Document Summary
Hand signs have been used and been around for thousands of years. Flagging/stacking = telling a story with your hands about your gang affiliation, usually with music. Crip walking/blood walking = done with hands and body and stacking. Two major gangs (folk nation and people nation gangs) They will roll the right cuff up on their pants and will even color the inside pocket of the pants with their gang colors. West coast bloods and crips rely on graffiti. People nation gang symbols: pyramid, identify with number 5 (5 point star, 5 point crown) West coast bloods and crips cross out each other"s graffiti as a form of disrespect; people and folk nation gangs draw each other"s symbols upside down as disrespect. People nation gang symbols: regular bunny head with both ears up, the number 5, five point star, five on a dice, pyramid, crescent. **fr6 = folk nation gangs, align right, number 6.
