“The long war between the Burger Bar Boys and the Johnson Crew has its origins in a childish dispute between two friends.
Two black youths argued in the early 1990’s about who had won a violent computer game – Streetfighter, which features fights between muscular characters.
When words failed to settle the argument, the violence spilled over into real life.”
So is this, shock horror, the Daily Mail blaming games for turning these people into gun-crazed gangs? Yep.
Reminds me of my ‘You’ve Been Blamed’ topic.

How can you not be 100% sure who won a game of Streetfighter? Besides one person being flung to the ground like wet jeans, the game actually shouts out "YOU WIN" while the winning character fists the air and makes some hard-man pose.
These gangs clearly started because the people involved were thicker Auntie Maggie's cream custard.
Fo' sho'!!!
