Good evening fellow Mafioso, I am sure you have seen by now the commotion on the streets of Los Angeles. Many of you will have lots of questions; I hope the majority of these will be answered here.

As most will remember, I served as Drexler's Right-Hand for a long time. During that time I witnessed first hand Drexler's lax attitude towards doing pretty much anything at all. I was left to clean up his mess time after time after time, with zero gratitude shown. You have witnessed in the streets how he had no respect for anyone but himself (and people he wanted things from) as demonstrated when he directly insulted a New York Boss, and a New York Right Hand man in our very streets.

Since becoming Godfather, Drexler has become even more reckless. Hiding mobsters whose bloodlines he had made promises not to take in, blatantly lying to those much more powerful than himself and when called out on it calling the other person a liar themselves. Needless to say, Drexler has upset a lot of people around him.

Along with this, Drexler's second captain has caused nothing but trouble since he has been set up, from questioning to the point of insult a Right Hand from Las Vegas, and killing a Capo from an entirely different city and then demanding compensation from said city.

Overall Drexler's leadership was laughable, his rash decisions and overall attitude towards everybody outside of Los Angeles was dangerous not only to himself but to the whole city. This was all brought to a head when the Left Hand man of FrankMartin took a random shot at rofldog last night.

As a Los Angeles crewleader, I could not sit idly by and watch the leadership of Drexler run this city into the ground. I can assure you all that this decision was not taken lightly, and it saddened me greatly to make this choice. However this choice was for the greater good, by sacrificing a few I have saved the city from swallowing itself whole.

Rest in peace Drexler, and all those who died with him.

Los Angeles is banned from Chicago and has 2 hours to vacate my city.  Best of luck.

"Drexler has become even more reckless. Hiding mobsters whose bloodlines he had made promises not to take in"

This brings back memories...I remember my father killing an NY boss because she was banned from NY by Godfather TheDean, my father died for his actions even though I stand by them to have been the right thing to do...you too will one day fall for your actions, weather you believe them to be right or not.

You took down a Chicago auth, this isn't something that will just settle under the carpet over night.


"However this choice was for the greater good"

By greater good, you mean a power trip to see you owner of your own city?

Theres a few things here that i remember my Father telling me about.

"Hiding mobsters" - While i know this did happen, i also know my father loved his city more than putting everyone at risk, and immediatly recitfied this decision once he realised it would cause problems for the city.

"Drexler's second captain has caused nothing but trouble since he has been set up, from questioning to the point of insult a Right Hand from Las Vegas, and killing a Capo from an entirely different city and then demanding compensation from said city."
Well, where to start, i wont go into too much detail, but basically your lying here, twisting the trust to make your decisions seem worthy.

"Left Hand man of FrankMartin took a random shot at rofldog last night" - while true, i believe he took your advice in setting up that LHM.

"Overall Drexler's leadership was laughable" - he was a great Leader, a great man, my father would ahve wanted no-one else.

"However this choice was for the greater good" - Yes, well done, leaving LA with less than 15 real member is for the greater good.

I am deeply saddened to see so many lives lost today, my father loved everyone in his city and would die in order to save each of them.

Good luck in running a city.

Id love to know who assisted you as you neither have the gun to have taken the shot yourself nor the shooters in your crew and if your problem was with Drexler why were the rest of his crew mercilessly shot in their sleep?

How sad this really is. An amazing man with a heart of gold taken way to soon. To say Drexler didnt care about the city or that he wasnt concerned i would argue that clearly was not seen from any of us Associates.

Or to say that a man like Drexler was a laughable leader is to call out the man who first made drexler a leader.

Drexler trusted his people to the point of keeping them in the same position over and over again and the very thought of someone betraying a man like thats trust is just amazing.

Needless to say, Drexler has upset a lot of people around him. At the same time he cheered the days of many. Countless would have flocked to him and been there for him day in and day out.


However this choice was for the greater good, by sacrificing a few I have saved the city from swallowing itself whole. There is no greater line of complete shit then i have ever seen PERIOD.

I remember when leaders were killed from other families and the loyalists showed their faces to their fallen Godfather. The true hearted warriors will fight for Drexler.

Well, I’m impressed. It is difficult not to recognise and appreciate the almost flawless execution that was undertaken and the level of deception, deceit required to perform such a graceful coup d’état, especially seeing as this is the first opportunity your bloodline has had in a leadership position, quite remarkable indeed.  

I can well appreciate the strain one must have felt in coming to this decision, after all it was the deceased Godfather himself who presented you with opportunity, first with being designated the esteemed position of Right Hand and then further acknowledgement with bestowing upon you the honour of becoming a leader in your own right, some may point out this would be a sign of gratitude. This is not to say of course, you didn’t create these opportunities out of your own ethic, but rather to show that Drexler had complete faith in you to do what was necessary in all circumstances.  

The fact of the matter is, few can claim to know better the reasons on what transpired than yourself, far be it from me, outside Los Angeles, to question your motives other than on the reasons you kindly explained. Though no doubt speculation will continue to be rife in regards to your New York connections, they who aided you in the removal of an individual known to be unpopular within the Big Apple.  

We aren’t here to win popularity contests or exchange cookies, perhaps this’ll be a wake up call to those under the illusion that this is supposed to an environment where fun and games are supposed to thrive. This is yet further recognition that change, revolution, is achievable when those in positions of power simply aren’t perceived to be doing the required amount necessary to sustain. 

Show me a man with a heart of gold and I’ll cut it from him and sell it to the highest bidder. Always remember you’re here to be screwed, eventually with a little luck and ingenuity you might get the opportunity to screw someone else, nothing more.

