swalinny walk up to the person shooting and shakes her head.

you have every right to say what you want about someone you dislike. we live in a cummunity where that is possible. However it is very immature of you to do this in such a way. I do not know what midnight has done to you and i don't care. I respect midnight, but also your oppinion. i will not judge you and start screaming at you for what you have said. all that i am saying is that in the future you could maybe consider doing it in a respectful way or in person. no-one here is interested in your hate towards her seeing no-one knows who you are. tis moment you are kind of making a fool of yourself going against a crew leader.

swalinny nods and walks away.

So let me get this straight, you didn't earn your boss a single dollar in the time you were under her and now you here in the streets to complain to anyone that you think will give a damn?.....I think you'll find no one does.

When you join up with a family they are your boss, if you don't do right by them, they have every right to see you swimming with the dishes.  This isn't daycare, learn to swim.

*swimming with the fishes...pardon me for mis-speaking, must be the chilly air today making me miss a consonant or two.

If life is so bad in LA with midnight, wouldn't we see more salt floating around? Everyone has a tale to tell, I'm not dismissing you in anyway I've dealt with people that you describe previously and it's safe to say that midnight isn't the first one (by your description) to "sleep" and expect her members to earn. I could see where you would be coming from if you were a top earner but at this point you were almost a squatter in a hotel by your own definition, to which you paid no dues and got mad that the owner of the establishment came knocking for them

Listening to the remarks of this new guy to the streets, talking like he has some remarkable knowledge of another person life Gabriel decides to join in the discussion.

"I can see you are upset with what has happened to a possible relative or yours? but as others have said, if you don't put in the work yourself then you cant expect to be handfed and looked after your entire life. As for Midnight being given notifications on how poorly her family is doing and good luck staying in Favour! I find that very hard to believe as I think you will find that she is very much in Favour as not only has she been granted the larger 20 man crew but she has also been give the nod to increase her BG protection. So I think she is very much in Favour"

"Please move on and find some something positive to do now that you have a new fresh life"

I'd like to focus on the important issue here, which many appear to be ignoring. 

How you ever attain this is beyond me since you can't be awake for more than a few hours before you are bitching to everyone that someone is picking on you or making fun of you.

I'm greatly concerned that someone is trying to muscle in on The Potato's racket. We like to be the ones hurling the abuse, doing the picking and making of the fun. Which delinquent ne'er-do-well is trying to move in on my turf?

As for all of the other allegations, they're normally the type of thing that would come with some form of proof?

Transcripts of coffee room conversations, copies of mails... anything that was something other than the word of someone new to our shores and yet to establish any type of trust in this thing of ours that can, and most commonly will, be instantly discarded.

If there's truth to the allegations I imagine we'll see it displayed fairly clearly in the decisions made by the family members in question. Nobody likes to be spoken down to and stripped of respect. There have been no external signs of it to date, however, so speaking for the majority of the masses who's main interest here will be on how any of this impacts on our business dealings I'll offer up a quick "So what?". 

If your the voice of many member why don't they rebel? Surely this will be the best way as proof that they are unhappy where they are. When the captain of the ship is asleep one cannot dismiss a mutiny. If they want to show she is a poor leader the best step is to step out, step into a leadership role and outshine her! You can't just bitch and moan from the shadows and complain no one is doing nothing. If they picked you as a voice for them then why don't you would come to these shores work hard and grind into power or at least have those who chose you also choose a person to go into a leadership position and show us what you claim midnight is holding people back from achieveing

It was late in the day, and CS went for her daily walk to the streets. Sadly, all she heard was a bunch of complaints about one of her friends.

"So, what you are saying is... that Midnight is not contributing anything to this community at all? That she has not done a single thing to gain favour and get her 20 man HQ? Is that what you are saying?

Last time I checked, we had to actually do something in order to expand our crews. If she had failed her operation completely, we would most likely not see her in this position. I am not one to judge though.

You are also saying that you are a voice of many members. Have you spoken with many of them personally? Have they not thought of being transferred? You know, as it looks right now each associate can move freely. Don't you think people would have moved if they didn't like Midnight's leadership?"

Evelyn is walking down the streets when she hears a mass of people going back and fourth. There is one person yammering about something, it wasn't until she got a bit closer that she understood the point he was trying to get across.

"Ok, so your kin was unhappy with their crew. It's not the first time someone has ever been unhappy with where they landed. Though what do you expect, if you are a shit member your crew leader isn't going to put the extra effort into you. No earnings and your kin probably bitched and complained, not surprised they are on the bottom of the ocean right now."

"That being said though, there are guidelines in place at the moment where if you are a wise guy or below you have the option to seek other employment. So if you were that unhappy prior to catching a bullet you should have looking for some where else to go. This has nothing to do with leadership, your kin could have put themselves in a better position."

"Now you coming out here bitching to high heavens makes you sound like the incompetent one."

Evelyn looks through the crowd, trying to find the source who started this. Glancing down on the ground she notices they are laying on the cold cement with a self inflicted bullet hole in their head.

"Figures...."

First of all like mentioned before everyone has the liberty of speech in this thing of ours however that doesn't mean to abuse it. There have been endless cases when this liberty has cost them their life so when adressing to crew leaders, no matter how you have been treated or what your personal opinion is on them, treat them with respect. You are adressing the streets and going on affected by personal emotion will do you no good.

