The Pirus () are a subset of the larger Bloods gang alliance, an organized crime group in the United States.
In the early 1960s, the Los Angeles, California area was filled with street gangs fighting for power. At that time, the Crips, founded by Raymond Washington and Stanley "Tookie" Williams, were rapidly growing in influence. They expanded quickly, pressuring smaller gangs to either join them or submit.
