Booklady:
Really???? Gangs in EUROPE??? You know, I first heard of gang wars on TV, watching "Hill Street Blues". It was exciting, those were quite epical tales about brave, crazy young men. Now that they have stabbed, shot, dismembered some 90 people in Madrid only in the last year, I don`t find it exciting any longer. THere are gangs like the "Latin Kings" from Ecuador who have now settled in Madrid too. They say that "Spaniards don`t have balls" and enjoy harassing...or stabbing teens at high schools. THere are murders for drugs, murdered prostitutes, racial violence and violence for territory between gangs.
All that is NEW here, Booklady. I have been living in Europe for the last 30 years, all my life. All this is totally ALIEN to us. OK???
