Who the gangs hate more than each other, however, are the authorities. Although David is not allowed to get near the Egyptian Kings, his trip to the courthouse garners much publicity because of it, David meets a tough street youth named Little Bo, who offers to introduce David to the main gangs still out on the streets, namely the mixed-white Mau Maus and the predominantly-Black Bishops, who are fighting each other for territory. With nominal funds, insufficient even to get a hotel room which forces him to sleep in his car, his church sends him to New York City to bring the word of God to the young men and youth of the Egyptian Kings, who are on trial for their violent gang activities. David Wilkerson is a relatively-young parish priest in Philipsburg, Pennsylvania.
