Laguna stepped in front of the crowd and pushed the hair out of his eyes. A loud CRACK made him duck his head. Things were finally popping off and Laguna knew what came next. The winners would paint the history books with their war speech, and Laguna was an absolutely nobody in Chicago, but he knew how these things went.

And damn it, Laguna missed real war speeches with actual meaning behind them.

“Exciting stuff, right?” Laguna smirked.

“Ladies and gentlemen, let me save you the boring ass speech you’ll receive from hand and…. What’s his rank?” Laguna asked one of the men next to him and he just shrugged. “Well, we don’t know his rank. We haven’t been paying that much attention.”

Laguna swiped the hair out of his eyes again. “But I’ll save you all from that and get down to the truth on why the city of Chicago had to die. Spike and fam will tell you something like this I’m sure…”

He clears his throat and hums.

“Some real confusing and vague backstory that involves cowboy butts and candy canes. Probably an uncomfortably horny undertone. Arrogance that reeks of garlic and cheese fries. And this ‘I’m too cool for school’ attitude that really is meant to chap some asses. Am I right?” Another smirk.

“THEN BOOM! Chicago had to die after that introduction. You know, their strongest gun wasn’t that strong at all. A city rebuilding from the last big war that didn’t have much room to go besides up with time. But them mother fuckers had people there we didn’t like and can’t let build a name for themselves. How DARE Bella tell me she is following the federal law and not head hunting her own crew. Well, we can’t have that. That disrespects the Spike AUTHORITI! Too many people there that can be a threat to us down the line, got to nip this now. Bella won’t fall into line and get with the program. We purge mother fuckers around here, but this time the city will have to go. Blah blah blah blah blah.” Laguna rolled his eyes.

“I mean, fair enough. Who really needs a fucking reason to kill someone around these parts? But I commend Bella for her virtue and commitment to not being a piece of shit. Bella didn’t ask questions and didn’t pressure me. Bella didn’t make me uncomfortable or treat me differently. She treated me normally, like any other member of her city. A blessing in disguise from the stalkerish behavior we see from some of the regime. That’s what I know about Bella and not the side the winners of the war will give you in all this.”

Laguna’s eyes darkened.  “But this is what happens you have a bunch of young hot-headed youths running around with their guns unholstered.”

He stepped forward from the city hall and held his chin.

“This country could use more Bella’s, honestly. Crewleaders willing to stand up and defend their members instead of offering them up the meat slaughter just because. No reason. Their name? Dead. They’re how old?? DEAD. This, in all honesty, is the cancer in our country. This is NOT the way, people. What happened to Chicago isn’t this, no. But Chicago had someone not bending their knee to the bullshit because they literally had nothing to lose. This war? Well, it’s not much of a war at all. Chicago was no threat, truth be told. But you either play with Spike’s balls… erm *cough*, my bad… You either play ball or you die.  And you better use a little tongue with that ball playing.” Another smirk from Laguna.

“I promise you, this will be better than anything you will be told from the winning side, because it’s actual facts and truth that can be disputed, but you’re actually not disputing it, you’re actually wrong. I’ve seen people asking other lately, what is our country about? What’s THE MAIN goal? Well, preservation and climbing to the top is a vert small piece of what this country is about. It’s about bonding, earning trust and giving trust. It’s about standing up for your members and earning their respect so that they won’t want to kill some pieces of shit later down the line. It’s about building something special for yourself, but you can do that if you’re part of the cancer that destroys it. It’s about having the balls to say no when someone asks you to purge your member without any proof of their crimes, and not just a hunch. That is the way this country should be.” Laguna nodded and gripped his fist.

“WE can be better. And we should be better than those who came before us, not worse. Have it in you to be a LEADER and be a symbol of what that actually looks like, because there’s so many leaders running around these parts, but hardly are worth a single fuck. No one to take the chance and risk their own life for the sake of progression, instead of regression. And that’s how they will be remembered, sadly.” He lowered his eyes to his shoes.

“But fuck it. Let’s continue to be toxic? Seems like a waste of the potential we could really build here. Do better.”

Laguna shakes his head. “That’s my simple message. Do better. Be better.”

It's fucking disgusting what this country has become. It's no wonder people have lost interest. A group of people are free to go beyond what nobody else could do and get away with.

I hope you're not including my good buddy and all round popular guy Space-to-the-pole in this.  He's as straight up as they come, hates Spike, would never join him.  Hell, he'd never suck up to him and take a Hand job off of him.  Unbelievable to even contemplate that he'd take auth....

Naaaaaaaaaah, not Spacey

Honestly, I came back to this announcement to read it in its entirety. It goes to show I did not have to read it at all to know why Chicago was taken out. That's how lame and cowardly this country has become. Don't believe me, but the numbers do not lie.  And the placeholder that was killed in NY the other day was obvious. Yes, we need Craven again as a CL. He's such a great leader. He purges upon request no questions asked. Then plays dumb. 

And Anti don't get me started on Spacey. As many times as he has been purged and stomped out of this country whining, he has it in his head he is better than all those who fended for him (not too many) over the years no matter how high the stakes were. What a disappointment he has become. He had no time to thank a crew member for a hefty donation, but he had time to tell Craven the c**t donated your fort cash.  I'd say you might be onto something Anti. 

Don't expect any of the powers that be to respond, else they will incriminate themselves. It's not like the God's turn a blind eye to bloodlining purging when their friends do it. Oh wait.

This world has become trash.

Contain your excitement folks! I am back! As always, I am spot on with my assessment of any given situation. And my bloodline has never been one to bend over and rarely wrong. Opinions are a dime a dozen. And I can easily admit the diary I hold death was warranted right wrong or indifferent. Because opinions can get you killed right? Even if the opinion is spot on. 

What we have going on now many have been shipped off for far less. And we were hopping with business and still no regard to that fact. What I suggest is to not join any of the crews and simply speak your mind if you feel the need to hang out.  Because this shit going on now is killing business in the weakest way possible. It is at its worst ever in history. 

There is a history of complaining about regimes over the years. We get it.  But never in history do we have 8 special squad members and three puppets and puppeteers who think they are part of the squad running business out of this country.

It's your call. It's your country too.
