Bloods

The Bloods gang originated in the streets of Los Angeles in the 1970s as a response to the Crips and the violence they imposed on the streets. In the 1980s, driven by profits from the distribution of crack cocaine, the ranks of the Bloods swelled, inducing many “entrepreneurial” members to migrate to other cities to set up new markets. The glorification of “gangster life” through movies such as “Colors” also encouraged youth throughout the country to emulate the Bloods culture, symbols and colors.

Identification The most common identifiers for Blood members include colors, clothing, symbols, jewelry, tattoos, and graffiti. Red is the most commonly associated color of the bloods. They typically create graffiti depicting the upside down symbols of rival gangs. A common Bloods symbol is a five-pointed star or a varying representation of the number five. Gang members often craft their own personal necklaces made from red beads. Photographs of common identifiers of the Bloods are shown below.

...And all was hunky dory for the tough little welfare recipients in East LA until they got their sorry illiterate asses killed or kicked by MS13 and Latin Kings.

Note how Michael Brown, Louis Head, and the other members of the family are using the Bloods gang signs, colors, and red colors in the many photographs they posted in the social media. That is not the kind of direct evidence which can be easily denied or disregarded by any stretch of the imagination.

You may choose to excuse her, she is blonde. (No offense to the real republican blondes, they’re pretty and smart too)

Probably fantacizes about it, actually. Who was that reporter who wrote an article offering herself up to be abused by Bill Clinton?

The blonde reminds me of Nicole Brown-Simpson.
Stay away from the brothers, blondie.
