Prune Gang/2.0 and Prior

Prune Gang are a Los Santos street gang composed mostly of old people. It was created as a show of force and defiance to those who would underestimate the elderly. They were known for their chaotic antics around the city.

History
Prune Gang was formed when Eugene Zuckerberg and Melbert Rickenbacker first met, as they wanted to start a gang where old people would get more respect. Initially, it consisted only of elderly citizens; with the OG members at the time being Eugene, Mel, Gladys Berry and Gordon Parks. Later on, younger people were also accepted into their midst and were referred to as 'Plums'.

Alliances
Prune Gang have good relations with most gangs, especially with the Leanbois, owing to Eugene's criminal history and ties amongst the criminal world.

Prune Street
The Prune Gang maintain a presence on Covenant Avenue (which they refer to as Prune Street). Even though they don't claim the territory as their turf, which was constantly switching sides between the Leanbois and the Ballaz. It's agreed by all gangs that the street name is forever known as Prune Street, and accepted hangout of the Prune Gang.

Revival
Eugene decided it was time to bring back the crew under the Prune Tang banner. Mel and Gladys immediately agreed to come back.

First problems of unity
Over the past year, Eugene has spent more and more of his time involved in more serious criminal activity. He was forced to do the big jobs with random crews that involved members of the Leanbois, Vagos and his non-affiliated friends like Alabaster Slim. From experience, he felt that he couldn't rely on Mel or Gladys to have his back for big jobs.

As a result, he decided to try and turn the gang into more of a semi-serious crew he could rely on. He did so by claiming Prune Street and started a recruitment drive. He also started using his connections to push the Prune Gang reputation, while Mel continued his chaotic wild behavior with no plans on being serious. This miscommunication of future goals caused the first rift in the gang's unity.

Signs of trouble
After building up a crew of people, Eugene started to do jobs and teach new members like Davey Doherty and Hans Snitzel how to be better criminals. Unfortunately, some of the other recruits like Anto Murphy ended up causing trouble with other gangs. After kicking Anto out of the gang Eugene fixed the situation with Arush Patel "Speedy" Santana. Then some time later, Buddha approached Eugene claiming that Gladys and Kelly have attacked him and Ellie Dono. Eugene then had to fix the situation with the Leanbois. Constant things like that, over time adding up, made Eugene feel like he was babysitting instead of leading his gang.

These events already made Eugene feel like the gang was starting to be more of a hassle than it was worth. It was the worst time for Mel to approach Eugene and bring up the fact that he wants to kick out all the new members because he feels that they are not old and don't fit the gang. Eugene didn't care that Mel kicked everybody out until weeks later.

Prune Gang Outcasts
Most of the kicked out members then grouped up and started a conflict against Prune Gang which annoyed Eugene even more. While trying to settle the conflict, Eugene found out that Gladys was part of the outcast group. There was a meeting and Gladys revealed that she felt she was underappreciated. And that she wasn't given a position of power and connections Eugene had. Even though from Eugene's perspective, all that she mentioned were his personal connections that he's built up over years of work that had nothing to do with the gang. He offered her a bulk of SNS pistols as trial. She refused and walked out of the house and the gang.

Lonely Prune
The gang was down to three members; Gordon Parks who was rarely in the city, Mel who then ended up traveling to Austin for a few weeks, and Eugene who ended up alone with no consistent group to hang out with. During a job with the Leanbois, a topic of conversation came up. Eugene jokingly asked that considering how tight they are as friends, if he should just join them. To which Buddha replied, "If you're serious, we'd love to have you." After thinking about it for a couple of days, Eugene decided to "put Prune Gang on hold and bring it back at a later date.", and to accept the offer and become a Leanbois Affiliate.

Conclusion
After Mel returned a couple of weeks later, Eugene revealed his new plans to Mel. The two had a discussion and came to the conclusion that Prune Gang will always be a part of them even if it's not in practice. Mel continued claiming Prune Gang as his gang for a couple of weeks before becoming a Chang Gang Affiliate. }}
