I'm still not sure. Is this another excerpt from Ronald Reagan's diaries? Donal Precusor of the new spelling of precursor > > Nogzy, Crocky and Bizzies > > I'm a Nogadog, me. I've been one for four years and I'm 17 now. I thought > it > was a good thing when I was young. It was all my mates. You are just a > Nogzy > soldier. We are all Nogzy soldiers. > > It's not a nice thing to be into, fighting and shooting and that. But > that's > it. It can be with fists or with knives, whatever someone prefers. Or guns. > > I haven't used a gun, though I have shot one off in the park once. If I was > > in danger and lads were after me then I would use one - there are two > Crocky > lads after me now. If you are fighting and you have something on you, then > you are just going to use it. > > I suppose my preferred tool would be a gun. I don't have one but I could > get > one if I wanted to. You can get a gun practically anywhere here, in a shop, > > in a newsagent even. It's so easy - Mach 10s, Mach 11s [submachine guns], > they would probably cost up to £400.

Lads > are > slightly hesitant when a car pulls up and they don't recognise it. They > could be tooled up and they could be after you. > > I've been slashed in the leg but I've never been shot. A couple of months > ago, Crocky lads had me at gunpoint in the back of a car. They just grabbed > > me in the Broadway. One of them said: "Listen I am going to blast you." It > was only a milly, a nine milly [9mm pistol]. They pointed the gun to my > head. I said: 'If you are going to do it, do it now.' I shat myself. They > let me go because they said I was the last one on their list. > > I've got pictures of guns on my mobile and my pit bull - the bizzies took > him away cos they said he was illegal but they gave me him back after two > days. The wallpaper on my phone is a Glock M14. The bizzies deleted the gun > > pictures from my girlfriend's mobile. > > There's loads of Nogzy, but we break up into smaller groups because of the > bizzies and section 60 [of the Criminal Justice and Order Act 1994 which > grants stop and search powers if police believe people are carrying > dangerous weapons] and the Asbos some of the lads have, which says they're > not to hang out with more than three boys. > > The gang's not fixed, it's loosely organised.

We do grafting. > Mostly cars, I suppose I rob about two cars a month and sell them on. > > I just stay in bed till about 2pm. Then I sit around and smoke weed. > Sometimes we do beak [cocaine] or garys [ecstasy or MDMA] but I don't do > that on the street because your jaw swings like fuck and you would need a > good kip half the time. I do it every weekend though and it's fucking > great. > I'm being good tonight. I'll have a Bud and a smoke. > > Everyone wears black, the Nogadogs and the Crocky. It's so the bizzies > don't > know who you are. The bizzies are twats. I've slashed their tyres twice. > It's funny.
