blood

The Bloods originated at the Sentennial High School from the Piru gang, which took its name from Piru Street in Compton, California. It formed to protect members from the Crips, and then other gangs with the same motive started using the names Piru and Bloods to signify alignment with the main gang. Although the Bloods are a smaller group than the Crips, they are potentially dangerous, particularly when present in any numbers.
