1
00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:20,640
Gangs rule their territories through
ruthless enterprises, fear, and a strict code.

2
00:00:23,399 --> 00:00:26,899
Deviate from this code,
or challenge their power.

3
00:00:29,050 --> 00:00:31,329
Retribution soon follows.

4
00:00:33,899 --> 00:00:40,159
Especially for one of the most ferocious
street gangs in Los Angeles, the Bloods.

5
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,030
From their start as defiant
underdogs to becoming a powerful,

6
00:00:46,030 --> 00:00:48,229
violent force in South Central,

7
00:00:48,229 --> 00:00:53,509
here are three stories that establish
the brutal reputation of the Bloods.

8
00:00:54,229 --> 00:00:57,369
First, a turf war
between the Bloods and their

9
00:00:57,369 --> 00:01:00,170
archenemy takes over
the city of Los Angeles.

10
00:01:00,549 --> 00:01:03,149
By the time I was 16, I had
already been to about 20 funerals.

11
00:01:04,069 --> 00:01:07,609
Next, when two iconic
rappers are assassinated,

12
00:01:07,609 --> 00:01:12,159
the war between the Bloods
and Crips goes national.

13
00:01:12,620 --> 00:01:14,890
They see the BMW that Tupac is in.

14
00:01:15,390 --> 00:01:18,930
Orlando Anderson simply leans
out the window and begins to fire.

15
00:01:21,140 --> 00:01:27,620
And last, a murder spree catapults the
Bloods to the top of LA's Most Wanted list.

16
00:01:28,299 --> 00:01:29,780
They were completely out of control.

17
00:01:31,299 --> 00:01:35,900
These are the stories from
inside Los Angeles' Bloods.

18
00:01:36,859 --> 00:01:39,549
This is Gangland Chronicles.

19
00:01:46,810 --> 00:01:49,689
1972, Los Angeles.

20
00:01:51,530 --> 00:01:54,010
Known as the gang capital of America,

21
00:01:54,010 --> 00:01:57,549
it's here where the Bloods
become one of the world's

22
00:01:57,549 --> 00:01:59,680
most violent and notorious street gangs.

23
00:02:03,459 --> 00:02:06,879
But the Bloods wouldn't
exist without another

24
00:02:06,879 --> 00:02:09,810
well-known Los Angeles gang, the Crips.

25
00:02:11,449 --> 00:02:16,180
The Crips were a dominant force that
was taking over almost every area,

26
00:02:16,180 --> 00:02:18,370
every neighborhood in 1971 and 72.

27
00:02:21,819 --> 00:02:23,539
Using violence and intimidation,

28
00:02:23,539 --> 00:02:28,669
the Crips forced smaller neighborhood
gangs across the city to join them.

29
00:02:29,629 --> 00:02:34,069
Crips were so powerful, and there were so
many of them, a lot of people just said,

30
00:02:34,069 --> 00:02:36,159
hey, if you can't beat them, join them.

31
00:02:38,819 --> 00:02:41,939
But there are neighborhood
gangs who are sick of the

32
00:02:41,939 --> 00:02:44,129
Crips bulldozing their
way through South Central.

33
00:02:45,129 --> 00:02:50,050
They unite and become known as the Bloods.

34
00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:56,819
The Bloods came together to
form an alliance to fight against

35
00:02:56,819 --> 00:02:59,580
the advancement and
aggressiveness of the Crips.

36
00:03:00,699 --> 00:03:04,840
Wearing red to differentiate
themselves from the Crips who wear blue,

37
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,990
the Bloods Alliance is
outnumbered three to one by the Crips.

38
00:03:09,889 --> 00:03:14,490
Being outnumbered makes an individual
know that there may be no help in sight.

39
00:03:15,050 --> 00:03:19,659
You have to learn how to maneuver,
manipulate a fight with three guys.

40
00:03:21,550 --> 00:03:24,069
They may be outnumbered and outgunned,

41
00:03:24,069 --> 00:03:28,680
but the Bloods are not content
to be LA's criminal underdogs.

42
00:03:29,759 --> 00:03:31,960
They became tougher, I think.

43
00:03:32,620 --> 00:03:35,259
They were used to fighting.
They were always prepared.

