It is mentioning that there kids in daytop who had committed real crimes, or claimed to, at least..
amongst these crimes were arson, murder, robbing old ladies, rape, and a bunch of shut. daytop believed that talking about it in group, absolved them of their sins.
.. and is it any sur[rise, that these were the people who usually rose to status quickly.
My fist ' inductions" meeting was run by an idiot, who very shortly after bragged to me in a "triad" group that he killed people.
LOL! They wanted me to write about what all these principles that hung from their walls meant, but they didn t even know what they meant.. They meant whatever they wanted them to mean at any given point.
I hated that fucker. He strutted his shit like he was some sort of proud member of society. He was someone important.. Someone in the know. It was fine that he claimed to kill people.. It was fine that he was proud of it. He learned the fucking lingo, and how to verbally attack others, and now he was a good guy. I was a bad guy, because I actually had fucking principles and morals. He thought he was so fucking tough too.. A man of the streets.. Everyone respected him, there. there were a couple of times where I had to look away from him, because I was about to show him just how fucking tough he was.