" This was all brought to a head when the Left Hand man of FrankMartin took a random shot at rofldog last night. "

A Left Hand, you personally suggested, who I would put money on you KNEW would act a dick and cause more unwanted heat on LA, as previously stated, Well Done!

Congrats!

You turned LA into another ghost town.

Kudos,

All I'll say is, Drexler seemed like a perfectly good guy to me and I believe he was until the end, regardless of whether or not he was hiding people or not. Also, I find it hard to believe FrankMartin was causing trouble as you say.

This just goes to show you, you trully have to be careful who you set up as your RHM/LHM. Not everyone is cut out for it.

Frank was constantly drumming it into his people not to attack anyone or anger any of the other families...so id be interested to know exactly what trouble he caused

R.I.P to all those who fell

R.I.P. LA and everyone who has fallen

Yawns

Lol best of luck.

Simplicity shook her head in grave disappointment.

"I remember the day I was congratulating you along with the rest in LA. I'll kindly take my congratulations back and wish you the worst of luck. Which I'm sure you'll find out how bad your luck is now that you will be leading."

Shaking her head she walked off and made her way to Drexler's funeral to pay her respects.

I do not support actions from captain Foxxy. I dont know if Drexler lead his city towards good or towards bad but still he was your godfather. Shouldnt we all die if it is needed for our godfather and our crew leader becouse they are the one who gave us protection when we were just little thugs.

I really cant speak to much on this, but I will say that Drexler earned his position, and he brought you with him not to mention he gave you a place in the world that demands that power is used for the right reasons. You say these are the reasons he was taken down, because of your actions and I have no idea true or false other then what you said here today. From what I gathered because of your actions even if he did do these things you brought yourself down a level, I mean this is going against the godfather of your city.

You are where you are because of him, because he allowed it.

Shakes his head and leaves the crowd

i am astonished that you all act as if it is not common to rise to power in the mob by stabbing people in the back.

If anything, history tells us that its just as successfull if not more, that being loyal.

Lucky for me (and I AM lucky!) I do not aspire for greatness or power, so I fear not having to be in such a position.

A while back we watched a power move similar in st louis, but with the simple explanation Joey Cesari just wasn't here enough with the city suffering and people clapped and cheered with a minority of disenters.  Eventually this proved to be St louis's undoing, is only time i guess till we see how well this gamble pays off.

Many of us have heared the phrases regarding survival of the fittest, or power is taken not given.  The truth of the matter this is a rough world where you dont end with a bloodied nose; instead as a body in an alleyway or river and is consequences for actions, is knowing you have enough allies to keep the balance in your favour long enough to keep you breathing one day longer or the gift of the gab to persuade people was for the right reasons.

What a shit excuse for a CL.

What have you done for LA?  Having seen the inside of your HQ where the most 'active' thread is you and your RH spamming the local drug prices in order to get up your post count.  Joke.

Having kept quiet for so long she couldn't help but reply to Equil's ridiculious statement

Sir, I will have you know I have NEVER EVER  posted in the HQ Drug prices thread.  Perhaps you, like many others around here, should get your facts straight before you stand on this corner and make any bigger of a fool of yourself.  

And that's all I have to say about this matter for now.  

Sitting back and being so calm about the matter Absolut steps forward and clears his voice.

Now, before I speak I want you all to understand that this is merely a question as to how this was to be seen as it played out.

Taking a breath Absolut looks around.

We have seen countless leaders die because leaders under them have gone to another city to have them removed. Now being an LA matter I had zero intentions of voicing an opinion on the matter in the streets. That is until I heard a speech about the reason Drexler died, now it seems it's open to discussion otherwise it wouldn't have been brought to the streets.

When I look at what happened and listen to what is said by Foxxy I can't help but be baffled at the reasoning. If Drexler had upset so many leaders in so many cities why did they come to you and make it look like "Hey you can lead, we'll let you live but kill everyone else?"

On the other hand, maybe you did truly go to another leader to assist in the removal from your leader. However, why kill every other leader and numerous members of LA families? I mean, if you're so worried about the "city" then why kill everyone and leave yourself standing?

Unfortunately, both points I made stand valid at this moment in time or are in someway or another on people's minds. One being a power seize the other being you actually genuinely cared, but somehow didn't care enough about the city per-say but more an individual gain.

Taking a moment Absolut thinks about what he has said. Clearing his mind he get's back on topic.

I can understand protecting a city and removing the Godfather, but to have every leader killed as well as their families for the most part. It's hardily justifiable that you were looking out for the "city", but merely saw some sort of chance to take power for yourself. Which after all this lifestyle is about power. However it is also about loyalty, respect and omerta.

From what it would seem, loyalty is not one that was held to Drexler or for that matter the "city", so how are we to accept that this was actually necessary?

If Drexler was bad business he would have been removed, just like every other leader who ever has before. We all die, one day or another everyone will die. Although, going against what we're suppose to believe it only further pushes me into coming out here and voicing my opinion.

Pulling a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and a lighter Absolut places a cigarette between his lips. Taking a deep soothing breath Absolut feels the smoke fill his lungs.

If my honesty and bluntness has offended anyone here I will apologize, but I call it as I see it. Leaders are mean't to die by their Godfather, not by going behind ones back and seeking out personal gain in someway. I understand this is upsetting to hear of those parties involved, but how would you truly feel if your right hand man or leader under you did it to you? You thought they were loyal to death, but you find out differently.

Then you have the question of, "Okay, so would it not be Drexler's fault for authing someone he could not trust?", well that is a fair question, but this person obviously put something in his mind that they were capable of being loyal. Which we all see how many people want to prove themselves constantly, if this person ever was honest and capable of handling auth they'd know they intend to die by their leader. Not kill everyone in the city then say they were looking out for the "city".
