There are 7,000 Bloods gangbangers in New York City, and around 20,000 Bloods members on the East Coast. For East Coast Bloods banging is more than a way of life, it's the meaning of life. Murder is second nature, the easy way to remove a problem. East Coast Bloods favor Alaskas (AK-47s) and 9mm pistols as their problem solving tools. 5 Poppin 6 Droppin tells the blood-soaked tales of Anthony Jones, who ruled the streets of Baltimore through sheer viciousness and ordered the murder of his brother; Bernard Porter aka O.G. Burn, who ran Sex Money Murder in Trenton, N.J. and went to war with the Gangsta Killer Bloods; James Powell aka Munchie of the Gangsta Killer Bloods, who moved to Columbia, S.C. to recruit gangbangers; David Andrea Jenkins aka Dread, the High Stain of the Gangsta Killer Bloods, who wreaked havoc at the South Carolina State Fair, when he and his gangbangers engaged in a blazing gun battle with the Folk Nation; Travis Pinkston, a "Ghetto Star," who supplied the Gangsta Killer Bloods with tons of drugs; Reggie Nicks aka Macazoe, the honcho of Miami's Zoe Pound gang; Andre Roach aka Redrum (murder spelled backwards), who ran the South Side Brims from his prison cell; Brandon Smith aka Little King of the Latin Kings; the Dixon City Bloods, who went to war with the Shower Posse in Toronto; Valdo Thompson, Jr., the 5-star General of Sex Money Murder, who thought he was untouchable; and the Mac Baller Brims, "New York's most dangerous gang," according to the New York Post.About the Author: King Ray Raven resides in a tornado-bait trailer park, in what is euphemistically called a double-wide mobile home.
