Big Strut Rest In Peace was well known in hawthorne also known as Big Mike. He wad murdered by some young crips on doty ave and el segundo blvd. In 1989 in hawthorne. prior to that Baby Ck was the youngest and first member of HPG to be killed. Big Poo Bear died on 1991 then shank was killed the same year. Notable ygs Ck Mondo was murdered by police after a shooting at th Rock it bar om Rosecrans and Hawthorne blvd.
Original Hawthorne Piru Gang is not the same as the 135 or Dark side pirus who have only been claiming hawthorne for a few years. The 118 crips started as a crew in 1993 or 1994 as the Respect gang,becoming crips in 1994 or 95. Thug family came out in 2001 becoming crips in 2002 or 03. Acacia block hustlers came out in 2002 not becoming crips until 2006. All these gangs exaggerate as to their size & territory. Hawthorne piru has always had a strong prevence between rosecrans and el.segundo and crenshaw to hawthorne blvd. 129th,133rd,134th,139th are some of the sreets they are known to be on. They have kept a low profile due to internal conflict but seem to be reorganizing.
Hawthorne piru gang was the first black gang in hawthorne. The water gate crips claim inglewood although their territory is considered the border of hawthorne and inglewood between imperial and 118th. HPG started in 1982 by Big Strut aka Michael Henry, Big Rush, and Roskoe. An IFG and PDL and VTPmember was present certifying the start of the new hood on 132nd street off Rosekrans blvd. & Prairie ave. Most early members went to leuzinger high off rosecrans. At their peak in the early 90s, there were over 200 members claiming west side, east side, and south side. They had baby gangstas, tiny loks and lady loks until the early 90s when damus stopped using the word lok. Then layer the peewees and tiny dogs. Contrary to popular belief their are still original Hawthorne Pirus in the city although there are onlu about 50 full fledge members they are currently rebuilding.
Trying to get in to the ‘VIP’ section of the SG.com, but the link Alonzo left to e-mail him AFTER I followed him on Twitter was dead.
Shameless self-promotion? Sad.
I don’t expect anyone to respond. That would typical of sites that are not organized. It’s too bad. Alonzo seems to be an educated man. I may not always agree with him, but I respect him.
I kinda got the idea when asked to follow him on twitter, but I went ahead with the rest anyhow.
My bad.

hi, i’m preparin my exams work in graphicdesign with the theme “gang signs” which includes gang hand signs, symbols, communication hand signs, tattoos and grafittis. i’ve found a lot of nice documentaries but i think it’s not enough to crackin the meaning of those hand signs because my intention is to illustrate that hand signs for creatin pictograms. maybe you can give me a piece of advice how i can get some of that hand signs or post some information about that. big thanks in advance
I’ve learn a few great things here. Definitely worth bookmarking for revisiting. I surprise how much effort you place to create such a excellent informative website.
I think other site proprietors should take this site as an model, very clean and excellent user friendly style and design, as well as the content. You are an expert in this topic!
I don’t unremarkably comment but I gotta admit regards for the post on this great one : D.
How many black gangs are left in LA? The Mexicans are moving in and replacing all of the blacks, so how can these black crips and bloods continue if they are leaving south central los angeles?
and yes it’s south central not south LA. I am talking about south central los angeles, not compton.
The early gang killing on 109th st and Figeuroua did have arrests and they were not cribs ,they were the very first Denver Lanes in existance.they were all anti crib or crip, they hung out at figeroua street school and across the street at Assenchan catholic school basketball courts in the summertime 1970-1971. The cacausin man they killed was a former war hero ,but did not survive the streets of south central . if i remember correctly the victom had another man with him but he locked himself in the car and would not open the door while his friend was beaten to death outside of the car , 7 or 8 Lanes did very light juvenile sentences ,I attended school with most of them at Locke high some went to Washington high, some were in middle school at the time . The L.A. Sentinal reported that no arrest were made is not accurate.
why dont you post my comments

Does anyone know how to get this blog on my book reader? It has wifi and showing the rss button, but no dice. Let me know thanks.
Many years ago (mid-1970′s) I volunteerd at Camp Carl Holton in Pacoima. I was a big brother to a Tony “Negro” Sanchez from White Fence in East Los Angeles. I lost contact with him and I had moved to Chicago (worked with First Time Youth Offenders on the South Side). I have often wondered what ever happened to Tony Sanchez? I just finished reading Luis Rodriguez’s book “Always Running.” It made me wonder if Tony survived and turned his life around? He had some very good qualities, and had the ability to make something of himself. Yet, he was overshadowed and controlled by his “homies.” I would like to put to rest the “what ever happen to …” Any info?
