| Tapped Out In Vegas | Started by: Lucrezia on Apr 02, '16 17:29 |
|
The shots rang through Vegas a city that was known for the gambling partying and prostitutes had a dark underground that had been awoken in the middle of the dessert lay the bodies of a select few known Las Vegas mobsters. The news quickly flew city to city about the murders everyone looked for answers. Later that day Lady Lucrezia took to the streets followed by a few of her trusted bodyguards the crowd gathered as her speech began. As you can see today Las Vegas has lost a few of those high up in the chain of command. I come here to give the reasons so their kin can rest knowing why their parents died. When it comes to Don handlebarz simply the heads across each city did not trust him and simply he was a man we did not want to work with as we grow across this great country , I hope he rests well this was nothing personal just strictly business. Now may his kin sleep soundly knowing it was purely a move of common interest. Lucrezia stepped from the streets and let her words sink in with the crowd |

These are serious issue that we face in our world, its not a thing to take lightly or to have a facetious tone towards it. Real issues, facing real people. These epidemics and out breaks happen all the time, sometimes its horrendous luck, just like the bus other times, like the "Flu issue" we did this would a great service; imagine a flu outbreak of that magnitude across all our fair cities, it would be catastrophic. so for that, you're welcome. |

I agree on that. Seems when certain bloodlines happen to be around these " crazy things " happen when in all the ages they never have. Must be some weird science shit going on since its new around here lately. We are in a odd state in this "new world". I better run to get my shots and make sure I have life insurance. |

Not sure how it can be said in one hand that no one wanted to work with him and then in the other say it wasn't personal? It was personal 100%. What affect did he have to the business in any city? Oh.. none. So, purely personal then. That coupled with the fact the majority of leaders in Vegas claimed to have no knowledge prior to his removal, kinda ruins the recent Vegas is its own city mantra. But hey, who cares eh. I'm sure he was such a terrible leader that he wasn't once attacked during the Vegas contest but died immediately after due to business reasons. |

RIP handlebarz and family... whoever you all may be... Tyrion is right, you can't say we got rid of you because basically we don't like you or trust you. Then say it's not personal. That is the definition of something being personal in my eyes. If someone told me they killed me because they don't trust or like me, I would take that personal. In fact, my long lost ancestors were in the same position as the fallen handlebarz currently is and several generations of my fallen ancestors took vengeance against the people and factions who killed him. I will say vengeance and revenge is sweet in the moment, but it can eat up your soul. The blood and tarnish it can bring to your family name can last generations and even outcast you. Then the only jobs and roles you can easily acquire are that of the town drunk at best. It can ruin the innocence of this world and make it very harsh and unforgiving. Some say blood shall have blood, others say blood shall not have blood. Some would say you are more resilient than most for being able to handle a situation without seeking revenge. Others would say you are weak and a coward for not standing up for yourself. Is the sins of the father or mother ever truly washed away by a new beginning and new life? Or does the diary of our ancestors past we keep with us always there to sway not only how we see this world but also how the people in this world see you? |

I dare say that those in power can say whatever they want, and do what they want when it comes to a take down or a war. Its irrelevant really if its legit, if it pisses people off or if its utter bullshit or if it doesn't make sense. That's just the point, they can play it however they see fit, just like you have the freedom to listen and to give your thoughts. Rightly or wrongly, this is just the way it works and it should be the way it works, if I agree or disagree to this is utterly irrelevant. At some point in time we all have to answer for our actions, tis the nature of the beast. But if im currently in power and I want to come out here and say; "I killed you all because you looked at my dog like a bit of meat" then I will and I can. Weather that's excepted or not, it doesn't really matter because I simply CAN. It can be all kinda' hypocrisy but those are the reasons, I am in power. If that draws unwanted attention, then it does, but it still doesn't take away from the fact that, im in power and if I want to make up anything to justify it, I can. |

