Isn't Piru a street?

I do believest said street contained a B set

Perhaps said B set has excelled to the point where their 'label' rivals the B label itself?

I wouldn't say any gang member is that different from another even B vs C

It's so prevalent that y'all forget that gang members are something akin to child soldiers.. on your fukcing block.. and the enemy is everything outside

 

[NotAnFBIagent]

Arent pirus a subset of the bloods

Yup, spot on.

• Piru - A gang with territory in Compton and Los Angeles.
• Bloods - A term that sprung from the Piru and unified all the neighborhood gangs against the Crips. Brims became Bloods, Piru became Bloods, and etc.
• Damu - Swahili for Blood.

So in essence...the term Blood is a signifier of alligence and not a specific set. For instance, Tree Top Piru, Bounty Hunter, Denver Lane, Leuder’s Park, and etc are all their own sets but are all apart of the Blood alliance. On the flipside you have Rollin’ 20’s, Rollin’ 60’s, Neighborhood, and more that are all individual gangs that belong to the Crip alliance.

Piru was a thing before bloods. Many Pirus consider themselves Pirus above anything else. Some consider themselves bloods, some don't.

 

[smitty22]

Yup, spot on.

• Piru - A gang with neighborhoods in Compton and Los Angeles.
• Bloods - A gang that sprung from Piru and grew to be a term that unified all the neighborhood gangs against the Crips. Brims became Bloods, Piru became Bloods, and etc.
• Damu - Swahili for Blood.

Feel like i just took a course in rep ya set 101 :SchoolemBrutus:

 

[Kwabena]

Isn't Piru a set? And bloods are the overarching gang

 

[satam55]

Yup, spot on.

Is "Hoover" supposed to be the Crip equivalent as "Piru" is to Blood?

Yup, spot on.

All in all Bloods and Crips are franchises like Mcdonalds.

also understand you will not get a definitive answer from googles

there's no good reason you should need to know anymore than the very superficial basics of it all
