The Grove Street Families are in a sorry state upon CJ's return in 1992. Repeated pressure from the Ballas and Vagos, the breaking up into different rival sets, their unwillingness to keep up with changes to make money or gain respect (refusal to sell drugs), and the heavy influence of crack cocaine in their territory has led to their downfall into the weakest and least influential gang in Los Santos. | |||
The Families continued to lose influence and later unity when the gangs factions began to fight against each other. The gang also began to lose influential members such as [[Big Devil]], [[Little Devil]] and [[Tony (GSF)|Tony]], all of whom by [[1992]] were deceased. [[B Dup]] and [[Big Bear]] also began to move into the drugs trade, with Bear becoming heavily addicted and the man servant of Dup. The gang also split into two subsets; Seville Boulevard Families and Temple Drive Families. The Ballas, becoming more powerful and influential, decide to [[The Introduction|try and kill]] Sweet in a drive-by shooting but succeed in killing his [[Beverly Johnson|mother]]. | The Families continued to lose influence and later unity when the gangs factions began to fight against each other.

The Grove Street Families are a black/Afro-american street gang that are easily identifiable by their green gang color. They can be found walking and driving around their territory - often seen smoking marijuana, drinking malt liquor and talking in groups. Like the other gangs, the Families will often flash their gang hand-signs as a form of representation. They also mark their territory with graffiti. Upon spotting a Balla, Vago, or Azteca gang member (especially Ballas) - they will often react with hostility - usually resulting in a street-fight or a fire-fight/shoot-out. | The Grove Street Families are a black/Afro-american street gang that are easily identifiable by their green gang color.

They are depicted as more honorable and traditional then the other gangs of Los Santos. Refusing to adapt to changes in the city - they are quite stubborn. Primarily due to Sweet, they refuse to sell drugs (especially crack cocaine) because Sweet believes it ruins the neighborhood and causes members to be influenced by money, bringing them away from gang-banging. This puts them at a massive disadvantage to the other gangs who are able to make massive profits by selling crack cocaine. | |||
On the streets, the Families are either unarmed or carry the 9mm [[pistol]]. Upon completion of "Robbing Uncle Sam" for Ryder, the Families begin carrying the [[Tec-9]] submachine gun. In missions, they can be seen carrying the [[micro-SMG]] sub-machine gun. If all tags are sprayed by the player in Los Santos, the families replace the Tec-9 and 9mm pistol with the [[knife]], [[Deagle]] and the [[MP5]]. | On the streets, the Families are either unarmed or carry the 9mm [[pistol]].
