Grove Street Families: Difference between revisions

The death of Beverly Johnson causes Sweet to [[Cell Phone|phone]] his brother [[Carl Johnson|Carl]] in [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]]. Carl [[Big Smoke (mission)|returns]] for the [[Sweet & Kendl|funeral]]. Carl, initially intending to return to Liberty City, decides to stay and help the gang overcome the crack influence and the Ballas. The gang's fortunes, with Carl performing various jobs, manages to tackle the Ballas threat, strengthen the Families, [[Cleaning the Hood|resolve the crack-cocaine problem in GSF territory]] and even [[Doberman|takes control]] of the [[Glen Park]] neighborhood. The three sub-groups also [[Reuniting the Families|attempt to reconcile their differences]], although this was interrupted by the [[SWAT]].

The Ballas, however, continue their assault by [[House Party|attempting to take control]] of Ganton and Grove Street itself but fail as CJ, Sweet and Grove Street members are able to successfully defend their territory. Later, during the mission "[[The Green Sabre]]" the Grove Street Families and the Ballas engage in a gang war under the [[Mulholland Intersection]]. 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.

During this time, the Families lose all of their influence and essentially become inactive. They become subservient to the Ballas and Los Santos Vagos. The Ballas then resume the spread of crack cocaine into Grove Street and Ganton again. Members of the Families are either dead, in hiding or are turned into hopeless crack addicts. 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]]. Family members that do remain are forced to run drugs between a [[Yay Factory|drugs factory]] in [[Doherty]], [[San Fierro]] back to Los Santos for Big Smoke. Carl, after becoming a leading criminal figure in both San Fierro and [[Las Venturas]], returns to Los Santos to [[A Home in the Hills|take control]] of [[Madd Dogg|Madd Dogg's]] [[Madd Dogg's Crib|mansion]]. While at the mansion he is contacted by undercover government agent [[Mike Toreno]], [[Highjack|for]] [[Interdiction|whom]] [[Verdant Meadows (mission)|he]] [[Learning to Fly|had]] [[N.O.E.|previously]] [[Stowaway|worked]], and [[Vertical Bird|steals]] a military jet and destroys five spy boats. Carl manages to perform the task and is rewarded by Toreno with the [[Home Coming|release]] of Sweet.
