Flashing your lights warning!?

[Disco Dan]

Just got this in an email... as usual probably bogus... but worth a thought...

DON'T FLASH HEADLIGHTS AT ANY CAR WITH NO LIGHTS ON!!

Police officers working with the DARE program have issued this Warning:

If you are driving after dark and see and on-coming car with no headlights on,
DO NOT FLASH YOUR LIGHTS AT THEM!

This is a common Bloods member "initiation game" that goes like this:

The new gang member under initiation drives along with no headlights, and the first car to flash their headlights at him is now his "target.". He is now required to turn around and chase that car, then shoot and kill every individual in the vehicle in order to complete his initiation requirements. Police Depts across the nation are being warned. Their intent is to have all the “new bloods nationwide drive around on Friday and Saturday nights with their headlights off.

In order to be accepted into the gang, they have to shoot and kill all individuals in the first auto that does a courtesy flash to warn them that their lights are
off. Make sure you share this information with all the drivers in your
family!

Please forward this message to all your friends and family members to inform them about this initiation ritual

Fuck that, I'd say stop flashing your bloody lights at vehicles using their lights during the day for christs sake!

Sounds like a hoax to me. Scary thought, but still...

And how many cars have been found in NZ with shot dead people inside? Perhaps an indication that the recruitment process for the gang is not going that well...

We can only hope. Pretty lame and random ritual btw.

What I'm wondering about is more... Are these bloods environmentally conscious and remember to turn the light off in their target car after the deed is done?

guess so... its always the silent ones...

now... where's that klaxxon nomination thingy gone again...

This did the rounds in London a few years ago. Once again there were no reports of carloads of dead people to be found......they just can't get the staff these days.

Snopes says it's Bullshit.

Snopes says it's Bullshit.

Should be automatic to check that site when you get these. I've often replied to these chain-mails that the sender needs to check Snopes.

One even fooled my boss and he's pretty switched on.

...in the first auto...

There's the giveaway right there. No-one says that in NZ...

[Livvy]

What's more... If this is common enough knowledge for it to be in an email, one in which it SAYS the police know about this, there would have been something on the news. Come on people!
