      the original crips were bold too they robbed whole concerts and mobbed stores etc. made the papers. their notoriety was on a different level aswell

Even before the rampant killing, people were still being victimized by the children/teens in there own community

    The movie bastards of the party tried to make it sound like the crips came from the ashes of the civil rights movement, particularly the US organization and the Panthers.
    Donald Archie also claims in one of his videos that the crips Were just young guys that wanted to be known for something and basically rebelled against the evil society of the streets. Bacot also mentions in one of his interviews that they went from being the prey to the predators which also is not true.
    The C.R.I.P acronym didn't come about till the 1970s and that was in regards to gang prevention and I believe Raymond's are in jail at the time that came out (please correct me if I'm wrong)

    Jimmy tells his truth in the way I like everybody to tell their truths, without equivocation, even with someone as revered as the great Raymond Washington (RIP). The temptation for most would be to water down what they believe because Raymond is so beloved by so many and for good reason too! Jimmy hasn't (in my opinion) in his KMV interviews when speaking on Mr. Washington, nor did Craig Munson. To me it adds authenticity. Now, whether or not their POV is true to others? Kev always says folk are enttitled to their own opinion, and he's right. Like a brilliant defense attorney once told a jury, "reasonable minds can differ." Under the statute, Is that killing by the defendant manslaughter or self-defense? To the deceased's family, aint no question--look at the facts-- it's a murder, and to the defendant's family, aint' no question--look at the facts--my boy wasn't doing anything but defending himself.

    Jimmy lavender gets a lot of BS because in his first video he stated that Raymond was not a hog that he keeps hearing stories about people claiming Raymond was a hog but in their neighborhood the neighborhood they grew up in Raymond wasn't known as a hog.
    Now what a coincidence that the crips weren't started in that neighborhood. Raymond started the crips at Bethune Junior high which is nowhere near Watts or the Florence Firestone area. He started the crips with a bunch of younger guys, guys that were at least two years younger than him and in teenage years 2 years is a lot and that's also the reason why a lot of the guys that started the crips with Raymond branched off and started their own gangs. They started these gangs because they matured and grew bigger than Raymond and he didn't have the influence over them that he wants did. To make a long story short Raymond reinvented himself when he got to Bethune Middle School because nobody was there from the old neighborhood.
    You can get all this information by watching Kevs videos. Jimmy lavender's first video babalouies first videos, All the info's there. They specifically talk about that. Just gotta use a little common sense and understand just a little bit about human behavior. It's not hard.

    • @pharoah1200
      @pharoah1200 3 місяці тому +4

      So, much of what stated was and is, incorrect. There's just too incorrect info there that I don't want to do a couple of paragraphs to decipher. But, first off, Raymond grew up in the Florence area. Secondly, Raymond didn't start the Crips at Bethune Jr.High. Raymond was at Fremont when he started the Crips. Do the math. The Crips didn't start until 1969. Raymond was not a hog in our neighborhood. Raymond was just a ruffian amongst ruffians. There were a whole lot of tough guys in the Florence-Firestone community. A helluva whole lot. Raymond just clicked up with certain individuals who would follow or participate with his agenda. Florence-Firestone was and still is "Hog Heaven." And that's from the Bishops, to the whole ECC, to Florence 13, to the Kitchens, to the Family Swans, to Elm St, to Hickory St, to the Avalons, and etcetera. Raymond was not the biggest nor the baddest in the neighborhood. Raymond did have the charisma the leadership ability to entice others to follow.

      pharoah1200 how was raymond not a hog ? He couldn't be just charismatic in those days you had to be cause if not no one would have followed ecc was raymond Washingtons dream a united east crips mr lavender has his point of view even kev mac said it jimmy comes off a bit jelous ,he shows more love towards jimel than raymond n he was not close to jimel like he was with raymond even in his original interview he had facts wrong so history is blurry so take everything with a grain of salt cause it crazy that most og westside and eastside crips hold him in high standards but an enemy which mr lavender was shows a bit of hate towards him you can easily tell .
      The revolutionary thing is true its hard to believe they were about that but were inspired by their togetherness n power they projected but it was not about protecting the crips were the bullys n raymond did start something that grew to be something bad n destructive but you gotta give respect were its due raymond was the leader like monster kody said the top of cripdom was raymond lee Washington from compton to south central, watts l.a county ,prison his name rings bells
      A crip not scared and nade older members in prison want to be crips thats crazy but mr lavender is intitled to his opinion as other ogs are too.
