It all started as a child, my parents got in a fight I lived with my mother and never heard from my father. I’m just a white kid on the block living in New Jersey getting caught up in an all black gang. It’s the year 2000 the year of Y2K everyone was scared of it. I know I wasn’t we couldn’t afford a computer. My name is Richard Huber and this is my story.
“Richard get up you gotta go to school!”, “your going to be late!” as my mother yelled. I got up and of course getting ready for school was a regular routine. Being in a public school with metal detectors was messed up. Looking on the ground, for my white tank top, and my denim jeans, and my adios shoes. I ran out the door dressed running for the bus, if I wouldn’t have run I’d be walking.
On the bus i'm chatting it up with Harold and Derek, talking about what we going to be doing this weekend. “yo Rik what u doin this Friday hommie?” Derek said. I replied “haha man yo know yo know we be chillin….” I get cut off by Harold “and dealin yo, did you forget boys we got business to do” I replied “ya man I understand.” The bus finally got to the school and we attend it’s a Friday and school is almost over then its summer. When school was out I met up with the unit, which was Derek, Harold, Andrew, Adrian, AJ. AJ said to us in a mean tone “look punks rule number 1! Don’t get high off your supply. Rule number 2! Don’t be dealin in the school cause then we be lookin like fools. Rule number 3! Don’t be a rat cause in the end we gun u down with a gat. Rule number 4! Have fun, get paid, and don’t turn on the unit.” Yes we got the regular rules repeated to us almost everyday, we go by rules and defy others. But some how I have to get my clothes and the paper.
While I was dealing on 32d street, some gang bangers decided to role up and gun me and my unit down none of us got hit but Derek’s older brother Ralph did, and we didn’t take it to kindly. “AHHH I’ve been shot! Brother!! I told you to stop what you do! I’m going to die cause of you!” Ralph screamed. Derek replied “phone a dam ambulance and did anybody see who was in the car?” I pulled out my cell phone and called the ambulance and I said to Derek “man Derek! Ambulance is on there way we have to roll man we have to go, I saw who did it too we will get them suckas tonight!” we got out of there as soon as possible.
That night around 11pm we rolled up on high roller turf and found the same car that shot us up. We waited till about 11:30 when those suckas came out we drove by while shooting. We got almost all of them so we hit the streets next morning. That morning we didn’t get any trouble until I got the call that Ralph was dead I knew what must be done. We the unit went to the high roller gang house. We threw some smokers in there and busted down the door and started shooting up the place. When we got to the leader Derek walked right up to him bang bang, both knee caps. We rolled out after that. We asked Derek why you didn’t finish him. Derek said “because he needs to know his mistake and learn from it.”
