Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What the fuck were you thinking coming here, Tanya?" he hissed at her. Tanya was fighting back the tears. "Look, Bishop, I really didn't want to come but I can't raise him knowing that his father is capable of taking care of him but won't because he's afraid to lose his woman. Quinton is your son, Bishop. I didn't make him by myself. How can you just go from telling me I was the most special thing in the world one day to denying your son the next?" she asked. "Look at him, Bishop!" she yelled at him as she held the baby up. "You look at him and tell me that this is not your son." Bishop knew the minute he'd laid eyes on him that Quinton was his son. He just didn't want to lose Anna. She was his world. But Bishop knew he couldn't deny his son. He didn't deserve it. Bishop grew up without his father, which was one of the main reasons he was in the streets now. He didn't know how he was going to do it, but he had to be there for him. "Can I hold him? I mean, is it ok?" he asked. Tanya hesitated before she handed Quinton to him. Bishop looked down at him and he felt a lump in his throat. "Damn. I'm sorry, T. I fucked up. I got caught up and trying to keep everybody happy. I fucked up bad. It wasn't supposed to happen like this," he said as a tear fell down his face while he looked into the eyes of his son. Bishop was so busy looking at the baby that he didn't see Anna around the corner. "You fucking bitch!" she screamed as she jumped Tanya from behind and began punching her repeatedly.

A scholarship-winning student, he dropped out of UCLA in favor of the overpowering lure of the Grateful Dead and counterculture living. Soon Norberg was making deals and doing drugs all the way from Humboldt to Berkeley. Confessions of a Dope Dealer provides an eye-opening, no-holds-barred account of Sheldon's life, but it also provides much more. It's a story of how one man's quest for transcendence blinded him to what he really needed: simple human acceptance.

Download or read book Braverman written by Jeffrey Wachman and published by . This book was released on 2016-01-13 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been two great surprises in my life. The first surprise is that I became a teenage drug dealer. The second surprise is that I didn't die one. But, I was stubborn and charming and determined to use those talents to better my family's life. This book is based on my life. It isn't the whole story, because I am sure that none of the people running with me then would like their identities revealed. So, out of respect for their privacy, or fear of their retaliation, I have changed names and characteristics that would give away the identity of folks who do not wish to be identified. This book is honest even if some of the details here are fictional. And what the honesty of this project has allowed me to see is that not too long ago, I was a bad guy who did very bad things to a lot of people. I wasn't all bad though, and I had my reasons, but it was a dark, dark time and I took a lot of people I loved through it with me, for reasons I am still struggling with. --Jeffrey Wachman

Download or read book Confessions of a Cartel Hit Man written by Martin Corona and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true confession of an assassin, a sicario, who rose through the ranks of the Southern California gang world to become a respected leader in an elite, cruelly efficient crew of hit men for Mexico's "most vicious drug cartel," and eventually found a way out and an (almost) normal life. Martin Corona, a US citizen, fell into the outlaw life at twelve and worked for a crew run by the Arellano brothers, founders of the the Tijuana drug cartel that dominated the Southern California drug trade and much bloody gang warfare for decades. Corona's crew would cross into the United States from their luxurious hideout in Mexico, kill whoever needed to be killed north of the border, and return home in the afternoon. That work continued until the arrest of Javier Arellano-Félix in 2006 in a huge coordinated DEA operation. Martin Corona played a key role in the downfall of the cartel when he turned state's evidence. He confessed to multiple murders. Special Agent of the California Department of Justice Steve Duncan, who wrote the foreword, says Martin Corona is the only former cartel hit man he knows who is truly remorseful. Martin's father was a US Marine. The family had many solid middle-class advantages, including the good fortune to be posted in Hawaii for a time during which a teenage Martin thought he might be able to turn away from the outlaw life of theft, drug dealing, gun play, and prostitution. He briefly quit drugs and held down a job, but a die had been cast. He soon returned to a gangbanging life he now deeply regrets. How does someone become evil, a murderer who can kill without hesitation? This story is an insight into how it happened to one human being and how he now lives with himself. He is no longer a killer; he has asked for forgiveness; he has made a kind of peace for himself. He wrote letters to family members of his victims. Some of them not only wrote back but came to support him at his parole hearings. It is a cautionary tale, but also one that shows that evil doesn't have to be forever.
