I came from as low as one could come, with no mother and no father. So in return I build a family for myself and these fella’s were a part of my family. So I had to look out for them, as if I was looking out for my children. Scrooge, former leader of the Rebellion Raiders street gang that once boasted of having some ten thousand members Drexel Deal

“I came from as low as one could come, with no mother and no father. So in return I build a family for myself and these fella’s were a part of my family. So I had to look out for them, as if I was looking out for my children. Scrooge, former leader of the Rebellion Raiders street gang that once boasted of having some ten thousand members” is a story about how someone comes up from nothing to form a family to take care of others.

Scrooge has risen above the worst circumstances imaginable to create his own family. It used to be that he was able to take care of himself, but through his experiences he has learned the value of helping other people. What was once a gang based on greed has become an organization that cares about its members.

Members can come from all walks of life, but they are all part of Scrooge’s family because he adopted them into it.