44
00:03:36,479 --> 00:03:39,990
They seemed to be better
organized and dedicated.

45
00:03:40,949 --> 00:03:44,080
That includes trying to make
more money than the Crips.

46
00:03:44,979 --> 00:03:46,300
They knew how to diversify.

47
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,780
They would deal in drugs, stolen cars.

48
00:03:51,990 --> 00:03:57,289
They would do extortion. And they
attempt to be more violent than the Crips.

49
00:04:00,610 --> 00:04:02,110
You want the gang to be feared.

50
00:04:05,930 --> 00:04:08,629
And so you've gotta be
able to have people willing

51
00:04:08,629 --> 00:04:11,060
to go and shoot somebody
in front of witnesses.

52
00:04:13,449 --> 00:04:15,069
As the Blood's ranks grow,

53
00:04:15,069 --> 00:04:17,990
it's only a matter of
time before Los Angeles

54
00:04:17,990 --> 00:04:20,899
is caught in the middle of a deadly war.

55
00:04:27,730 --> 00:04:28,990
June 5th, 1972. Compton.

56
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,250
A party is in full swing when
a crip gang member confronts

57
00:04:38,250 --> 00:04:40,019
17-year-old Frederick
Little Country Garrett,

58
00:04:40,019 --> 00:04:43,910
a member of a gang that
will soon join the Bloods.

59
00:04:45,029 --> 00:04:48,769
Little Country, he was
a known fighter in L.A.

60
00:04:49,670 --> 00:04:51,389
Didn't care about the
advancement of the Crips.

61
00:04:52,170 --> 00:04:52,870
He would fight them.

62
00:04:53,389 --> 00:04:54,569
He was good with his hands.

63
00:04:57,939 --> 00:05:02,600
Details are sketchy, but Garrett
is shot and killed by the Crip.

64
00:05:04,129 --> 00:05:07,889
His death marks the first Crips
murder against a rival gang member.

65
00:05:10,220 --> 00:05:12,759
Three months later, the blood strike back.

66
00:05:15,370 --> 00:05:18,699
The Bloods kill their
first Crip, Thomas Ellis.

67
00:05:19,620 --> 00:05:24,519
And the war between the Bloods
and Crips officially begins.

68
00:05:25,540 --> 00:05:29,649
That just turned everything around to
where the homicide rate started going up.

69
00:05:31,490 --> 00:05:39,269
Between 1972 and 1979, the
hatred results in 450 casualties.

70
00:05:40,290 --> 00:05:46,069
If one of the homeboys got
shot, I had to make it my business,

71
00:05:46,069 --> 00:05:51,019
because if you don't retaliate,
then it's going to happen more often.

72
00:05:52,519 --> 00:05:55,509
It was all about fighting
Crips, and that was it.

73
00:05:57,290 --> 00:06:04,139
But in 1982, everything changes with the
introduction of a new street drug, crack.

74
00:06:05,420 --> 00:06:10,759
And it will spark the deadliest era yet
in the war between the Bloods and the Crips.

75
00:06:16,399 --> 00:06:18,870
1982, Los Angeles.

76
00:06:20,069 --> 00:06:22,310
A new drug floods the market,

77
00:06:22,310 --> 00:06:26,430
and the feud between the Bloods
and Crips reaches deadly heights.

78
00:06:30,060 --> 00:06:32,560
The crack cocaine was the escalation point

79
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,420
where these wars
became really out of hand.

80
00:06:37,189 --> 00:06:42,209
A small rock could get you a lot more
money than a vial of powdered cocaine.

81
00:06:42,610 --> 00:06:43,779
And it was easier to control.

82
00:06:44,420 --> 00:06:51,689
So they would cut these cocaine cookies
up into little rocks and sell these rocks.

83
00:06:51,790 --> 00:06:54,250
And it's highly addictive.
I mean, really addictive.

84
00:06:54,980 --> 00:06:59,000
They made more and more money. They were
able to buy cocaine in larger quantities.

85
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,759
They were able to finance labs.

86
00:07:01,459 --> 00:07:03,490
The escalation just went out of sight.

87
00:07:05,750 --> 00:07:08,899
Crips and the Bloods went from
hustling and selling dope and

88
00:07:08,899 --> 00:07:11,490
making kibbles and bits to
making millions of dollars.

