What does it all have to do with endangering a whole city of yours like with plans to attack another city/cities if you are clearly forbidden to?

It wasn't a claim, it was a question adressed directly to you in relation to your previous claims...

ok I think enough said on this. it time let rest, and I don't think right from out side step in. if out families cant police them self in LA then there something wrong. And yes I was on Paul family and things got out hand. But RIP to my boss and my crew that fallen

Coming back by from hitting a local nightclub he seems a crewleader and some lowly mobster still bickering in the streets about earlier in the day removal of families.  Pulling the car over and stepping out to try and break this charade up he speaks up.

MrNiceGuy what's done is done, its quite humorous that this subject was spoken on another topic earlier.  About why Godfathers/CL's do not always post on a matter.  This is the shit right here, people never let the dead rest and always start whispers. Oh so and so has this plot out or this so and so did this.  Give it a damn rest your parents are dead, they are not coming back.  So either mourn them or don't, but trying to find out answers obviously does not always lead to the desired outcome.

Templar you did what was right and followed through with your actions soundly, while you did not have to give any reason for their removal you did.  And that was very noble of you, you do not have to argue with a mobster about your reasons.  Simply put he's kin of some fallen mafioso and is trying to get a rise out of you.

With that he pats both of them on the head and shakes his head, then gets back into his car and continues on his way to the airport.

But there will be more whispers if the subject is not spoken on, and those whispers will ring true to many due to the silence of the leaders. Thus, it's beneficial to the leaders to make an announcement regarding a takedown. Of course there will be people who challenge it, but that's only an annoyance (sometimes). And if they can't counter the arguments given by the kin of the fallen, was the takedown truly justified? 

Secondly, freeatlast

I mugged my CL as his RH, he demoted me to thug, not understanding the internal humor

I think you failed to understand the severity of your action. Perhaps you saw some humor in it, but your leader saw messed up flights etc. Thus, maybe demoting you to thug was a bit Draconian, but still.

@Afgan-Mango, it was still a competition in the beginning, seeing as most of the people going there were openly competing (and killing) each other. Now it's not so much of a competition anymore, I guess, as they seem to be working together.

the act of competing; rivalry for supremacy, a prize, etc.

a contest for some prize, honor, or advantage:

Scott-Weiland hearing the arguments that are being made, and perhaps being a little influenced by the sweet nectar of the drink, joins the crowded mass.

While I do agree that the members of Los Angeles were competing, the fact remains that, as said by Godfather - Chairman Curtis himself;

This is NOT a competition! There are no prizes and nothing to be won. There will be no comparisons, score keeping, finishing line or anything of the sort

I feel that the above statement should speak for itself, and makes itself quite clear. 

Now. For the take down itself. I feel that this should be reiterated from the original rules statement;

• The rules of the city will only be those implemented and enforced by the crew or crews in power at the time. As regimes change so will the rules they wish to enforce.

 

• The external community will not be interfered with in any way. Any attack on a member or crew from the other cities will result in full scale retribution from the offended crew and (if they so chose) their district and possibly even the rest of the community. Retribution will only be dealt to the crew that perpetrated the transgression. No other crews in Los Angeles will be affected. 

I have full belief that Templar made the right move. If he felt that the above rule was to be violated, then he did what needed to be done. If he felt that rules were being violated that he set in place, then he did what needed to be done. 

For that matter, it's the Wild West. He didn't owe any kind of explanation, but offered one anyway.  If he removed them just to remove them, so what? They knew what they were getting into, as the rules clearly explain. Case closed.

Congratulations Templar, for doing what needed to be done. I look forward to seeing you and the rest of the leaders of Los Angeles flourish in the City of Angels.

While I'm absolutely certain she had nothing to do with any scheming, wrong place at the wrong time I suppose, it's nice to know why my kin was taken out. Thank you.

wrong place at the wrong time I suppose

You said it all right. Don't worry shit happens, and dying is never wothless. Coz they will be always somebody watching all of us from above... If you kin was invited to be part of this world of ours, intentions were pure, like save your kin's innocent soul. Shouldn't your ex-CL had made your ancestor made when it wasn't time yet, your ancestor would be still alive. That much explanation from me...

I wish people didn't say that it was based on your rank. So many times we have seen high ranks saved during wars and low ranks shot during take out. It really is the luck of the draw. However, being Made definitely increases the chances since you really should be going out with your leader. Something to do with loyalty.

It is, most of the time, based on rank though. Although I agree that a good number of people both under made and above have been ''saved'' during recent wars / takedowns.

I agree but you can`t determined how much  interaction or involvement a person has in their crew. So all you got to go on is rank.
