Still doesn't mean it belongs here.
It's not really a state of society. This kind of crap happened a lot in South Texas. I am a product of PSJA High. Here is a list of crap that happened and where in the RGV.
- 1980 - McHi had guys break into the school and cause thousands of $$$ in damage by releasing tear gas throughout the school. Several dudes were arrested.
- 1981 - Mission High - PSJA plays them at Tom Landry Stadium. They set up tear gas canisters underneath the bleachers where the drill team and band are playing. When the band and drill team head to their busses, they were pummeled with bricks and sticks wrapped in barbed wire. As a result, anytime a band or drill team travels in the RGV, they have to put their uniform bags up over the windows, and are forced to keep their windows UP until you're on the freeway.
- My high school has had the reputation for having the worst fights. Kids have been shanked, teachers have had their hair set on fire, etc. All gang related. This has been going on since the 70's.
When this broke yesterday, everyone from the Valley laughed about it, because it wasn't shocking.
So for us, this isn't new. This is a product of a bunch of poor people acting foolish. And that's why a lot of us don't have a desire to go back.
