codependency Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) Jamestown Street, notorious for housing the most vile, corrupt and undomesticated youth that could only be described as disenfranchised. Years of poverty, failed programs and a nightmarish white exodus had taken its toll on an already developing district of South Los, and without much done by the government to curtail crime, residents sought security in one another. Teens have worn a badge of delinquency under the guise of security, protection, extortion, drug dealing and violent, large-scale group crimes in the pursuit of cash and excess, all in the name of a better lifestyle. Systemized oppression, unwarranted deaths and archive deep police records of abuse, mistreatment and injustice paved the way for streets to erupt. People had enough, and the Zoot Suit Riots rekindled feelings of struggle and disorder, driving the locals of Jamestown, like many of the other surrounding districts of South Los to have their way as a revenge against the system. This paved the way for the youth to have a chance at making it out of the system, and with many celebrities and icons across Los Santos promoting this lifestyle, an uneasy and unhinged youth succumbed to the devil. The 38th Street gang is a longstanding criminal street gang in Los Santos, consisting primarily of individuals of Hispanic-American descent, with a history dating back to the 1920s. It holds one of the oldest legacies among street gangs in Los Santos due to its involvement in various illicit pursuits. The 38th Street gang operates under the influence and directives of the Mexican Mafia, and their members are known to be deeply entrenched in street politics involving the Black Hand. MILLITANT UPRISING ON 38ST Reputedly the oldest barrio in South Los, their expansion was rapid. The lifestyle attracted troubled youth all across the landscape, and the charm of crime and disorder appealed to many feeble minds. Militant expansion erupted, and many cliques began to form, with many of them disappearing almost instantaneously. This wave of expansion was referenced in the news on multiple occasion, and many anti-gang programs began to earn mainstream attention. A notorious clique on the come-up in South Los dominated the landscape, and cemented their name on every news agency within a thousand mile radius — the Pee Wee Gangsters (PWGS), notorious for dabbling with violent street crimes across the board and remaining militant against all blood factions. This set the stage for a plethora of notorious characters to rise up, most notably Edward Salamanca, otherwise known as Midget, who was responsible for the killing of at least nine different Pueblo Bishops Bloods affiliates and injuring over 13 others in a plethora of small-time killings. The killings were executed in the name of revenge, painting the picture for a vivid gang landscape where youth once blossomed and grew to steal the gift of life from others, all in the name of their gangs. The LSPD Gang Enforcement Team had a different say in the matter: a stop was imminent, and the launch of an operation couldn't wait a second longer. Calls were made, hands were shaken, and offices were ransacked—a complete gang package was in the works and the Judges were more than happy to sign on what they regarded as easy, indisputable warrants due to the poor economic backgrounds of the involved suspects. Warrants were plastered across every door, and the Special Weapons Team erased any words that hinted at denial from their vocabulary. Brutes knocked down doors, major heads were severed, and the serpent was disconnected with the remainder of their camaradas succumbing to death in one way or another. Success was the name of the game for the Gang Enforcement Detail, and there was nothing but horror and lost spirits of gang members roaming in South Los from this point onward. RESURRECTION Crime continued in South Los, only this time it was fewer in count, and it was far more aggressive. The population felt subjugated, and while there was a degree of relief, a lot of families continued to struggle as the many drug businesses led by big heads around the neighborhood were putting food on many plates, and with a lack of a consistent supply, poverty skyrocketed. Many of the youth felt as though they were suppressed by the government, and many others felt an innate desire to take back to the streets seeing as they've lost family members to rivaling gangs, or they've simply felt powerless being in a low-income household with no feelings of independence. Such feelings were unexpected, as there was no proper socioeconomic analysis of police operations and their outcome, and the streets had a different opinion. Many blood sets began flocking to South Los in droves to assassinate remnants of the Pee Wee Gangsters clique. This paved the way for major 38st Gang veterans to revive the Pee Wee Gangsters clique to reinforce their status in South Los and maintain yet another supply line for their camaradas. With the Black Hand's involvement, Pee Wee Gangsters was picked up once more, and with militant growth, they've managed to keep local blood cliques at bay to re-assert their positioning on the streets after a long hiatus which rendered them effectively defunct and no longer worthy of pursuit by the Gang Task Force networks. SEVERED TIES & INDEPENDENCE With multiple figures now on the rise within the PWGS clique, a shift in opinion amongst their affiliates began to be evident: the umbrella 38st Gang was severely lacking in their efforts to assist PWGS in rising up and maintaining a healthy cash flow due to endless disruptions and wars by neighboring sets, where PWGS found themselves to be severely lacking on multiple fronts: this paved the way for conversation between PWGS and their strongest ally and neighbor, Traviesos Gangsters 13, where PWGS were offered to pick up the Traviesos 13 card in favor of stronger business ventures and mutual interests, as they both share insignia, gang signs and enemies as a result of being closely connected neighbors since their emergence. This move, while initially expected to be unpopular, proved to be favorable in the eyes of many affiliates as they've noticed further support from the neighboring gang. This move meant that TGS's very own Making Enemies Rank (MER) clique, which is known to be strongly associated with PWGS as they both grew up on the same streets, was now replaced by the newly absorbed cliques on Jamestown: Pee Wee Gangsters and Tiny Wicked Diablas.
