Alright, let's get this over with.

I am sorry for the delay in myself coming out here to address you all.  The events that transpired today are nothing short of tragic, and I am solely to blame.  Please, do not run to Godfather SpikeS and start slinging accusations at him.   He and I did not discuss this attack by Chicago beforehand, and he has been gracious enough to understand my motives after the fact.  I am not here to smear anyone's family or ruin the lives of their children.  I am merely here to state the facts.

In all honesty, I counted Godmother Rayln and Godfather Wiggles as some of my closest friends.  It's never easy to drop the hammer on your friends even when they deserve it.  There is nothing worse than having to murder someone that you have spent countless hours building something with.  Some people call me a monster for doing it with such a straight face.  To those people I say, you are completely correct.  I have never denied the fact.  Someone has to be sometimes.

What first got Godfather Wiggles on my radar was a number of weeks ago.  I was sitting in my headquarters enjoying a fine woman when heard whispers that something was amiss within Philadelphia.   The reports stated that while in a moment of idiocy, Godfather Wiggles was seen shooting the bodyguards of SpikeS's dear friend Myrddin.  In retaliation (or some other craziness), Godmother Rayln took in upon herself to teach the Godfather a lesson and shoot his bodyguards in return.  In a further move, the Godfather then returned fire on Rayln and killed a number of her guards.  I don't know about you but I have never, ever even heard of Godfathers acting in such a matter.  Murdering the bodyguards is an offensive attack on someones person.  To me, this world has standards in which people in such a position should act.  Am I the world police or moral compass?  You betcha.  After conferring with Godfather SpikeS I kept to myself while we both shoot our heads.  I didn't raise a word against the actions even when someone should have.

My next problem I had with the Godfather happened a number of times.  I am all for a joking and a bit of fun, but when I heard that Wiggles was "joking" about ending the life of Godfather SpikeS my ears definitely perked up.  If there is ever anything that should not be joked about, it's that one subject.  I could maybe even excuse it if it happened once.  It didn't.  This happened on numerous occasions in front of multiple different groups of mafioso.  Again, we have standards here.  Fun and games are on thing.  Joking about ending the life of the most powerful man in our wold is not a fucking joke.  This coupled with the fact that Godfather Wiggles had said numerous times how "bored" he was and "sick of the life", I didn't see it as a far step for him to make good on his "jokes".  But again I sat idle after conferring with SpikeS.  

The final straw for me came with the Esau debacle.  Everyone by now knows that Chicago was contracted to take out Bella Vista for offenses against Chicago's beautiful captain, Maria.  We all know that story already.  If not I'm sure someone can send you a transcript of my speech.  Anyway... a number of nights ago I was speaking with Godfather Wiggles about this and that over coffee.  During our conversation he mentioned that he thought that situation would be "eye for an eye" so to speak.  I took this to mean as he had expected Maria to also meet her end just because Esau did.  No offense but I do not let go of Morningwood members easily.  It is pretty much the only thing I hold sacred anymore.  To hear that the Godfather had expected her to die and that he was mad she hadn't worried me deeply.  It meant that there was clearly a vendetta that would have to be settled some day.  Letting Godfather Wiggles sit and stew any longer was going to be dangerous for everyone given his attitude towards the end.  If he was bringing it up to me personally now meant he had definitely mentioned his ideas and anger to his other people.  I was not going to wait around to see exactly how these things would play out.  It just isn't in my nature to stand idly by while people plan and plot the destruction of my friends.  The best defense is a good offense I think the saying goes.  

Now, how does Godmother Rayln fit into this equation?  Purely because she was too loyal.  I didn't think that were would ever be a day where the good Godmother would ever let Wiggles die.  She clearly was used to putting up with his bullshit and had become accustomed to it.  Again, we have standards here.  Even after the exchange of fire at each others bodyguards, she did nothing.  She was completely content to let Godfather Wiggles run wild.  I didn't see it as a far stretch that she would defend him to the end.  Leaving her out of my attack would have cost my people their lives and I was not willing to jeopardize Morningwood.  

Am I a monster?  Totally.  Judge me however you wish.  I know that my people in Chicago appreciate the brand of protection I bring to the table.  I am not willing to roll over for anyone or let anyone threaten my friends and loved ones.  I will never let anyone jeopardize my people unless they have a damn good reason.  If you fault me for protecting my people and friends, you not cut out for this life.  There isn't a point to being a crew leader if you are not willing to put everything on the line for them.  That is what I have done here.

When you realize people are too afraid to respond.

Are they afraid, or do they no longer give a shit? I know what I think.

Finallyy - everything you said there like it was bad... is exactly what this life is meant to be. I think the only person that needs to evaluate how to live this life is you.

Don Boom made a judgment call, and it looks like he judged right. Chicago is still standing, Philly and Brooklyn are not. Philly could have backed Esau weeks ago and gone after Chicago, but they didn't. WigglesFanGirl made decisions that landed him and his city in the grave.

The fact that they were Godfathers was clearly irrelevant, as bullets don't have much respect for titles.

RIP to all the fallen. 

Good men and women lost their lives in this unfortunate tragedy - on both sides. Heroes one and all. Scripture tells us that we are found pure and faultless when we look after widows and orphans in their distress. There are needs to be met, and children are living in lack.

Thank you to all whom have opened their doors and found room for the homeless. 

Well, it's become obvious now that all of this is bullshit... 

Bullshit from DoctorBoom? Shocking! 

It was always obvious to most Mr. Myrddin

People crying because they are dying?! Shocking!

 Pretty sure you cried when that rope broke.

Quoting something that didn't happen in this world of ours! Nice! Nice! Niceeeeeeeee!

I hope the extenuated nice shows how nice that comment was.

Haha get a load of this nut, now he's talking about other worlds. The circus wrestlers must have dropped him on his head a few too many times.

Welll, I'm not crying. More just stating the obvious
