In defense of those poor kids, ya gotta understand how safe Aggieland feels anyhow. This was right across the street from campus. I myself was out very late on that very strip many times, but that was more'n 25 years ago.

Never saw hardly any until a teenager when I came here to the 'States, but we was only about a twenty minute drive from Harlem and tbe Bronx in the bad old days so ya, inner city behavior was no mystery.
