The Head Hunters and the Mongols are embracing a season of gunshots.
OPINION:
MONDAY
The Mongols: O autumn! O season of falling leaves and the lightness of being. People stereotype deported 501s from Australia as hardened criminals without any appreciation of beauty but the Mongols are sensitive to criticism. In fact, no gang is more f en sensitive than the Mongols.
The Head Hunters: Autumn is with us, heralding a melancholy season of such sweet sorrows and tender longings. People think of violent gangs who trade in methamphetamine as devoid of fine feelings but the Head Hunters stand up for fine feelings. In fact, no gang has finer f en feelings than the Head Hunters.
