The Rollin 60 Neighborhood Crips is a street gang based in Los Angeles, California. In 1976, the Rollin' 60's formed as a faction of the original Crip gang, the Westside Crips, and have since grown. They are also engaged in the most violent gang rivalry between two gangs in the history of Los Angeles gang conflict[1], as the body count with the Rollin' 60s Crips is the in several hundreds. They are considered the most violent and notorious black gang in all of LA County. Their main rival is the Eight Tray Gangster Crips to the East; however, they also fight with all Hoover Criminal sets. In fact, this may be a reason that the Hoover Criminals (formerly Hoover Crips), stopped claiming Crip.
According to the Los Angeles Daily News, Rollin 60's is "the largest black criminal street gang in the City of Los Angeles with over 52,600 active members an entire army brigade.[2]
