UBN Gang

UBN Gang
Origin: East Coast Bloods were founded on Rikers Island in 1993 by Omar Porter (O.G. Mack) and Leonard McKenzie (O.G. Deadeye). The duo met on Riker's Island while they were both being detained in the George Motchen Detention Center also known as C-73. These two detainees formed the first two sets of what is now known as the East Coast Bloods. The first set was 9-Trey Gangster and the second set was 1-8 Trey. O.G. Mack and O.G. Deadeye are considered the "Godfathers" or O.G. (Original Gangster) of the East Coast Bloods. The two recruited inmates to form the Bloods to fight off the Neta and Latin King gangs within the facilities. Membership:Bloods are predominately African American males. However, they will recruit any race of people who believe that they are oppressed such as Hispanic, White, Chinese, etc. The average age range is from 16 to 35 years old. Males and females are required to know blood history and codes before they are accepted into the gang. Some sets on Riker's require an individual to "put in work" or "eat food" (cut or slash someone) before they were considered blood. Members are known to place tattoos or three burn marks on their right upper biceps. A small percentage of females join the organization and are known as Bloodettes. Females usually perform sex acts on male bloods to join the organization. Philosophy:Bloods believe that in society and correctional institutions they will always fight oppression or what they believe to be oppression and retaliate against people who oppress. Being a member of the Bloods is a way of life and banging is a way of life. Identifiers: Colors worn: Green, Brown, Red or Red and Black Known to possess a red bandanna, which is worn around ones mouth covering the nose and the mouth tying in the back of the neck.Bandannas are also worn affixed on top of the head or hung out the rear right side of the member's pocket.Beads with the colors: Red, Black or Green are worn around the neck or around the right wrist or ankle. Professional sports apparel such as the Chicago Bulls jacket and cap are displayed to signify that you are a member of a particular set - a member of the U.B.N.Communication:Bloods are known to communicate by using hand signals, graffiti, or what is known as stacking. Bloods also speak in code type language and never pronounce the letter "C". Example: Cigarettes would be pronounced Wigarettes, etc. When writing or corresponding with family or other gang member individuals belonging to the Bloods will also cross out the letter "C" or replace the letter with the number 3 which represents the third letter in the alphabet when communicating in letters to disrespect the Crips. Example: 3rips - the three represents the C. East Coast Bloods have developed a complex system of codes that they transmit messages through written correspondence with other Gang members in other institutions or state correctional facilities or even the general public. Correspondence such as this is known as sending "KITES".Organizational Structure: As of mid 90's: Superior = 1012nd Superior = 102Minister of Defense = 103Advisor = 104Head of Security = 105Commanding Officer = 106Captains = 107Lieutenants = 108/109Soldiers = 110Currently on Riker's Island: (we have seen a restructuring of the organization)5 Star General4 Star General3 Star General2 Star General1 Star GeneralGang members incarcerated in facilities are now ruled by a committee of 5 or more members voting. Common Tattoos:Bloods are known to have tattoos of a Bulldog, M.O.B. (Member of Blood) or U.B.N. (United Blood Nation) they could have three Burn Marks on their right upper biceps, wrist or hands. Females are known to have three burns on their right ankles or below their waist. Three burns are intended to represent a Dog Paw and the positioning of the burns would indicate which set of the East Coast Bloods the individual shows allegiance.
