COMMISSARKUKU DIES IN DUEL; SANCTION THE VICTOR
By SamAdams, Editor
In a thrilling and fierce street duel in Seattle last evening, Chicago Caporegime CommissarKuku of The Grin Gang was killed by Seattle associate Sanction of Don West's Tranquillity crew. It began at 22:47, and ended 3 minutes and 15 rounds later with Kuku shot in the face. Sanction tells The Star-Examiner that "He wanted to duel me on many occasion. I eventually said yes." Sanction's Boss, Don West, told us that he will not comment on CommissarKuku, but that he is "Happy and proud that Sanction came out on top." CommissarKuku's Boss, Consigliere Grin-07, told us that "He was a loyal soldier and we will miss him."
The son of CommissarKuku, who is remaining incognito, contacted us offering an interview. The full transcript is printed below:
1) Why did your father challenge Sanction?
A few reasons. My father was upset, he'd received a letter from prison, from Big Ape. Big Ape was my father's mentor, he learned so much from him. The letter explained that Big Ape had been missing my father, and had been depressed, so much so that he had sought solace and sanctuary in Teck's company. Whilst the letter did not explicitly state it, my father believed that Big Ape had been sodomizing Teck. This upset me father on a few levels. Big Ape and my father's relationship was platonic. But it was deeply emotional and committed. My father believed Teck to be a scrote and a scumbag. It made him feel exceptionally sad to imagine him as the recipient of Big Ape's lust. My father was so upset that he went Outside, where he encountered Randy_Marsh. An argument started, threats were made. My father was rounded upon by a number of men, all of whom wanted my father dead. He thought about what his father, my grandfather, would have done. I think my father believed that some men had to due in order that he could live in peace. So duels were discussed.
2) What terms did they agree to?
The duel was to take place in Seattle, with Sanction firing first
3) Who did you expect to win?
I thought it was 50/50.
4) What was your reaction when your father died?
Grief, devastation, and pride. My father was a great man, but he lived in the shadow of his father. Both men were leaders of the Streets, and they are already missed. I don't think I could fill even one of the four big shoes left to fill, despite having the capacity and ability to do so. I understand that that appears to be a nonsensical statement, but only someone named Kuku could really claim the title that the Commissars had. But I will try, in my own way, to carry on the work that they started. My father in particular wanted to do something about prison culture. He was deeply committed to making this society of ours one where affection, indeed romance, could be celebrated between and among men. Despite being heterosexual, I am seriously considering not only publishing accounts of masculine romance, but actually procuring a man to experiment with. This will not be easy, not least because being the receptive half of two men in a sexually active relationship carries with it quite a stigma, but progress, like sodomy, doesn't ever start well without brave men and help.
5) Will CH be taking action against SEA for this?
No, and neither should they. Like so many arrangements within prison cells across this nation, it was simply a private matter between two brave and honourable men.
6) Will you be incog for a while?
I think I will, yes. It is perhaps fitting that the life I have been left with is an impoverished one, and one that requires time spent in clandestine areas of this world. The fruit that I wish to taste is forbidden, and the fame of my forefathers could be a barrier to my access to the bathhouses and saunas that I believe are the vehicles to fulfilling my destiny.
7) Any words for Sanction? Do you bear him ill-will?
None whatsoever. He took a chance, as did my father. He had home advantage, rank and the first shot on his side, but my father ended up face down and bleeding, whilst Sanction ended up deeply satisfied, eyes glazed, with his gun clearly showing the signs if a successful action.
8) Words for the readers?
Please bury your animosity towards my father and grandfather with CommissarKuku. He did as much good as bad.
9) Anything else you'd like to add?
Only that I expect many fakes to pretend to be my father. But there was only one, and he's now dead.
