Why did gangs start fighting?

Gangs often fight due to factors such as turf wars over territory for criminal activities, disputes over drug trafficking routes, retaliation for past conflicts or disrespect, and conflicts over power and control within the gang hierarchy. These fights can escalate due to ongoing tensions and rivalries between different gang members or factions.


Hate Crimes?

Hate Crimes (called bias-motivated crimes in certain states) is of major concern all over the world. It is a crime motivated by prejudice against a social group, (Law) a crime, especially of violence, in which the victim is targeted because of his or her race, religion, sexuality, etcStatistics reveal that racial and religious biases are the most common hate crimes in the United States. Examples of hate crimes in the United States include lynching of African Americans, cross burnings to drive black families from predominantly white neighborhoods, assaults on white people traveling to predominantly black neighborhoods, assaults on gay, lesbian and transgender people. disability, ethnicity, nationality, age, gender, gender identity, or political affiliation.Definition:The FBI defines a hate crime to be “a criminal offense committed against a person, property or society which is motivated, in whole or in part, by the offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or ethnicity/national origin.”Crimes motivated by hatred of a person’s sexual orientation (whether the victim is a heterosexual, bisexual or homosexual) are also sometimes included under hate crimes. Current statutes permit federal prosecution of hate crimes committed on the basis of a person’s race, color, religion, or nation origin when engaging in a federally protected activity. The six “federally protected activities” enumerated in the statute are: (1) enrolling in or attending a public school or public college; (2) participating in or enjoying a service, program, facility or activity provided or administered by any State or local government; (3) applying for or enjoying employment; (4) serving in a State court as a grand or petit juror; (5) traveling in or using a facility of interstate commerce; and (6) enjoying the goods or services of certain places of public accommodation.However, federal laws only attach an extended sentence penalty to those hate crimes that are motivated by racism, sexism or xenophobia. Hate crimes based on gender, sexual orientation, sexual identity, or disability do not result in extra sentences.The use of the term “perceived” in the definition of hate crimes in some state legislation takes special significance because many of the hate crimes are based in error on the incorrect belief that the victim is gay, or a member of some group or class that the perpetrator hates.OffendersResearch suggests that the vast majority of offenders are not members of organized hate groups. It was also revealed during study that over 50 percent of perpetrators of hate crimes are under age 25. The hate crime incident reports for 2004 contained a total of 7,145 “known offenders”. The termknown offenderdoes not imply that the identity of the perpetrator was known but only that a distinguishing attribute of the individual, race, or other distinguishable feature was noted on the incident report. Of those persons who committed a crime based upon their perceived biases, 60.5 percent were white, and 19.9 percent were black. Nearly 12.3 percent were classified as unknown race. Groups containing persons of various races accounted for 5.2 percent of the perpetrators.Hate Crime LawsHate crime laws in the United Statesprotect against hate crimes (also known asbias crimes) motivated by enmity or animus against a protected class. Although state laws vary, current statutes permit federal prosecution of hate crimes committed on the basis of a person's protected characteristics of race,religion, ethnicity,nationality,gender, sexual orientation,gender identity, anddisability.State LawsForty Five states and the District of Columbia have statutes criminalizing various types of bias-motivated violence or intimidation (the exceptions are Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, South Carolina, and Wyoming). Each of these statutes cover bias on the basis of race, religion, and ethnicity; 32 of them cover sexual orientation; 32 cover disability; 28 cover gender; 13 cover age; 11 cover transgender/gender-identity; 5 cover political affiliation.Thirty one states and the District of Columbia have statutes creating a civil cause of action, in addition to the criminal penalty, for similar acts. Twenty seven states and the District of Columbia have statutes requiring the state to collect hate crime statistics; 16 of these cover sexual orientation.Prosecution of Hate CrimesPersons violating the 1969 Federal Hate Crimes Law face a fine or imprisonment of up to one year, or both. If bodily injury results or if such acts of intimidation involve the use of firearms, explosives or fire, individuals can receive prison terms of up to 10 years, while crimes involving kidnapping, sexual assault, or murder can be punishable by life in prison or the death penalty.Support for Hate Crime LawsAdvocates of harsher punishment for hate crimes state that hate crimes cause greater individual and societal harm. This is probably because when the very root of a person’s identity is attacked, the humiliation caused is severe, and results in disempowerment of a group of people in the society. This causes a tear in the very fabric of a free society. It is for this very reason that hate crimes are sometimes referred to as “message crimes:” violence intended to send a message to a minority within a community. Advocates favoring hate crime legislations also feel that chances for retaliatory crimes are greater when a hate crime has been committed. Therefore, they feel that there should be laws that recognizes the gravity of hate crimes and prevents their recurrence. In a democratic society, citizens cannot be required to approve of the beliefs and practices of others, but must never commit criminal acts on account of them.

