AGREED, that was some BULLSHYT... they should've STOPPED THE FILMING, instead they kept taping and didn't even edit it out, out of courtesy smh 🤦🏾♂️ DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR
When dude, said "I got you; I don't have a lot of money. I got you" I didn't feel right. That didn't sit right with my spirit. I've known dudes to go to jail and come out "just different" they wear it on their face, they been through something. The energy around dude is not a positive one. Leave all them people from your past ALONE. The story is all YOURS and only YOURS. You should be the only one getting the press, shot. Anyone else is just trying to ride the fame with you, cos they don't have a story. You made it out! You made it out.
Maaaaan this is one of the most heart-wrenching stories I've ever heard. Salute to this brother for not going nuts and making it out of the belly of the beast 💪
Spent my whole life around bullies so I'm able to recognize them quickly... baba is definitely a bully and a overall bad dude.... Vernon tried to put as much distance on that couch as possible because he's terrified of this man
To Vernon, My heart goes out to you. I am married to a strong black man who was also violated in the penal system. When I look at you, I see my son. I pray God heals you and allows your story to inspire others to heal from that type of vicious trauma. Both of you all being able to laugh and be in each other's presence is beautiful. Vernon, write your story out, it will help to heal the wounds.
Would your husband appreciate you telling his most personal business? Trusted you enough to be that vulnerable w you just for you to tell the world unwarranted. Sick woman, tell your own story.

Calling this man a goofy when describing him not taking your advice on becoming a Muslim while in prison, after all this man has done for you is messed TF up and mad disrespectful. No other way to look at it. Put some respect on this man’s name.
@@BIGGEST5LATT yea ppl dont understand Vernon a grown man and could have chose a different path . He was a sheep trying to hang with wolves but never became one. So they might have love for dude but it’s a certain level of respect he won’t receive from the peer group he chose because he’s just ain’t like them .
@@rjm__I’ll never understand a black man becoming a Muslim. muhammed hated Black ppl and was one of the biggest slave traders when it comes tot he African slave trade. Christianity started in the Middle East and went to Africa so Black ppl are some of the earliest Christians. It wasn’t forced on them either. Jesus traveled to Africa many times. Btw, Middle Easterns and Black ppl were Christians way before White ppl.
This is insane. Vernon came from a privileged two parent home, had a pathway to the military and still wanted to participate in crime based on what other ppl thought. This other dude is a predator and these are the elder men in the Black community. These men probably had children. Half a century old. This is sick.
This is the most heartbreaking story I have ever heard. The manipulation between Eric and also the interviewers are horrible. Saying that “I got you “ at the end as if that was sincere at all. They asked him stupid questions and kept embarrassing him. Tasteless interview. Praying for his healing and strength he was truly a man who just made some bad decisions by connecting with the wrong people
Baba Shaka a snake. I’m telling you. He a predator. You can see it all over him. Real punk. Shot HIS FRIEND cause he couldn’t beat him in a fist fight but beat up on Vernon…I’m mad as hell watching this
Man when he said he smacked him in the dominoes game and got mad that vernon fought back, so he beat him up worse i knew he was a snake. How you call yourself toughing him up and then get mad when he start to defend himself. But still to this day you can tell he looks at him like the same square smh.
When Baba sat next to Vernon, he felt uncomfortable. Baba instantly showed him how he feels about him now. Baba made his point to call him a busta, slow, etc. Baba is lame for beating that mans face in knowing he wasn't a fighter. Baba is one of those folks. Shout out to you, Vernon. If you dont want to exploit your story, dont just help his broke self out.
Hey Vernon! Just know that you have someone out here rooting for you. Thanks for being courageous enough to tell your story. Keep pushing forward, I'm praying for you and your future! Stay up...
This was hard to watch. This man was violated, refused to take the man’s life and then attacked because he was violated and refused to retaliate. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I hope this reach some of the young boys out here being a menace! Chin up and keep pushing brother!!!
