We recently noticed this blue bandana tied to a fire escape in front of a building on Rugby Road between Newkirk and Foster, a possible sign of Crips activity.
And a few months ago we spotted graffiti on a B68 bus that said "Fuck Crip OK Bitch." Very well could have been the work of a 12-year-old who just learned about Bloods and Crips. But it also could've been scrawled by an anti-Crips gang member. Similar mentalities, after all.
Last year when we lived at Ocean and Beverley we found a message in our building that read "C (Up Arrow), B (Down Arrow)" or vice versa, meaning "Crips up, Bloods down."
Does this mean our neighborhood is overrun with Bloods and Crips? Probably not, although it's a safe bet to assume Ditmas Park has some amount of gang activity. So what can you do? Don't park your red car on Rugby Road.
