THIS IS ONE OF, IF NOT THE MOST FAMOUS URBAN LEGEND.
The story is that a new gang initiation ritual has become prevalent in our city. The hoodlums pile in a car, at night, and drive the highways and byways with their lights off. The first person who 'flashes' them with their lights (in the time-honored gesture of 'hey, idiot, your lights are off!') becomes their prey. The gangbangers then pursue the samaritan and the initiate must gun him or her down without mercy.
Sounds like a myth, right? But do you suppose there is a kernel of truth to the rumor; that perhaps somewhere at sometime some thugs did, in fact, use this modus operandi?
THIS IS JUST ONE VERSION OF THE STORY AND THERE ARE MANY MORE VERSIONS THAT HAVE BEEN TOLD. |
