Watch the “warriors” on HBO, it’s based on the tongs in San Francisco

Professor, on the one hand I walk along Pell and Mott and the Bowery at least twice a week; on the other hand, I have heard about the infamous Tong Wars of the turn-of-the-century Chinatown. And now, listening enrapt to your lectures, I find closure and a deep satisfaction. Thank you for your offering.

Too many people don't realise that the world still runs on brute force, and that has never changed!

Unfortunately this is true.....Might does NOT always make right.

It does... But in the end - it is righteousness that lasts. Those that resort to brute force never have peace because they will always have to fight.

In the first episode you mentioned that the tongs would mess with on another by snitching. On the second episode you say they had too much honor to do that?

Yeah, that's been known to happen from time to time throughout gangland history. The Code of Honor is, on occasion, dishonored.