There are those who are laughing at your story. But the God they will see his glory through you lil brotha ... Thanks for not being ashamed. You did a bad thing and paid for it. But you are not a bad person, God Bless You.
@@VernonMiller-kk4zm reach out to wallo of million dollars worth of game with gillie and wallo! He was in jail at a young age and is a great mentor and all-round person tryingto keep the young peopleout of jail! Try set up getting on his podcast you 2 could do alot for the youth together!! Hope you good bro all the way from Ireland.
my exact thoughts for real. And honestly Baba Shaka is just as much a buster as he feels Vernon is. He said he's a buster, a square, then talking about oh I beat em up cause he said something slick. Nigga felt he had an advantage and he used Vernon.
Right. & even his spirit seems so much brighter than that “Baba” person. Baba is such a term of endearment, he shows no attributes befitting of that honor.
I feel sorry for Vernon all the way around. From the beginning all he wanted to do was to fit in, went to prison because of it, got beat up badly by his “friend” over pretty much nothing, stood solid and didn’t tell, his reward from that was to only get his mother extorted, got raped, beat up, stabbed in prison, and wasted 25 years of his life trying to be something he never was. Sad ass story man! Teach your kids that it’s ok to be by yourself if their friends aren’t good people.
shit made me upset. dude kept it solid and all these fake rappers out here living da life. & dude said earlier, why rape someone who not gay when its fruits all throughout the pen.
Vernon IF YOU SEE THIS PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM Baba HE IS STILL USING YOU! PLEASE TAKE HEED TO WHAT IM SAYING HE WILL TAKE MONEY AND EVERYTHING PLEASE GET AWAY YOU CAN TELL YOUR STORY WITHOUT HIM!
@jovanconstant6007 Baba is so disrespectful riding Vernon coattail on this interview!! I wouldn’t let him be on not one more interview! He is so not needed!!
Yes, I really get bad vibes from him. You were surrounded by snakes. Please, pray for God to give you discernment about the people around you. And give yourself a chance at a better life. With wife and kids included. You are strong Vernon more than you know. You are more man than a lot of them out here. Praying for you. ❤❤
Extremely heartbreaking! Especially to see the big guy still manipulating him and disrespecting him to his face. This is so sad is so many ways. Also it was beyond courageous to tell what happened to him and not succumb to it! Great interview
These men took advantage of him intimidating him to rob banks then he's taken advantage of in prison how disgusting. Yes, he could've said no, but at what cost? Did he ever send him money on his books after doing a favor for him. He should've got that man that did that to him touched instead of talking about it. And why is he talking about him like he not there light weight embarrasses him. This is heart breaking. God bless both of these men.
Man looking at Vernon he reminds me of my friend((not homeboy))a close friend,,he was soft spoken and would help anybody out any tone he can..Well he just deleted his wife and got 40/Life,,he's never been a fighter and now he's in prison getting ready to go to a bigger person((Angola))state penitentiary,1 of the worst prisons..I just hope he makes it in there.
Vernon told everyone how terrified he is, he psychologically went into a cage and closed the door out of fear, where he won't even defend himself. There was a book one time that said two people were getting on a bus, the one person got on the front of the bus, and the other person got on the bus, but saw all the seats in the back full, so he psychologically made a backseat in his mind, in order to sit on the bus. The way Vernon's body language got smaller and smaller, and leaned the opposite way, people need to look at kid's body language when an adult walks in the room, does the behavior, body language completely change when the adult enters and exits the room?