Should we hate the crime or the criminal?

It is generally more constructive to hate the crime itself rather than the individual committing the crime. Hating the criminal can perpetuate negative emotions and may not address the root causes of the behavior. Focusing on the crime allows for a more systematic approach to preventing such actions in the future.


Can one go to jail for being a racist?

It depends on what you do. If you are just a racist when you talk to people, then no. If you make everything public and shout it out, you would most likely go to jail or be fined by the police.

Why do bloods and crips fight?

Bloods hate Crips & Crips hate Bloods, this has been going on for years this Blood and Crip war dates all the way back to the 1970's. Really though Crips started first they formed in the late 1960's then the Bloods came in the early 1970's basically as a response to the Crips, because the Crips were killing and robbing other smaller gangs and random people with no gang affiliation at all for no reason. So basically all these smaller gangs banned together and formed the Bloods to fight off the Crips from bullying them.


Are crips and bloods still active in 2012?

Crips and Bloods are still actively gang banging in states like New York, North Carolina, New Orleans and a few other choice East Coast states. However, in California, the Crips and Bloods have acquired a ''Peace Treaty'' between each separate gang which means they have decided to unite in territory, friendship and whatever else. Some Crips and Bloods have been known to break that ''Peace Treaty'' by causing some kind of harm or hate to one another. A Crip will always be a Crip and a Blood will always be a Blood.

Why do bloods hate crypts?

The Crips are a primarily, but not exclusively, African American Gang. They were founded in LA, California in 1969 mainly by Raymond Washington and Stanley Williams. What was once a single alliance between two autonomous gangs is now a loosely connected network of individual sets, often engaged in open warfare with one another.The Crips are one of the largest and most violent associations of street gangs in the United States, with an estimated 30,000 to 35,000 members. The gang is known to be involved in murders , robberies, and drug dealing, among many other pursuits. The gang is known for its gang members' use of the color blue in their clothing. However, this practice has waned due to police crackdowns on gang members.Crips are publicly known to have an intense and bitter rivalry with the Bloods and lesser feuds with some Chicano gangs. Crips have been documented in the US Military, found in bases in the United States and abroad.The Bloods gang was formed initially to compete against the influence of the Crips in Los Angeles. The origin of the Bloods and their rivalry with the Crips dates to the 1970s, where the Pirus street gang, originally a set, or faction, of the Crips, broke off during an internal gang war, and allied with other smaller gangs to found the gang that would eventually become known as the Bloods. At the time, Crips sets outnumbered Bloods sets by three to one. To assert their power despite this difference in numbers, Bloods sets became increasingly violent, especially against rival Crips members. The Pirus are therefore considered to be the original founders of the Bloods. During the rise of crack cocaine, the gang's focus shifted to drug production. Bloods sets operate independently of each other, and are currently located in almost all States. Blood sets on the East Coast are often seen as affiliated with the United Blood Nation, a gang which originated in Rikers Island.


How come bloods and crips don't get along?

There are different reasons why people have enemies or they are the enemy. The Blood and Crips don't get along because they are competing against each other just to be known and to see who is better. That's what most people say, but it's really not about competition or to see who is better. It's not just about a color or what block you from, it's about respect and gaining respect. They blow the whole Blood and Crip thing out of proportion. They became enemies through a misunderstanding. One shot the other, the other shot back, someone got killed and now their mad. Their hearts are full of rage and they want to get back at each other. They dont want the hurt in their hearts of losing someone they love, a brother, a friend, a family member. So they make the other feel the pain they felt, and it goes on and on and on and it wil never end. Bloods and Crips get along in prison, but not out of prison so much because they can't really be friends and be in different gangs, but they do help each other out some times.
