The Eastside of South Central is home to the humble, working class of Los Santos. Many of LS's history is found in this area due to many of its buildings originating in the early to mid twentieth century. Due to this area being the most Northern part of Eastern South Central, there are smaller numbered streets, which denotes the name "Low Bottoms." Other than the community aspect of the Low Bottoms, this area is also known to the most violent and treacherous gangs in South LS. Blood gangs like the Rolling 20's Outlaw Bloods, Rolling 30's Bloodstone Pirus, All For Crime Bloods, Rolling 40's Bloodstone Pirus, Bloodstone Villains, and the Pueblo Bishop Bloods dominate the area as compared to the Crip gangs in the area. There is also a strong presence of Hispanic gangs in the area, such as the Primera Flats 13, 38th Street, Clanton 14th Street, Ghetto Boyz 13, Mid City Stoners 13, East Side 13, and Locos Park 13. This racial divide in the area has formed numerous bloody rivalries between the African Americans and Latinos in the area. Due to this, many African American gangs in the area push or claim "MK" or Mexican Killa, and vice versa for the Hispanic gangs in the area. The Eastside Rolling 20's Outlaw Bloods or Eastside Outlaws (OLS) are a majority African-American gang located on the Eastside of southern LS. Their territory stretches from 20th Street to Jefferson Boulevard, located in between Main Street and Central Avenue. Due to popular belief, the Eastside Outlaws and the Neighborhood Rolling 20's Bloods are often grouped together, despite them being two completely different gangs. The truth is— the two gangs are completely unrelated and are on two different areas/side of town, with the Eastside Outlaws being located in the Low Bottoms and the Neighborhood Rolling 20's Bloods being located in the West Adams area. The Rolling 20's Outlaw Bloods are strong allies with Rolling 30's Bloodstone Pirus, Neighborhood Rolling 20's Bloods, and the Bloodstone Villains. For the most part, they are neutral with many other blood gangs in the area, due to the politics with their allies. Their rivals in the area include the 4 Pacc Crips, Avalon Gangster Crips, Broadway Gangster Crips, and their most bitter Mexican rivals the East Side Trece or East Side 13. In areas outside of the Low Bottoms, the Eastside Outlaws are also rivals to all Neighborhood Crip (2x) gangs and most Gangster Crip (3x) gangs. In modern times, the new generation of the Rolling 20's Outlaw Bloods have found different ways to represent their neighborhood as well profit off of their neighborhood. They can be spotted sporting apparel from Major League Baseball teams like the Baltimore Orioles, Texas Rangers, and Boston Red Sox. Outside of tangible representation, the Outlaws are also responsible for a decent amount of weapon and drug operations in the area. Much of the distribution of drugs like marijuana, cocaine, codeine cough syrup, heroin, and opioids are at the hands of the Eastside Outlaws. In addition, the conflicts in the area have remained the same over the course of years. There is still strong racial tension in the area, racially dividing the black and brown communities in the Low Bottoms even more. One major event that led to the increasing racial wars in the area was a tragedy known as the 49th Street Massacre. Allegedly the massacre was a response to the murder of a member of the Rolling 30's Bloodstone Pirus, who's name is going to be disclosed. In retaliation, a member of the Bloodstones took it upon himself to go to 49th street in the Low Bottoms and open fire on a group of Hispanic people, which included a child. Allegedly, he stood over the child also. It was also found that later that night, he also killed another Hispanic man in the area to top of the murders he had committed earlier that day. This event would spark an ongoing war between the East Side 13's and the Rolling 30's Bloodstone Pirus, which dragged the Eastside Outlaws into it due to them having a strong alliance with the Bloodstones. There have been numerous bodies on both sides, resulting in a never-ending cycle of hatred between the two sides. The Bloods gang was formed initially to go against the influence of the Crips in Los Santos. The rivalry dates back to the 1960s when Dedrick Reynolds and several other Crips confronted Pierre and Khalil Homan, students at P.R.I.D.E. High School in Los Santos, San Andreas. In response to the attack, Rob, who lived in Chamberlain, established the Piru street-gang, the first "Bloods" street gang. Homan established the West Piru street-gang. The Bloods street-gang was initially formed to provide members protection from the Crips. Many of the non-Crip street-gangs used to call one another "blood". On June 17, 1972, shortly after a concert 20 youths belonging to the Crips attacked and robbed Eric Garnett Jr. outside of Vinewood Palladium. Garnett was beaten to death after he refused to give up his Air Jordans. The sensational media coverage of the crime and the continued assaults by the Crips increased their notoriety. Several non-Crips gangs formed during this period were no match for the Crips and they became concerned with the escalating Crip attacks. The Pirus, Black P. Stones, Lynne Park Boys and other gangs not aligned with the Crips often clashed with the Crips. On August 12, 1972, three months after Garnett's murder, LaTrae "Gator" Garret was murdered by a Westside Crip. This marked the first Crips murder against another gang member and motivated non-Crip street-gangs to align with each other. The Brims struck back on September 9, 1972, by murdering John Wright, an original Westside Crip. By late 1972, the Pirus held a meeting in their neighborhood to discuss growing Crips pressure and intimidation. Several gangs that felt victimized by the Crips joined the Piru Street Boys to create a new federation of non-Crips neighborhoods. This alliance would transform into the "Bloods". The Pirus are therefore considered to be the original founders of the Bloods.
