The Rollin Hunnids - Underground Blocc Crips The Rollin Hundreds Crips consist of several gangs under the Neighborhood card on the West Side of South Los Santos. All together, their turf stretches from 101st Street, to 120th Street. The gangs that make up the Hundreds are the Budlong Gangster Crips, 104 Hard Time Hustler Crips, 105 Underground Blocc Crips, 105 Gangster Crips, 107 Original Blocc Crips, 111 Neighborhood Crips, 113 Original Blocc Crips, 115 Neighborhood Crips, 115 Pimp Town Blocc Crips, 116 Acacia Blocc Hustler Crips, 117 Watergate Crips, and the 120 Raymond Avenue Crips. But in the late 2020's, the majority of the gangs under the Blocc card has been feuding with the 1e11um5 Neighborhood Crips due to shootings resulting in deaths on both sides. The Underground Crips were one of the first spin off gangs from the original West Side Crips, along with the Neighborhood Blocc Crips, which approximately occurred in 1973. Monkey Man, an original Westside Crip from the “100s” faction, is considered the founder of the Underground Crips as the movement for specific neighborhood identity grew during the early 1970s. The original founders often spent time in the basement of a house off Western & 104th Streets, hence the name “Underground” but the gang was most likely named after Curtis Mayfield’s 1971 song, “The Underground” off his Roots album. The Blocc Crips splintered off of the Westside Crips around 1973 when Melvin Hardy formed this new identity. The Underground Crips and the Neighborhood Blocc Crips were also among the first gangs to breakaway from the Westside Crip identity around the same time. The UGs have adapted the logo of the Indianapolis Colts as a cultural identifier of their neighborhood, and the Blocc Crips have adopted the Boston Red Sox logo as their main identifier. They are part of a loose affiliation of other Crip gangs known as the Rollin 100s that formed in jail during the 1980s. The Blocc Crip car was founded in the early 1970s by the 107OBC, 113OBC, and UGBC sets (now known as Blue Flame Gang) within the Rollin’ 100’s in what’s now known as the Brouge district (also known as the 100’s). Though east side gangs like 118ECBC have also claimed Blocc Crip since being founded. The BC card within gang culture is often seen as the more violent but still "flashy" counterpart of the Neighborhood Crips. Brouge Avenue has repeatedly had the highest murder rate in Los Santos County and was consequently nicknamed “Death Alley” by the Los Santos Times newspaper. Other areas claimed by BC gangs in nearby cities such as Del Amo of Carson (190ECBC) and the Eastside of Riverside (1200ECBC) also tend to rank near the top yearly in murder rates within their cities. Despite being smaller and often affiliated/confused with the NHC card, the BC card is actually its own separate entity. Though it’s rare, certain BC gangs do beef with NHC gangs (mainly 111NHC/115NHC vs. UGBC/107OBC/113OBC/190ECBC). Regardless, Blocc Crips and Neighborhood Crips (NHBC) are considered almost synonymous and both function together and are usually housed with each other in the county jail system. The Blocc Crips earliest enemies historically were and still are the Hoover Gangs (especially where the Rollin' 100's are concerned), the murder of reputable OBC/Rollin' 100s member in 2012 led to the infamous #100Days100Nights shooting spree in South LS where civilians and gang members where either wounded or murdered over the course of one summer (most of the violence was the Rollin' 100's vs SMG). The BC card almost entirely beefs with the Bloods, Gangster Crips, and Hoover gangs most especially. In a county of 10 million people, South LS is among the deadliest places to live. In the last seven years. The community, which has no city government of its own, has fallen through the cracks. There’s a youth center south of La Puente Freeway, a general community task force meets weekly and scattered school programs exist, but there has been no widespread effort to reduce violence. Even among a patchwork of areas across South L.S. notorious for gangs, drugs and violence, Brouge stood out among data reported since 2007 for the online project The Homicide Report. Forum’s neighbor to the east, Strawberry Knolls, shares “death alley” as a boundary. But the L.S. city neighborhood, similar in size and demographics, has had a little more than half as many homicides, 57, over the same period. Violent crime in the nation — and in Los Santos County overall — has reached its lowest levels in decades. In many respects, that downturn has spread evenly across neighborhoods, a Times analysis found. But depending on where you live, violence may be an everyday fact of life or so rare that it still shocks. The face of who gets killed was unchanged over the seven years of homicides. Men account for nearly 85% of homicide victims. One of every three males killed is between the ages of 17 and 25. Latinos, about half of the county’s population, account for nearly half of all killings since 2007. Blacks, just 8% of the county’s residents, remain disproportionately affected, accounting for 32% of homicides. Last year, black