A childhood friend of mine joined the Bloods in Detroit when we were about 16, he dealt drugs and a host of other schit when they wanted him to start murdering he couldn't do it and the only way out of the Bloods gang is in a casket. My buddy got smart and joined the Peace Corps to get out of the country and escape the mayhem of the Bloods.

I haven't seen him since. The last time I saw him we were 18 and he was 6' 11" and built like a tree trunk.

He made some bad choices with the lure of easy money, hopefully they didn't get him.

I miss that guy he was awesome.


6'11" is not a good height for doing crimes.

Kinda stand out from the crowd and it would make it hard for the Po-po to come up with a lineup.

I hope you friend stayed out of "the thug life".
