Constant Reality in a Project: Fear of Violent Drug Gangs

The 41 Crew, headed by 22-year-old George (Geto) Silvia, sold about $20,000 worth of crack every day in one of the complex's buildings at 1141 East 229th Street, turning it into a giant crack den with addicts loitering in hallways and drug deals being made in the lobby, according to the indictments and the Housing Authority police.

Federal authorities confiscated seven luxury cars belonging to gang members, $230,000 in cash and an arsenal that included a hand grenade, a shotgun, several semiautomatic handguns and a military assault rifle, the indictment said. In a separate action, the authorities evicted the tenants of four apartments in other buildings that they believed were being used as crack houses. 'You Pray a Lot'

Despite the arrests and evictions, many mothers at Edenwald said they were still afraid to allow their children to go outside, even in daylight. Most of those interviewed said they were afraid to help the authorities find and prosecute dealers. And most asked not to be identified for fear of reprisals from dealers.

''You keep to yourself,'' said Sandra V., a resident of 1138 East 229th Street, who asked that her last name not be used. ''You pray a lot. You tell your kids to steer clear of trouble. You go back to your roots. And you keep hoping you can move somewhere else.''

Esther Watkins, a young mother of three who lives at 1138 East 229th, said she rarely dared to leave her apartment. ''After it gets dark, I don't go outside by myself, not even to the store,'' she said. ''You can't even take your kids to sit in the park anymore. Someone's shooting over there.''

A woman who lives in the building at 1141 East 229th said that although she knew who was dealing crack in her building, she was afraid to be a witness for the police. Her son, who is 23, works at night, she said, and she often lies awake waiting for him to thread his way through the gantlet of addicts and pushers to her apartment.

''The dealers don't take it out on you,'' she said. ''They take it out on your children.'' Only One Entrance

One obstacle for the police has been the physical layout of the buildings. Each has only one entrance, surrounded by concrete ramparts. When plainclothes officers come near a building where crack is being sold, teen-age lookouts whistle loudly or shout, ''Five-oh,'' a signal for the dealers to sprint upstairs into apartments.

Once a dealer is inside an apartment, the police legally cannot enter without a search warrant. To get a search warrant, the police need informers to establish probable cause that crack is being sold there.

But the pervasive dread of the dealers makes it extremely difficult to recruit informers, officers said. ''The informants say to us: 'What are you going to do? Lock me up? Go ahead,' '' said one detective. ''That's because they know these dealers will kill them.''

I tried to watch the Kevin Chiles interview with Flex, but he's the WORST at interviewing people. He's such a clueless goofy. Keeps interrupting, has no street smarts. Gatdam this nikka is an annoying lame :scust:

The goofy ass giggling and talking over nikkaz is horrible. I tried to listen to this George Silva video, but had to cut it off :scust:

Court records obtained by The News show Perez was part of a massive cocaine distribution case in 1994. Following her arrest, she became a key government cooperator, going undercover to help the DEA build successful cases against major traffickers in Puerto Rico and Colombia.

Cooperation with the feds won her supervised release, but she went on the lam and then served nine months in prison.

Dame talked about it too

Shots Fired! Dame Dash Says That Jay Z May Have Been Snitching for Years?! [VIDEO]
MARCH 05, 2015 WORD ON DA STREET NO COMMENTS
ddasssss.jpg

Whoa! Just when you thought Dame Dash & Jay Z might be making amends with eachother, Dame does this. Last year we told you about that Daily News article that exposed the alleged business relationship that Jay Z has with Desiree Perez, the wife of his close friend O.G. Juan whom he frequently shouts out in songs [click here if you missed that]. Perez was reportedly a DEA cooperator who wore wires to meet with major coke dealers. Dame Dash dropped a bombshell in his recent interview with Sway on ‘Sway In The Morning’ and stated that ever since he read that same article, he has been questioning whether Jay has been snitching himself!? Check it out below….




Dame implies that it is no coincidence that all of Jay Z’s friends – Bigs, Irv Gotti and now Dame himself – have all either been sent to prison or been hounded by the Feds. Skip to the 54:30 mark to hear what Dame said about Jay Z being a possible informant…


This is the article that Dame is talking about…





Jay Z relaxing with Desiree and her husband Juan “OG” Perez

Dame on the Daily News article that exposed Jay Z’s business partner Desiree Perez’s informant past…

“This is the one time that the paper did scare me, and I was like ‘well there has to be some truth to it,’ which is when I read about his affiliation with informants. You know, that he was in business with certain people. And, it’s tricky for me to say but based on where I’m from, I can’t have nothing to do with that.

Sway then asks Dame if he really believes what the media says about Jay and he responded…

There’s paperwork. So, it’s not to believe, there’s paperwork so, that part of it scares me. I know Biggs is in jail, I know Irv Gotti’s been harassed for years over sh*t he didn’t do. I know they’ve been f*cking with me for years. So, it just means I need to stay over here.”

SMDH….that Roc-A-Fella reunion definitely isn’t gonna happen now! What do you think about what Dame said? Do you think he is just trying to throw dirt on Jay’s name or do you think there could be some truth to it?

Side note: these pictures that went viral last year of Jay Z & Dame meeting eachother for the first time since their break up were taken way after that article was printed so I’m not sure why it didn’t bother Dame then?



Synopsis of the interview:

At the 8:42 mark, Dash makes it clear about his feelings toward American actor, film producer, and director, Lee Daniels. Telling us that he “owes” Dash $2 Million. And also opens up about Kanye West (23:24), dropping him from his label years ago and why they should team up with his current endeavors.

What about his current relationship with Jay Z? At the 54:30 mark, he fills us in on where they stand.

Continuing to clarify the “beef” between Dash and Jim Jones (32:52 mark) — and even between him and Beanie Siegle (46:44) — he gives us some new insight and challenges us pursue “their” side of the story.

Moving forward, Dash does what seldom have ever done — call Sway out for wearing his hats! Watch below as he questions Sway’s motives, drops game and opens up about his family and friends (1:03:32 mark.)

off topic but funny to me that jayz still rolls with og juan (I just saw him in a video with Cassanova) even though OG's wife is a convicted snitch. But Jay won't fukk with dehaven right?

this was one of the excuses Dame has/had to why he won't associate himself with Jay anymore.

makes it kind of funny that back then Cam and Jim knew Juan and Cam said Juan gaffles Jay and Jay is Juans mule, Juan pimps Jay etc, Jim had problems with him...fast forward...Jim doesn't speak to Cam or Dame and Juan eventually helped Jim's Roc deal happen.
