The Patriots

The Patriots are a small gang operating in the neighbourhood of Presidents Row. Also known as the PR Patriots, Row Boys or the Dead Presidents, the Patriots happeared in the wake of the fall of the Jefferson Boys, a peckerwood gang that terrorised the Row through most of the '00s, filling the vacuum left in the Row by their untimely demise. Members are all residents of the Row and have learned the lesson of the JB downfall by not shitting where they live; instead they focus on providing what people need - primarily drugs, with a sideline on selling things stolen from elsewhere in Blackmouth. They are no less violent than the JBs, but aimed at people that residents of the Row don’t care about, mostly rival dealers but also other criminals operating in the Row without their blessing, and the occasional rebellious youth who needs to be beaten back onto the straight and narrow.
