youthful desperadoes
TBHC100 years ago…
April 30, 1906 – The Tampa Tribune reports that “youthful desperadoes” were tormenting residents of Tampa’s Hyde Park neighborhood. A “gang of bad boys” had, for the past few nights, committed “all manner of outrages against property,” including slashing automobile tires and throwing rocks. Some residents knew who some of the boys were and claimed that they would go to the police if “they do not desist.”

Wow, a hundred years of not being able to keep gangs in check.
