Old friend of mine shot in the head - killed

[408Mike]

In the last month I've had a buddy go down and is looking at ~5 years in prison, a buddy pass in his early 30's (we aren't sure why yet, but I think I know) and in the last 2 years three close friends have all gone down for dist and are all still in prison. A fourth got lucky and was popped but gave enough info to DEA I guess to get off with probation, and a 5th is awaiting whether the DA is going to charge with intent to dist or just possesion (coke)

Damn dude, it's like in my 20's, no one died, everyone was always dodging the law just fine, we all made money, and now all of a sudden people are actually dying and some are already in prison or on the way. Oh, and the rest have fucking kids and may as well be dead.

If you're saying what I think you're saying, in the near future I will be either dead, in jail, or still treading water in life, watching my friends and loved ones go down or pass away.

How do you see my future panning out?

Also what in the hell do I actually have to look FORWARD to in life???

Where is the happiness worth working hard and fighting for???

No, of course I'm not saying you're necessarily going to die or things will be horrible. I'm saying to take advantage of any treatment that the system offers you, and to take that shit as seriously as you've ever taken anything and approach it with resolve, because it can certainly go south if you don't. I have no idea of the specifics of your situation, nor do I want to know. I couldn't guess what direction it will go, just suggesting which direction it can go.

Honestly, the deaths have all been opiates, and it's all people I knew only once I got sick and met through this girl, which led me to the next, etc. I didn't grow up with pill heads, I was before that shit hit in full force. Most of those I know with a bad jones are like 34-37 right now and younger people that I don't know. I wasn't a downer guy, and once I got well, it didn't really have a grip on me. I'm also fortunate that no one in my circle of close friends is into the pharmaceuticals. That helped when I left them behind. They are around, but not in my face.

The body forgives a lot of shit in your 20's, but the 30's hit and people seem to drop. My friend had a refrigerator almost completely covered with funeral cards, an inordinate amount of them died at 33 for whatever reason. It was so fucking morbid it was almost a piece of art. But all were under 35 back when I saw all of them. Now as she is 36, her friends dropping are her age or a few years one way or the other. Some I knew, some I didn't know.

I have known a lot of guys who died of heart attacks in their 40's and 50's that I think cocaine had a contributory factor in, but that shit just gets marked down as heart attacks unless they keeled over doing lines. Meth seems to do it's work quicker, but I don't have much experience with it, so I can't say. Pills, and then heroin, are what is racking up the numbers though.

Your future looks like shit. Quit coming on the forums and bitching looking for pity. If your life sucks, fucking change it. Jesus Mike, you are 31 years old. Grow up. I can see why no one will hire you. You are mentally unstable. Don't say "I can't get a job", that's bullshit. Gas stations and fast food places are always hiring. You post on these forums expecting someone to tell you the meaning of life. Happiness is different for every person. There is no blueprint. Most people your age have figured that out. No one here is going to hold your hand and tell you what to do next. Can you even wipe your own ass, or do you still need mommy to walk you through on how to do that?

I feel no better place to post these than here (specifically the 2nd one):

I went to college with the guy that made those videos. His name is Mike Polk. He's a struggling comedian in Cleveland.

Here's one he did about the Browns:



You are a factory of sadness!

Yeah, that's a good one. Mike's actually a good guy and I personally like his sense of humor.

Here's his audition video to America's Got Talent...

once you get past 185th its a rap lol im scared to go in collinwood during the day, let alone at night and as for 131 and edgewood.....never!definitley was a drug deal gone bad....im sorry for your loss

I would have no problem going to Collinwood during the day Billy but not 131st in the Harvard/Miles area even with packing heat, even the crack heads should not be copping there at night because there are a lot of easier public places in Cleveland to meet for that
there must have been something else besides a couple $20 rocks maybe he was into the nigga for a lot of $ and the nigga figured he was never going to get paid

sorry for your loss moose

[badbilly32]

everything there is really old and practically torn up.

if you watched the cleveland promo videos above, you'll see the part where they mention it's out of scooby doo show. it really does seem like it.

I watched the first one you posted, which was *yawn* overall, the second isn't watchable without going to youtube, so fingers crossed it's a bit better. You seem to have experience in Cleveland, no shock stories or anything? People getting robbed at gunpoint or anything?

hell i been shot @ or indirectly 3 times in cleveland(once in collinwood in the dorchester rollo, standing next to gary christopher , his brother phil is the famous bankrobber that did the cali/lordstown bank jobs lol) once off of fulton and 57th we were actually doing the whole street when i kept hearing whizzing noises then i heard a "ting"(bullet hiting a stop sign over my head). and once on edgecliffe off of euclid ave by the old alpaul car wash

f.m.l. i once did a deal down on 98th and st. clair(all street lights shot out on the street) with 3 jamacans in an empty house with just a table and 3 chairs( i had 8k on me, for sure thought i was gonna get left for dead that night) ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh good times in cleveland good times!!!!!!!

Wow, makes me thankful that I went through my drug phase (Adderall, really any pill upper; LOL, but still) without serious consequences. Never escalated to the heavier shit; quit it cold and still avoid situations where I know I could get them.

Thank god opiates have always made me sick; at my peak of degeneracy I was trying them all but never really liked them.

DRUGS ARE BAD MKAY

better than standing next to Danny Greene at the dorchester lol, if i remember correctly billy didn't Loraine go out with danny's son, 57th & Fulton were hillbillys shooting at squriels and i have run my car thru that alpaul wash many times, east cleveland police used to hang out there, i used edgecliffe as a cut through since it was a well known drug street just to check out what was happening and i'm sure 98th & St Clair was scarry as jamaicans have no souls

mike people got robbed at gunpoint and shot all the time in cleveland but they were either black or hillbillys so nobody cared

i do have a good story about the collinwood riots but it's too long and nobody cares anymore
this will give you a idea of what was going on

did you to coke with tony delmonti to?

[donkeykilla]

Sorry to hear this. I have had 3 friends that were murdered and all three were the result of Drugs. When they say there is 2 places you will end up when dealing with drugs they are absofuckinglutly right. And I'm not talking about weed.
