“If you have a kind of ideology, however bizarre, it gives a gang direction and justification for whatever it does. It is not just a war. It becomes a holy war.”
Luis Rodríguez, Always Running La Vida Loca: Gang Days in L.A>

“Omar explained that Crips was anacronym for Community Revolution in Progress (...) They were first meant to offer guardianship and community to counter crime and violence. (...) Incidentally, the Bloods rose up for the same reason in 1972, except they were meant to provide protection from the Crips. So it was a self-perpetuating cycle of attack and defense.”
Antong Lucky, A Redemptive Path Forward: From Incarceration to a Life of Activism
