The Crips were founded by Raymond Washington and Stanly (Tookie) Williams. On August 9, 1979 Raymond Washington was murdered. On December 13th 2005 Stanly Williams was executed for the murder of Albert Owens. The Crips are a gang around the U.S.A. you can find them anywhere but they are surrounded by wannabe's and people who only join or say there in one to look cool. The Crips are one of the largest gangs In the U.S.A. In 1971 a gang on Piru Street in Compton CA known as the Piru Street Boys was formed. After two years of peace, a feud began between the Piru Street Boys and the other Crips. It would later turn violent as gang warfare ensued between former allies. This battle continued until the 1970s when the Piru Street Boys wanted to call an end to the violence and called a meeting with other gangs that were targeted by the Crips. After a long discussion the Pius broke off all connections to the Crips and started a organization that would be called the Bloods a street gang infamous for its rivalry with the Crips. Since then, other conflicts and feuds were started between many of the remaining sets of the Crips gang. It is a popular misconception that Crips sets feud only with Bloods. In reality, they fight each other — for example, the Rollin' 60s and 83rd Street Gangster Crips have been rivals since 1979. In Watts LA the Grape Street Watts Crips and the P Jay Crips have fought so much that the P Jay Crips even teamed up with the local Bloods the Bounty Hunter Bloods to fight against the Grape Street Crips.
