I'D LIKE TO PUT TO REST THE GLAMOURIZATION OF THE GAYLORDS. SADLY THESE ARE MISFORTUNATE EVENTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES THAT SHOULD NEVER BE REPEATED. IF SOMEHOW THIS TRAGEDY OF GANG LIFE CAN BE AVOIDED BY YOUNG PEOPLE I FEEL LIKE IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT IT IS. WE FOUGHT OUT OF NECESSITY AND NOW IT SEEMS AS IF THE NEW GENERATION FIGHTS OUT OF CHOICE. WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO FOLLOW IN OUR FOOTSTEPS WHEN OUR FOOTSTEPS TRACKED SO MUCH TRAGEDY, BLOOD, AND DEATH THROUGH OUR DOORSTEPS. THIS WEBSITE WAS MADE FOR HISTORICAL PURPOSES, AND BY NO MEANS INFLUENTIAL PURPOSES. THE QUESTION WE NEED TO ASK OURSELVES IS: DOES THEIR CAUSE DIFFER NOW THEN OURS DID THEN? WHAT IS OUR REASONING FOR BEING ON THIS SITE? I HOPE ITS TO GUIDE OUR YOUNGER GENERATION ON TO THE RIGHT PATH OPPOSED TO OUR PATH. -BUTCH St/A G/L