89
00:07:12,579 --> 00:07:16,160
And so put them in a position to
buy a lot of high-powered weapons in

90
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,790
order to protect their territories
from where they were hustling at.

91
00:07:23,449 --> 00:07:30,019
It was so easy to use an assault rifle
opposed to a .38, and you did more damage.

92
00:07:33,670 --> 00:07:35,790
It was not unusual at all,

93
00:07:35,790 --> 00:07:39,319
even within the small divisions
of South Central Los Angeles,

94
00:07:39,319 --> 00:07:41,439
to have multiple murders a night.

95
00:07:44,180 --> 00:07:47,600
The local hospital there,
named after Martin Luther King,

96
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,019
became known as Killer
King because so many people

97
00:07:51,019 --> 00:07:53,310
passed away in that particular hospital.

98
00:07:58,779 --> 00:08:00,800
Between 1980 and 1989, there are
over 3,000 gang-related murders in LA.

99
00:08:08,709 --> 00:08:13,709
The level of violence and killing in
Los Angeles became so intense and common

100
00:08:13,709 --> 00:08:18,339
that it ranks up there with the
casualties of Vietnam or of Korea.

101
00:08:18,839 --> 00:08:22,910
In fact, the late 1980s
to the early 1990s were

102
00:08:22,910 --> 00:08:26,170
the most violent period
in Los Angeles history.

103
00:08:28,889 --> 00:08:30,410
I found dead bodies in the neighborhood.

104
00:08:31,490 --> 00:08:34,179
I've seen people's
brains blown out point blank.

105
00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:38,659
I watched my best friend get
cut in half with an AK-47.

106
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,070
By the time I was 16, I had
already been to about 20 funerals.

107
00:08:46,289 --> 00:08:51,879
The deadly war that's been
dominating local news will soon make national

108
00:08:51,879 --> 00:08:55,610
headlines when two of
the world's most famous

109
00:08:55,610 --> 00:08:58,529
rappers choose sides. 1991, Los Angeles.

110
00:09:05,429 --> 00:09:09,269
Death Row Records catapults
gangster rap up the Billboard charts.

111
00:09:10,809 --> 00:09:16,059
Co-founder Suge Knight, a Compton native,
hires his old friends from a blood group,

112
00:09:16,059 --> 00:09:19,059
the Mob Piru, as the
label's security detail.

113
00:09:20,269 --> 00:09:24,779
My job was to fight, shut
people up, and whatever it was,

114
00:09:24,779 --> 00:09:27,409
whatever it takes to fix a situation.

115
00:09:28,649 --> 00:09:32,169
Suge began to dress in
red and identify himself

116
00:09:32,169 --> 00:09:34,899
as being part of this gang organization.

117
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:40,100
And Death Row's biggest act,
Tupac Shakur, gets in on the action.

118
00:09:41,220 --> 00:09:46,759
You've got all of these blood gang
members around Suge Knight, around the studio.

119
00:09:47,490 --> 00:09:50,029
They have a certain
influence on Tupac Shakur.

120
00:09:51,210 --> 00:09:54,809
He's beginning to act
more and more gangster.

121
00:09:55,610 --> 00:10:00,549
He's about to get involved in the
war between the Bloods and the Crips.

122
00:10:03,450 --> 00:10:07,629
September 7th, 1996, Las Vegas.

123
00:10:09,110 --> 00:10:13,840
After watching his friend Mike Tyson
win his fight against Bruce Seldon,

124
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:19,759
Tupac steps into the lobby of the MGM
Grand, surrounded by the Blood security team.

125
00:10:21,769 --> 00:10:24,799
What they don't know is
that a rival from the

126
00:10:24,799 --> 00:10:26,919
Southside Compton Crips is in the crowd.

127
00:10:28,259 --> 00:10:31,539
Orlando Anderson is known
by law enforcement and by

128
00:10:31,539 --> 00:10:35,190
his own group of friends
as a very dangerous guy,

129
00:10:35,190 --> 00:10:38,480
a guy who won't hesitate to pull a gun.

