After she spoke for several more hours with her counsel she came back to the room where the questioning was transpiring against her.

 She cleared her throat  and spoke loudly  and clear.

I am only saying this once and if you can't understand what I am trying to convey here then you need a lobotomy.

People  think that because they are on a street corner or in a place outside their home  that the other person on the other side of their perception  doesn't have feelings or shouldn't becasue it is not their perception. There is still a human being on the other side of  your perception.

She paused trying to gather her self and remain calm as she was absolutely livid only moments ago speaking with her counsel. She took a deep breath and calmed her self then continued.

People need to think more.   As I told my counsel  I clearly  stated my reason in the hit-list message and made sure it was known that I placed them. I did not run and hide behind an anonymous tree or street corner. He needs to apologize for his slander and now also his attack on the integrity of my work. But I wont get that and if I do I will be mocked or it will not be heartfelt. So it won't mean anything and it won't change anything here.  

There is still a human being on the other side of your perception.

With that she left the room where the questioning was being held. As she kept repeating to herself in a soothing tone  not my circus, not my monkeys, my monkeys fly.

Must be nice to come out to the streets, throw around baseless accusations of lying, back them up with nothing, and then retreat back to obscurity with your parting words to your own argument being that you don't want to "waste your time" in an argument that you started.    Don't quit your day job, street debate is clearly not for you.  PhillipMarleau, ice skating rink attendant by day, ice-skating rink attendant by night too. 

You can keep trying to pump life into this story all you like, but this issue is much like every person who ever served under Shannon-Whelan except me.  Dead.

The real question here is who allowed Destro to live and why? Your loyalty is supposed to be to your leader and city until the end. One should go down fighting. Being alive isn't an accomplishment. It means you are a turncoat.

Well at least you're now just bitching and moaning that I mention her in the streets frequently, PhillipMarleau.  That's a little more fair than claiming I've been telling any lies about her.  In fact, I'm pretty sure I have only spoken kindly about Shannon, both in public and in private. 

So while it breaks my cold black heart that Shannon would call me a cruel name after we parted ways, I was very fond of Shannon-Whelan and remain fond of her to this day.  In fact, I still carry this picture of her and I together to remind me of happier times.

Fun fact: As it turns out, this picture also doubles as the last group photo of the entire Shannon-Whelan Crew all together in the final days before it disbanded. 

Nicky, while I see your point, you're misinformed about this particular set of circumstances.  I was dropped from Shannon's crew with her blessing to find employment elsewhere.  I found my place in DT with a man named Sharpe and have been continuing to thrive under his command.

I had no desire to serve as a hand in her crew, PhillipMarleau.  Especially after seeing her last Right Hand Man sent off to slaughter in the manner in which he was, disgraced and abandoned.  And I still talk about Shannon because she was a chapter in Destro's story.  An early chapter, but an important one, and a chapter I look back fondly on.  What will you have to reflect back on when you write the memoirs of your career?  Operating a ice skating rink with exactly two patrons, one of which was a woman who had never even seen a hockey game before, and me who was there solely to heckle you while you floundered around out there on the ice.  Embarrassing.  Comparing my career to yours is like comparing @NotoriosBIG to NotoriousPIG (with Destro obviously being the more successful and respected NotoriousBIG in this equation)

I have had an incredibly busy and stressful day. The Streets have not been at the forefront of my mind nor those participating in this nonsense. There are a couple of issues that I will address then I will retire from the conversation. I have nor the time or the inclination to be involved in a slanging match. If anyone wishes to discuss anything with me further my door within the HQ is always open. Drop me a line.

In the early hours of this morning there were two hits placed upon a member of Viktor crew. This is absolutely unacceptable in anybodies eyes. Of that there is no doubt but I am a fair man. I take people on face value and my member deserved the time to respond to my questions. I am thankful that I took that time out instead of following my instinct to draw my gun.

A persons own self worth and their personal well being is important to me. In this situation a misunderstanding could've led to bloodshed and death. In a few simple mails it was obvious this could be averted and rightly so.

A Wise Guy going at a Wise Guy is nothing new. It's happened before and it'll happen again. When someone felt they were belittled they acted by highlighting the issue by placing a hit upon the other parties head. Let me make this clear from the outset. I do not cordon such behaviour nor do I view it as correct. Luckily my Godfather SeanCallan was online to buy the hits off at no cost to Philidelphia, no blood was shed and an uneasy cease fire was held. I would also like to thank Jadon for taking the time to listen to my reasoning and fully supporting the course of action that has gone forward today.

Conversations with the newspapers intern and his gracious leader were had. Viktor coming to me personally so we could have a productive chat allowing the misunderstanding to be explained and resolved. I would like to thank them both in accepting my humble apologises and seeing that there was more to gain for us all by keeping our guns holstered. This does not make my members feelings incorrect only her actions in displaying them. We have discussed this and she understands that there are other ways to address such matters going forward. The matter is now closed.

Destro, in defending his fellow member has opened himself up to a number of responses. Let me again be clear. Destro is a Boss in my family. He places himself in to positions of conflict within the Streets and I let a lot slide from both ways as is fair. What I view as an extreme insult personally is a Wise Guy openly abusing a Chosen Man over his past and what he currently offers me. This I would suggest is as big of an insult as the original reason we have gathered here today.

A number of people have made some incredibly poor choices for the right reasons. I would suggest that some more decisions are made, and quickly, as to what is appropriate within our streets and within the ranks people hold.

As I said. I am an incredibly busy man. If anyone has any issue with the words I have spoken. You'll find me in 12th Street.

Good Day.

A number of people have made some incredibly poor choices for the right reasons. I would suggest that some more decisions are made, and quickly, as to what is appropriate within our streets and within the ranks people hold.

and if they don’t?
