Twitter Violence
The digerati aren’t the only one’s enamored of Twitter. Turns out street gangs have found the platform a useful tool—and valuable turf to occupy.
The Gothamist reports:
The city’s street gangs have turned to Twitter to communicate amongst themselves, taunt their foes, and plan brawls, according to the Daily News. Police even think an adolescent might have been shot in the legs on Lenox Avenue over an online turf war started by the Original Young Gangsters clique on Twitter.
