At the time DL meets Frenesi:
"... DL was just cruising up and down 101 looking for girl motorcycle gangs to terrorize, drinking drugstore vodka out of the bottle, hustling guys named
Snake for enough double-cross whites to get her to the next population center offering a suitable risk to her safety." (p. 115)
Is this being a witness to bad karma or atoning for bad karma or just Hell's Angel's-style nihilism?
