“We didn’t use swear-words, we never took the name of God or the mother in vain, we never talked disrespectfully about any elderly person, pregnant woman, small child or orphan, or anyone disabled. We were well integrated, and to tell the truth we didn’t need swear-words to make us feel grown-up, as the kids of our age in other districts did, because we were treated as if we were genuinely part of the criminal community; we were a real gang, made up of juveniles, with responsibilities and the sa...me hierarchy as the adult criminal community. Our job was to act as look-outs. We would walk round our area, spend a lot of time on the borders with other districts and inform the adults about any unusual movement. If any suspicious character passed through the district – a policeman, an informer, or a criminal from another district – we’d make sure our adult Authorities knew about it within a few minutes. When the police arrived, we usually blocked their path: we’d sit or lie down in front of their cars, forcing them to stop.MoreLessRead More Read Less
