Ballas-Grove Street War: Difference between revisions

'''The Ballas-Grove Street War''' was a [[Gang Wars|gang war]] fought between The [[Ballas]] and The [[Grove Street Families]], led by [[Sean Johnson]] and his brother [[Carl Johnson]]. The participants of the war were [[Kane]], [[Little Weasel]], [[Little Devil]], [[Big Devil]], [[Tony (GSF)|Tony]], [[Carl Johnson]], [[Ryder]], [[Big Smoke]] and [[Sean Johnson]].

The start of the war had never been explained but it may have started when drugs were introduced to [[Los Santos]]. The Ballas started making money selling drugs while GSF leader Sean "Sweet" Johnson refused to sell drugs, making Grove Street weaker. After the death of Beverley, her son Carl "CJ" Johnson came back from [[Liberty City]] and moved back to [[Los Santos]]. The funeral was attacked by Ballas but no one was hurt or killed. Many members of Grove Street had disbanded the gang when drugs were introduced such as [[Big Bear]] and [[B-Dup]]. CJ tried to reunite the gang but B-Dup angrily refused. Big Bear had become a crack-head and a servant to B-Dup. CJ and Ryder attempted to get rid of the drug dealers around their area and killed many Balla crack dealers. CJ also convinced the gang to start buying from [[Emmet]] again.

Corrupt [[C.R.A.S.H.]] members [[Frank Tenpenny]], [[Eddie Pulaski]] and [[Jimmy Hernandez]] told both gangs about a train filled with ammunition, heading torwards Los Santos. The Grove Street Families managed to take the guns and all the Ballas were slaughtered. While GSF members Big Smoke, Ryder, Sweet and CJ were out getting food, they were attacked by Ballas but they managed to kill all of them. The Grove Street got revenge on them and did a drive-by on their turf, killing [[Little Weasel]]. At Little Weasel's funeral, Sweet and CJ got revenge on Beverley's funeral attack and killed Temple Drive leader [[Kane]]. CJ also started taking over Ballas turf. Sweet was going to attack more Ballas gang members under the [[Mulholland Intersection]] ,but this was a trap. Big Smoke was working with the Ballas and had betrayed their old gang. Sweet was wounded before CJ got their but he was taken away by C.R.A.S.H while Sweet was arrested.

With Sweet arrested and CJ away, the Grove Street lost major influence and Ballas had major control over Los Santos. The Ballas started working with the [[Loco Syndicate]] and started making more money until CJ killed many members of the Loco Syndicate such as [[T-Bone Mendez]] and [[Jizzy B.]]. The Loco Syndicate then disbanded.

After Sweet was released from prison, he and CJ came back to Los Santos and started taking over territory again. After Tenpenny was cleared from corruption charges, a huge riot started out in Los Santos. CJ came after Big Smoke and had to slaughter many Ballas members along with The [[Russian Mafia]] and [[Los Santos Vagos]]. If the player chooses, they can take all of the Ballas territory, making the Ballas effectively extinct.