Vernon did good in his interview. I just wish the interviewer was more compassionate as someone who has their degree in psychology actually feels like he tried to make him feel less than he was because of what he been through to me a man ask another man how he felt while getting R worded seems more suspect to me
This story absolutely broke my heart. I sense Vernon being on the spectrum and Eric still being a street dude who’s cunning and manipulative! Vernon just go live your regular life as a car salesman, marry yourself a beautiful wife, and have more kids. Pls get all the way away from that snake who’s never been in the grass. Lastly I’m praying for you deeply and for financial security. Also thank you for your service. Keep pushing
@@logicalmalethink4925 . The guy is not actually being “pitiful” though. It’s a lot of people/Men in particular, that’s silent but has a very similar story. It could go. I bet his book would do numbers.
Pure manipulation. I'm highly upset hearing someone got SA and your socalled friend co defendant who you stayed solid for so he could go free...just for his stupid ungrateful ass to end up going to prison anyway...that's crazy... Vernon get away from that dude. I don't remember him thanking or apologizing to Vernon for what happened to him.
Yeah man ❤ it's a way bigger problem than some people realize 😢 this happens heaps to men not in jail. I used to do phone lines and so many boys and men rung in. It was heartbreaking. It's a totally different beast then working with women. Some said it was easier talking to a lady stranger about it because I don't know him at all.
@@logicalmalethink4925 oh ok that's the thing, keeping trauma bottled up is ticking life bomb. Did you see my comment? Men and women most definitely do want to talk about it. get shamed like they're the purp 😳 attitudes like yours stop them.
25 years.. smh Vernon got the biggest heart , wish him many blessings, ain't 2 many people still standing strong enough to do what he did. 💪💪 💯 💯 💯 ...
This interview is awkward. Childhood trauma is real. Vernon is still a scared little kid even at 50. Being a nerd and a veteran was cool. I wish he never tried to be down
Only at the beginning and when that dude sat next to him , Vernon closed up and looked very troubled. Vernon was in the wrong situation with real garbage people.
Imma need Vernon to grow a backbone. His parents failed him by not teaching him to stand up for himself at a young age. Sitting and laughing with the dude who beat you up... after already being r@ped [multiple times] in prison... for doing a crime you were talked into by some bullies... following a military discharge for doing stupid shit 😮💨 Dude gotta be on the spectrum or something. High functioning.
I'm sorry, too many nuances to just blame the parents. His mom and dad split, how you know his father wasn't a weakling and his mama can't teach him toughness. I'd have to no more about them to come to a logical conclusion.
I am praying that Vernon is loosed from that demon that sat beside him on that couch. I am praying for his prosperity and protection. He seems like he’s somewhere on the spectrum. Which is heartbreaking that he went there all of this. Aside from that… This interview was horrible. Not his story per se. His story is cautionary tale for sure. But because of the way it was conducted. I don’t feel like ANYONE really had Vernons best interests at heart. Shameful. You definitely lost a subscriber.
Some of these questions are dumb and borderline disrespectful. He asked what was going through his mind after he was raped. Smh. You asked a grown man that? What would have been going through your mind?
Interviewer: "Do you consider him gay" Me. YES!! ANY man who can become sexually aroused and violate another MAN is gay. I don't care WHERE they are. Some men do decades and never touch another man they have resorted to dating Palmela and her 5 sisters. Men who violate other men are deviant predators with no type of self discipline or control. I got a little irritated with Eric because I feel like he's exploiting this man (his story) especially about the r*pe. If a woman had been through a r*pe ppl would be very careful about how they approached a conversation about what happened to her. Eric had no compassion in his conversation about what happened to Vernon. This is HARD for A LOT of men to speak about after it happens. I applaud this guy and hopefully someone sees this and it changes their path.
Didn't he tell you to cut why keep filming!!! Also, Larry played you both, he knew what he was doing by staying off camera. Appreciate you for being transparent about what happen to you in prison, to school these youngins out here in the streets.
Here it is right here. You said alot man. Based on Vernon's upbringing he probably could of been involved in a great career, married, had kids, lived a great life but trying to be loyal to the streets backfired on him and he missed most of his life behind this.
He's scared of jail/Prison. I would of stabbed this ninja right there mid-interview!!!! You already got raped, ain't nothing worse than that Vernon should be on savage mode right now!!!
