History Originally called Piru gang, from Piru street in compton. Made in Centennial High in Compton in 1972. The crips were already a gang, and beat up innocent people. The Piru Street crip set didn't like it. After a concert in 72, 20 crips beat up and robbed some people, and one guy named Robert Ballou Jr. refused to give up his jacket, so they killed him. The Piru street gang left the crips and started fighting them, even though they were way outnumbered.So they had a meeting with the Pueblos, the LA brims, and the Luedo Park Hustlers and others.
