GoonDaKilla Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 THE HARLEM GODFATHERS ─ Today considered to be the third-largest Crip gang in Los Santos behind the Eight Tray Gangster Crips and the Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips, the Rollin 30s were originally known as the Harlem Godfathers. The name comes from the gang being located from 35th to 39th streets and original gang member James ''Big James'' Miller being from the neighborhood of Harlem in New York moving to Los Santos as a young teen. Back then black neighborhoods were also referred to as ''Little Harlems''. While some teams like the Green Jacket Boys or the Brims refuse to line up with the Crips, other gangs such as the 94th Street Boys or the Slauson Boys accepted the Crip identity and formed a fairly consistent alliance. As for the Harlem Godfathers, established in the same area where the first Crips emerged, they automatically joined the young alliance, then adopting the name of Harlem Crips. A founding member of the Harlem Crips, James ''Big Jamer'' Miller, for a short period of time, merged with OG Barefoot Pookie's outfit the Godfather Crips, forming the Harlem Godfather Crips. OG Barefoot Pookie would go on to expand the idea of the Godfather Crips with hoods such as the Pico Godfathers, Marvin Godfathers, Playboy Godfathers; the Rollin 90s, and all Inglewood Crips were considered Godfather Crips, even some of the founding members of the Rollin 60s identified as Godfather Crips. A prisoner referred to James Miller during his time in East Lake Y.A. as a menacing hulk who he hoped to god was a Bounty Hunter or Brim. The fact was this kid was 5'3, 250lbs of muscle. He mentioned that his arms looked about 20 inches, and he had a bald head. The first real scramble between Crip factions caused the bankruptcy of the leadership of the Crips. At one time, the Rollin 60s and the Eight Tray Gangster Crips were close allies and often fought rival gangs together. However, by the early 1980s, they were engaged in all-out warfare. In September 1979, a 15-year-old member of the Eight Tray Gangster Crips got into a fight with a teenaged member of the Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips over a girl who had been dating both young men. In a subsequent fistfight between the two teenagers, a new recruit to the Eight Trays, eager to make a name for himself, pulled a gun and shot the Rollin 60s member, resulting in his death. The older brother of the 60s member who was killed, also a member of the Rollin 60s himself, demanded that the Eight Trays hand over the new recruit to be punished in order to prevent a war between the two gangs. The Eight Trays were unable to find the new recruit (who was actually from an area now controlled by the Rollin 90s Neighborhood Crips) for he had already turned himself in to the police. The Rollin 60s, feeling that they were being lied to, murdered a member of their gang in retaliation. Although a meeting was called by the leaders of both gangs in an attempt to end the fight, tensions were so high between them that the meeting erupted into a gang rumble, after which the Rollin 60s and the Eight Tray Gangster Crips engaged in a gang war that still exists to this day. This rivalry is responsible for being the first Crip on Crip rivalry in history. Over time, the feud spilled over into surrounding neighborhoods, forcing other gangs to chose sides in the conflict. Gangs who aligned themselves with the Rollin 60s adopted the Neighborhood or Deuce(2x) card while those who aligned themselves with the Eight Tray Gangster Crips adopted the Gangster Crips or Tray(3x) card. In the aftermath of this tragic event, the Rollin Crips, Neighborhood Crips, and East Coast Crips united under the same flag, while the Gangster Crips and Hoovers merged on their own side. As for the Harlem Crips, their proximity to the Rollin 40s and Rollin 60s pushed them to join the Deuce(2x) banner, thus adopting the new official name Rollin 30s Harlem Crip. However, the Rollin 30s had already established their own name in the times of the Harlem Godfather Crips, thus refusing to jump under the Neighborhood Crip card and to this day only claiming Rollin. From the 70s to the 80s, they also began going by the name of ''Dirt Gang'', accepting the derogatory term, ''dirties'', that rival gangs used against them to showcase disrespect towards the gang.

