New Haven CT Gang War - Bloods Vs Crips - He Killed His "Brother" 4 The Gang & To Save Himself

This story is about the red side guerilla bloods in new haven connecticut that were feuding with the grape street crips. Okay, it’s been awhile since we came back to Connecticut. This is a story, a sad one, one of betrayal, and murder, all in loyalty to the gang. We are not going to waste any time, let’s get into it. Starting in October 2013, as part of an investigation named, Operation Red Side, a number of members and associates of the Connecticut faction of the Red Side Guerilla Brims Bloods street gang, based in New Haven Connecticut, had been charged with narcotics and firearms offenses. The Brims formed as an off-shoot of the Bloods street gang in New York State prisons in the mid-1990s. According to Brims lore, in May 1995, O G Mack, the founder of the Bloods in New York, gave permission to an individual named lacy, to establish the first Brims set, the 5 9 Brims. At that time, the Brims fell under o g macks United Blood Nation, or UBN. In April 2002, the Brims split from UBN and formed the New York Brim Blood Army, or the NYBBA. Nonetheless, the Brims share many characteristics with the Bloods, including initiation rituals; the use of elaborate hand signals and code words to communicate covertly; and strict rules of conduct, including rules against cooperating with authorities, or snitching, and rules requiring retaliation against gang members and others who snitch, or whenever else ordered by higher ranking members. in or about December 2014, the Red Side Guerilla Brims was sanctioned on March 24, 1999 and was a Bloods set under the UBN. If you know, you know. Amid some changes and disputes within the hierarchy of the UBN, the Red Side Guerilla Brims was faded from the UBN. It was then reinstated by then leader (or God Father), Wise Red, under the New York Bloods (NYB). In August 2003, Wise Red brought the Red Side Guerilla Brims into the NYBBA. Since then they have been referred to as the Red Side Guerilla Brims or RSGB. Like the other eight sets within the NYBBA, the RSGB has adopted the name of a popular automobile, the Range Rover. Members will often call each other, Range or Hat boy. The organization will also refer to itself as the hood. New members must be initiated by current members, which involves, among other things, a 59-second group assault, and swearing an oath of loyalty. The gang is extremely well organized. RSGB also has a strict hierarchy, which recognizes the following ranks: (1) Soldier; (2) One Star General; (3) Two Star General; (4) Three Star General; (5) Four Star General; (6) 5 Five Star General; (7) Low 20 or Low O.G.; (8) High 20 or High O.G.; and (9) the Godfather. The enterprise named in the Indictment is merely a faction of the larger Brims gang and is comprised of a group of individuals operating as the RSGB in and around New Haven Connecticut. In particular, in late 2010, poncho and pop off brought RSGB from New York to New Haven after the two men had been fellow gang members in a different Bloods set. Poncho recruited a number of individuals into the gang, including santana and snookie. fresh quickly became a powerful force within the gang. He recruited chewy and his brother t black, he also had control over Rico and Miles, though neither ever became actual members of the gang. During the time period identified in the Indictment, the RSGB had regular meetings at which the gang’s affairs were discussed, including pending rivalries with other gangs, internal problems within the gang, the necessity to discipline errant members, and prospects for pecuniary gain. One of the reasons that Fresh had such control and credibility within the gang was his willingness to commit armed robberies and shootings. The RSGB and their associates had longstanding rivalries with a number of other local street gangs, including the Crips. The RSGB, known as one of the toughest and most violent Bloods sets, also frequently clashed with other Bloods sets based in and around New Haven. The RSGB engaged in numerous acts of violence in connection with these rivalries.
