Gangs of Chicago | Almighty Gaylord Nation | Blog

Gangs o f Chicago Almighty Gaylord Nation Blog You A\G\L;s said you wanted some non G\L;s to put in some early history like the early 1970's. Well this is from Lil Mick; I was a member of the Almighty Popes; Kolmar & Jefferson Parks. I was there with Larkin and several of the original members back starting in 1971. By original members I mean from those particual parks. First off I would like to say I never personally had any beefs with any of you ; in fact we used to stop over there by Kilbourne Park and party with Saint ; Indian; Ringo; and Sly. here were times during the school year that we would get together with some of the other clubs like the Jousters;P.V.P;s;andC_Notes and stand over by the Triangle res. and get it on with the Dueces from the DiversyProjects. So what exactly was the hatered against us Popes. Ipersonally was solo by 1977(my last burglary beef and I hooked up with a good women.) I really don;t know how the Popes could have sunk that low to allow any body in. That was in the 80;s and I was up around Wilson & Magnolia in Uptown. I hate to say it but gonna be honest I got heavally into drugs. But thank God I got into rehab and married a fantastic women(been happily together for 17 years. I look back now and really appecriate my old gang days where I woke up drug free and felt good about myself.Anyway your blogs are fucking A and they bring back a lot of memories(good & bad ) P.S. I;ve allowed myself to forgive the Gaylord who fired the gun that killed my Brother Larry. P.S. if you didn;t know this he was a Popes before he became a K\P G\L; Him & Scottie; who started the Sunnyside & Magnolia G\L;s. Later Lil Mick 1971 Almighty Popes. Excuse my spelling.

A little history and Results.

I know the Gaylords pretty much have there post all solid; so I am going to try and shed a little light on my (and other Popes views). AS I grew older and gained a-lot more street experiance; which most of it is not upstanding; but violent and the art of survival. When I was a Pope back in 1971 thru 1977 it was part friends party enemies and true partners ( that included Larkin; Hillbilly from Independence Park; Drunk ). R.I.P. to Larry and Ricky. kast I heard Doug (Hillbilly) is on death-row on the eastcoast.I am damn lucky I meet a good and loyal women who I married and am on a methadone program. Whe I left the Popes soon after Lakin got killed ;I got into some pretty heavy duty robbing and dealing and now that Iam 52 years old I consider myself (no I am lucky to still be here) writing this.I;ve been stabbed ;shot and beat withpipes and ball-bats not to gang violence but to the fucking street and my own stupitidy. Any-way when I got my own computer and saw my own and others history it made me want try and get some kinda of message out to the young bloods . Drugs and the street only tear you up phsyically and mentally. Peace and power toallof you.. Lil Mick Almighty Popes ! Kolmar and Jefferson Parks 1971 to 1977.
