@Dan Jackson things were done things are still being done that nobody likes but you want to say my uncle is a dead kingpin yes he is but someone loved him he was a uncle a father and a brother so you can kiss my ass
Yeah I met Brotha Syl while working at the federal halfway house Brotha Syl was sent after serving his 24yr bid. We'd sit and talk for hours while he was there. He's genuinely a good man with a great heart but had many demons for which I'm convinced he sought redemption, to his credit.
This documentary about the Atkins’s Some of it is true but my uncle never had $1 million my uncle Sylvester never had $1 million in the house my uncle read was 17 when he was shot and my uncle Claudell that part is true Golden gloves champ ❤
We need to somehow make this channel bigger. Much love and support. Just need more content. Crazy one of my best friends uncles in here Nate Sledge. And found that out just because of the unique last name and they both being light skin lol. My mama loves this documentary and was familiar with many of the players mentioned. Good doc just wish I had more to watch. You can also cover the gang history of STL. A lot of legendary names there even tho it’s a ugly history
My brother in law was a heroin addict in STL burbs. We worked for The Company selling pounds of Columbia’s Gold for years until he decided to shoot up again after The Company was busted.
Prayers up for all the families of these people sad part is my parents went to school and grew up with majority of them especially from the gas light district back then from the JVL to the Bluemyre to the Cochrane and the Peabody as well as Pruittigoe projects.

Man Earl “killer” Williams was a beast . It’s a lot of stand up gangsters you should report on . Walnut Park/ MarkTwain got some notorious true Gangsters .
About 6 or 7 yrs ago (maybe a lil longer) I was at the 7 11 on gravios and Jefferson and this Og (he was atleast in his 50s) walked up to me and told me his name. I forgot his first name but I believe it was Anthony but his last name was Petty. He asked me have I ever heard of the Petty boys, I told him yea, and he went on to say they own a store (I forgot the location). He said he got out of either jail or the hospital (I forgot) and he didn't have no money on him, but he offered me his gold jewelry and some money the next day if I would take him on the north side. He had on a few thousand dollars in gold too... But he was shaking like a leaf and he told me if he get caught out there where we were at that 'they' was gonna kill him. he made me scared lol, and I told him no.
