    Chester native transplanted to Philly (and now parts beyond)... I met a lot of nerdy suburban kids in college, and you remind me of a lot of them. They got the respect of my hometown friends because they were always chill and real. They didn't act all weird and hyper like 'OMG I'm hanging with the tough kids, lookit me!' They had the right amount of respect with their curiosities, and they knew when it was time to mind your own business, and when it was OK to ask what questions. We weren't badasses or anything, but growing up in rough neighborhoods you meet all kinds. Also you're all packed in so closely, you learn how to delicately handle shady people and situations, because you've got to live with these people. You can't be going around giving people the evil eye or walk up to someone with a bravado of superiority. Much respect for what you do, please keep bringing these conditions to light. Maybe one day Philly can come back from all this. I miss my city. 😞

They always say that CO's have it hard on the other side, but I guess if you give respect, you get respect back, and that carries over. It's awesome that those guys who knew him as a guard, had his back when he became an inmate.

You show sides of the hood that regular America don't see and you let the people explain how and why they are the way that they are. To me that's REAL journalism. Big Dogs Gotta Eat!!

I mean I was at the Diamond Street projects, PHA projects & all that. But in the past few years, a lot has changed. You wont CATCH me in philly unless I absolutely have to. Nowadays people/kids are doing crimes like robbing & shooting in broad daylight AND IN FRONT OF THE POLICE. People have no fear of death or jail anymore In philly. The police make it no better because there will literally be a shootout a block away from a police station & they wont act on it until the gun fire stops because they dont want to lose their lives anymore. Its really crazy out there because people just dont care. And dont get me started on the catalytic converters !

      ​@thasinfunii4765 I see where you're coming from but I think it comes down to having a strong role model to look up to in childhood. It's never too late though to find a truly good role model to model your own life after. Some people get lost in a cycle of survival that isn't healthy or good for them or others.

It was because he was so humble and well liked that he was able to get all that money up out of people. MADF was the trading symbol of him company. I had coffee mugs, beach towels and all kinds of shit with MADF on it. He was a pretty cool dude, but at the end of the day he was money hungry and took advantage of people that trusted him.
