Grove Street Gta San Andreas Full Swing As
Big Smoke, a high ranking member, began to see the fall of the gang and the potential for power, influence and money the trade could bring. Sweet always maintained that drug dealing ultimately brought gangs to ruin, and thus remained adamant in his objection to the Families becoming involved in the trade. Many OG's and high-ranking members were killed at this time - including Big Devil, Little Devil, and Tony as well the younger brother of Sweet and CJ - Brian Johnson. Specifically when the gang war started is unknown, but the rivalry between the two gangs was in full swing as early as 1987.The 1987 - 1992 period saw the Families begin to lose ground to the Ballas who became heavily involved in the drugs trade. The Grove Street Families have a history of a traditional, intense, and bloody rivalry with the Ballas.
However, during the early 1990's, they split off into different "family" sets. OG and high-ranking member B-Dup also becomes involved in the drugs trade and turns away from the GSF and gang-banging - while high-ranking OG Big Bear becomes a weak and hopeless crack addict and house slave of B-Dup.The Grove Street Families were originally one large gang during the late 1980's. Just before CJ's return in 1992, Big Smoke was also able to influence Ryder about the money and power that they could make from drugs.
It is also likely, but unknown if they controlled Willowfield due to Emmet's presence there.The Grove Street Families are in a sorry state upon CJ's return in 1992. It is likely due to territorial reasons due to the close proximity of East Beach (Vagos territory) and Ganton (GSF territory) and also because, like the Ballas, the Vagos are a significant factor for the spread of crack-cocaine - which the GSF are against.Prior to 1992, the Grove Street Families also controlled parts of southern East Los Santos and Idlewood before been taken by the Ballas. The reasons or date for their feud with the Mexican gangs is unknown. The primary reason for the split was due to the weakening of the gang by the Ballas and Vagos - causing the Grove Street Families to become unstable, and also because of differences in relation to the drugs trade as Sweet and the original Grove Street Families set in Ganton were against drug dealing.The Grove Street Families also maintain an ongoing rivalry with the Los Santos Vagos and the Varrios Los Aztecas.
The gang's fortunes, with Carl performing various jobs, manages to tackle the Ballas threat, strengthen the Families, resolve the crack-cocaine problem in GSF territory and even kill a substantial amount of Ballas gangsters in a drive-by shooting and take control of the Glen Park neighborhood. Carl, initially intending to return to Liberty City, decides to stay and help the gang overcome the crack influence and the Ballas. Carl returns for the funeral.
This leaves the Grove Street Families with no leaders or influential members/OG's.During this time, the Families lose all of their influence and essentially become inactive. Big Smoke and Ryder have now completely defected to the crack-cocaine trade and away from gang-banging at this time. However, Sweet is hit and arrested, then taken to a prison-hospital while CJ is abandoned from Los Santos and warned to stay away from Grove Street by CRASH. Later, during the mission " The Green Sabre" the Grove Street Families and the Ballas engage in a gang war under the Mulholland Intersection. The Families are also successful at crashing a Ballas funeral in which many high-ranking members and OG's who attended were killed - including Kane an influential and high-ranking member of the Front Yard Ballas.
Family members that do remain are forced to run drugs between a drugs factory in Doherty, San Fierro back to Los Santos for Big Smoke. The Ballas then eventually control the entirety of what had been GSF territory - including Ganton and Grove Street, Playa Del Seville, Temple, Vinewood Cemetery and Santa Maria Beach, they also recapture back Glen Park. Members of the Families are either dead, in hiding or are turned into hopeless crack addicts. The Ballas then resume the spread of crack cocaine into Grove Street and Ganton again.
The reformed Families, now being led by both Sweet and Carl, begin to exert their influence on the city again, including taking control of Glen Park and Idlewood. Crack dealers in Grove Street are also killed. Carl manages to perform the task and is rewarded by Toreno with the release of Sweet.Carl attempts to convince Sweet to join him away from Los Santos but returns to take control of Ganton from the Ballas when an adamant Sweet informed him he would not be leaving. While at the mansion he is contacted by undercover government agent Mike Toreno, for whom he had previously worked, and steals a military jet and destroys five spy boats.
Like the other gangs, the Families will often flash their gang hand-signs as a form of representation. They can be found walking and driving around their territory - often seen smoking marijuana, drinking malt liquor and talking in groups. They are involved in gang-banging, street violence, murder, gang warfare, vandalism and arms dealing. This caused the crack-cocaine influence in Los Santos to massively decrease.If the player wishes, they can take over all territory from the Ballas and the Vagos through the gang war mini-game - making the Grove Street Families the largest and most powerful gang in Los Santos.The Grove Street Families are a street gang that are easily identifiable by their green gang color. The gang finally re-assert their dominance in the city when Carl and Sweet killed Smoke, destroyed his crack palace and caused Tenpenny's death during the final mission. This is one of the few opportunities where members of the Grove Street Families and the Varrios Los Aztecas cooperate without hostilities.
Refusing to adapt to changes in the city - they are quite stubborn. Upon spotting a Balla, Vago, Azteca, Rifa, San Fierro Triad, or Italian Mafia gang member (especially Ballas) - they will often react with hostility - usually resulting in a street-fight or a fire-fight/shoot-out.They are depicted as more honorable and traditional than the other gangs of Los Santos.
