The funeral of a gang member has police on "high alert" today, according to Newsday. Melissa Williams, 28, was fatally shot last month in the Rockaways: "Williams was an associate of GIB, Get It In Bricks - a reference to bricks of cocaine - police sources said. The man charged in her shooting, Nigel Vasser, also 28, is a Bloods member with a sect known as HRG Blood, for Hood Related Gangster." The two gangs have been at fighting for a few years now and, based on "prisoner debriefings" and informants' news, the NYPD will have a number of units (including the Gang Division) present at the viewing at a Rockaways Church. Further, Newsday reports, "The NYPD is so worried it even notified New Jersey State Police because Williams will be buried in Morganville, N.J., at the Forest Green Park Cemetery, and it is not unusual for rival gangs to confront each other graveside."

Vermin, all of them.
Dump all the gang bangers on a deserted island and let them slaughter each other.
That idea sounds like some sort of crappy new fakeality show on Fox.
i'd watch it
I saw that when it was called "Battle Royale."
I agree. Deserted Island and let them sort out their diffrences there.
"the NYPD will have a number of units (including the Gang Division) present at the viewing at a Rockaways Church"
Hopefully, an altercation will develop and the NYPD will open fire and blow all those assholes away. Of course, then we'll have to listen to Sharpton bitch about unnecessary force.
please, please, please!
And let's see some video...
They're just keeping it real the best way they know how. Why not just let them kill each other? It would be a win-win for all non-savages.
Will the NYPD cordon off a three block area around these event sites and allow only gang members into this core? Shouldn't they return all those weapons that were turned in for cash back to the original owners so they can wipe each other out?
Then when all the fun is over, tighten the noose and kill all those that remain standing inside the area. After that, release a pack of starved pitbulls into the area to clean up the mess.
Now that is what I call coordinated planning. Not a bunch of guys with cameras taking pictures of mourners.
Also shouldn't "Get It In Bricks" be GIIB not GIB? Don't these gang members know how to spell?
I can see it now...The 1st Annual "National Gangsta Spelling Bee" on NBC primetime.
More like Million Gangsta March.
LOL! gangsta spelling bee I lol'd.
OK Shaniqua spell "Little" and use it in a sentence. Shaniqua, "Little, "LIL'". Lil' Kim."
Those are some really dumb sounding gang names.
People in gangs are slightly mentally retarded. They lack logic. I knew a guy who went by the name of "ICE" he was white and claimed to be a crip. He was also kicking it to this girl i knew at the time saying "Baby i'll drive you in my beemer." His beemer was a 1990 Caddy el dorado. /end rant

Seeing these words in print it looks sort of like an LOLcat. Biggie truly was ahead of his time.
"I'm in ur funeral, pretendin 2 be sads."
Shouldent it be GIIB?
So did anyone get blown away or was it a false alarm?
