STONEFISH (玫瑰毒鲉)

THE BEJKO ORGANIZATION The streets of Tirana and the roots of Albanian-American organized crime In Tirana, Pjeter Marku lived with his mother, grandmother and her young adult son in a part of town called Selvia, and rented a car that I drove on highways that are pitch-black at night and have no speed limits. He went through cities where the traffic lights are suggestions, weaving through the chaos of donkey carts, overloaded motorcycles and pedestrians crossing everywhere. There were no sidewalks. The crumbling walls of many of the buildings were covered by gang tags: graffiti that said fuck this and fuck that, a picture of a smoking spliff on one wall, the phrase "criminal boys" tagged, in English, on the wall of a prison. The streets that had businesses on them were lined with coffee shops, casinos, and one pharmacy after another that sold drugs like Xanax and Ambien over the counter. In a bleak, run-down cement apartment building, "Toni Montana" was graffitied on a hallway wall outside. I went there to visit a divorced mother who was fighting cancer, who lives with her mother and her young adult son who has to hustle to pay under the table for medical treatment. Pjeter was only 12 years old when he was tasked with the daunting responsibility of being a nurse to his terminally ill mom. She was in her last stages of nasopharyngeal cancer, and because we couldn’t afford hospital care and treatments, she opted to live out her final months in her childhood home in the province. More than a decade after his mother died of cancer, her death still haunts me. It was no doubt a painful time, but it was also filled with so many profound moments. His mother, even in her all too fragile state, was indirectly teaching me valuable life lessons, which later on became my weapon and armor to survive adulthood. Pjeter arrived to New York City 8 years after his mothers death on a blistering hot day in June. Twenty-three, ten bags and one roller coaster of a journey ahead of him. He relived nights out at the same clubs, bars, pubs, and restaurants week after week and desperately needed a change. He persevered and made a friendship circle who had now became his rock in the city. The circle hanging around Pjeter started to become a small-time criminal crew in New York which actively hung around clubs, bar pubs and restaurants and collected the filthy jobs from the Italians mobsters. The members of the Marku crew in New York loved Scarface, Donnie Brasco, Goodfellas, John Gotti and the Iceman. One nicknamed himself "Tony Montana." They hustled hard and all-in, with seemingly no regard for consequences, taking equally reckless approaches to their dealings with other dangerous gangsters and the police. For them, it wasn't about business—they seemed committed to the life, at all costs. They practiced shooting at gun ranges, and then shot off their weapons in a coffee shop and, another time, from a car going down the highway in celebration after a drug deal. They bought gun after gun, with accessories—Glocks, silencers, shotguns, 9 mms, semi-automatics, hollow-point bullets, bulletproof vests. They picked up a gun from a fellow restaurant worker for 50 dollars and bought a machine gun from a former soldier. They’d refer to the weapons in code, saying to each other in Albanian, “Make sure you bring that thing (sende) with you.” Multiple figures with violent records seen frequenting Los Santos. Possible resurgence of Albanian Organized Crime? By James Miller. APRIL 10, 2021 11:08 AM PT Once considered as the ‘sixth family’ by the FBI's criminal division of New York, ever after Rudaj’s arrest in 2006, it was safe to assume that Albanian organized crime in NY had been beyond crippled. But as most criminal organizations, when an individual takes the fall, others adapt & emerge to make the most out of whatever remains. Like several other groups, while their hay-days are far beyond over, reports suggest multiple small-time crews continue operating around Astoria & Queens. A striking feature seen among Albanians remains to be the phenomenon of brotherhood, which has continuously faded among other criminals over the past few decades. The most notable example is the involvement of an Albanian-American Police Officer Besnik Llakatura in 2015. FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge Sweeney stated, “Besnik Llakatura took an oath to serve and protect the citizens of New York City as an officer of the NYPD, while simultaneously pledging his allegiance to a violent organized crime group bent on shaking down local Queens business owners within the Albanian community.” Among the list of charged defendants, two notable names were of Pjeter Marku & Tony Bejko, both emigrated to the United States as refugees of war in mid 90s according to reports. Bejko who wasn’t found guilty on any charges has moved to Los Santos ever since, while Pjeter Marku, released in February after a five year sentence has been seen frequenting LS and spotted with Bejko on numerous occasions. Experts believe throughout the course of his stay in Los Santos, Bejko has continued to dabble into the LS underworld. Tried in 2020 for narcotics distribution, Bejko once again was proven not guilty with lack of testimony. With Marku’s unexpected move, the two are suspected to cash in further on what the city has to offer, going back to their old habits.

Short description: Make property alarms alert all tenants or certain phone numbers that the owner chooses, rather than only the owner. Detailed description: As of right now, property alarms only alert the owner/police. Alarms realistically can alert as many people as you want, through phone numbers. My suggestion is to allow people to choose certain contacts to be alerted when a breakin takes place, rather than only the owner being alerted. Commands to add: /addalarmcontact Items to add: N/A How would your suggestion improve the server? A lot of the time the owner may be offline while the property is being broken into, so this creates more RP and allows more people to engage in the breakins, plus from a realism point of view, this is a lot more realistic. Additional information: The entire alarms system needs a rework, in my opinion, but this is at least a start. Also, I'm aware this has been suggested some time last year, I'm just hoping this picks up some more traction so it can be added.

