I was running late this morning... left home for the farm at about 5:15

2. I do think this is related to the end of the school year...

The young kids are sort of let loose and they variously attach themselves to groups/gangs that welcome them.

Of course from the community perspective this is a terrible thing that sucks kids into gang behaviors.

But, yourng teens don't always have a strong sense of ethics/good community behavior. And some fraction of them they can be "played" to get into gang behaviors that stand them in good stead with the thungs

I'm not trying to stereotype. I'm saying SOME as in a fraction of the whole.

I grew up in a VERY working class neighborhood, mostly white, and we were regularly invited/sucked into racist gang behavior.

Thank goodness I really never saw violence as a power I wished to emulate.
