You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.195.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 09:46, 11 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Family Values''''' is a [[graphic novel]], and  the fifth "yarn" in [[Frank Miller]]'s ''[[Sin City]]'' series. It was first published in October 1997. Unlike the previous four stories, ''Family Values'' was released as a 128-page graphic novel rather than in serialized issues that would later be collected in a trade paperback volume.

==Plot==
[[Dwight McCarthy]] is on a mission from Gail to dig up information about a recent mob hit at a small diner. After being hit on by a female cop, (who he manages to get rid of by pretending to be a [[bisexuality|bisexual]] masochist), he goes into a bar near where the hit happened and tries to charm one of the local drinkers there named Peggy.

Dwight also spots Fat Man and Little Boy, which makes his job easier later on. As Dwight keeps charming Peggy, she realizes he's not interested in any company that night and only looking for information behind the recent hit. She reveals that Bruno, the target, was killed by Vito, one of Don Magliozzi's nephews and hitmen. Don Magliozzi ordered the hit on Bruno, who murdered his beloved niece years before. This went against his family's treaty with mob boss [[Wallenquist Organization|Wallenquist]], who had Bruno on his payroll. With that information, Dwight leaves the bar, to be confronted by Vito and some other Magliozzi hitmen, alerted by Fat Man and Little Boy.

The thugs kidnap Dwight, but he is more interested in Vito's car, swearing that it will be his once he kills all of them. Uninterested, Vito brags about killing every living thing at the diner, including a stray dog. Dwight then tells [[Miho (Sin City)|Miho]], who has been following them, to strike; she kills Spinelli. They park in a hilltop rest area, overlooking the Projects. There, Miho toys with one of the hitmen as Dwight tells Vito to kill the other hitman; Vito's own brother Luca. After Miho and Dwight are through, they head straight to Sacred Oaks to confront Don Magliozzi.

As Miho massacres the guards, Dwight tells the Don he is going to die along with Vito, and reveals why: the accidental death of Carmen, one of the Old Town girls. Dwight tells them Vito shouldn't have shot at the stray dog, since the angles were in a straight line to a nearby phone booth where Carmen was calling for a ride. Carmen was killed by the gunfire. Carmen's lover, Daisy, arrives as Dwight walks away from the Don and his associates, and guns them down. Dwight remarks that the massacre will result in a mob war, but that neither he nor the girls of Old Town will have cause to worry about it. Finally, he takes possession of Vito's car and drives off into the night.

==Characters==
((expand section|date=August 2017))
*'''[[Dwight McCarthy]]''', a criminal who takes it upon himself to take on the Magliozzi clan to avenge Carmen's death. He is also the protagonist of ''[[The Big Fat Kill]]'', ''[[A Dame to Kill For]]'' and ''[[The Babe Wore Red]]'', and appears in ''[[That Yellow Bastard]]''. 
*'''[[Miho (Sin City)|Miho]]''', one of Old Town's prostitutes who is also a [[ninja]] assassin. She too appears in ''The Big Fat Kill'' and ''The Babe Wore Red''.
*'''Vito''', a mobster who kills Bruno and (accidentally) Carmen in ''Family Values''. Forced to shoot his brother Lucca. Drives Dwight and Miho to the home of his uncle, Don Giacco Magliozzi.
*'''Spinelli''', short Mafia muscle. Wears a hooded coat similar to a slicker. The first of Vito's thugs to be killed by Miho.
*'''Luca''', Vito's brother and one of Magliozzi's hitmen. Dwight forces Vito to kill him. 
*'''Vinnie''', Mafia muscle. He is incredibly racist, especially towards [[Japanese people|Japanese]].
*'''Don Giacco Magliozzi''', leader of the local Mafia, residing in Sacred Oaks. He is main antagonist [[Wallenquist Organization|Herr Alarich Wallenquist]]'s sworn enemy. The prostitute Daisy kills him at the conclusion of ''Family Values''.
*'''Carmen''', one of the Old Town Girls, portrayed in flashback. She ran away from her father's sexual abuse and began working as a prostitute in Old Town, where she fell in love with a woman named Daisy. She was killed in the crossfire when Vito shot up the diner, and inspired Dwight to take revenge.
*'''Daisy''': Carmen's lover, who massacres the Magliozzi clan at the end of the story.
*'''Peggy''': An alcoholic who supplies Dwight with information on Vito. In a flashback it is indicated she could be Bruno's wife, whom he cheated on. This would explain how she knew so much.
*'''Fat Man and Little Boy''': Two loquacious mob hitmen. They also appear in ''That Yellow Bastard''.
