The Bloods are one of the street gangs originally founded in Los Angeles. The gang is widely known for its rivalry with the Crips. They are identified by the red color worn by their members and their gang symbol. The Bloods are made up of various sub-groups known as "sets" between which significant differences exist such as colors, clothing, and operations. Since their formation, the Blood gangs have branched out throughout the United States, with over 15,000 members nationwide.[2][3] Bloods have been documented in the US military, found in both US and overseas bases. [4] Bloods are generally identified by their red colored clothing.
Practices
The Bloods generally refuse to use the letter C in words and names, often appending a K, to form CK, meaning crip killer.[5]
