CODE OF DISHONOR; L.I. GANGBUSTERS SEIZE BLOODS RULE BOOK

A chilling, hand-scrawled code of conduct drafted by members of the notorious Bloods street gang on Long Island calls for “killing without caring” and “dying without crying” and offers a rare look at the secretive gang’s inner workings, Suffolk County Police said yesterday.

After a five-month-long surveillance operation, police raided five homes associated with the gang in the Wyandanch area last week. They arrested six people, recovered cash, crack, marijuana and guns – and a document that spelled out etiquette for the “5-9 Brims” Bloods group.

The “5-9 Brim Oath” calls for “having love for your set and hate for your enemy. It’s about being loved by few, hated by many, but respected by all . . . It’s about being around when it’s time to get down, getting down when you are by yourself, getting caught without telling.”

A separate document entitled “Worldwide 30 Rules” prohibits homosexuality, individuality, snitching and drug use among members and calls for the gang to “always maintain discipline and militant posture.”

To gain admission into the Bloods, the code requires women to “Bang-in,” or have sex with an existing member, and for men to endure a “Jump-in,” or a ritual beating.

Most of the writings found last week replace the letter “C” with a number because of the gang’s feud with the rival Crips.

And while the code of conduct calls for respecting civilians, the rules command members to “never permit a 3ivilian to talk bad” about the gang.

Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota said that the group actively recruits among youth in the Wyandanch area and controls much of the crack market there.

“I just find it so disturbing,” Spota said of the written codes, which he said were enforced by threats of violence or even death.

“You don’t have to go overseas to find terrorism,” said Suffolk County Police Commissioner Richard Dormer.

The haul from the bust included 11 ounces of crack cocaine worth $35,000 to $50,000; some $5,400 in cash; a pair of nunchuks, which are a martial-arts weapon; three high-caliber handguns; several red scarves worn by the group; and a bag of marijuana.

Suffolk cops arrested alleged Bloods members Nicholas Gainey, Gary Guest, Jesse Adams, Antoine Turner, Clarence Goodwin and James Williams and charged them with a variety of drug and weapons possession counts. Guest, Spota said, was considered the leader of the 5-9 Brims in Wyandanch.

Suffolk County has had to contend not only with rising Blood and Crip numbers, but with surging MS-13 and Latin King activity as well.
