D DARK CLAN
ccasionally members of the dark clan can find them-
selves face to face with events which threaten to ex-
O pose their wicked way of life. Considered to be very
dangerous in cases like these, one of their most commonly
used tactics is to resort to overreaction in order to save them-
selves. The idea being that their aggressive and exaggerated
attitude will intimidate their opponent and divert attention
from the real issue of their guilty or criminal activities.
For example, a clan member caught selling or buying
drugs will make unfounded allegations in order to divert at-
tention away from himself, instead of admitting his guilt and
expressing remorse. Various elements of the media often play
along and soon the focus comes to rest on the irrelevant alle-
gations and slanders. The public, having been sidetracked
from the real issue, forgets who the perpetrator was and dis-
cusses side issues instead. Whilst all this is taking place, the
clan continues with business as usual.
Overkill can be in effect very intimidating and this is an-
other reason for its use. One is often hesitant about taking
people on who throw tantrums or display aggressive and
volatile behaviour, even if they know them to be wrong and
guilty. Nobody really dares to expose their lies and inconsis-
tencies. Knowing this, the dark clan often resorts to this tac-
tic. It would be a real surprise for members of the clan if
someone were to take them on in spite of their overreactions,
however, the likelihood in such a case is that rather than
backing down, they would resort to even bigger lies and dirt-
ier tricks.
