I'm From Piru Crip

[LionTheOracle]

Bodacious was incarcerated with YA while the Crip and Piru truce was still in affect. He had as many Mona Park Crip friends as he did Piru friends. He was one of two members of the Piru St. Gang who referred to themselves effectively as Piru Crip. Once released he had no idea the truce had been broken for 2 years.

According to statistics, 1980 had the highest homicide rate in LA history, with 32.4 murders per 100,000 people. Compared to now, which is just over 6 murders per 100,000 people. Imagine 5 times the murders happening today...

What social dynamics were going on at the time that made that time period in LA so violent? Because to my knowledge, crack didn't hit LA until a few years later.

And gang warfare to my knowledge didn't really hit its peak until the late 80's to early 90's.

I knew Piru was originally allied/affiliated with Crips, but had no idea some Pirus were claiming Crip.

Naw actually Crack has been on technically on the streets in LA since 78, but people started to really get arrested for it in the early 80s according to reports.
