So been hearing that the bloods are doing their initiations today and targeting women. Has anyone heard any actual reports of it happening?? If so where??
Would like to go home but gonna wait for my male companion to take me home. I'm sure they don't care that it is still broad daylight out.
Hmm...I would not be worried if I were you...the NYPD is in FULL FORCE today..any gang activity, or even stupidity by kids, will be dealt with quickly. The only good thing to come out of such nonsense is that their actions will expose them, get them caught, and oftentimes they sing like a bird and rat out their "friends." Cops know this and are eagerly waiting for anyone to make a wrong move today...they will pounce, and it is an easy way to infiltrate and dissect gangs. But really...unless you plan on hanging out in the housing projects tonight...you will be fine.

uh no I don't plan on doing that. Thank god I don't live near any either. Well I really do hope the nypd are out there. It's suppose to be a festive day for the kids (big and small).
I really would not be worried...the NYPD is especially vigilant on these days, and any funny business is squashed quickly, and anyone caught is usually under the "this guy is a in a gang" suspicion. Go out and have a good time with your kids..but always good to use common sense...trick or treating in the East Harlem projects is not the best idea.
These rumors are usually over-hyped from experience. Not to say you shouldn't be careful, you should always be aware of your surroundings but I wouldn't rearrange my schedule either or make drastic changes, catch my drift.
Hood nonsense. I've heard many types of rumors like that, such as 6/06/06 was an alleged important date for the Crips and it meant for them to wild out, or something along those lines. Same thing with the death of Tookie Williams in '05. Passed through Flatbush during both of those occasions, which has a heavy Crip presence, and nothing out of the ordinary occurred. Only during Flag Day(Jun. 14th) that you'll see gang members more visible(openly wearing their bandannas), at least in my area.
Well considering many of us have lived in the city for decades...I am confident of what I say..it is hype and you will be fine.
