What Does “Dead at Home” Mean to Gang Members Who Are BUSY and VERY ACTIVE and ALIVE in Public?

I think it means I’m supposed to be left alone, not bothered. Not even for money. In the 1970s I got kidnapped from home and used to help HOW MANY PEOPLE GET WORK IN THE U.S.? HOW MANY? And how many were TOLD by a leadership person: “There won’t be a second payment. Don’t come back and ask.”
