Not sure if this is real or not but decided to share just in case.



Please pass this on!
Important police warning
Very scary, now moving west.... started in... Manitoba, now
in Saskatchewan
and moving west. This came directly from our Driver Training
People who got the warning . Pass this to anyone you can.
One of the officers
who works with the dare program has passed along the following
warning and asked that it be shared with all drivers. This
is an extremely
serious matter. If you are driving after dark and you see a car
without its head-lights on do not flash your lights, do not
blow your horn or
make any signals to the driver of the other car. There is a new
common gang initiation 'game' going on the streets. The new
member
being
initiated drives along without his headlights on until someone
notices
and flashes their headlights or makes some sort of other
action to signal
him. The gang member is now required to chase the car and shoot
at or
into the car in order to complete his initiation
requirements. Make
sure you
share this information with your family, friends, and anyone
else
you can reach. If you have any questions or information,
please call your
local police department. Please take this seriously. This is
not a joke. Please
pass this on to everyone you know on e-mail and in person. It
could save
someone's life.

Sounds like bullshit, but with the way people are these days it wouldn't suprise me.

OMG, i just told my friend who sent me this email that she's a gullible retard.

Wouldn't you think the RCMP would broadcast it over the news and paper instead of over mass email spam?

The highway highbeam gang initiation is one of the oldest urban legends

I remember hearing about isolated instances of this a few years ago on the radio. But you would figure that the RCMP would put it on the radio again. :dunno:

Urban legend - been circulating around periodically since at least 1993.

Here's a link an urban legend debunking site....

Something similar actually happened to my friends cousin in Birmingham Alabama 2 yrs ago, it wasnt exactly that, but he was involved in a gang initiation and now hes in prison for the next 13 yrs:nut:

It had to do with driving with the lights off and basically beating down the person who flashes you first.

And for all you non believers lol
Ive seen the newspaper article from the incident:angel:

It's an urban legend. You can now go back to your own bedrooms and put the nightlight out.