The interview was emotional because he really is harmless and doesn't mean no harm to nobody. I commend him for coming on here to open up that wound. Now as far as the interview goes, Larry was a snake! I am just glad to know Vernon is alive. FYI: just my take and opinion so please don't take offense to my comment but I think you guys that interviewed Vernon, kept touching too much on his sexual trauma in prison. He mentioned a one time occurrence but yet you guys kept bringing it up over and over and over to keep making him replay that moment. I only mention it because that was not the main focus of the interview. I am not a man but I know men do not handle these things very well. They usually do not speak on it, because it brings forth shame and just messes with their mental. You guys spoke on that moment of his being violated at least 10 times, OVERKILL, we got it. Just some constructive criticism. I am a subscriber and I do support this channel. Keep up the good work.
I agree 1000%! Definitely overkill for the SA part. They are very disgusting with their questioning with any topic that has even the slightest sexual mentioning amongst many of their guests and try to drag that individuals trauma out I’ve noticed. They are very insensitive smh.
They are bozos and weirdos so they dont understand it's disgusting, disrespectful, and inconsiderate to keep dwelling on the SA matter. Some people will do anything for click bait.
Vernon thank you for bringing attention to a topic that isn’t talked about often. I appreciate your transparency and honesty. Sending you a hug and prayers!!
Soooo not ok. This old ssa bully is sitting up on a public platform making jokes about bullying a clearly soft hearted person … Ewww this mess isn’t funny.
I just want to cry 😢watching this! Mr.Vernon always keep your head up! You was born a man and always will be!I salute you for telling/standing in your truth! You didn’t deserve none of what you went through! I hate even watching prison movies! It discusses me what men do and go through in there! And feel bad for the ones who are not strong enough to be there!!!1
It really bothers me that that in the black community SA among men is seen as comical. Movies portray predators in lighthearted way. There is nothing funny about predators or their actions. This behavior should not be tolerated or justified.
Movies portray anything bad that happens to men as comical. Getting beat up slapped, robbed and killed. But anytging that happens to a woman is serious
Bless You Vernon and I pray you will come to Christ 💗. Sitting here listening to you speak and watching your facial expressions not only are you loyal ..you are forgiving. Says a lot about you and your upbringing. We are Jacob (Israel) and i pray that you will heal from your wounds.
Vernon needs an International Passport to get away from the US - BS. Any direct information for Zelle that will go directly to Vernon’s account. Thanks for your courage to share your life with the world.
Before he sat down, Vernon made plenty of space without keeping a respectable amount of space for himself! That’s why Fathers play such an important role! I don’t know Vernon’s situation but he must not have learned how to retain respect as a man.
@@vperez2598He’s a survivor of sa. There is this thing called ptsd and you expect him to maintain in this situation. Please be more mindful of the trauma he’s endured.
Im so happy to see a black channel. Conducting great interviews with our people, our stories. Keeping the money 🤑💰 in blacks pockets. I love this and love this channel. B1 FBA Georgia 💯👏🏾
The body language is so telling both when Vernon is alone and especially when big boy came on the scene. *Please recognize the difference between toxic and positive masculinity*
Vernon’s mannerisms once this “Eric” sat down is telling. Vernon became extremely uncomfortable with this “Eric’s” presence almost child like. Vernon messing with the couch etc. this Eric “Baba” individual still has Vernon in a mental chokehold. This “Baba” character has played Vernon and continues to do it on this couch. It’s shameful how we mentally destroy one another. These two men are two different individuals. Vernon was “groomed” as this so called “Baba” Eric said. Vernon thank you for sharing your story I pray it reaches the right youth who need to hear this . Side note: Eric is definitely no “Baba” even in the slightest as he has demonstrated NOTHING a “Baba” is defined to do!
