Watch Out For The Pretty Ones

Oh snap! We’ve got gangs in the neighborhood. It turns out those machete-wielding kids may be part of the Pretty Boy Goonies, a “new offshoot of the notorious Bloods gang” that’s been poking around the hood in the past few months. They’re vicious too! From the Post:

“This is not fist-fighting we are talking about. They are using machetes to stab and slash, and screwdrivers. There are brawls in the streets, in broad daylight, stopping traffic.

So, that’s what this was! Their playground is the park under the Williamsburg Bridge, where the NYPD has installed one of their tree forts. I guess it’s working, last week cops arrested 14 gang members. More at the Post.