130
00:10:40,620 --> 00:10:45,669
Tensions between the gangs are at a
breaking point after Anderson had attempted

131
00:10:45,669 --> 00:10:49,549
to steal a diamond-encrusted
death row medallion back in Compton.

132
00:10:51,309 --> 00:10:55,720
Suddenly, Tupac and his blood's
bodyguards spot Anderson through the crowd.

133
00:10:56,940 --> 00:10:59,799
Doesn't matter if you're in Los
Angeles, Las Vegas, wherever.

134
00:10:59,830 --> 00:11:03,970
If a crip sees the blood,
there's always going to be tension.

135
00:11:03,990 --> 00:11:06,330
And one small thing can spark it off.

136
00:11:07,250 --> 00:11:11,590
What happens next changes the
American rap industry forever.

137
00:11:13,029 --> 00:11:15,429
September 7th, 1996, Las Vegas.

138
00:11:28,740 --> 00:11:31,620
In the lobby of the MGM Grand,

139
00:11:31,620 --> 00:11:36,970
Tupac Shakur and his Bloods bodyguards
have spotted a rival crip, Orlando Anderson,

140
00:11:36,970 --> 00:11:40,669
who's recently stolen a
valuable necklace from the group.

141
00:11:41,809 --> 00:11:45,970
Tupac, siding with the
Bloods, sees an opportunity.

142
00:11:47,149 --> 00:11:50,289
He runs over, he sucker
punches Orlando Anderson.

143
00:11:50,870 --> 00:11:54,409
The rest of the gang members start
stomping this individual because

144
00:11:54,409 --> 00:11:57,639
he was trying to impress
the gang members around him.

145
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,960
Strutting out of the MGM, Tupac
and his entourage head to a party.

146
00:12:04,169 --> 00:12:08,019
But Orlando Anderson and his
fellow Crips don't wait to act.

147
00:12:08,940 --> 00:12:11,240
Orlando Anderson has just been attacked.

148
00:12:11,620 --> 00:12:14,409
He doesn't really have a
choice but to retaliate if

149
00:12:14,409 --> 00:12:16,929
he wants to maintain his
reputation within the gang.

150
00:12:18,230 --> 00:12:22,570
The Southside Crips load into a
vehicle and go hunting for Tupac.

151
00:12:23,789 --> 00:12:27,529
We start hearing words that
Southside Crips is coming to 662,

152
00:12:27,529 --> 00:12:30,929
which is a club that we had in Las Vegas.

153
00:12:31,889 --> 00:12:35,960
Down the street from the club, the
Southside Crips spot their target.

154
00:12:37,100 --> 00:12:39,299
They see the BMW that Tupac is in.

155
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,559
Orlando Anderson simply leans
out the window and begins to fire.

156
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,230
Tupac is shot multiple times.

157
00:12:55,450 --> 00:12:57,049
After six days in the hospital...

158
00:13:02,259 --> 00:13:04,220
The 25-year-old rapper dies.

159
00:13:06,139 --> 00:13:10,570
Tupac is dead because nobody stopped him.

160
00:13:11,990 --> 00:13:15,049
If he didn't want to fit
in or didn't try to fit in,

161
00:13:15,049 --> 00:13:16,470
Tupac probably would still be here.

162
00:13:17,899 --> 00:13:20,909
Tupac's murder is all over the news,

163
00:13:20,909 --> 00:13:24,769
and the Bloods and Crips
rivalry makes national headlines.

164
00:13:25,570 --> 00:13:30,799
When police question Southside Crip
Orlando Anderson, he denies any involvement.

165
00:13:31,879 --> 00:13:35,120
No arrests are made in Tupac's murder,

166
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,750
and rumors start circulating that
his biggest rival, Biggie Smalls,

167
00:13:39,750 --> 00:13:42,529
aka the Notorious B.I.G., is involved.

168
00:13:43,490 --> 00:13:46,409
Street rumors started that
Biggie had hired the Crips

169
00:13:46,409 --> 00:13:49,649
and that really Biggie was
behind the murder of Tupac.

170
00:13:51,299 --> 00:13:54,720
So the shooting started, if not
that night, the very next night.

171
00:13:57,590 --> 00:14:01,480
In the city of Compton, there was a
war between the Crips and the Lions.