@@officialsoufsideslim2352if he would have retaliated he would still be in prison instead of being free and he still got fucked so he did the right thing jail ain’t for him really ain’t for nobody

I miss the days when you had to go to school to be a journalist etc. Now all you need is lights and mic. The interviewer was very insensitive and was almost making a mockery of what happend. He also asked alot of irrelevant questions. However it was important for young men to here Vernon's story.

On route to get an associate degree in prison, dat man far from slow.. military aspirations.. nah, dat man far from slow.. I seen this, he dumbing his self down to fit the people he be around.. look how he shells up when buddy sit beside him.. dats a posture saying “I got knowledge, but I better keep it to myself”..
@LilheadPrezident you may be right. But I don't think so. Any time you do something to impress someone who is not worth your while, something is wrong with you. I'm from New York, that doesn't make me better or badder than anyone, it is just a place where you have to fight for any and everything. If you don't you are going to get taken advantage of . I was In the service also. They teach you life long messages. I had to do some things to people to let them know I'm not the weakest leak. One of your greatest weapons is your brain. Use it to defeat, to manipulate, to get ahead in life, to shift the odds in your favor. If you are slow you won't be able to do that. Most bully's are scared, if you hit a bully bk and hit him hard ,usually you'll have no more problems from that person. At least they will think twice about confronting you again.
Vernon I can speak for everyone when I say that you are an amazing person for putting it all out there so people can get the real truth about prison and not some bullshit. I myself I nothing but respect for you. You are an inspiration to others and real stand up dude. Thank You for telling your story. A lot of people needed to hear it.
Unfortunately, I know people like this!!! I went to high school with them and lived in the same neighborhood. My dad says to watch how they will turn out in the future (Just like the father in the "Boyz N the Hood Movie.") My dad was 100% correct! I was visiting my parents a few years back. My mom was getting the mail and asked me to come outside. She said is that one of your former classmates. I said no. My brother came to the front and said, Yeah...you know him. That's Frank! I looked back and said no, that can't be him. He looked way older and drunk, lying in the doorway of a building...talking to himself. My brother stated Frank went to jail for selling illegal substances. He was hanging with the wrong group of people and wanted that fast money. My brother stated a couple guys that was in jail with Frank, around the same time..stated Frank got jumped and "R**ed" by three inmates. They kept coming back at him on and off during his prison stay. My brother stated everyone in the neighborhood knows, and they make fun of him. So, Frank just walked the streets drunk and high. I felt sorry for the guy. Most of the guys I know from back in the day ended up unalive, in prison, brain-fried on illegal substances, or still living in their parent's house. It's ALWAYS the knuckleheads that think this crap will not happen to them. That guy Baba is NOT his friend and is using him. Both of those guys used him, and he allowed it to happen because he wanted to fit him. The same is true regarding Frank and all the followers in jail.

He would have been protected by the Muslims in there and wouldn’t have had had the issues …
He woulda been protected if he was Muslim in prison
@@BIGGEST5LATT yea ppl dont understand Vernon a grown man and could have chose a different path . He was a sheep trying to hang with wolves but never became one. So they might have love for dude but it’s a certain level of respect he won’t receive from the peer group he chose because he’s just ain’t like them .
@@rjm__I’ll never understand a black man becoming a Muslim. muhammed hated Black ppl and was one of the biggest slave traders when it comes tot he African slave trade. Christianity started in the Middle East and went to Africa so Black ppl are some of the earliest Christians. It wasn’t forced on them either. Jesus traveled to Africa many times. Btw, Middle Easterns and Black ppl were Christians way before White ppl.
This is insane. Vernon came from a privileged two parent home, had a pathway to the military and still wanted to participate in crime based on what other ppl thought. This other dude is a predator and these are the elder men in the Black community. These men probably had children. Half a century old. This is sick.
