They decided to head to Gabe's for sloppy bags. But things didn't go as planned. The BWGs were already there, and things got out of hand quickly. AOD saw the gun and picked it up, aimed it into the crowd, and fired off one shot. The bullet hit Mike-G in the face. He stood still and then dropped to the pavement. Hearing sirens, the CC Live boys ran toward the MLK school field, where they split up and ran their own ways. AOD hid under a car for a while. When he decided to come out, he threw the gun on the roof of the elementary school and started walking as if nothing happened.

Download or read book Writing My Wrongs written by Shaka Senghor and published by Convergent Books. This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An “extraordinary, unforgettable” (Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow) memoir of redemption and second chances amidst America’s mass incarceration epidemic, from a member of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100 Shaka Senghor was raised in a middle-class neighborhood on Detroit’s east side during the height of the 1980s crack epidemic. An honor roll student and a natural leader, he dreamed of becoming a doctor—but at age eleven, his parents’ marriage began to unravel, and beatings from his mother worsened, which sent him on a downward spiral. He ran away from home, turned to drug dealing to survive, and ended up in prison for murder at the age of nineteen, full of anger and despair. Writing My Wrongs is the story of what came next. During his nineteen-year incarceration, seven of which were spent in solitary confinement, Senghor discovered literature, meditation, self-examination, and the kindness of others—tools he used to confront the demons of his past, forgive the people who hurt him, and begin atoning for the wrongs he had committed. Upon his release at age thirty-eight, Senghor became an activist and mentor to young men and women facing circumstances like his. His work in the community and the courage to share his story led him to fellowships at the MIT Media Lab and the Kellogg Foundation and invitations to speak at events like TED and the Aspen Ideas Festival. In equal turns, Writing My Wrongs is a page-turning portrait of life in the shadow of poverty, violence, and fear; an unforgettable story of redemption; and a compelling witness to our country’s need for rethinking its approach to crime, prison, and the men and women sent there.

Download or read book Radiation Raver written by Shaun K. Kearney and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-10-21 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During 1999 I was a normal, part time self employed, happily married, standard South African guy. 38 years old with a great future planned. I had most of the same hang ups that plagued everybody, mid month crisis and month end blues. My wife, step daughters, mother in law and myself, lived in the suburbs of Kempton Park, happily going about our daily business with minimal stress levels. During July 1999, I was temporally managing a hardware store in Greenside when the owner had a lump removed from his chest. The lump proved to be malignant but had not spread. I am fair haired and have a light skin complexion, and as I had been working outdoors repairing and installing irrigation systems, some of my freckles became dark and suspicious and as Mister Elsbach, the hardware store owner, had just had a tumour removed, dark freckles became a point of concern. I had four of my freckles removed and tested for all those wonderful things that life throws at you. The results of the tests on all four biopsies came back negative. Relief. Once again I believed that I was a reasonably healthy guy. Out of the blue, during September 1999, a slight swelling on the right side of my neck began to grow. Being a normal tough guy that I was, I didn’t worry about the swelling as swollen glands are part of growing up. Eventually, after many hours of putting up with a nagging wife, about six weeks later, and having difficulties using a razor to shave with, I made an appointment with our family GP. After a course of very strong antibiotics, everything on my body healed, including my navel, and excluding this lump in my neck, which had grown considerably in size during the previous weeks of treatment. A decision was made to remove the offending bits of swollen gland and send it off for tests. The removal of the lump was scheduled for the 1st of December 1999. The surgical removal of the lump was successful. The story that follows is a result of the lump removed from my neck. I come from a rather large family and I have four brothers and four sisters. For my wife and I to phone everybody with all the different news all the time was proving to be a rather time consuming project and was becoming rather costly. As I have family and friends all around the world, the most convenient form of communicating with everybody at once is email. I maintained a sort of an electronic diary with photo’s for all to see. This worked out quite well as some of my family and friends were involved in the medical services and understood the doctor’s medical jargon rather well, as well as wanting to create my own record. Understanding the medical jargon proved to be quite a life saver. Whenever I needed an explanation on any diagnosis, I would email Jerry in Australia and get an answer in English that we all could understand. The emails that I sent out to family members to keep all informed proved to be quite popular and the list of recipients grew and grew. This is my story of how I survived the diagnosis and the treatment. I have kept the diary as close to the original email format with some explanatory notes accompanying the story. Photos have been inserted into the episodes with notes attached relating to the current happenings relevant to that episode. Some photos have been duplicated purposefully. The last healthy picture before all hell broke loose.

House spent a few months in prison for a lifetime probation violation and was released under strict supervision to a parole center. House got caught up with fleeing and alluding a month before he was scheduled for release off parole and was sent back to prison. While in the county awaiting his sentence, House learned that his father was murdered in their neighborhood. Then once he arrived in prison, it was sadly told to him that his uncle had passed away from diabetes. When it rains, it pours, because then his girlfriend of eight years left him for dead in the joint. But when God closes one door, he opens up a new one, and Tonya walked back into House’s life. But now House is back and the streets are calling. His respect is on the line, and his love for the game is deep. But going back to prison is not an option. Which path to choose is a confusing choice. And with a hustla’s spirit but the mind set to do the right thing, the money may take control of the situation.

In the streets, it’s kill or be killed, and you either get money or you in the way. So if you ain’t willing and ready to go all the way in this never-ending game, catch the sideline. But with a trill reputation on the streets and a crew who loves and respects House, it’s harder leaving the game than he ever imagined it would be. But let’s travel down this road with House and vision the reality of this Da’Lyfe! Let’s ride.
