“Everyone was a possible victim here. Nobody was safe. Total insecurity. And this is the way you feel today if you want to walk around in some of our inner cities. Everybody’s bedizened and befuddled by these magic arts. It’s the mystique of the gangs and the graffiti…They get themselves up in fantastic, spooky costumes; paint their faces; draw their weird graffitis; and have their secret signs.” (Teachings From the Book of Mormon, Lecture 106, p. 211)
