Welcome to San Pedro
I was born and raised in San Pedro - I’m the sum of my community. I learned quick - keep your mouth shut or be ready to back it up. Folks here, they don't take kindly to loose talk, to shit-slingers who think words are just air. You say something, you better damn well mean it because someone's always listening, always watching.
These people, they're not much for second chances. Respect is the currency, hard-earned and easily lost. Step out of line, and you'll find yourself staring down the business end of someone's bad day. It's not about violence, not really - it's about keeping the peace, maintaining the fragile balance.
It's the unspoken rule, etched into every crack in the pavement, every shadow in the alleyway. Out here, your word is your bond, and breaking it is a sin they don’t forgive. The bar fights, the blood on the sidewalk, those are just reminders. Speak with purpose or keep silent. Simple as that.
This community, they live by a code, one that's rough around the edges but solid at its core. They know who they are and they protect their own. You respect that, or you learn to - sometimes the hard way.
