Yes I'm writing a book from my teenage gang years, criminal activities, my pool hustling days, and up until I changed my ways and become a nurse to help people not hurt them.

There are a lot more people on AZBilliards more interesting than me. They were real road players who played the best in the world. I'm very small potato's compared to them. Johnnyt

There are many who have great stories to tell that weren't the greatest players. Write the book.

So what happened to the kid's dad? Isn't that illegal?

I think the police were glad to see Stepp get shot. He was responsible for so much mayhem around Dayton. As far as I know the father never was arrested. I do know Stepp did not want the police involved.

I'm walking out of the poolroom, in Raleigh, one night. On the ground was an Asian fellow. He was holding a hole where he'd been shot in the neck. The ambulance got there and off he went. I walked back inside. About five minutes later (let's call him Lon) came in with four guys scanning the room. He (we'd always been on good terms) asked me what I'd seen. "Nothing. Hope they find the guy." "Don't worry about that, it'll be handled." In a military fashion, they walked through the room, asking and taking note. They left.

Ten minutes later the eleven o'clock news was coming on when a "breaking story" came in. One male shot seven times on _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Blvd. Two others injured. Unbelievable.

I would assume it was "handled." That was one crew we all should leave alone. Super nice guy. But... don't screw with any of his family.

that was the usual around here

Usually the bad guys wanted to settle things between each other and as long as no citizens were badly injured or killed and no bodies left laying around to cause media attention and grief for the police they were happy to stay out of things.

The teamsters local was feuding with a local biker gang many years ago. Fun times in the rough places for awhile but the bikers couldn't hold up their end for long and the entire gang relocated to Houston. Most of those activities didn't involve the law either. The police wanted no part of getting caught in the middle!

I was working across from the bank one day when a car screeched into their parking lot. A girl leapt out and drug her barely conscious boyfriend out of the car. I ran to help. The guy had been stabbed through the arm and in his side. We tied off his arm to stop the bleeding and rested him while the ambulance came.

Here's the interesting part:
The guy made his girlfriend leave before the ambulance and police arrived. The cops continued to question him about the stab wounds. This is pretty much how it went:
Officer: "Who stabbed you?"
Guy: "Nobody"
Officer: "Where were you stabbed?"
Guy: "Not here."

Later found out it was the guy's brother that stabbed him.

I second ironman's motion... write the book! Enjoyed your "Under the
Radar" short story. Looking forward to more John.

two brothers

I hired a redneck country boy from the hills east of here once many years ago. He and his twin brother fought all of their lives. Not just fist fights and such, baseball bats, boards, knives, one cut the others throat in a bar one night. He survived the throat cutting and it didn't really change things. A few years after the guy had worked for me I was reading the paper and saw that the twins had been helping their dad roof his house. They got in a fight and one of them climbed down, got his gun, and shot the other one off of the roof. Killed him this time so I assume the one doing the shooting went to Angola Farm but I don't remember seeing the court case.
