18th Hillside Mafia [[Gang Application]]

Gang History:

Kodak Soudiere met Boba South in early 2000 at Los santos gym, the two decided to unite their local gang members from the west and east sides of idlewood in order to battle neighboring street gangs. Most of the members were 17 years old. Kodak discounted the sometimes cited founding date of 1995 in his memoir BRBR, Gang activity in South Central Los Santos has its roots in a variety of factors dating back to the 1950s and '60s,  including post-World War II economic decline leading to joblessness and poverty, racial segregation leading to the formation of black "street clubs" by young African American men who were excluded from organizations such as the boy scouts, and the waning of black nationalist organizations such as the BPP and the Black Power Movement.
By 2000, there were 45 18th Hillside gangs, called sets, operating in Los santos. They were heavily involved in the production of PCP, marijuana and amphetamines. On March 11, 2001,  Jamal Thompson, a member of 18th Hillside Mafias was arrested for four murders and then on August 8, 1979, Dieuson Smith was gunned down. Washington had been against 18th Hillside Mafias infighting and after his death several 18th Hillside Mafias sets started fighting against each other. The 18th  Hillside Mafias leadership was dismantled prompting a deadly gang war between the Bloods Neighborhood Crips and Crenshaw mafia which began causing nearby Crip sets to choose sides and align themselves with either the Gangster 18th Hillside mafias or Neighborhood Crips waging an all out war in East Central and other cities. The East Coast Crips and the Hoover Crips directly severed their alliance after Thompson’s death. By 2002 the 18th Hillside mafias were in turmoil, warring with the Bloods and against each other. The growth and power of the gang really took off in the early 1980s when crack cocaine hit the streets. In the early 2002 18th Hillside Mafias sets began distributing crack cocaine in Los Santos. The huge profits from distribution of crack cocaine induced many 18th Hillside Mafias to establish new markets in other cities and states. As a result, 18th Hillside Mafias  membership grew steadily. In 2005, there were at least 500 18th  Hillside Mafias sets with more than 1k members transporting drugs in the San Andreas.

Gang Practices:

Some practices of 18th Hillside Mafias gang life generally include graffiti and substitutions and deletions of particular letters of the alphabet. The letter "B" in the word "blood" will be "disrespected" among certain sets and written with a cross inside it because of its association with the enemy. The letters "MK", which stand for "Mafia Killah", will be avoided and substituted with a double "cc", and the letter "b" will be replaced. The words "kick back" will instead be written as "kicc bkacc". Many other letters are also altered due to symbolic associations. Hillside Mafia traditionally refer to each other as "Cuzz", which itself is sometimes used as a moniker for Hillside Mafa. "Crab" is the most disrespectful epithet to call a Hillside Mafia member, and can warrant fatal retaliation.  Hillside Mafia members in prison modules during the 2000 and 2001 would sometimes speak in Swahili to maintain privacy from guards and rival gangs.
