I just came home after a long Sunday and noticed that there is some speculation over Joe Biden and Corn Pop. I’ve been to Wilmington and talked to folks who knew Joe at the pool and know some things, beyond the speculation. But first, please read story: washingtonpost.com/politics/at-a-…
Yes, Corn Pop was a real. Lots of people I spoke with knew him and talked about him, even if they had never met Joe Biden.
It is a wrong to compare “gangs” in 1962 to stereotypes of gangs today. They weren’t murderous, drug dealing bangers. They were groups of young kids who gave their cliques, their neighborhoods and themselves nicknames and fought. Corn Pop was a part of a gang named the Romans.
