[DeTomaso] New POCA Chapter

[Julian Kift]

First I've heard of all this to do and uprising in the South, did I miss something, are we headed for Civil War? Or alas is this the start of another new reality show? 
I had heard the rumors there was going to be spin off of "Sons of Anarchy", could this be it........"Sons of bitches"
