In today’s Times a Baltimore Crips member said gangs had taken to the streets because “there is only so far that you can push people into a corner. We’re frustrated and that’s why we’re out there in the streets.”
He went on to way that he and some “Bloods,” another gang, stood together to prevent black-owned stores from looting and vandalism.
He was proud of the way Crips and Bloods worked together. He said they pointed rioters and looters toward Chinese and Arab-owned stores.
I think it is wonderful that Crips and Bloods can overcome their animosity, but I still can’t quite see that as progress.
