Local Gang Worried that Obama Will Take Guns Hosts Turf War Fundraiser

STEUBENVILLE - Notorious Steubenville gang the Chicago Boys (right) will be taking to the streets today to raise money for their upcoming turf war over Historic North Fourth Street. The neighborhood is currently occupied by two different rival gangs and the Chicago Boys hope to change that by next weekend. Gang leader DeSean Meyers says that membership is up, but they need supplies to accommodate the new recruits.

"Yeah man I ain't never seen nothing like it," said Meyers. "[Every]body wants to join up but we ain't got enough guns or do-rags for everyone."

Unfortunately for the Chicago Boys, gun prices have recently skyrocketed due to increased demand. Meyers and his gang blame the price hike on president Barack Obama.

"I'll tell you what it is," Meyer explained. "It's that damned Obama. He's coming after our guns, man. And when he does, me and the boys will be waiting."

In response to the increased gun prices, the gang will be hosting several fundraisers around Steubenville today.

"We got a lot of people now," said veteran member LaQuinton Bowers. "So many that we can basically have every kind of fundraiser you can think of. There's numerous ways we can choose to earn funds."

The Boys will be hosting a bake sale at St. Peter's Church (left) on North Fourth, where they plan to sell an assortment of brownies and sugar-coated candies.

"That sugar make you real good man," said Bowers. "Real talk. Don't even get me started on them brownies. You'll be happy."

Each bag of brownies will also come with a free bag of Munchies snack mix. Along with the bag sale, the Chicago Boys will be having tag day as well as a rummage sale.

"I've been practicing my best tag day lines to convince people to donate," said Meyers. "Right now my favorite is: 'Give me all the money bitch!' I say that and show them my gun, that way they know where the money's going."

As for the rummage sale, the Chicago Boys will be selling a large collection of glassware. Most of the items will be vases such as the one on the right. Also being sold is a number of herbs and spices, some purses and wallets, assorted music CDs and auto parts such as hub caps.
