I’ve been in this racket long enough. Every minute I was in danger of death…I’m tired of the gang murders and the gang shootings….During the last two years I’ve been trying to get out. But one in the racket you’re always in it, it seems. The parasites trail you, begging you for favors and for money, and you can never get away from them, no matter where you go.
