The Watts Truce was declared between warring gangs in the community of Watts in the days just before the 1992 Los Angeles riots. After 20 years of internecine warfare that waged across the public housing projects of Los Angeles two rival "sets" within the infamous Crips gang decided that enough was enough. The Grape Street Crips and PJ Watts Crips met in the Imperial Courts Project gym to negotiate peace [1]. Within days, despite the raging fires in downtown, most of the black gangs in LA declared themselves at peace. This truce is no longer in effect. A new truce between the PJ WATTS CRIPS and the BOUNTY HUNTER BLOOD'S has started so they both can form and alliance and goto with the GRAPE STREET WATTS CRIPS.
