← Return to Main Database Target Profile: Bloodhound Brim
Known Aliases: BHB, Bloodhound Brims, The Hounds, BH.
Origin: New York City (Specifically establishing large structural roots natively bridging The Bronx and Harlem vectors) — Officially codified roughly mid-2000s. Evolving out of the broader New York Blood Brim Army (NYBBA) overarching confederation, acting as a militant, aggressive subset fundamentally tracing its deepest ideological DNA back to the original Los Angeles Brims.
Active Regions: Primary AOR: The Bronx, Manhattan (Harlem), Brooklyn. Secondary AOR: Upstate New York hubs (Binghamton, Syracuse), extensive into New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Maintaining entrenched, heavily militarized presence successfully inside the NYS DOCCS penalty grids.
Known Alliances: New York Blood Brim Army (NYBBA) foundational core subset. Historically operates firmly aligned fully alongside the 'Hat Gang' frameworks heavily originating from legacy LA frameworks.
Known Rivalries: Crips — Generational, broad East Coast hostilities. United Blood Nation (UBN) legacy sets — The Brims operate parallel to, but fully distinct administratively from, the UBN, historically causing extreme, violent 'Blood-on-Blood' frictional warfare deciding dominance specifically within NYCDOC environments. Trinitarios.
Primary Identifiers: Colors: Red (Traditional Bloods). Symbols: The aggressive Bloodhound or Pitbull dog motif (identifying their specific namesake unequivocally), the 'B' designation. Tattoos: visible 'BHB' arrays, elaborate dog imagery permanently inked onto the chest or forearms, explicit Brim identifiers frequently utilizing the Los Angeles Dodgers 'LA' or 'B' (Boston) interchangeably depending purely upon localized subset rules. Apparel: Boston Red Sox utilized to flaunt the 'B'. Hand signs: Demonstrating the 'B' occasionally combining dog-ear mimicking forms.
Affiliated Sets: large localized 'Lineups' and 'Pedigrees' actively governing specific NYC geographical borough corridors strictly reporting upstream into centralized commands.
Executive Summary:
The Bloodhound Brims (BHB) perfectly command presence as a violent, populous component structuring the New York Blood Brim Army (NYBBA). Strikingly distinct from the vast United Blood Nation (UBN) which fundamentally originated uniquely inside Rikers Island, the NYBBA architecture proudly and aggressively traces its overarching ideological lineage straight back directly across the country to the original 1970s Los Angeles Brim subsets. This precise, rigid ideological distinction occasionally fuels extreme, significant inter-Blood warfare specifically detonating across New York correctional facilities whenever Brim operators refuse UBN subjugation orders.
The Bloodhounds are brutally infamous precisely for executing extensive, lethal 'street-level' racketeering. Their structural economy monopolizes extreme neighborhood heroin/fentanyl pipeline distributions, dominates vast illegal firearm smuggling chains heavily mapping straight out of the Deep South ('Iron Pipeline'), and coordinates structured violent execution networks designed solely to defend large retail drug 'spots' primarily mapped across the Bronx and Harlem. The gang hierarchy operates utilizing extreme, rigid militaristic discipline; street members strictly answer continuously functioning 'Godfathers' and 'Pedigrees' commanding overarching chapters.
The federal SDNY alongside the NYPD consistently designates the Bloodhound Brims exclusively as a top-tier violent threat. Significant broad RICO takedowns stretching across the late 2010s violently dismantled large BHB command elements, heavily indicting upper-echelon 'Lineups' and exposing highly elaborate, coordinated multi-state drug logistics executing directly alongside horrific broad-daylight attempted murders fully orchestrated via encrypted cell networks originating from isolated upstate New York maximum security blocks.
