 |  Subject: Temple Drive Ballas - Information  Fri Apr 05, 2013 6:53 am | |
|   The story begins during the early seventies as almost all of the street gangs we see today were not in existence back then. However, the only exceptions, were the Ballas, and the Orange Grove Street gang. These gangs had just started, the Ballas were in Idlewood, and the well, you know where the other one was. Many other little gangs were blooming across Los Santos, spread apart from each other. One was the unnamed gang that was fighting off Ballas control in Willowfield and Seville Boulevard, and the other were the Templars who were all across the city in Market. The Templars were a small gang that just wanted dominance in the area, and to keep their area safe from other street gangs. Instead of helping their area, they destroyed it, by giving it a bad reputation. They did robberies at first, and they escalated to different more complex crimes. Who started this gang you may ask? It was Joe Mallone, a black man in his twenties that didn't want any hate towards his race of people, it was only a few years after the Cold War, the Kennedy Assassination, and not to forget, the Civil Rights Movement. The whole country wanted to repair itself, but these gangs slowed the process. This gang lasted a few years, until the "Bloody Days" of the late 70's. The "Blood Days" were some of the worst years Los Santos had seen, most of these before unnamed gangs, were becoming larger, and stronger. The Templars were no exception, they not had gotten a hold of small-arms and more deadly melee weapons. However, with great power, comes a great problem. Remember those gangs that had been forming before? Well now, some of them were now allied, the most significant alliance was the Seville Boulevard and Orange Grove alliance. They got close, and decided to band together to stop the Willowfield Ballas. They pushed out the Ballas influence and the drugs out of Willowfield and Seville Boulevard together. The Families were born. The Templars had some problems of their own as well, some gangs formed inside of the Templar organization, and split up the gang into two. The members fought over control of the gang in Market, and this brought disaster. Joe Mallone was assassinated, and this only hurt the gang more, now it had no leadership, and to top it off, a gang was forming in North Temple. Tension escalated, and the other gang that had been formed in Temple just to resist the Templars, saw their opening. They destroyed the gang, with brutal attacks, and drugs while the Templars argued amongst themselves. War between the Ballas and the Families only got worse too, and Market was now on the list for the worst areas to be in while you visit Los Santos, along with Ganton, Seville Boulevard, Willowfield, and Idlewood. Finally, the Templars saw their end, when members resorted to snitching on their own friends to the police, and some even to the gang in Temple. The gang disintegrated by the end of the 70's, and the Temple Drive Family was born, now that it had control of Temple. Not only that but they allied with the Families across the city in a meeting, and now the Families were composed of all three sets. The Orange Grove Gang were dead, and the Grove Street Families, were born. That was not the end of the violence in Market though, now it was the roaring 80's. New gangs sprouted everywhere, wishing to come to the same level as the Ballas and the Families, gangs in Glen Park formed, gangs in Jefferson formed, all over. Soon, the Ballas were up to par with the Families during the mid 80's with full control of Jefferson, Glen Park, Idlewood, and East Los Santos. If you didn't know, the East Los Santos Ballas set existed back then. This was a recipe for disaster for the Families, the Ballas all of a sudden, controlled most of Los Santos. The Ballas were committing mass genocide, they destroyed ANY gang who wished to oppose their reign, up to the point where the only gang in Jefferson, East LS, and Glen Park, was the Ballas. Meanwhile in Market, a young man named Tyrell Harrison formed the gang called, "The Marketz". This gang struggled in the beginning, due to Family influence in Temple, but by the late 80's the Seville Boulevard Families, and the Grove Street Families were falling apart, due to drugs, killings, and territory loss, the Ballas had Willowfield again, and the Willowfield Ballas set was born. The Temple Drive Families at this time were the strongest gang in the Families, but quickly lost power due to no support from Grove or Seville. The Families argued amongst themselves now, drugs were wiping them out. The Temple Drive Families had lost a great deal of control. The Marketz were now supreme in Temple, and pushed the Families out, they fled to Santa Maria Beach, where they established a new headquarters. The gang was now the only gang around Market, but the same thing that happened to the Templars was happening to them. The Marketz were full of youngsters looking to make a name for themselves and a lot of them were hotheaded, or just hotshots. Violence started among them, fellow members were ordering hits on fellow members using fellow members to kill the fellow members. It was chaos, and Tyrell was loosing control, people spoke against him. He was stabbed to death in the beginning of the 90's by fellow members after his security was killed by an organized attack by the Santa Maria Families, which were the former Temple Drive Families, and the Marketz Insurrection. The gang fell apart, and by 1991, it was done, the gang split up and everyone did their own thing. After this everything happened, the Families started taking back control, carefully eliminating enemy OG's and high ranking Ballas lieutenants and members. The East Los Santos Ballas were wiped out by the Mexican Street Alliance, soon to become the Vagos, and the Willowfield Ballas were eliminated and pushed back into Idlewood. It was a double whammy, plus, some Mexican gangs in El Corona started fighting the Ballas after many disputes, this gang was soon the Varrios Los Aztecas, who made neutrality with the Families. The war raged on, and one man, named Darnell "D.J." Jones brought back former Marketz O.G.s and members to form the Temple Drive Ballas. He had a lot of support from the Kilo Trays, and Rollin' Heights. He took control and one day he and the Idlewood O.G.s met to discuss things, problems broke out and it ended in a shootout. The Temple Drive Ballas were at war with the Front Yard Ballas, Kilo Tray stayed neutral in the war, and Rollin' Heights, who were lead by Darnell's secret brother he never knew about, Clutch, joined Temple Drive Ballas. The two factions along with the Families warred with Idlewood, soon Idlewood died off, and Kilo Tray died off as well after small disputes with the Ballas Insurrection with TDB and RHB. What was done was done, and could not be reversed. The Ballas all together collapsed during 1994, and years later, Darnell returns, now in his forties after everyone thought he was dead, the whereabouts of his brother Clutch are unknown, now Smokey has control of the Temple Drive Ballas, and everyone hopes it lasts longer then it ever did before.