😮
This is the most heartbreaking story I have ever heard. The manipulation between Eric and also the interviewers are horrible. Saying that “I got you “ at the end as if that was sincere at all. They asked him stupid questions and kept embarrassing him. Tasteless interview. Praying for his healing and strength he was truly a man who just made some bad decisions by connecting with the wrong people
Baba Shaka a snake. I’m telling you. He a predator. You can see it all over him. Real punk. Shot HIS FRIEND cause he couldn’t beat him in a fist fight but beat up on Vernon…I’m mad as hell watching this
Fr straight up hoe got picks n chooses u can tell seen and ran cross plenty like him !
😂nigga Larry the one who bullied him and snitch on both of them fam
💯💯💯
Man when he said he smacked him in the dominoes game and got mad that vernon fought back, so he beat him up worse i knew he was a snake. How you call yourself toughing him up and then get mad when he start to defend himself. But still to this day you can tell he looks at him like the same square smh.
Great point. They should have asked about that
How long did it take you to physically recover question was utterly ridiculous
This whole interview is out of order. The fact that you brought that man out on this interview is despicable.
FACTZ
He agree to do the interview
Very much so.
Agree🎯💯🎯💯
When Baba sat next to Vernon, he felt uncomfortable. Baba instantly showed him how he feels about him now. Baba made his point to call him a busta, slow, etc. Baba is lame for beating that mans face in knowing he wasn't a fighter. Baba is one of those folks. Shout out to you, Vernon. If you dont want to exploit your story, dont just help his broke self out.
Yessss!!
Facts like WTF
He’s a damn bully!
That’s how street dude’s get down
Facts! Still using him! Bet he knew all about the rape plot before it happened!
Hey Vernon! Just know that you have someone out here rooting for you. Thanks for being courageous enough to tell your story. Keep pushing forward, I'm praying for you and your future! Stay up...
I’m happy he got out n got another chance to live his life. He reminds me of my uncle. Smart, sharp and easy going.
Wish this Man the Best!!
This was hard to watch. This man was violated, refused to take the man’s life and then attacked because he was violated and refused to retaliate. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I hope this reach some of the young boys out here being a menace! Chin up and keep pushing brother!!!
There are those who are laughing at your story. But the God they will see his glory through you lil brotha ... Thanks for not being ashamed. You did a bad thing and paid for it. But you are not a bad person, God Bless You.

my exact thoughts for real. And honestly Baba Shaka is just as much a buster as he feels Vernon is. He said he's a buster, a square, then talking about oh I beat em up cause he said something slick. Nigga felt he had an advantage and he used Vernon.
Right. & even his spirit seems so much brighter than that “Baba” person. Baba is such a term of endearment, he shows no attributes befitting of that honor.
Facts 😢
He’s still scared.
Literally!!!
This dude Baka is pimpin him.. “our story” but he’s the main one with the story to tell.. this dude is a vampire and is eating off Vernon
Black ppl our own worse enemy
I feel sorry for Vernon all the way around. From the beginning all he wanted to do was to fit in, went to prison because of it, got beat up badly by his “friend” over pretty much nothing, stood solid and didn’t tell, his reward from that was to only get his mother extorted, got raped, beat up, stabbed in prison, and wasted 25 years of his life trying to be something he never was. Sad ass story man! Teach your kids that it’s ok to be by yourself if their friends aren’t good people.
shit made me upset. dude kept it solid and all these fake rappers out here living da life.
& dude said earlier, why rape someone who not gay when its fruits all throughout the pen.
+virgins tend to not have 🦠 and prison is infested!
Why u hating on the rappers tho?? Don't be mad because they found a way to make it
The helllllll rappers got anything to do with these Two and their bankrobbin/rape story ...lol.... you wish u could rap huh..?. Lol
In some cases it's about power and in some it's about something new. Tons of people in life are evil and prison clusters a lot of them together.

