Ok guys, I’m not completely sure how to react to this, so I decided to show you all…
From a Mexican newspaper, La Crónica and my translation for you.
”Last Friday hundreds of young men gathered around the streets of downtown Queretaro in order to “finish” with all and every emo they could find, or so the leaders claimed.
According to the Municipal Guard and the Department of Public Security, at least one thousand youths met at Guerrero Garden, at the Plaza de Armas (in front of the Goverment Palace) in order to move together towards the city’s plaza.
Once there the aggressors (identifies with several movements such as metal, skaters and punks) started to harbum the emos, with the intention of – according to police witnesses – “taking back the public spaces that they [the emos] had stolen from them.”
The fight left 28 young men under arrest (25 of them under-age) and three wounded emos. One of them had to be protected by a woman and her daughter in order to escape being lynched.”
Original article can be found at “La Crónica” (in Spanish). (my translation’s not perfect, but who is?)
After the attack, it was discovered that the lynching was planned through the internet, via several forums and inflammatory e-mails.
I don’t know what to think. Part of me, like the good troll I am, is ROTFLOL’ing right now. C’mon. Hitting emos? What could be funnier?
But then real life kicks in. This isn’t the internets. Sure, through the computer screen it all seems funny, but shouldn’t there be a line between that and it really happening? A thousand people trying to lynch a bunch of emos? Wow. Just… wrong. No matter how annoying emos can be, aren’t we supposed to live and let live? Respect thy neighbor, all that?
I mean, it’s not my problem if they decide to be ridiculous little whiners. I’m not the one who’s getting all ****ed up.
At any rate, I thought this was something you all could enjoy, or be interested to. What do you think? I wonder, though, if there are some videos. I’ll have to search the youtubes for answers…. |

My big brother tells me about how a Hispanic gang tried to jump him when he was dressing gothy and playing V:TM live action at a downtown locale.
luckily the rest of the larp group, which was like 50 people, showed up before any blows were traded, and the handful of gang bangers ran off after throwing a couple bottles.
local gangs will perceive a group of people dressing similar as a threat to their territory, even if those people are just weeping softly into huge piles of sweaters, and writing bad poetry. Pickled Dickbutt edited this message on 03/11/2008 12:46AM |

Same idea of having fights/wars over religion. People hate people. Except for cam whores because we’re hot and like to show if off. |

My local town center in the UK has so many goths and emos its become a common sport to go out and scare them.
When I was young and stupid I was a goth to fit into the particular clique my “freinds” were in, but I soon learned they were mostly dity, smelly, self obsessed, whiney, superficial, arrogant, hypocritical, lazy “oh no one understands me thats why my mum does everything for me and i dont have a job” losers. I now look like your average hard bum chav, trainers and track suit, hoodie and cap. I just just have to say boo to people who think the are out of the matrix or are a vampire and they **** themselves. About a year ago i discovered other people who do the same thing, there are now about 20-30 of us who meet up now and then to and cleanse the town centre of these losers. Its not becouse we dont like them, thy are probably decent people when they snap out of it, but untill they stop hanging around our places of work, losing us business by making our town look like some kind of dirty vagrant fetish club they are open targets.
Go have a wash, get some decent clothes that you dont wear every single day without washing, and for christ sake, get a hair cut. d000dl3s edited this message on 03/11/2008 6:35PM |

eh to be honest, I ran the whole gambit growing up. I was a prep, a skater, goth, emo, punk, eclectic…. I tried everything. Lately all I do is dress for work, but I still like to occasionally goth it up… usually when I get to go out nowadays I just wear jeans, a t-shirt, and a sweatshirt or sweater of some type…and typing all that made me feel really old, le sigh |

I was a goth back in highschool, but wised up. I’m… pretty normal, lately. Woohoo for me.
But me and my friends dressed up as emo kids for St. Valentine’s, wrote bad poetry and handed it around college. It was fun, except that later on we couldn’t get into any bar – we looked too damn young! So now you know. Wanna look younger? Dress as an emo kid.
I’m guessing we won’t be repeating it, since getting beat up because of your clothes is never fun. |

I have never been emo, and I’m proud of it. **** yeah for me. However, my sister was this ultra-communist-oh-holy-****-lenin-was-great-which-is-why-I-dress-like-a-very special-downie ****, which made me punch her not only once, but twice. I do, however, think it is acceptable to be emo, as long as you don’t have the urge to tell everyone around you about your inner very specialness. I do not find communism acceptable, however.

True, but then they’d go home, FAP over it, then have to pray for forgiveness for the FAP-ing and naughty thoughts. |

Cliques: An absolutely useless and mindlessly destructive set of social rules used to boost the self-esteem of people that usually end up being quite worthless after school. These individuals need to pluck their egos out of their high and mighty bumes before the real world comes to rip them out of the womb that their lives are.
Cliques are NOT eudaemonic, and will never be so. Flee from their spheres of influence before they consume, and eventually regurgitate you in a very unhappy way.
BWAR: Evil is afoot. |

I think the saddest thing about this is that only 3 emo kids were injured. |

As for not washing, are you confusing emos with the homeless? Emos tend to wear rather cleaner clothing, although it may have many permanent bloodstains Log in to see images!
