    gangs are fun until you get older and grow up.....The only problem is your lucky if you make it to the point where you realize there is so much more to life then living like your in a warzone. America has lots of opportunity for everyone and you only get 1 LIFE....you shouldn't waste your 1 LIFE being a "badass". Go enjoy what the world has to offer and be happy.

    Good for him. There's no point in joining a gang. All those homies that say they love you and that claim the gang is familia will quickly forget about you the minute you get caught up. No one will be there for you when you're facing 25 to life.

      You obviously don't know nothing about gang life little girls who don't know what they're talking about shouldn't comment on subjects they're not familiar with.....

    When a guy says he loves pain what he really means is he doesn't feel adequate about his manhood and or is incapable of making an impression using intellect

    • @BirdPlan
      @BirdPlan 6 років тому +6

      damn you stole my thoughts exactly, as soon as I heard him say that he loves pain I rolled my eyes cuz I could tell it was the biggest lie in the world. You could tell he didn't even believe his own lie so in order to make it sound more believable and to make the interviewer think he was a badass he had to throw in the last part where he says "so that should tell you something." that was the dumbest thing when you have to try to convince someone that you're tough. You nailed it perfectly when you said it's because he feels inadequate and is incapable of having an intelligent conversation

    What up Kiki. I remember u fro Stevenson my boy. We didn't get along I was from Eight Street and u fro Eazy Riders LPV. Anyways just letting u know it's an uphill battle just to get out. It's better to move out but we make it if we put our trust in JESUS CHRIST my boy. HE died for us and now that we want to live we should live for HIM. Anyways I've always respected u u were small in stature but u have a big heart I hope u find The LORD and HE shows you The Way

    I hope this guy can redeem himself god bless you brother my family lived in white fence varrio from the beginning my great grand parents lived on Bernal off sixth and lorena in the like 1910 I know a lot of the history because i listened and remembered. My family made it out in the late fifties but the memories remain. The only reason this gang culture exist the way it is today is only because of drugs heroin started it all before all that it was just a pride thing like when the teenagers went to a dance it was a flag of where you lived oh ok those are the boys from the avenues or those are the vatos from hazard, white fence etc. and if their were problemas they were usually handled man to man fist to fist. The drugs are the devil that have plagued all the Los Angeles neighborhoods and fueled what we know now as gang violence!!! Who put the drugs their is the great mystery hmmm i wonder wonder who and it wasnt the duke of earl............

    @xolotlg2199 7 років тому +9

    it was cool when gangs first started fighting to protect their community. Now you fight and protect yourself from your own blood and spread poison to youth. this is a good example so kids won't make the same mistakes.

    In the 80s these men were all over Los Angeles. If you drove down a street and they were blocking it ,. You either back up and go around. Unless you ask them nicely to move. But don't have an attitude. Wow all these old school guys from the 80s are doing time or are dead . Because they knew they would all defend themselves.
