Mark Rideout claims he started the Playboy Supremes

"I was a first to second generation crip from califionia. sad to say when i
was 15 i started the first crip gang in rialto california in 1978 the
playboy surpremes gang."

He was sexually molested from the age of four, beaten by his own mother,
and was one of the founding members of the Crips gang in California.

Back in 2010, former Crips gang member Mark Rideout recalled his hellish childhood.

"When
you are being brutally raped and beaten by your mom and void of love… I
couldn't understand why this was happening," Rideout said.

He
traded in the brutality of his home life for the brutality of life on
the streets. He helped found the Crips, a murderous gang out of Realto,
California. He lived that life for years.

"As I got older, I felt God calling me out of that experience - more so than a voice," he said.

By
2010, Rideout had long since left his life of crime behind and was
using his experience to reach out to other children who may be going
through the same thing.

But he said the murder of Todd Brown,
gunned down in the hallway of Discovery Middle School by a fellow
classmate, was life changing. He said as he watched Brown's funeral
online, he felt tears well up in his eyes.

"It started out when I
saw that child laid out and I saw the kids coming in in murder blue. I
actually felt like I'd murdered that child or I had assisted in that, so
I had to do something," he said.

With everything that had
happened in his own life and all that he'd participated in while living
the gang lifestyle, it was the death of someone else's child that
literally brought him to his knees.

"I said ok. I gave my life
Crippin; I'll give my life to stop it," said Rideout. "I said, 'Ok,
Lord, what would you have me do?' One thing led to another. When I said
yes, he said come on."

That day, Rideout said he was called into the ministry to minister to others, especially children who are hurting.

"Kim,
I had committed every crime in the book except the rape of a child by
the time I was 17. I've taken a lot from life. I know this one act
cannot atone for all my sins. Only one person can do that, but all I can
do is give back my life," he said.

Mark Rideout will be ordained on June 24 into the UAME Church, which is the first independent black church in the country.

He said he will remain committed to helping other young men avoid the same pitfalls he could not.

No.The Playboy Supreme's became the Five Time Crips. Mark is one of the original four who created the Playboy Supreme's back in 1976/77. The name was changed to Five Time/Fifth Street Crips in 1978. Steve Davis, among a couple others, was involved in the name change and bringing it all together. They were also known as the Meridian Boys for a time prior to this. Mark is a pastor now.
