[lbo-talk] Gangbangers vs. Lynching Mobs

[info at pulpculture.org]

gangs have also been around a long time. in the Tamany Hall days, young 
boys did their dirty work, etc. One of the pushes for things like the YMCA, 
boyscouts, etc. was the fear of the kids who ran the streets causing 
trouble -- gangs.

thanks to YOshie for all the work and research.