Secondly i dont want to be the guy who points this out but seems like your father was only using the crew as a shield. There must be paybacks to whatever good thing happens and he seemed to fail on that. You mentioned this earlier:

"I'm not going to be able to put much time and effort into the family you are failing at starting and running, and then you accept it as okay and allow them in. You don't then turn around and tell them it's not okay that they don't pay taxes that they don't even owe since they havent made a fucking dollar"

I've had members in Valhalla come to me with the same thing but your father was contradicting himself over there buddy. Theres a big, no let me rephrase it huge difference between 'much work' and 'not at all'. By what you've said seems like your father had not done any crimes (since they havent made a fucking dollar) at all and was not cut out for this line of work and hopefully you will do better by surpassing him.

Now about the freedom of move. It was lately discussed that associates have the freedom to move to any crew they see will fit their style of life with some sort of payment which was up to the leader to demand. In your case you were lucky thay Midnight offered free movements in order to please her members. So anyone has the chance to try elsewhere and not bitch about their current crew. 

Moving on, you said that she had done little work in her family but on our side it looks like she is doing a hell of a job over there and facts speak for themselves and you may go against them as many times as you like and it wouldn't chanhe anything but your anger levels.

So to conclude this there happens to be another discussion on the other street that TsuDhoNimh is holding and is completely relevant to your case. I suggest you leave your anger aside, listen a bit more, donate to the weekly paper and you will be doing great!

(P.S - I advertised you Tsu so i demand 2% of the paper profits :p)

Gunnz walks up and listens and is not happy with what he hears.

My Kin has known Midnight and her past Kin for years and from what you're saying you do not know much.

Just the other day her and I talked about some of the stuff you brought up and she is all for her members moving up and doing better things. So please don't sit here and try to drag someone name through the mud cause you mad.

Gunnz lights up his cigar and walks away

Luna walked up to the group of people that had gathered, just as the young man who had started the speech stole another man's gun, put it to his head and pulled the trigger. Her eyes widened as she watched him fall to the ground, and she looked around at everyone else to gauge their reactions.

She held her breath for a moment before releasing it in a rush and saying, "Well that was just a tad dramatic I think.. But anyways.. In case anyone here actually has their doubts about Midnight now because of this twit that decided to run his mouth, I can put them at ease.."

She looked around at everyone and continued, "I worked for Midnight for awhile before I took on my own operations.. And I can assure you that she is just trying to do her best. She talks to me everyday, we discuss things together as friends, give each other advice.. She had her worries for awhile but she no longer does and I know how much she loves her crew members and loves being a leader. She's doing all she can to keep her members active, happy, protected.. I love that she gives her members rewards, has incentives to bring people in, talks with everyone, gets their opinions on how things are going.. She's came up with some really great ideas for her crew! And it sucks that she was stuck with a shit member that didn't care to stick around, who's kin came back to pass judgment against her. Midnight, keep doing what you're doing. You're a great friend, a great crew leader. Let this roll off your back, as I'm sure you've done already, and just keep up the good work! If my grandmother were still around, she could attest to how hard you worked for her.. And she was happy to call you a friend, as was my mother, and I'm glad I can call you a friend as well! So.. I think we can all move along now!

There's a few reasons why this is ridiculous, but I'll try to keep it short and unsweet.

If you're constantly being asked for information or just a response in general and you're too lazy to bother with responding to your leader, you can be sure as shit you'll get the chop. No matter how much time you've stated you can commit to this lifestyle, if you're showing that level of disrespect then you're more use as a notch to the gun than to bother keeping you around.

By the sounds of what you're saying, your father wasn't happy within the crew. If that was the case he could have switched crews as per the Associate Movement that was announced some time ago, that way he could have moved and been completely useless elsewhere. Fortunately, he stuck it out where he was and received a double bullet burrito for being shite. Well done Midnight.

I'm not sure what level of commitment your father expected from Midnight but why would she keep you around? You literally offered nothing to the crew and have admitted this through the drivel you have spouted here today, further to this, I'm not sure why you stand here trying to drag Midnight's name through the mud when your father did absolutely nothing. He served no purpose by being alive, so I'm not sure why you're so bitter or why you expected him to be kept safe. He wasn't some kind or ornament or item to be preserved, he was a member of the mob and a poor one at that.

The deed is done, move on. It's embarrassing to be coming out here and trying to bash a crew leader who did something any other leader would have done.

Bjorn decided to take a walk, he reaches within his front right pant leg taking out a cigarette. He shifts his gaze upon the crowd, and the shouting voices. With interest he kicks his legs into motion proceeding over. He stands quietly listening and taking in all statements before conjuring up his own.

Plain and simple, if your father didn't approve of his placement, he was more then capable of moving to another crew. If he was un-aware of that, then unfortunately that's his problem. If your father had an issue with Midnight, again he should've chosen to be employed elsewhere. She's the Boss, that's just the way the cookie crumbles. Like others have said, it's rather embarrassing to bring such a topic up in which everyone should be completely aware of. My kin, and Midnight's go back. She's a solid person, all of which you state deems un-legitimized.

With that being said, plot your career instead of reminiscing on his.
