Life’s True Story

When i was 18 I met a what I thought was a really nice guy.. He was a Friend

of my brothers.. I knew he was in a gang but his personality didn’t match

cheated on me nothing like that he was really good to me..  We talked and

chilled for a long time before we hooked up.. Well we hooked up and things

started to get serious.. He had done some robberies and and mugged people

broke into houses and stuff just so we could survive.. He wouldn’t allow me

to work. I never knew why untill the day he was murdered.. He always told me

he wouldn’t have his girl working he was going to support her.. So in 1999

when we got married and had our son.. I still didn’t work but we lived a

comfortable life..  I was no part of a gang, never joined one, never claimed

to be in one.. Well in the summer of 2000 my husband robbed a house in a

rival gangs territory.. they came after him shot him and our house up.. He

survived through it.. I loved him and until that point we were never faced

with danger.. Well in the winter of 2000 he decided to lay low and be an

active member anymore.. this was to protect our son and myself.. well that

lasted for a short time.. In February of this year my husband was shot and

killed because he didn’t die the first time the rival gang shot him… My

husband was a good man.. Yes he was in a gang, but he never physically hurt

anyone and he provided for us very well.  Not only did that rival gang have

it out for him but they now have it out for my son and myself.  My son is

almost 2 years old and never done anything to anyone why should he die.. I

will tell you why these people want him dead.. They want him dead because of

his father..  As I mentioned my husband would not allow me to work.. I now

know that is was for my safety cause every one knew we were married. So they

would go after me just as fast as they would him..

So all in all gangs hurt every one.. even those who don’t belong to one. My

son now has to grow up without his father cause of bad choices that were

made.. It’s not fair to me or my son.  I just wish all you want to be gang

bangers and and those who know people who are in gangs knew how much it

effects every one..  And gangs are not just in big cities cause I live in a

fairly small town that is run by gang members.. And gang members can’t always

be identified by their clothing anymore either… Please take a moment to

think before you do anything stupid..