You are absolutely correct Insta. I'm not complaining about the reasons, on the contrary I don't care as despite my previous words I have never had any interaction with the deceased nor do I have any idea of how good,or bad, his leadership was. My issue is purely with the fact that giving a reason as being business only in the same breath as saying you shot them for personal reasons, it's just plain stupid and makes all involved seem that way. Given PH/CH/DT were all involved it strikes me a little odd that the reasons were personal given those that worked closely with the deceased didn't take up arms before now or even alongside the recent aggressors. So whilst I do agree the victor can spin their story however they like, whether that's the plague or something else that fits with their persona it doesn't really matter, I still have to voice my surprise when the reasons shared are contradictory by the mouth of the same person giving them. It leaves people like myself to question the true reason; which again is actually a good thing imo. For me, if it was a business decision then I would say that handlebarz had worked hard enough to earn the right to call himself a Godfather and had also recently tried to challenge the current Vegas Godfather to take his crown, but he was laughed out of the room as being too young for the position. As we all know, you need to be a grand old age for that right. So I guess as was alluded to when it said city heads didn't want to work with him, the real reason was that rather than wait for him to be old enough to take the role then kill him, the decision was made to kill him and those made+ now to prevent further blood shed down the line. To me, that would come across to the community far better and not leave those involved open to question. But that's just my view. I wasn't involved nor did I know the man or his crew, so I guess it's all academic really. |

| I understand that people want to be creative when they come out to the masses and attempt to give reasoning behind a families death and I will say again that those in power can say and do practically whatever the hell that they want. However, with the flu outbreak and bus crash who are we going to believe? Our eyes that show us bodies littered with bullet holes and the coroner saying they were gunned down? Or the aggressors that say it was just a very unfortunate disaster? It didn't surprise me one bit when they started dropping soon after they were handed over the keys to the city officially, but it did strike me as odd that the attack came from outside the city. From the outside looking in I don't think you can fairly use the words we didn't want to work with him and trust him because it seems there were plenty of leaders in and out of Las Vegas that did trust him and enjoyed working with him and his family. | |

MDMA stepped out of the shadows...covered in blood...stumbling...he took a swig from his flask and wreaked of whiskey...he'd just finished burying his father.. I take nothing personal. At the end of the day, my father was just the victim of a crime inspired from fear. I believe people are afraid of what they do not know, and I cannot blame them for that. He earned his position and led a family of youthful and motivated gangsters..some might say the best in Vegas. But like I said, at the end of the day, it really means nothing since the only hope of actual progress is now gone and I will try my best to do my father proud. Eliminating a threat to your existence and power isn't a bad thing...but killing young, motivated, and aspiring gangsters that are not even made men? THAT, is a bad...DISGUSTING fucking thing to do. I don't care if you pulled the trigger on my father...but if you pulled the trigger on someone who wasn't even made...and was wearing the tag of my father's family when there was a "protection order" on these innocent men and women...words cannot describe the kind of shit that you are. You should be ashamed of yourselves. That is all. And remember...stay classy. MDMA took a swig of his flash and returned to the shadows. |

Insane steps into another episode of as the world turns. At lest it was not about a bus on fire, coffee shop meeting or some trumped up false logs. But nevertheless, it reeks of bullshit by the same old stale lineage that is driven by fear and fear alone.
Tips my hat to MDMA |

Rosie left her hiding place behind the crowd and searched for the drunk man with dirt under his fingernails. She was so surprised to hear his speech that she let him slip into the shadows before her wits came back to her. Her mother said his father was always a good lurker, and wondered if that was a hereditary trait. But she followed her nose behind a dumpster and found him there, still trying to drink out of an empty flask. Her eyes watering from the stench of drying blood and cheap whiskey, she pulled his arm around her shoulders and slowly dragged him to a diner to find some coffee. Finally seated in a booth, she flagged a waitress and ordered him a full breakfast and lots of coffee for both of them. She took her handkerchief and wiped off his face, and put the warm coffee mug in his hands. You don't know me, but I, too, just buried my beloved mother. Your father was kind to her, and she gave him loyalty and hard work in return. I know they all had great dreams for the future, something new immigrants don't always get a chance to work towards. Your Da gave new blood and hungry thugs work and a fair shake. Their kin won't forget that. I know the future seems bleak, but I have no desire to go back to the factories and tenements of New York and live in squalor. I will remember what your father did, and always keep that glimmer of hope in my heart. Rosie wiped his nose again, wondering if the fact that his eyes where rolling back in his head meant he hadn't heard a word of her story. She sipped her coffee, and wrote a little note on a napkin and placed a single chocolate egg on top of it. "Never forget the Eazy Dayz of Sunshine and the Queen of the Noobs." The waitress came back, and after asking if they needed anything else, left a check. Watching as she disappeared back to the kitchen, Rosie gasped, remembering that she didn't have one penny to her name thanks to the funeral expenses. She propped MDMA up carefully, hoping he would drink some coffee at least before they called the cops, and sped off to the back door and was once again lost in the streets, a nameless nobody with big dreams. |
