We didn't even have a red light much less gangs or clansmen.

People always did that to my poor, barely-mobile grandma so my friend and I objected and they offered to let us walk home, which we did. Fortunately a couple miles back to town wasn't a big deal for us back in the day. I'd have called my dad for a ride, but we were probably tipsy- it was a Saturday night.

It turned out that line was thinner than I realized when I pranked a neighbor and had to clean everything up under the baleful gaze of a very upset mother who explained to me that her family had trash dumped in their yard several times in our racist little city - by the Klan. We really had a Klan in town and I had run into them before - they dumped trash in our yard when I was a smaller kid and some of their kids made my life awful at school. I hadn't realized the neighbors had more run-ins with them and when they saw the TP in their trees, they thought that my "prank" was another outbreak of racism. I fessed up, cleaned up, apologized, and my neighbors forgave me after we had some long conversations. I never, ever TPed anyone's house again.