172
00:14:03,450 --> 00:14:06,149
The violence spirals out of control.

173
00:14:07,190 --> 00:14:12,820
The Bloods want payback for Tupac's
murder and look for a high-profile target.

174
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:15,259
March 9, 1997. Los Angeles.

175
00:14:20,669 --> 00:14:25,110
Biggie Smalls arrives in town with
his record producer, Sean Puffy Combs.

176
00:14:26,470 --> 00:14:28,600
Combs hires the Southside Crips,

177
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,000
the same group that is
most likely responsible

178
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,980
for Tupac's death, to act as bodyguards.

179
00:14:37,379 --> 00:14:41,559
Suge was affiliated with the Bloods.
Their natural rivals were the Crips.

180
00:14:42,620 --> 00:14:47,500
Puffy Combs decided, best thing I can do
is affiliate myself with Crips so that

181
00:14:47,500 --> 00:14:52,690
I have a layer of protection when I'm
in Los Angeles to protect me from Suge.

182
00:14:54,710 --> 00:14:58,740
And the Bloods see their
opportunity for revenge when Biggie Smalls

183
00:14:58,740 --> 00:15:01,669
leaves a party at the
Peterson Automotive Museum.

184
00:15:06,220 --> 00:15:08,159
Smalls is shot dead.

185
00:15:11,100 --> 00:15:13,580
The individual that shot
and killed Biggie Smalls,

186
00:15:13,580 --> 00:15:17,919
he was a member of the Bloods in
Compton, closely affiliated with Suge Knight.

187
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:24,149
So it's just tit for tat, tit for tat.
It's just stereotypical gang retaliation.

188
00:15:26,139 --> 00:15:31,029
Tupac and Biggie's assassinations
make the Bloods and Crips feud famous.

189
00:15:32,309 --> 00:15:35,600
But the Bloods find a new
enemy coming after them

190
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,899
when their crime spree turns them into...

191
00:15:41,860 --> 00:15:43,639
LA's Most Wanted.

192
00:15:45,519 --> 00:15:47,559
August 4th, 2007.

193
00:15:49,019 --> 00:15:50,419
Linwood, California.

194
00:15:51,620 --> 00:15:53,000
On the border of Compton,

195
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,850
a young woman and her boyfriend are
leaving a liquor store with some snacks.

196
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:03,220
The liquor store is a gang area. Ma
Pairus are Bloods, and Palmonokes are Crips.

197
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,940
And they frequently
feud over the territory.

198
00:16:07,279 --> 00:16:12,179
As the young couple head to their car,
they pass two Crips standing outside.

199
00:16:13,659 --> 00:16:17,019
And all of a sudden, four
vehicles drive by the liquor store.

200
00:16:19,909 --> 00:16:26,789
And gunfire erupts, putting the
couple in the crossfire of a turf war.

201
00:16:30,690 --> 00:16:32,009
August 4, 2007, Linwood, California.

202
00:16:37,090 --> 00:16:40,879
A young couple leaving a
liquor store in Bloods and Crips'

203
00:16:40,879 --> 00:16:44,320
disputed territory are caught
in the middle of a drive-by.

204
00:16:52,269 --> 00:16:55,490
A bullet hits the young
woman, and she dies at the scene.

205
00:16:58,059 --> 00:17:01,600
It's only the beginning of
the Blood's deadly rampage.

206
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,430
Multiple shootings continued to occur.

207
00:17:09,029 --> 00:17:11,289
Over a three-month period,
there had been four shootings.

208
00:17:11,309 --> 00:17:17,039
The drive-bys are a tactic to
raise the gang's reputation.

209
00:17:18,089 --> 00:17:19,470
They were completely out of control.

210
00:17:20,289 --> 00:17:21,730
We really did have to stop it.

211
00:17:22,529 --> 00:17:24,440
Let's start taking these individuals down.

212
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,789
The LA County Sheriff's Department
launches Operation Kill in Court.

213
00:17:30,950 --> 00:17:32,599
Using surveillance and wiretaps,

214
00:17:32,599 --> 00:17:36,730
they hope not only to solve
the liquor store homicide,

215
00:17:36,730 --> 00:17:39,210
but also take down the Bloods.

