- At 19 years old, David Letele was the Auckland Mongrel Mob President. When he was sentenced to a decade in jail he wanted out of the criminal and gang world. His past has taken a toll on his whānau. This is a story about transformation
this is powerful, Only real men cry.. Dave Letele is a fighter in and out of the ring, a true warrior.. huge respect for the dad on leaving the mob, not many have the balls to get out.. much love to both.
Thats mana ! Not gang life no mana in that
Very moving. Sometimes we dont realise how much of an impact our actions have on our kids.
Gang member or not.....
Every man wants to hear there Father say I LOVE YOU SON!
Hardout my father dose not talk to me anymore.if I could fix it I would.if U don't have a father U become a lost soul
Never too late to take the off ramp👌thank you for sharing mad respect.
Nice..👌Stop the patch life!💯 especially when you have family involved!😢 beautiful story Letele's!👍
Nice transformation uso. Only upwards from here. Respect 🇼🇸🙏🏾
The story is so common in NZ this is the beginning of us breaking the cycle & putting our family first
This needed to be longer fam 💚💚💚💚 god bless yous 💯💯💚
As kids we aren't responsible for our environment at home or school. We don't get to pick n choose whether our parents were taught how to be compassionate and supportive. Our ancestors have often been raised surviving just day by day. It's time like you say that we break the cycle. No matter how hard it is we need to be responsible parents first. And when we make mistakes we admit to our children, and we teach them that failure is part of life and life ain't always easy! We just need to show them hey look I didn't get it right the first time but we can choose to learn from this and grow and evolve.
Nga Mihi 🙌
It’s human to have emotions, absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Cmon dads show your boys that your allowed to cry and not to bottle things up.
Orsum korero from u both, thank u for being vulnerable and sharing yr lives with us, especially the personal and private parts that still had raw emotion going on, arohanui ki a korua me to whanau katoa 💞💖❤
Wowsers, never knew this was Buttabeans father....even while staring at the shirt David Snr. was wearing in this segment lol. Buttabeanz tears are def real and its trippy because most Poly males find it hard....to be soft when person to person.
- if that makes any sense lol
Salute on a great clip
I have so much respect for these two.
Sharing such hard and personal stuff to all us. Mad respect.
Teno rawe to mahi matua. Mauri ora

POWERFULL!!!!!!!!!!
He didn't say sorry! That's what he was waiting for!. Kia kaha.
Bless! Bless! Bless!
David you need to reassess your foundation, my nephews friend I recently met was gang beaten by a well known gang in your facility and has spent two weeks in middlemore hospital and is terrified to go back so he has cut his bracelet and on the run… wth.. he’s got a heart of gold and made a few mistakes and doesn’t want to go to jail either as he’s scared for his like to go back to your facility or jail because he said no he didn’t want to do there dirty work while in your facility.. maybe look into that.. that aside I’ve heard great reports about your facility so quite surprised to hear this story.. as rehabilitation available for anyone is definitely a positive him used to go forward.. but rehabilitation to prevent going to jail and just being there to avoid incarceration is wrong and needs to me monitored closely 😊😊
Thank you Dave for sharing your heart brother
By 17 he was sergeant of arms, wow
so great
your the man dave glad to know you
Inspirational man.
Respect usos 💯
Solid brothers.much love n respect to you both.
How do you become president of Auckland MM at 19. Anyone ?
Who decides who becomes a president ?
Dean Fitzgerald the Devil
You would'nt want to fuck with this man, deep respect for this Brother then and even now...B Block:.. took on 1, you take on the lot
Go to the pad and ask.
Better to be feared than respected that's how
Sometimes Respect gets you STAB, SHOT, or SHOT AT, USED, So Fearless no for me is measuring Friendship above Brotherhood Im Ex Pres Taranaki I face my fears by myself up against Town and Jail, I done the same as David I went back to Aucks to face 3 Top Leaders and said Im out they knew my reasons...I was the only one in B Block that kept my word out of 8 of us and we decide then that no more Mongrel Mob will never be base in the Naki again enter at your own risk as for me I had to learn to forgive to move on in life with my whanau and Mokos, yes ive get that urge to help out, then i get feeling you Trust(you are going to get burnt, ..?)so Dave Kia Kaha you are God Souljah now like so many Ex OG"s "
haha good stuff not easy for them to show how they feel but like they say they are getting better at it 👍
Both of them are fkn articulate as, doesnt surprise me that the Dad was a gang leader, you can tell he is a smart cookie
God Bless both of you. Great things are instored for both of yous😁

Because we have there mongols mc in New Zealand bro, they are in tauranga and probably many other places
