And I, for one, Janine, appreciate everything you do.

And it appears that within this instance, you are right, and I am wrong.

But.

For many years at the Transit Center, I heard not one word relating unto the Crips, or Bloods, but rather individuals that wished to follow within their own footsteps, but not actually members of said gang.

Is their an ORGANIZED movement of the old school Crips and Bloods, that is the adults within the room that promote their own filth?

I no longer know, as I have been out of the game since 2010, that is, listening directly within the Transit Center as to what is truly going on, and speaking with, and listening unto the very individuals you speak of.

That said.

This uptick of violence seems to be a very recent turn of events, over the course of the last few years, and does not "smell", of organized Blood or Crip involvement, but rather wannabes and followers that hold unto no true status of being controlled by the true Blood or Crip gangs.
