Just got the following message from my friend today. It's quite scary living in Vancouver these days. Lots of shooting going around. We should all be more careful~~
------------------------------
Please pass this on! Important police warning. Very scary, now moving east....started in , now in , and moving east and west.
This came directly from our Driver Training People who got the warning. Pass this to anyone you can. One of the officers who works with the DARE program has passed along the following warning and asked that it be shared with all drivers. This is an extremely serious matter.
If you are driving after dark and you see a car without its head-lights on, do not flash your lights, do not blow your horn or make any signals to the driver of the other car. There is a new common gang Initiation 'game' going on the streets. The new member being initiated drives along without his headlights on until someone notices and flashes their headlights or makes some sort of other action to signal him. The gang member is now required to chase the car and shoot at or into the car in order to complete his initiation requirements.
Make sure you share this information with your family, friends, and anyone else you can reach. If you have any questions or information, please call your local police department.
Please take this seriously. This is not a joke. Please pass this on to everyone you know on e-mail and in person. It could save someone's life.
the same email was circled since 2007 and i heard a similar in the state 10yrs ago.
when i do a google search, here is what i found. don't worry la.
Summary of the eRumor
A warning from law enforcement that if you see a car driving without headlights, don't flash your headlights or in any other way try to signal the car about the lack of lights. The reason is that gang members, as a part of their initiation, are driving intentionally without headlights then are required to chase and shoot at anyone who tries to tell them the headlights are off.
One version that came up in 2005 says that September 23 and 24 are "blood initiation weekend" and that police departments across the nation are being warned to stay on the alert. The message claims to be from the DARE program.
bullet The Truth
This has circulated for more than 20 years, but there is no truth to it.