ROLLIN 30S ORIGINAL HARLEM CRIPS ─ The Westside Rollin 30s Original Harlem Crips, also known as Dirt Gang or the Crafty 30s are a long-standing African American street gang, originating from West Los Santos, San Andreas. Their history makes them one of the oldest Crip gangs on the west side. Their territory is located in the southwest section of Los Santos and is the second-largest turf of all black gangs in Los Santos, slightly smaller than the turf of the Eight Tray Gangster Crips. Beginning from the Jefferson Park area, the Rollin 30s consisted of the Avenue 30s, Denker Park 30s, and the 39th Street cliques; where the oldest members came from. The 35th and 37th Street cliques emerged during the mid 1990′s and consists of younger members of the gang. Other cliques include the DMB a/k/a Dirt Money Boys (clique for male factors from the Rollin 30s) and the DMG a/k/a Dirt Money Girls (clique for all HGz/Homegirls). Each clique has assigned "shot-callers" to direct the gang's criminal activity. Law enforcement estimates there are between 700 and 1000 Rollin' 30s gang members. In terms of gang structure, their generations are similar to a lot of other Crip gangs. Their membership mostly consists of Tiny Locs (who're in their mid/late-20s or early/mid-30s) and Infant Locs (who're in their early teens and 20s). They wear the traditional crip blue rags, but you can also spot the 30s rocking dirt brown rags for ''Dirt Gang''. Their territory is about 2.04 square miles between Jefferson (north) and King Blvd (south) and Crenshaw Blvd (west) and Normandie Ave (east). A portion of their turf extends further east to Vermont between Exposition in the north and King Blvd to the south. A common hand gesture used by members to represent the gang is to point two thumbs upward to represent the 'H' in "Harlem". Members of this gang are known to sport blue rags, as well as sports teams such as the Texas Rangers, Texas Longhorns, and the Minnesota Twins. In addition to sporting blue rags, you can also spot some Rollin 30s wearing brown flags. They're the second most prominent gang in the Southwest II area. The Rollin 30s are present in Residential Districts 376-378 and are described by the LSPD as “on and off” in terms of their alliance with the Rollin 40s. Homicide Detectives in the Operations South Bureau of the LSPD note that the Crips outnumber Bloods in Los Santos by as much as 7:1. Given their larger numbers, it is not uncommon for inter-rivalries among various Crip gangs, whereas ensuring survival requires that Blood gangs form alliances. The Rollin 30s Harlem Crips have engaged in bitter rivalries with both Blood and Crip sets. Their fiercest Blood rivalries are with the Rollin 20s Neighborhood Bloods, located north of their territory, and the Black P. Stones Jungles to the west. Both rivalries have been going on for over 30 and 20 years respectively. Other Blood rivals include the Bounty Hunters Watts, Van Ness Gangster Brims, Fruit Town Brims, Inglewood Family Gangster Bloods, Inglewood Neighborhood Piru, Pacoima Piru Bloods, both BPS hoods, and the Harvard Park Brims. Crip rivals include the Eight Tray Gangster Crips, 51 Trouble Gangster Crips, 52 Broadway Gangster Crips, 53 Avalon Gangster Crips, the Gardena Shotgun Crips, all Hard Time Hustler Crips, Front Street Watts Crips. The Harlem 30s are also bitter rivals of the Hoover Criminals, in particular the 52 Hoover Gangster Crips, and 59 Hoover Criminals Gang. Other rivals include the Hang Out Boyz 13 and the Harpies 13. They were once considered enemies of their former allies the Rollin 40s Neighborhood Crips to the north of their turf since approximately 1996. It was widely rumored that the Rollin 40’s were responsible for the shooting death of a Rollin 30’s member which sparked a tit-for-tat series of retaliatory shootings. Although that feud came to an end around 2006, it left the Rollin 30's disenfranchised with other Rollin 0s gangs. The Harlem 30s have traditionally been friendly toward gangs under both the Neighbor Hood Crips and Gangster Crips card including the Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips, Rollin 40s Neighborhood Crips (excluding the Darkside 40s clique who some members still consider rivals), Rollin 90s Neighborhood Crips, Rollin 100s Crips as well as the 4 Pacc Gangster Crips. Other allies include the Grape Street Watts Crips, Holmes Street Watts Crips, Venice Shoreline Crips, School Yard Crips and Bacc Street Watts Crips. The Rollin 30s are also friendly towards the Hispanic Alley Tiny Criminals 13 gang as well. Unlike most gangs, the Rollin 30s Harlems are the only gang under the Rollin 0s card that DOES NOT claim Neighborhood Crip. Law enforcement estimates there are between 700 and 1,000 active members of the Rollin 30s Crips with members who can be found in different parts of the world such as New York City and Belize. The Rollin 30s have a sizable Belizean membership who would bring Los Santos gang culture to their homelands upon deportation; exporting foreign rivalries to the Caribbean nation. OPERATION THUMBS DOWN ─ LOS SANTOS—Over 800 hundred law enforcement officers and agents served dozens of arrest and search warrants this morning in Operation Thumbs Down, an 18-month investigation that targeted members and associates of the Rollin’ 30s Harlem Crips, a South Los Santos street gang that ranks among the Los Santos Police Department’s top targeted street gangs, announced André Birotte Jr., the United States Attorney in Los Santos; Bill Lewis, the Assistant Director in Charge of FBI in Los Santos; Charlie Beck, the Chief of the Los Santos Police Department; and Mike Feuer, the City Attorney in Los Santos. Thirty-five defendants currently charged with federal and state violations are in custody following this morning’s Operation Thumbs Down, an investigation initiated in 2012 to identify and target high-level members of the Rollin 30s Harlem Crips, a gang known for violence in the community it claims as its territory. Several remaining defendants charged at either the state or federal level was already in custody on unrelated charges or are considered fugitives currently being sought by task force members.
