Auto Show meets gang war
When someone thinks of gang wars, the shiny new cars of the New York Auto Show don't come to mind. But last night, the Crips and the Bloods turned the Javits Center into a gang fight. A crowd of about 80 started a brawl and three men wearing red were arrested. Luckily no one was hurt. It turns out it is a tradition for the two gangs to attend the show on Easter. That's one tradition I think we can skip next year.
