We really had a close netted structure to rely on for anything, you could have gone by anyone house and get something to eat. Whatever they were eating, they wouldve fed you, and all the mothers wouldve treated you just like they treated their own. What the gang also did, it provided some level of protection for a lot of the working adults in the neighborhood. They knew that their houses were safe, when they went out to work and didnt have to worry about anyone breaking in to their homes. Scrooge, former leader of the Rebellion Raiders street gang that once boasted of having some ten thousand members
