Teen gangs use Bebo to push violent fantasies

LIMERICK’S teenage gangs are using the Bebo social networking website to live out their fantasies of becoming gun-touting crime lords.

The rival youngsters pledge their allegiances to either side of the violent family feud which has marred the city’s image for the past decade.

They borrow paraphernalia from America’s deadly gangster icons and their sites are adorned with pictures of rap stars, modified cars, weapons and drugs.
