Emmanuel Orozco, better known on the street as Manny or Bomber, grew up on Grove Street in Los Santos. His family came from Michoacán, Mexico, and settled in the city during the early nineties. He was raised by his mother. His father disappeared early, locked up on federal charges before Manny even started walking. Manny got involved with the Grape Street Crips through his childhood friend, Haziel Vargas, who was putting in work for the Sureño side of the Grapes. Manny was active on the walls. He hit up alleys, storefronts, rooftops, anything that could carry the name of his clique. Manny hit everything, so people stated calling him Bomber. The LSPD and Manny don't go together. "LSPD can suck my chorizo". When they roll up, he doesn't hold his tongue. If they grab him, he twists loose. If they cuff him, he finds a way out. When the cops came down on Grove, most of Grape fell apart. But Grove didn't stay empty for long. Barrio Los Padrinos moved in. It isn't about switching sides. It's about survival, loyalty, and staying with the people who hold the block now. Barrio Los Padrinos have given him a new purpose. The same streets, just a different banner.
