Our father is Ramon Serra, previous leaded of the Egyptian Crowns.. This history took such a horrific toll on him that it found its way to us. The many years this man endured while incarceratedultimately produced a man that had no adolescence. He was a child when he was convicted and upon release, he had become a whole other being. He did not do the normal things fathers did with their children. He was hard drive to prove that government conspiracy and other tales were true: he had long suffered from paranoid delusions. The police report stated that he claimed he had a seizure during the shooting. With the memories I have of my old man, I don't doubt it. The last time I saw my father, I had to place him in a nursing home. He was loosing consciousness at random times. During my enrollment in the Armed Forces, he signed himself out and has not been seen or heard from again. It's sad what these men have had taken from them at such an early point in life. The family they lack at home is soo critical in soo many ways. Thank you. My brother Shangar was the War Lord for the Suicide Ringo Bishops, My cousin was in the Chaplins and I was the prez of the Baby Bishops DTK LAMF. There was also a gang called Pig.
