Logs for Wesley Smedley
Wes Smedley is just one of many gunrunners, smugglers, and traffickers who do business on Staten Island. He's had his share of scrapes and near-misses, but he's still kickin', and he still gets by. Bullets, booze, and whores are a dime a dozen. It's not the high-life, but it's a living. | ||
