People Nation Mobs Knowledge

The People Nation is an alliance of street gangs based out of the Chicago area which has since branched throughout the United States. They are rivals to the Folks Nation. Within the People Nation alliance there are individual gangs or nations called "Mobs" which all have their own unique colors, handsigns, and organization. Most of these gangs have signed a charter to officially join the People alliance, many have not.

The People Nation was formed much in the same way as the Folk Nation. In the year of 1978, the El Rukns (now Black P. Stones), Latin Kings, and the Vice Lords formed an alliance of their own, and called it the "People".Jeff Fort of El Rukns, Bobby Gore of the Vice Lords, and Gustavo Colon of the Latin Kings were very instrumental in the forming of this alliance.

Among initial gangs to become members to the People Nation were the Mickey Cobras a.k.a. the Cobra Stones, Latin Counts, Bishops, Insane Unknowns, and Spanish Lords.Many of the African American People gangs adopted an Islamic religious doctrine, while many Latin gangs in the People alliance adopted a Christian one.

People mobs identify to the left, with hats tilted or "broke" to the left, left pants leg rolled up, etc.

Contrary to popular belief, Bloods do not represent the People Nation Alliance. New-age Blood sets (mostly Blood sets outside of california) have grown a habbit of implementing the number 5 into their set one way or another, and this practice traces it's roots back to the Black P Stone Bloods of Los Angeles who were brought to Los Angeles in 1969 by T. Rodgers. These Bloods frequently use the terms “5 popping”, “We ride the 5", replace the letter “S” with a “5", and use the 5 point star; therefore confusing outisders who view the number 5 as a People Nation symbol into thinking all Bloods use the number 5 and represent the People Nation. A lot of the times when a Blood uses the number 5 it simply symbolizes the number of letters in the word B.L.O.O.D., so when a Blood calls himself “5" he is infact simply reffering to himself as “BLOOD”. But sometimes Blood sets use of the number 5 goes deeper and integrated into written blood set literature and meanings of the 5 for their particular set or card; most notably with the UBN Blood card of New York City and the Outlaw Loco Bloods set of Chicago. T. Rodgers claims to have been sent to L.A by Chicago’s main 21 at the age of 12 to spread the nation and it’s teachings. The People Nation alliance did not yet exist in Chicago at the time, so the Stones joined the Brims in Los Angeles as their own Brim sets before the Brims requested to be sanctioned into the Blood Alliance. Even though the Black P Stones in Los Angeles joined the Blood Alliance with the rest of the Brims and soon became their own Blood sets separate from the Brims, The Black P Stones in Chicago remained an independent gang untill the People Nation was created in 1978. The Black P Stones in Los Angeles took on the wearing of red flags like all Bloods and now flag to the right as Bloods should, but uses the same symbols (5 point stars, pyramids, etc) and teachings as the original Stones in Chicago; thereby making the Black P Stone Bloods of Los Angeles the first 5 riding Bloods set. The original Black P Stones in Chicago have been known to show great animosity towards the Black P Stone Bloods in Los Angeles for joining the Blood alliance without permission from the Stones in Chicago, so the Black P Stones in Los Angeles are regarded as renegades by the original Stones in Chicago. Renegade is a person or group of individuals claiming a gang or organization that they are not or are no longer really a part of or on count with. Contrary to another popular belief, T. Rodgers did not start the Bloods, and was not even at the meeting where the Bloods was created. His gang just simply fell in line with the Blood Alliance after the Blood Alliance was created.

Many People Nation mob members / brothers can be found on TheHoodUp.com, which is a notorious virtual gathering-place for many other gangs as well. The reason many Brothers and other gang members choose to communicate with each other on TheHoodUp.com over other sites is because of the ability to remain completely anonymous and avoid being tracked by the "internet-police" while being able to communicate with other gang members from around the world.
