- d2bcomer: Do you know what your children are up to?
On Sept. 10, Portland Police Officer Cody Berne testified that some gang members will use Washington Nationals hats and Boston Red Sox jackets to signify their loyalty to certain gangs. It’s not a Portland-centric thing, either. Last year, the Washington Examiner reported that Bloods had been sporting Washington Nationals gear with “D.C’ emblazoned on it, which the gang dubbed as standing for “death to Crips.” And according to this expert on ehow.com, Boston Red Sox hats are also favorites of the Bloods.
But it’s not just baseball. Continuing to build credibility, d2bcorner says the Nutty Blocc Crips even wear NBC hats (though this video begs to differ). British Knights shoes stand for “Blood Killers.” Can you see where this is going with CK jeans? Yeah, d2bcorner says they’re gang symbols, too. They stand for “Crip Killers.”
I may have to go shopping.
They can have my Red Sox caps when they pry them from my cold dead… head. Of course, my main Red Sox cap is black. No idea what they would symbolize, exactly.
That’s a very post-Bush idea; law enforcement testifying in court that some (nebulous) criminal types (nebulous) will message their reign of terror (nebulous) by wearing sports attire.
Did O’Conner object: Speculation?
They still make British Knights? Is Derrick Coleman still their pitchman?
I have been wearing my Mets cap all summer and they are having their worst season in years. now I understand maybe I should have joined the crips.
You’re gonna get shot.
Two teams that sucks. Who cares.
I don’t understand. Which gang do I belong to? I live in North Portland and am new to this gang thing. Green is my favorite color, but I’m willling to go with the herd if it will avoid any confrontation. That’s it! Are there any non-confrontational gangs?
@Bea I would like to join your non-confrontational gang.
(Actually, I would like to fight it with my non-confrontational gang but you can see how that’s a bit of a sticky wicket.)
