Random Strangers Hunted, Slashed With Razor Blades For Gang Initiations – Orlando News Story – WKMG Orlando — Cripes, what next?
Investigators said a gang in Flagler County is sending its future members to Daytona Beach to seek out victims to cut. Once a gang recruit slashes a stranger, he gains the respect of his peers and is inducted into their underground society, police told Local 6s Tarik Minor.
The latest victims have prompted a warning to the community from police. “It could be anybody they see,” Daytona Beach police Sgt. Bill Walden said. “In both incidents, it was just someone walking down the road, taken by surprise.”
#30–Mustard==you are confusing main characters with theme.
Arepas? That looks like an excellent lunch, and close to a gyro? You just made me hungry.
I recall gyro’s. Ran across them in Greece, Thesoloniki, and they were 5-10 cents depending on ingredients. Got back to States and in NYC–a slightly larger sandwhich that tasted no where near as good was 5-6 Dollars. I knew I wanted to retire overseas.
Well, my medicine is kicking in. You have the watch Mustard.
Bobster, the main characters are what they are. And they’re quite similar in the Gang Slashing Escapade and ACO. The “theme” is what Cliff and his Notes and the latter-day pundits decide them to be.
The arepas are superficially similar to gyros, but quite different. Arepas are made out of a corn-bready exterior, and the original ones just have cheese melted inside. They’ve expanded that, and now they contain whatever the chef deems appropriate to stuff them with. They’re not much easier to make than gyros though, when you include the sweating Greek guys roasting the meat on a rotating spit and cutting off slivers as they become cooked.
Hmmm… Unless I see the arrest warrants and convictions, I’ll assume this is an urban legend. But supposing it isn’t this you would think it then sounds like a good case for allowing more concealed gun permits. Unfortunately, allowing more guns in public in any form always results in more gun violence. That’s always the case. That’s the problem with most proponents of gun ownership around here, they think that allowing more would have prevented Cho from killing as many people when, though this might have stopped him, there’d be more people being shot on campus more often.
>>> #23–Greg==what are those hallmarks? I see stories like this all the time. Different gangs, cities, rites. If they are not all myths, what makes this one different at all?
The hallmarks are usually some SECRET society doing some RANDOM act of violence in some sort of MORALLY OUTRAGEOUS RITUAL.
Of course some seeming urban myths turn out to be true but his story does have the hallmarks.
>>> 27 Ron Larson said,
>>> It sounds EXACTLY like the urban myth of gang members getting initiated by flashing their brights at oncoming cars. Who ever flashed back gets shot dead by the wannabe gangbanger, who is then accepted.
I — with my very ears — heard this highbeam myth reported on a national radio feed.
I remember it vividly because it SUPPOSEDLY happened in Fresno, where I was living, and it was not in the local news.
I waited to hear it the next top-of-the-hour and it had been pulled already.
If you’re fan of urban myths — that’s about as good as it gets.
>>Unfortunately, allowing more guns in public
>>in any form always results in more gun
>>violence.
Link verifying that? Is the “violence” innocent citizens shooting would-be criminals trying to mug, rape, and kill them, or is it violence we should be concerned about?
Personally, I would think twice, maybe even three or four times, about bothering someone if I thought they might be packing a friend. But maybe I’m just a scaredy-pants pussy.
It seems to me that the farther south you go the more blood-thirsty and violent the people are in general. People in the far north aren’t like this. People in Canada are a little worse, people in northern states are a little worse than that, and you idiots in the deep south are just animals. Then go to central and south america and it gets even worse! The only thing keeping the south pole out of the running is a severe lack of-PEOPLE.
Time to promote Daytona as a tourist destination to lawyers everywhere!!
