East
Side Bounty Hunter Watts Bloods
Prior to the formation of the
Bounty Hunters, the main group in this area was the Green Jackets.
The Bounty Hunters started around 1969/1970 and was firmly
established by 1972. It is believed that Gary Barker was very
influential during Bounty Hunter's beginnings. Also Bobby Jack (b.
1955) was one of the founding members. The Bell Haven Bounty
Hunters formed around 1978 to the west of Central Avenue just south
of the train tracks. Around 1981, Renee McGowen began the Lot
Bounty Hunters. They eventually have formed the following subsets;
Lot Boys, Block Boys, Bell Haven, Ace Line on 111th Street, Duece
Line on 112th Street, Tray Line on 113th Street, Four Line on 114th
Street, and Five Line on 115th Street.
Their main rival would be
the Grape Street Watts in the Jordan Downs Housing Projects but
since 1992 there was a truce between them and the other gangs in
Watts. Although the truce has been in effect for some time, there
are occasional problems between the Crips and Bloods in Watts, but
not like had occurred during the late 1980s.This neighborhood is
known for shooting at the police and even their own
members.
Michael "Harry O" Harris and Mike Conception are from
this neighborhood. Harris produced a play in 1987 called
"Checkmates" that starred Denzel Washington and is considered the
financial muscle behind the formation of Death Row records while he
was in prison. Harris was convicted of the kidnapping and attempted
murder in 1987 and is currently serving 28 years in a California
State prison.
Although Mike Conception claimed Crip, much of him
family were Bloods from this neighborhood and he was born in Watts.
Conception was a serious hustler and pimp and was paralyzed during
a dice game when he was 21, but he got into the music producing
business during the mid 1980s, and he worked with Eazy-E, Dr. Dre,
MC Hammer, Digital Underground and others when he produced the
popular west coast version of "Self Destruction" called, "We're All
in the Same Gang" in 1989. An interview with Mr. Conception
appeared in the 1999 F.E.D.S. Magazine (Vol.2, Issue #6) that goes
into more detail.Mostly young people are the most dangerous ones of
this set.Some of the most dangerous ones of Brooklyn,New York are
two brothers that go arrested on 12/23/07 for gang
violence.
they're names are Barret Jayceon Bradly, a young black
man about the age of 18, and Paul Johnson,a young Peurto
Rican/black man about the age of 16-17.
"P.J." was stabbed twice
in the upper torso on a Sunday night. He was hospitalized for 3
weeks."He went into recovery for one week and came out stronger
than he ever was" said one of the Doctors.
Barret was arrested
on 4 February 2008 beating an alleged "south side crip."His
statment on the situation was that he was not guilty, but ready to
take the sentence they gave him. He was charged for Attempted man
slaughter. He is serving 18 months (a year and a half)in Upstate
New York Penn.
