We'll tear up the town!

It's what the SJ Mecury News isn't willing to print that makes more sense than what is has been willing to print,

Simply substitute the word "Asian gang" for the word "fraternity" and now the article makes sense and in fact probably wouldn't merit printing beyond a single report of the death of a gang member.

The SJ Mercury News is simply afraid to offend the large (and growing), post Vietnam conflict, Asian community in it's area that is breeding gangs which have now spilled out into the central valley of California and are now infecting both Modesto and Fresno.

As an example, a substantial portion (4) of the gun related homocides in Fresno the past 90 days has been Asian gang activity that stems from the San Jose area.
