Maybe,but she also said this guy lived in S.F. during the 19th century Tong/Highbinder Wars,was a reporter &amp; illustrator,had undoubtedly observed these guys in person-perhaps it was a status symbol.</p><p>The Tongs are still very active in many Chinese communities and are now basically benevolent community associations.</p><p>Today&#039;s &#039;Highbinders&#039; are now simply called Gangs or Triads.</p><p>Here&#039;s a video of a gang massacre that occurred at the Golden Dragon Restaurant in S.F. in 1977.</p><p><br /></p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]F1jZgCwc9y4[/MEDIA][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
