The <a href="/wiki/Crips%E2%80%93Bloods_gang_war" title="Crips–Bloods gang war">rivalry</a> originated in the late 1960s when <a href="/wiki/Raymond_Washington" title="Raymond Washington">Raymond Washington</a> and other Crips attacked Sylvester Scott and Benson Owens, two students at <a href="/wiki/Centennial_High_School_(Compton,_California)" title="Centennial High School (Compton, California)">Centennial High School</a> in <a href="/wiki/Compton,_California" title="Compton, California">Compton, California</a>. As a result, Scott formed the <a href="/wiki/Piru_Street_Boys" class="mw-redirect" title="Piru Street Boys">Piru Street Boys</a>, the first "Bloods" gang. Owens subsequently established the West Piru gang. The Bloods was initially formed to provide members protection from the Crips. Many of the non-Crip gangs used to call one another "blood".<sup id="cite_ref-Gangland_18-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Gangland-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> On March 21, 1972, shortly after a concert featuring <a href="/wiki/Wilson_Pickett" title="Wilson Pickett">Wilson Pickett</a> and <a href="/wiki/Curtis_Mayfield" title="Curtis Mayfield">Curtis Mayfield</a>, 20 youths belonging to the Crips attacked and robbed Robert Ballou Jr. outside the <a href="/wiki/Hollywood_Palladium" title="Hollywood Palladium">Hollywood Palladium</a>. Ballou was beaten to death after refusing to give up his leather jacket. The sensational media coverage of the crime and the continued assaults by the Crips increased their notoriety. Several non-Crips gangs formed during this period were no match for the Crips and became concerned with the escalating Crip attacks. The <a href="/wiki/Pirus" title="Pirus">Pirus</a>, <a href="/wiki/Black_P._Stones_(Jungles)" title="Black P. Stones (Jungles)">Black P. Stones</a>, Athens Park Boys and other gangs not aligned with the Crips often clashed with them. On June 5, 1972, three months after Ballou's murder, Fredrick "Lil Country" Garret was murdered by a Westside Crip. This marked the first Crips murder against another gang member and motivated non-Crip gangs to align with each other. The Brims struck back on August 4, 1972, by murdering Thomas Ellis, an original Westside Crip. By late 1972, the Pirus held a meeting in their neighborhood to discuss growing Crip pressure and intimidation. Several gangs that felt victimized by the Crips joined the Pirus to create a new federation of non-Crips neighborhoods. This alliance became the Bloods.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Pirus are therefore considered the founders of the Bloods. </p><p>By 1978, there were 15 Blood sets. Crips still outnumbered Bloods 3 to 1. To assert their power, the Bloods became increasingly violent. During the 1980s, Bloods began distributing <a href="/wiki/Crack_cocaine" title="Crack cocaine">crack cocaine</a> in Los Angeles. Blood membership soon rose dramatically as did the number of states in which they were present. These increases were primarily driven by profits from crack cocaine distribution. The huge profits allowed members to relocate to other cities and states.<sup id="cite_ref-Gangland_18-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Gangland-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="United_Blood_Nation">United Blood Nation</h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951" /><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/United_Blood_Nation" title="United Blood Nation">United Blood Nation</a></div> <p>"Bloods" is a universal term used to refer to West Coast Bloods and <a href="/wiki/United_Blood_Nation" title="United Blood Nation">United Blood Nation</a> (UBN, also known as the East Coast Bloods). These two groups are traditionally distinct, but both call themselves "Bloods". UBN started in 1993 in <a href="/wiki/Rikers_Island" title="Rikers Island">Rikers Island</a>'s George Motchan Detention Center (GMDC) to form protection from the <a href="/wiki/Latin_Kings" title="Latin Kings">Latin Kings</a> and <a href="/wiki/%C3%91etas" title="Ñetas">Ñetas</a> who were targeting African-American gang members. UBN is a loose confederation of predominantly African-American street gangs. Once released from prison, UBN leaders went back to their New York neighborhoods, where they retained the Bloods name and started recruiting members. UBN has between 7,000 and 15,000 members in the Eastern US. It makes its income through various criminal activities, including distribution of crack cocaine and smuggling drugs into prison.<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Membership">Membership</h2></div> <p>Bloods are a loosely structured association of smaller street gangs, known as "<a href="/wiki/Set_(gang)" title="Set (gang)">sets</a>", that have a common gang culture.<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Each set has its own leader and generally operates independently from the others.

These levels of membership indicate status within a gang. A leader, typically an older member with a more extensive criminal background, runs each set. A set leader is not elected but rather asserts himself by developing and managing the gang's criminal enterprises through his reputation for violence and ruthlessness and his charisma. The majority of set members are called "soldiers", who are typically 16 to 22. Soldiers have a strong sense of commitment to their set and are extremely dangerous because of their willingness to use violence both to obtain the respect of gang members and to respond to any person who "disrespects" the set. "Associates" are not full members, but identify with the gang and take part in various criminal activities. To the extent that women belong to the gang, they are usually associates and tend to be used by their male counterparts to carry weapons, hold drugs, or prostitute themselves to make money for their set.<sup id="cite_ref-Bloods_Street_Gang_Intelligence_Report_7-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bloods_Street_Gang_Intelligence_Report-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Recruitment is often influenced by a recruit's environment.