216
00:17:41,910 --> 00:17:46,880
Weeks into the operation,
officers catch wind of a deadly plan.

217
00:17:48,140 --> 00:17:51,029
There was one night when we
were listening to the phones,

218
00:17:51,029 --> 00:17:54,440
they planned to do a drive-by
shooting at a nightclub in Orange County.

219
00:17:56,170 --> 00:18:00,750
They were saying they had some
AK-47 assault rifles that they

220
00:18:00,750 --> 00:18:05,329
were going to use on Crips
coming out of the nightclub.

221
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,579
But before the gang gets to the nightclub,

222
00:18:11,579 --> 00:18:15,890
they're tipped off that police are
in the area and abort the mission.

223
00:18:17,849 --> 00:18:20,130
We were able to prevent a mass shooting.

224
00:18:21,339 --> 00:18:24,319
If they would have been
able to pull this off,

225
00:18:24,319 --> 00:18:27,299
their reputation would have
been huge in the gang world.

226
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,079
The Bloods' crimes are escalating,

227
00:18:30,079 --> 00:18:33,190
but police still don't
have enough to solve the

228
00:18:33,190 --> 00:18:36,289
murder of the young
victim at the liquor store.

229
00:18:38,019 --> 00:18:42,680
Their intel points them to a gang
associate named Maurice Bennett.

230
00:18:43,579 --> 00:18:46,549
We don't believe that he's
a full-fledged gang member,

231
00:18:46,549 --> 00:18:51,160
but he certainly hangs out with them and
participates in some of their activity.

232
00:18:52,630 --> 00:18:55,609
So we think that
Maurice might be a weak link.

233
00:18:57,220 --> 00:19:00,690
To their surprise, Bennett
breaks down and confesses

234
00:19:00,690 --> 00:19:03,720
to his role in the drive-by shooting.

235
00:19:05,660 --> 00:19:08,690
So Bennett identifies the other
three gang members that were involved.

236
00:19:10,069 --> 00:19:10,990
So we had to scramble.

237
00:19:11,509 --> 00:19:16,180
We had to find them and arrest
them before they knew that we knew.

238
00:19:18,670 --> 00:19:22,539
Alex Graves, Robert Maxwell,
and a juvenile are arrested.

239
00:19:23,579 --> 00:19:27,029
Along with Bennett, they are
charged with first-degree murder.

240
00:19:30,230 --> 00:19:32,670
But the Sheriff's
Department isn't done yet.

241
00:19:33,690 --> 00:19:37,450
This investigation was twofold. We
were going to solve the homicide,

242
00:19:37,450 --> 00:19:39,930
but we were also going
to dismantle the gang.

243
00:19:40,609 --> 00:19:43,500
So now we put in to effect phase two.

244
00:19:45,619 --> 00:19:46,059
July 8, 2008.

245
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:47,319
Compton.

246
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,079
Based on information from the wiretaps,

247
00:19:55,079 --> 00:20:01,819
about 450 law enforcement officers
conduct raids, seizing drugs and guns,

248
00:20:01,819 --> 00:20:04,890
and arresting 16 gang members.

249
00:20:08,220 --> 00:20:09,880
We disrupted that gang.

250
00:20:10,619 --> 00:20:12,410
We were able to stop the
violence that was going on.

251
00:20:15,509 --> 00:20:18,240
While Operation Kill
in Court is successful,

252
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,140
the Bloods continue to
exist and still have a strong

253
00:20:22,140 --> 00:20:24,480
presence in their birthplace, Los Angeles.

254
00:20:25,950 --> 00:20:29,089
The Bloods changed Los
Angeles for the worse.

255
00:20:29,609 --> 00:20:33,900
I believe it started out to
be protective and stop the

256
00:20:33,900 --> 00:20:37,019
aggression of other people
coming in our communities,

257
00:20:37,019 --> 00:20:38,960
but it turned into lawlessness.

258
00:20:39,839 --> 00:20:46,230
Currently, there are between 15,000 and
20,000 members across the United States.

259
00:20:47,509 --> 00:20:50,230
The Blood's legacy is well established.

260
00:20:50,750 --> 00:20:56,009
It's kind of tentacles that continue to
go out and now plagues an entire nation.
