Angelo is annoyed
about what happened to Bones.  

He goes back to the hood.  
Angelo knows people.  

For a kid as young as Angelo,
he has a lot of connections.  

He locates Jake,
the guy that was out on the playground
shooting hoops with Bones
when Bones was taken.  

He gets a good description of the guy,
and the guy’s big fancy car.  

Angelo finds out where he lives.  

Angelo enlists the help
of Butch and Wawa.  

What the Angelo, Butch, and Wawa
did to the stinking pervert,
and his friends that hurt Bones
was not pretty.  

Let’s just say
they dispatched them all,
and leave it at that.

Bobby

Street justice. Less delicate and more effective than judicial procedure, though, I understand why the latter is fairer and necessary. I love the way you make us think about the common aspects of life, especially inner city life. Great job again, Bobby.

Thanks XGarapanX,

I very much appreciate your kind comments on the lives of the inner city poor.

Many people wish we would just die, and go away.

You are absolutely right, Bobby. And it's a self-defeating and devisive attitude by selfish and arrogant (or ignorant) people.

Thanks Prasad,

When you live so close together, you have to take care of business.

I wouldn't have it any other way.
