The Perna’s were not really dealing with the bloods, thats bull shit. What happened was one of the younger guys with Perna was doing a bid in northern state and was having an issue with some black guys. Have to remember, northern state prison is mostly black. Anyway, this guy tells Perna he is getting harrassed and Perna tells the kid to tell everyone “he is with him”.
Perna sets up a visit to step up to the plate and help the guy out. Thats how it started.
