It's unfortunate that so many innocent people were killed by the mistake's of others.  But I completely support the decisions of Godfather Premier and Godfather Roman.

The first incident I will cite is when Bettino_Casimiro, the former right hand man to Mr.Gadget, and TheGreenFairy, took to public insults, laughing at a tragedy that struck my city, saying they were glad it happened to New York.

I'd like to get some information here correct, my grandfather never found a laugh in anyone's misery, never commented on the incident that happened in New York back then as he was away on business at the time it occurred.

I am sure the reason he died, was a vent on our IRC coffee shops when people were debating about some stuff said on IRC can be excluded from our business or not affect it. He simply replied things doesn't work that way, If you offended a big guy you'd get killed for it. I'd quote him when he said " For example, If you offend Premeir, you simply die, whether it was a joke or not".

Please No need to demise my father's picture. It has nothing to do with your take down. Congratulations anyway, well done and put. Once again you prove yourself as an honest and a powerful Godfather.

Wow - just wow. All the innocents that had to die because 3 or 4 (and most of them already dead) members stirred the shitpot. Detroit spared lives alongside it's allies since day 1, but in the end fall from a city viewed as "friendly" 

Non-made members lost their life as well too? 

A strong reminder of how you should always chose your words wisely. The actions of the few can effect the lives of many. RIP to the fallen.

I guess you're right TheBigEasy - especially when those few are so high in the food chain of a city.   RIP all

LoveGun looks over at Hickey.

Really? That again? Your father be dead, let the dead sleep. You be got a new life full of opportunities right in front of ya kid, but ya be flushin' them all down the drain by comin' out here and complainin' 'bout things. If ya be havin' any confidence in ye Godfather ya wouldn't be so self conscious about what I be talkin' 'bout.

LoveGun moves on to the point of this speech, annoyed, that yet again Hickey could not look past himself and his views and take in consideration of the main point of speeches.

Detroit was diseased. But me Godfather took it upon himself and tried t' help the city and be patient with it. One can only be puttin' up with so much. And for how much he did be puttin' up with makes him a great man.

Rest well t' those who fell today and may their children learn from all the mistakes the city made and grow up in th' world as stronger people.

LoveGun can ya just fuck off like.

Clearly I was in the right if you yourself mailed me saying that you were talking about my Godfather. People with more power obviously make a big deal out of things just to make the weaker back down.

I think if it was the other way around it would have been a lot different.

Strong people aren't responsible for the weak being weak. It's their character, their drive, their brains that make them weak. Their lack of determination and commitment keeps them that way. Intimidation isn't cheap or immoral. It's simply efficient.

And, of course, LoveGun is right. If you have stellar self-esteem, you don't overhear a comment about "that goofy looking idiot" and immediately assume they mean you.

If you think they're calling you ugly, it's probably because you're ugly.

All shes saying is for me to get over it but clearly it was more disrespectful of her to point fingers at such people as a Godfather and you cant deny that.

Alright, beyond the semantics of defining "pointing the finger", I'll just ask this:

What did your old man do about it? Besides dragging on for hours in a pointless vaudevillian argument with a Godfather?

What are you doing about it now?

I suggest you stop trying to sow your seeds in the salted earth and, yes, get over it.

I am over it.

I can do nothing about it. I dont have a good enough gun. And the sad thing about it is that nobody has enough fire power to do anything about it.

Nobody will ever be able to take down NY or CH and thats the truth.

The only thing I could do in the situation was back down. What else could I have done?

Well, you certainly sound like you've weathered this well, offloaded the burden, and come back to center as an optimistic and well-adjusted young man.

I'm sure you'll go far, and I wish you luck in all of your future endeavors.

Again, sorry for your loss.

Thank you kindly

_Hickey, I am Emerald's daughter. She was in no position to have the right to deal with your father but I can guarantee if she had been, he would have been dead long before this, I see you have not learned from your father's mistakes and that saddens me. As Emerald's daughter, I would like to express to any remaining members of her family that she loved you all well along with many many people in Detroit, in particular her Godfather and his family. I know she would also hope that descendants of any of her dead members will not act in anyway to shame her or their family's memory. What is done, is done, it was a righteous decision well within the ways of our world. Thank you all for listening, I have many funerals to attend.

Are you serious? I stood up when a CL talked about the Godfather. How is a bad thing?

After Premier told Hickey to stop asking questions, he should have stopped. Not take it upon himself to bicker with somebody who outranked him. It wasn't his battle to fight. That's the lesson that needs to be learned.

No Prem knew that LoveGun fucked talking about Gadget. But I think your right. Lets say nothing and let the higher ranks say whatever they want.

I don't feel like bickering about that in the streets will resolve anything. You want your voice to be heard? Then do something about it besides running your mouth about the past as a thug in this thing of ours. You say your gun isn't strong enough. Well then just train it.

On a much more respectable area on the topic, rest in peace to all of the fallen.  It's always difficult making the decision to go to war, especially when those involved are close friends.

I really don't think that's the case. I really don't think my Godfather feels badly about LoveGun's speech. Not at all. We could all read between the lines, no bickering was necessary to prove that point. You tried to defend your city's honor, but you went the wrong way about it. Once you realize you are repeating yourself, you should know that the argument is going nowhere...

Alright lads, here look we just forget about it altogether. Rest in Peace DET
