Just talked to the N.J. State Police and they have just put out a bulletin for this weekend concerning Gangs.
Here is the deal, This weekend is Gang initiation time and Gang members will be driving around with there headlights off. If you flash them they will shoot at you and try to kill you.
DO NOT FLASH YOUR LIGHTS AT ANYONE...This is not a joke. This is the real deal. Drive Safe!

Actually, what Sam is talking about can and has happened. There were a few gang members in Spokane about 10 years ago, shooting at people who ever flashed their car lights at them. Fortunately it came to an abrupt stop by local police officers.

The "Urban Legends and Folklore" site is the first place I go when I read things like this. I like to make sure before I send something out.

How many times has this girl been reported missing? The latest is an "Amber Alert" e-mail that's been going around. I thought she looked familiar and Urban Legends confirmed that, once again, it is a hoax.



I'm not saying stuff doesn't happen, I just like to check before I react.

Two reported cases, like I said, why take a chance and become number 3?

You didn't read very closely then... it says unconfirmed, could have just as easily been a jealous lover.

There are enough real problems in the world to waste time on fantasy.

Took a total of 30 seconds of time to forward a story that may save someones life if they just ignore a car with there lights off, myth or not, just being aware was worth all of the 30 seconds it took..

That's not my headlights flashing...that's the muzzle flash from my 40mm chain gun.
