[quote=msanchez]So is the initiation to drive around with no lights on??[/quote] sorry, yeah, i should have clarified...

[b]supposedly,[/b] the gangs would cruise around @ night w/o their car headlights on. if you saw them and flashed your headlights, you be the target for the night and the gang initiaion would be for the new member to bust a cap in yo' ass, to proved that they could kill people and not care...

this legend is so old, but still I never flash my light at someone. You never know. I sometimes wonder why people drive around with no lights on at 2 in the morning. And why don't the cops pull them over?

I have left my headlights off by accident and people have high beamed me. Should I go kill them? haha. I remember this urban legend. They warned us about it in high school.

WTF???? :SuckeyTo:

Not really a gang initiation but in bad neighborhoods where shit goes down and you see people dealing in a car the average person who doesnt know will flash a car to turn their lights on.

Not too many people moving shit around would want a spotlight to draw attention.

So probably one person got gunned down. And people made that up as a warning.

Remember all myths start off in some reality somewhere. :Naughty:
