You never know what wierdness exists around you. One of the two young men
that killed the two gay men and probably torched a few Sacramento
synagogues grew up about 20 miles from here and one briefly attended Chico
State. Also, the young woman beheaded in Yosemite was a Chico grad.

Well, Glory Be. I can agree with Brad D.
As to the term for the major crime , how about just "slavery". Lets just associate