Thanks for the support.

SUMMER TERRACE

💊 Growing up in the hood 💊 I was born to my mom and dad in 2005. I am 16 years old. Drug addiction was never really a big issue for me, rather my father. After about 6 years of living I started to notice my mom and dad fighting a lot. I listened to a lot of the fights and heard the words addiction, heroin, and stealer. I never understood what they meant, however. The fights became progressively worse. What started to about once a month became once or twice a week now became every single day. My mom and dad never slept in the same room. I usually slept with my mom and my dad slept in my room. I practically lived in my mom’s room in fact. My dad usually came in and out of my life by then. He still lived in our house, we just never saw him. My dad was first arrested when I was in 2nd grade. Only for a week. He was then arrested again. I saw my dad being arrested. I didn’t understand what was happening. I saw my dad against a cop car screaming at my mom and his friend XXX. He came back. I wore my dad’s hat and I felt something poking me. I took my hat off and hundreds of straws came out of it with a white powder inside them. In the summer of 4th grade, my dad was arrested for good. He got a phone call and the only words I heard was “You have to go to jail again Sean.” I asked him what that meant. He only told me it was a prank call and not to worry about it. My mom picked me up that day which was unusual. She told me daddy is gone. She took me to a restaurant and told me he was arrested. She said he’s not coming back. During the summer of my 5th-grade year, my mom and I went for a run. When we came back my dad was on the porch. My mom told me to wait and she asked what he was doing. He said he’s switching jails and wanted to pick up his stuff. My mom told him to leave. He didn’t. She let him in and I followed. She grabbed his things and kicked him out. The very next day I was greeted by my dad walking in uninvited and trying to take our things. That was the last time I had seen my dad living. In April 2020, my mom got a call from my Aunt. She was hysterical over the phone. She told my mom that my dad died. I asked my mom how he had died and she said “He said he wasn’t feeling good that day. He went down to his basement and started vomiting. He choked on his vomit, fell and hit his head against a pipe and slowly died".

people piss you off some you say you love those you call a friend walking through a crowd then you look around see there's no one left we live and then we die as one

and gin made of tears the bitter pill i swallow the scars souvenir that tattoo, your last bruise this Impossible Year

It is what happened to LSRP and GTA:W follows suit. The abnormal high crime rate and regular incidents of poor quality robberies (cashgrab, PF gun grab, robbery META & lately robberies on hunters) just discourage a great part of the community to do anything in the exterior world. As a result, people minimalize their interactions on the outside and roleplay shifts into interiors, safe spaces. This is sad, especially seeing as what GTA V has to offer with its large variety of locations. What is brought up is "Just don't carry any items on you." or "People just care about losing their script assets." - yes, this might be true for a portion of the server, but I would argue that the majority of the playerbase and especially those roleplaying outside the cops and robbers spectrum simply do not wish to put up with these things on a regular basis. You experience the lowest roleplay standard, are forced into it and have to roleplay consequences of it accordingly - general fear, reporting the robbery to police, receiving new items (mainly phone & especially rebuilding the contact list.) simply because someone has nothing better than do to get on a blacked out Torrence or BF400 to go asset grabbing with copy-paste emotes to auto-win every situation. "But this doesn't happen all the time." - the fact that it "feels like" it happens all the time based on various complaints, experiences, regular discussions on the forums and reports down to regular administrative punishments about unrealistic robberies in chat is reason enough to not bother picking up on it. This is a man-made issue, or more specifically amongst the playerbase. Civilian characters are essentially walking wallets, the punching bag for the rest of the community. It is only natural that they do not want to put up with it and minimize the risk of being involved in such situations. Walking in public, regardless of your character ("Your character is XY and/or wears Z, no surprise they get robbed!") is thus becoming a liability. From personal experience, it does not matter who, where or what your character is. If one is out for script gain and PF snatches, they will target you one way or another - public locations, remote locations or safezones - male, female, attack helicopter - armed, unarmed - rich, poor - it simply does not matter. Visiting Vespucci Beach in the afternoon/evening as single male with 100 bucks and an iPhone 3? Blacked out 4-deep Torrence rolling up on you into the sand demanding to "Run your pockets, yo!" whilst at gunpoint of 4 different handguns. Male worker parking their van on a parking lot instead of right outfront the establishment they wish to go to? Duo on a dirt bike rolling up on one demanding to "Empty your pockets, yo!" Trucker accepting their delivery at the Jetsam Terminal? Blacked out van rolling up demanding cash with a copy paste /me aims gun at head whilst the person is in the process of loading up their truck. Female civilian exiting their apartment and walking down three meters on the sidewalk in a populated area two blocks from a police station? Masked man with a baseball bat running up on them demanding cash.
