Good evening ladies and gentleman,

Not everything we hear through the grape vine should be taken as de facto. However when words are spoken which put the lives of myself and crew in danger, I pay attention.

In the past week, this is just what has happened and as a result, La Casa Dei Misteri and upper structure have been killed.

Over the course of our brief time in Las Vegas, we have made an honest effort to cooperate with the other crews and tried to divide the cities responsibilities appropriately.

From the beginning we believed that we could accomplish more if we worked together and we shared these views with the others.

Let me be clear that we were weary of the information given to us, that today we did not act on words alone and that proper due diligence was done.

We did what we could to hold off on war, but we believed with Mystery and co. taking pro shots the day before and sending out mass mails, that a confrontation was imminent.

There was nothing to be gained from this war as we knew the chance of him taking us down were slim, however we did not feel comfortable waiting to be struck first.

Rather we feel our hand was forced. Wars cost money, lives and brings debt. Indeed, if this war could of been avoided, it would have.

Best regards.

Lites a joint and raises it toward Kerrrupt

This ones for you man. Thanks for explaining the details. Guess he had it coming.

Marley laughs and heads up the alley

"Wars cost money, lives and brings debt."

They do. They also bring power, security and wealth in the long term.

People will no doubt walk out here and moan. I have already seen it happen in the coffee shops. None of it will matter. You moved to protect your family and did so. You are now more powerful and likely to have less of a threat upon your life. That should be the aim of everyone. Shouldn't it?

Another one of the Las Vegas four falls to the hand of Kerrrupt. I ask myself why these people who have been given opportunities that they desired would screw up in such a fashion that it could have easily been prevented with what I like to call "a bit of common sense". It's just a relief that two of the four CLs have had the common sense to make it thus far. If you can't trust the fellow crew leaders in your city to hold it together and not fuck up, then all you can do is look after your own and make sure that your family don't follow in their footsteps. The explanation is appreciated Kerrrupt, and I don't think anyone should be passing judgement on the events that transpired.

Having said that, I highly doubt that you would have taken war against a fellow Las Vegas crewleader lightly so I find it hard to believe that you would have gone to war with any of them unless your hand was forced, as you stated.

The walls have ears and decisions have consequences.

Another classic example of trust being placed in a complete idiot and then, inevitably, the complete idiot doing something stupid.

This is a sad day in the city of Las Vegas. Blood has been shed for reasons which where just, though we wish they where not nesecarry. Las Vegas will move on past this time and seek peace and properity for all citizens of this great city.

Once again tough decisions must be made on the part of the Las Vegas management.  This is never an easy decision and as well as I know Don Kerrrupt, I am sure this was not a rash decision.  I wish nothing but the best for the families left and for Las Vegas as a whole.

This way of life is never easy.Nor is the decisions that come with.And I am sure everyone appreciates the reasoning speech after LV is doing well.Hopefully Mistakes have been learned from.

Right, because you know, we all know how valid chit chat in coffee shops can be. God forbid you know, someone maybe lies about what they overheard. I guess we should all be so weary er wary and just take everything we hear or overhear in a coffee shop as the God's truth.

*Claps*

Exactly what would you have them do Bianca?   Sit back and wait for a first assault or just sit back and hope that nothing happens?

I agree with this decision although I am new, it doesn't take a fool to realise what was to come of the city of Las Vegas. Kerrrupt made the right choice. Though the deaths are regretable a don must protect his family at all costs.

Family comes first and foremost and any threat whether slight or full on has to be dealt with in the appropriate manner and to be honest if i were in Kerrrupts position i would have done excactly the same thing.

Bianca:

Being a Made member, Clipper had access to my upper family room, where many things have been discussed, not all of which can be taken word for word from their context, and none of which he had permission to pass on.

This is taken from the original mail sent to every leader by Mystery.

To me, this doesn't say 'he's lying guys, ignore him like the idiot we know him to be' it says 'yeah I said that, but you know I totally didn't mean it in that way. Honest.'

Whilst he went on to say his LHM was lying, why include this at all if there was no element of truth in what was being passed on?

This isn't merely someone jumping to conclusions; there is practically an admission of guilt. Either a poorly worded mass mail or poorly spoken coffeeshop discussion handed Kerrrupt the ammunition he needed to justifiably remove Mystery. Spare us the 'oh you can't use IRC as a reason' bullshit which you're alluding to, when 'I didn't like him' would have been sufficient.

~G~warble.

While I do agree with the logic behind this take down of La Casa Dei Misteri. I am also saddened that a lot of my friends have fallen due to this.However, In our world business comes first, so,I guess Don Kerrupt was justified a 100%.

Now there are only two Families left from the original four.What is going to happen now,I wonder?

who are we talking about here?

One way or another people in my mind should always be looking forward in the best way possible, and your city should back you one hundred percent. It’s a shame when you hear that your neighbors of the same city are planning against you, I am sure in this position it would truly strike home, and would defiantly bring great disappointment.

But never the less you gotta do what ever it takes to protect your own, which is not always a pretty nor enjoyable as seen here. But when backed into a corner with next to no options but to fight, expect the un expected.

Im sorry to see this happen, but when it comes to war someone always has to come out on top once you cross that line there is no turning back.

I agree with you Kerrupt, yet I also see this as a warning to those sharing vitall information with everyone in there crew which is a trully stupid thing to do.

The Code of Omerta was Broken in Las Vegas. Which led to a city being destroyed war was bound to happen any ways.

For all those who in the  future would like to suprise and war another in there city be sure to not report this information to a betraying LHM or who ever warned them.

Yet would should I say I am just a passding by-stander I have not the slitest idea who would share vital information even if the crew they reported it to was in there city A shame.

correct me if I'm wrong but did i just hear that clipper was mystery's LHM?

if that is true, then Mr prodigy_Jr. your point, while not invalid under normal circumstances, has no bearing here. RHMs and LHMs of necessity need to know what is going on in there family. f the LHM discloses information, then omerta has been broken and it is the LHMs fault for breaking it and the CLs mistake for trusting that person.

In the end the reasons for this war dont really matter. What matters is that someone killed someone for whatever reasons they may have been, Unless it directly affects you I would keep out of it.

And for all of those returning to these shores with tales of how their father was "Wrongly Shot" and the such. Grow some fucking Balls, Shut your mouth and do something about it. Maybe not today, maybe not a Month from now, but do something.

Actions speak alot louder than words.

Mr. beast i could not have said it better myself.
