept driving, past big homes decorated with rose beds and bird of paradise flowers. “Out of my price range,” he said, passing a Mercedes parked in the driveway. He stopped at the top of the hill and stared at a stunning view of the city. “You’ve got the contrast,” he said.“Chamberlain Village over there. And you go across the street, and you have this.” Heading back down, Walker said Chamberlain Village began to change in the late 1960s and ‘70s. White flight began after the 1965 Watts riots. Drug dealers set up shop in an alley between apartment buildings where they sold PCP. They called it “Sherm Alley.” Soon the drug trade changed to crack cocaine, he said, and everything went downhill. The Black P-Stone gang ruled the narcotics scene in the area; High-rent apartment buildings turned into subsidized, low-income housing. Latino families, mostly immigrants, moved in. “The regular working ones were cool,” he said. “But then the 18th Street [gang] moved in and basically wanted to take over the drug trade.” Walker drove along Carson Avenue, past Davis High School. Teenagers stared him down. No one waved. Walker said sometimes the glares remind him of a scene out of the movie “Training Day,” which was filmed in Chamberlain Village.
