Image

I added the image from the "Gangs" article of the guy doing a blood sign. I put it under Identification. If anyone thinks it should go somewhere else, feel free. I just remember seeing the pic in the gang article and thought it would fit well here and make the article a little less bland looking. Maybe another image near the top would be good too, if anyone has any suggestions...Saberswordsmen1 (talk) 16:41, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is the image of the white boy doing a "blood" hand sign supposed to be a joke? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.24.81.225 (talk) 00:53, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is NOT a forum

I've noticed even though there is a talk header about using this for actual improvments, I'm still only seeing IP holders using this for disscussion about the Bloods....please stop and discess it at the appropiate sites, and discuss actual issues with the article and provide actual reliable, verifiable sources. If people, don't I may end up removing very irrelevent sections.. THROUGH FIRE JUSTICE IS SERVED! 03:16, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

History sources?

From what I understand everything the Bloods history section is correct, but there really should be citations to verify it all I think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.190.143.6 (talk) 04:44, 26 June 2008 (UTC) It is correct? it talks about the crips for all i understood and says nothing about the bloods —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.141.179.232 (talk) 21:36, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

More info on the United Blood Nation

I wrote the page on the UBN, and keep checking up on it, but it needs more work. Please somebody post a picture to it. I'm not sure how to properly do that myself. Also, if you have more info on them, feel free to add that in too, of course. Crew90 (talk) 00:44, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay number 1, THE BLOODS ARE NOT ALLIES WITH LATIN KINGS. they are just not at war, i find that rather insulting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BSG's (talk • contribs) 03:48, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Funny how obvious gang members (wannabes?) post on Wikipedia of all things. I guess you wont find many citeable sources so we'll have to rely on these guys... once we translate what they have to English. - Gunnanmon (talk) 05:56, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

LESSON

Bloodline Latin Kings

Whoever keeps changing "Latin Kings" back to "Latin King" please stop. There is a difference. The Latin Kings are a complex gang and only a few of them have beef with Bloods and the UBN. These few who have problems are called "Bloodline Latin Kings". So please stop changing it back. The Chicago Latin Kings are allies with the Bloods since BLOODS were affiliated with the people nation, most New York Latin Kings are the same. Only the Bloodline have beef. So please stop changing it. Thnaks. Crew90 (talk) 04:08, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine, except that you aren't documenting that at all and re-directing to an article about the LK's that doesn't even mention Bloodline LK's. Just fix it when you re-add. Niteshift36 (talk) 07:27, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

oh, ok. Sorry Crew90 (talk) 22:51, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Possible WP:BLP issue

An editor added a name of celebs that are Bloods. While I know the list is mostly correct, we might have a BLP issue since it's not referenced. Labelling a living person as a member of a criminal organization without references is a problem, don't you think? Niteshift36 (talk) 14:48, 29 September 2008 (UTC) i agree —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.215.133.20 (talk) 00:42, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

clicks within Bloods

A newly formed group in Bloods is REDMOBB. They have been found strong in Tuscaloosa AL. We have heard and seen the some of the things the members have been involved in. ne of the founding members of the Redmobb gang is June a male who we recored and watched to be a very dangerous member. His original set is westside campanella park piru. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.8.63.178 (talk) 01:00, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good for them. Until they meet the notability requirements for inclusion, entries about them are going to get removed. Niteshift36 (talk) 06:47, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"The Bloods"

This article still perpetuates the notion that there is a single Blood gang that is made up of hundreds of sets. In reality, there are several distinct Blood gangs (many with sub-sets or clicks) that make up a very loose federation of Bloods. The same can be said of Crip gangs. There is no "The Bloods," and "The Crips." There are however, several gangs that claim Blood, and several gangs that claim Crip.24.181.225.253 (talk) 04:06, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you can back up your statement with reliable sources, then please feel free to cite those sources and change the tone of this article. Plus, please put new topics at the bottom of talk pages. Thank you for your input. Andrewlp1991 (talk) 06:21, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Crips and Bloods should be worldwide

You guys shouldn't both Crips and Bloods be labeled as worldwide because they have known sets in Africa(mainly southwest), Britain and France, Australia, the Caribbean islands, New Zealand(mainly Maori area), Samoa and other islands and both gangs are known to widely recruit such nationalities(see Crips in Alaska). So I think with so many of them located in other countries though for the most part relatively small minus the Caribbeans and certain african countries mainly in South Africa who are allied with the Numbers gang should be labelled as worldwide —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.94.173.73 (talk) 07:42, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As soon as we have a reliable source saying they are in Africa, Britain, France, Australia, the Caribbean, New Zealand and Samoa, we would be able to say they are worldwide. However, we don't have that, so no, we can't say that. - SummerPhD (talk) 13:56, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

21 Scorpion

The 21 Scorpion are a street gang founded in Kajang,Selangor,Malaysia.The gang is widely known for its rivalry with the Dirty Tigs. They are identified by the red color worn by their members and by particular gang symbols, including distinctive hand signs. The 21 Scorpions are made up of various sub-groups known as "sets" between which significant differences exist such as colors, clothing, and operations, and political ideas which may be in open conflict with each other. Since their creation, the 21 Scorpion gangs have branched out throughout Malaysia.[3]File:4822 1113458767948 1571303674 30255335 3660191 n.jpg21 scorpion

It used to say 30k-50k, it doesen't anymore, i haven't been on this article for a long time though, i do remember that there were more crips then bloods but could somebody help me here and re-add that content to the article? T-oliveira (talk) 01:05, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit

Um, the gangs bloods have problems with needs to be more specific... I've been in OYA with a lot of youth members and who they beef with really depends on the clique... it says bloods beef with surenos but I've NEVER seen that. Ever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.100.9.106 (talk) 15:57, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dog the only thing Sur hate more than Nor is Bloods and that's because majority Blood gangs are racists and vice versa. Also Crips at time are known to ally wit Sur just to have a advantage over Bloods. Beleive me come to Cali and go in and around LA and you'll see Bloods killin Sur and Sur killin Bloods all over the place