people in L.S. County were killed at more than seven times the rate of all other racial and ethnic groups combined. The homicide rate for blacks has remained stubbornly high even as homicides have plummeted in the county from 941 the year Homicide Report began to 594 last year. In many ways, Forum provides a window into chronic issues facing urban communities. Until a sharp uptick to 15 last year, homicides here had dropped like elsewhere in the county. But they still occurred at a much higher rate than other neighborhoods. Blacks in Brouge are killed at four times the rate as Latinos, although each group makes up about half of the 30,000 residents. People here are poor — about 40% live below the poverty line, more than double the average rate in the region. Few residents have college degrees. On these streets, children watch how they dress for fear of being confronted by a gang member. Residents complain of break-ins and gunshots. Nonprofit workers tasked with removing graffiti have faced threats. Deputies would regularly drive down West 105th Street between Normandie and Denker avenues. Flagging anybody down they suspected of being gang-members, and making them lift their shirts, and empty out their pockets. The street was once two-way, but in 1996, the Sheriff’s Department requested that it be changed to a one-way to help with crime-fighting efforts. The area has long been controlled by a gang named the Underground Crips whose members would, in more violent days, walk across Carson to shoot at rivals. "100 Days 100 Nights / Summer Of 2015" The writing was on the walls. The Rollin’ 100s, The Nine Owes, the 107 Hoover Criminals — spelled out or abbreviated, in dark ink on fences and the sides of buildings. The aliases of their members would be similarly tagged, on conspicuous lists known as “roll calls. ”These were the territorial markers of South Los Santos’ notorious street gangs two decades ago. Today, those same groups have taken their business off the concrete and onto the Internet. The city began experiencing the ripple effects of this 21st century strategy last week, as rumors swirled on social media about a gang violence movement dubbed #100days100nights, allegedly sparked by the death of a member of the Rollin’ 100s. Several circulating posts warn residents in the area of impending violence, citing hearsay that rival gangs are competing to be the first to reach a hundred slayings. The proliferation of the hashtag has coincided with a spike in gang violence, with shootings back to back. LSPD South Bureau Officers noted that while the department is closely monitoring online activity around #100days100nights, they are more concerned about the fear it has evoked from the community than with the possibility of an underlying threat. While the incidents over the weekend were gang-related, they aligned more with typical criminal acts than a movement that would involve “indiscriminate acts of violence” randomly targeting neighborhood residents. “We are hearing that this is really not a valid posting,” an officer said. “This situation may just be a bunch of hype.” He clarified that the tactical alert issued Saturday night was in response to the spike in violence — common given the cyclical nature of gang activity — and not to the hashtag itself. Legitimate threat or not, #100days100nights speaks to a larger trend of gangs with formerly notable street presences moving their feuds to the battlegrounds of Face Browser. The bet—which follows the death of a member of the Rollin 100s Underground Blocc Crips—was made between several South Los Santos gangs. Gang members said it would remain “on” for 100 days straight—and innocent people driving between the streets of Brouge and Carson in Los Santos could be risking their lives over a game on Face Browser. Users on social media have tagged images and videos with the hashtag expressing support for the movement, brandishing guns and firing fighting words. Posts now appear chastising neighboring gangs for participating in blood-sport. The shooting that kicked off a series of violent crimes throughout the months to come occurred on a Thursday evening at about 9:50 p.m. on the on West 107th Street. A woman and two men, ages 18 and 23, were wounded after a suspect walked up to their car and opened fire. The shooter is still at large. Police sources have confirmed that the posts online have been taken very seriously, leading to an increase in officer deployment and other adjustments. It’s a stark contrast to the criminal heyday of the ’80s and ’90s, when “the essence of the Los Santos street gang was to be in the streets,” he said. After all, the streets were where the gangs got their names: the Rollin’ 60s for a group occupying the blocks between 58th to 71st street, and so on. A gang’s success was judged in part by the strength of its physical presence, demonstrated by members marking public walls with graffiti, huddling around parks and liquor stores and commandeering entire apartment complexes for their illicit gatherings. Thanks to legal orders established to curb gang activity, these practices have become far more rare.
