The Pirus or Piru Street Boys are a Los Angeles, California area street gang alliance (under the larger alliance, the Bloods) based out of Compton which spread to Carson, Inglewood, and Watts. Piru sets make up most of the original Blood gang alliance in Los Angeles. The name "Piru" is derived from Piru Street in the city of Compton. The gang was originally founded around 1969 by Sylvester Scott and Vincent Owens and was known as the Piru Street Boys. The original purpose of the Pirus of forming was only to keep the Crips from overrunning their own neighborhoods. During the summer of 1972 the Piru Street Boys had a conflict with the rest of the Crip gangs and a bloody war was started that would soon make history. They were severly outnumbered by the rest of the Crip gangs and the Crips were easily winning the war. The Pirus made it known that had completely denounced the Crip Alliance and wanted to terminate all peaceful relations with all Crip gangs. Then they turned to the Lueders Park Hustlers, another Compton gang at war with Crips at the time, for a meeting. The Lueders Park Hustlers agreed and a meeting was called on Piru Street in Compton, California. The Pirus also invited every other independent street gang at war with the Crips in L.A. County to join the meeting. This meeting eventually led to an alliance that formed the Bloods.
