(7,309 posts)In the late 80s, I ran with a group of diverse hooligans; skinheads (non-racist SHARP Skins), mods, punks, etc. We would run around downtown attacking (I'm pro-peace but I am not a pacifist) Hammer Skins and WAR Skins and other garden-variety "boneheads" (a derogatory term used by skinhead subculture against racist skins). Would smash their property, get in fights and otherwise just make life miserable for them. This was in Dallas, and they were the minority. I do remember one time, out in the 'burbs' where they had identified a girl I hung out with, and they surrounded her house, were on the roof - everywhere. That was a pretty scary time, until my friends showed up.
I'm talking huge scary looking SHARP skins. The boneheads suddenly didn't want any trouble. That and another time when my friend got stabbed in front of me, were pretty scary incidents.
It was interesting sometimes, because a few of the boneheads weren't even that committed to their racism. Whenever they weren't with their groups, sometimes they would actually hang out with us and have beers and listen to music. Some were converted. Some, well, some were just lost causes. Kind of like American History X types.
Ahhh, the memories.
As with the Greeks, when in Greece, do what the Greeks do!
