Detroit Street Gang - E-book - ePub

Dawg, Blade, Horse, and Gadget, were four, small-time, neighborhood, street thugs, who found each other and decide to form a gang, but hardened criminals they weren't. Weren't, that is, until they tried their hands at car jacking, which led to a guilt ridden, rape, of an innocent young woman, and then an, amateurish, failed attempt, at robbing a liquor store while nearly getting caught by popo. From then on they tried bigger crimes, while failing at most.
Between their inept attempts at criminal activity, Blade, Horse, and Gadget partied with Dawg's sister, Samantha, or Sam for short, who was a strung out crack addict, and who didn't want to trick on the streets, while preferring to date the gang members. Dawg had no control over his sister, and stayed out of her way. Actually, he knew that no matter what, she was going to trick to get dope money, and preferred she date the gang members rather than risk injury on the streets.
Dawg, the oldest and the leader, managed to keep them out of drug distribution, fearing the consequences of one of them getting caught, and ratting out the rest. Because he witnessed what drugs had done to his older and only sister, Sam, he enforced his resolve with an iron hand. But little did Dawg know that he would become a murderer by killing a rock-slinger who was attempting to collect on a dope bill by violently raping his sister.
The killing of the belligerent dope pusher leads to a drive-by shooting, a high-speed car chase through the streets of Detroit, and the death of an innocent individual. Dawg's refusal to get rid of the murder weapon, and while attempting to use it in defense of one of his gang's members, who was involved in a drive-by shooting after a rowdy house party, would inevitably leads to the arrest of all.
