9. The Bloods
Los Angeles is the location of the 9th biggest gang. The Bloods are battling over the territory of Los Angeles with Crips since the 1980s, when crack cocaine became the best illegal business in the area to make a profit. The 19,000-member gang is founded around the 1960s in LA. Their companion branch in New York started with business twenty years after the original Bloods and gained a significant amount of influence and resources, becoming the most brutal force in New York.
