Now, in 2016, people are realizing how dangerous and deadly these criminal organizations truly are. When it comes to their rituals, such as initiation for new gang members, these gangs really show their true colors and violence. The rituals are disturbing, downright disgusting, and sometimes deadly. Here are the ten most horrifying gang rituals worldwide.

Hell’s Angels

Junky Funky Kids

The Junky Funky Kids may sound like a joke, but this Cape Town, South Africa, gang recruits young boys straight out of High School. The first step is to survive a significant beating from full members, then the recruit must race through a gauntlet of members with planks, clubs, and other blunt weapons.

Mac Baller Brims

The Mac Baller Brims, located in the Bronx, are linked with the Bloods. To become one of the YGs, or young gangstas, recruits must prove their worthiness by performing a hit at young ages, including just 14. This assassination has led many young recruits to an early grave.

Elite Boys

The Elite Boys are a very different gang that can only be likened to the Hell’s Angels. These gang members tend to be of a high social class from colleges such as Cambridge and Yale. To join, recruits must drink and eat disgusting combinations, go through public humilation, and more. Some have ended up hospitalized.

Aryan Brotherhood

The Aryan Brotherhood, a White Supremacist sect, are quite popular throughout US prisons. They tend to focus on male prostitution, extortion, and drug smuggling inside. To join, one must ‘make their bones’ by murdering rival gang members and prison employees.

Latin Kings

The Latin Kings are known for being one of the most dangerous gangs in the United States. They began in Chicago sometime during the 1940s, and have spread to 34 states across the country. To become one, youngsters must participate in a drive-by shooting on Gangster Disciples members.

Roto Gang

The Roto Gang are another group operating out of South Africa. They specialize in burglary and robbing rich residents of Randburg. To enter the crew, recruits were forced to participate in the beating, killing, and mutilation of an offending Roto member.

Numbers Gang

The Numbers Gang, an organization originating in Johannesburg, are one of the most dangerous prison gangs in South Africa. Recruits are asked a simple question: What would you do it it were raining and you had just one umbrella with another gang member? Sharing the umbrella means you would become a sex worker – basically male prostitution. Upon answering with standing in the rain together, the initiate must attack a prison guard and endure the beating without making a sound.
