The gangs of Allston

Doubt if they are Bloods; Bloods are more into drug dealing and other activities higher up the corporate ladder of gang criminal activity. This is probably a local gang that wants to claim the patina of the Bloods. Though wanting to portray themselves as Bloods is problematic at least.

What is most problematic is that roving gangs who beat up random targets is increasing. The murders in Dorchester are the tip of the iceberg. Gang violence - both against themselves - but also against a person simple walking, or just sitting on steps is becoming a common occurrence.
