Default Flashing headlights = gang initiation...

I received this email. Anyone know if there's any truth to this or is it just an urban legend? Here's what I received:

This is an actual warning from the Kentucky State Troopers. Please take
heed. DON'T FLASH HEADLIGHTS AT ANY CAR WITH NO LIGHTS ON!!

Police officers working with the DARE program have issued this Warning: If you are driving after dark and see and on-coming car with no headlights on, DO NOT FLASH YOUR LIGHTS AT THEM! This is a common Bloods member "initiation game" that goes like this: The new gang member under initiation drives along with no headlights, and the first car to flash their headlights at him is now his "target". He is now required to turn around and chase that car, then shoot and kill every individual in the vehicle in order to complete his initiation requirements. Police Depts across the nation are being warned.

Their intent is to have all the new bloods nationwide drive around on Friday and Saturday nights with their headlights off. In order to be accepted into the gang, they have to shoot and kill all individuals in the first auto that does a courtesy flash to warn them that their lights are off.

Make sure you share this information with all the drivers in your family! Please forward this message to all your friends and family members to inform them about this initiation ritual.

Anyone know the validity of this?

It's the same story of a white girl getting her but kicked by a car load of chollas because her lifted truck was shinning her head lights in to the the car of the Mexican gang banger girls. They supposidly pulled her over and beat her ass. This story was taken as fact at my red neck high school.
