Billyburg beware

I don’t usually feed into the culture of fear, but this is pretty important. I work at a school in my community called El Puente and we have been advised that the Bloods are having their initiation today. They actually have it every year at this time. However, the threat is very real today and they have said that they will be targeting young women. All the local schools have been notified and are sending children home and canceling after-school programs as we have. If you know anything about the Bloods you know that they tend to slash people on initiation. If you’re coming to Williamsburg, please think twice about it. And if you still must come then please be aware of this.
