It's kind of surreal how this whole gang war started out with highschool kids , sort of my era of highschool too in the late 90s between the FOBs and the FOB Killers in Calgary and it all sounds sort of familiar with the scene I remember from back then. It's sort of like feeling this has degenerated into Bloods v. Crips except that it's only a couple of years old and you were around at the genesis and knew the same sort of teenage asian kids behind all of this and it seems ridiculous.

I was too much of a dork to be really in those circles but I remember when the Vuthy Kong and Adam Miu murder happened (which precipitated this cycle of violence), I saw the front page of the Herald or Sun and some of the people dressed in black standing on the street where he was killed in a sort of ad hoc memorial picture were people I recognized or knew, some of them back when we were little kids.

Imagine if somebody had nipped it in the bud then...but there's also a lot of gang influx from Vancouver and other parts of Canada.
