re: #212 elizajane
I read those descriptions of the “Choom Gang“‘s activities, too. They sounded like the sort of things that students were also doing at my prim, tea-and-biscuits, nerdy little Seven Sisters college. Honestly, the only people who would call them wild and depraved (as I have heard from the Right) are people who never went to college, and possibly never to high school.
Oh, wait. That would explain everything.
Some of the most vicious gangs exist on university campuses. They’re called fraternities and sororities.