Vernon needs to have so self control and stay away from this 👹👹👹👹, Vernon needs a good mentor even at 50 , he is still childlike, bless his heart
Yes, I really get bad vibes from him. You were surrounded by snakes. Please, pray for God to give you discernment about the people around you. And give yourself a chance at a better life. With wife and kids included. You are strong Vernon more than you know. You are more man than a lot of them out here. Praying for you. ❤❤
Extremely heartbreaking! Especially to see the big guy still manipulating him and disrespecting him to his face. This is so sad is so many ways. Also it was beyond courageous to tell what happened to him and not succumb to it! Great interview
Looks like 1 grew up
These men took advantage of him intimidating him to rob banks then he's taken advantage of in prison how disgusting. Yes, he could've said no, but at what cost? Did he ever send him money on his books after doing a favor for him. He should've got that man that did that to him touched instead of talking about it. And why is he talking about him like he not there light weight embarrasses him. This is heart breaking. God bless both of these men.
Man looking at Vernon he reminds me of my friend((not homeboy))a close friend,,he was soft spoken and would help anybody out any tone he can..Well he just deleted his wife and got 40/Life,,he's never been a fighter and now he's in prison getting ready to go to a bigger person((Angola))state penitentiary,1 of the worst prisons..I just hope he makes it in there.

@@logicalmalethink4925You’re one of those guy who get angry when they see someone weak.
Poor Vernon, taking advantage of him is awful. Vernon looked nervous too😢
Are you really a withch? If so, are you a good one or a bad one?
He was having flashbacks. He definitely has PTSD.
Vernon told everyone how terrified he is, he psychologically went into a cage and closed the door out of fear, where he won't even defend himself. There was a book one time that said two people were getting on a bus, the one person got on the front of the bus, and the other person got on the bus, but saw all the seats in the back full, so he psychologically made a backseat in his mind, in order to sit on the bus. The way Vernon's body language got smaller and smaller, and leaned the opposite way, people need to look at kid's body language when an adult walks in the room, does the behavior, body language completely change when the adult enters and exits the room?
God bless vernon baba yiu are evil sitting here disrezpecting him abd ignoring the fact that the man is literally scared
@@MyOpinionNow2024 Exactly
Vernon did good in his interview. I just wish the interviewer was more compassionate as someone who has their degree in psychology actually feels like he tried to make him feel less than he was because of what he been through to me a man ask another man how he felt while getting R worded seems more suspect to me
This story absolutely broke my heart. I sense Vernon being on the spectrum and Eric still being a street dude who’s cunning and manipulative! Vernon just go live your regular life as a car salesman, marry yourself a beautiful wife, and have more kids. Pls get all the way away from that snake who’s never been in the grass. Lastly I’m praying for you deeply and for financial security. Also thank you for your service. Keep pushing
Eric is a horrible person. He’s still taking advantage of Vernon. Eric is lying about the money that he was getting too…
Making a 20k $ one roll bet and making the man pay up. So Vernon was robbing banks for literal PEANUTS.
Vernon could pass him up on this internet shid. People don’t like Eric but they are automatically drawn to Vernon.

Pure manipulation. I'm highly upset hearing someone got SA and your socalled friend co defendant who you stayed solid for so he could go free...just for his stupid ungrateful ass to end up going to prison anyway...that's crazy... Vernon get away from that dude. I don't remember him thanking or apologizing to Vernon for what happened to him.
Talking about selling our story. Vernon has his own story while Eric was free. Eric bullied Vernon into that whole mess.
Hearing Eric in the background trying to help this man explain his prison experiences made me mad. I'm like just shut up.🤬

Yes. I can’t stand to even hear him talk. Devil Wolf everything.
Vernon stayed solid the dude next to him is a predator PLAIN AND SIMPLE! His family failed him.
Vernon's openness about his experience will hopefully help a lot of survivors build up strength to speak out & not be ashamed
Yeah man ❤ it's a way bigger problem than some people realize 😢 this happens heaps to men not in jail. I used to do phone lines and so many boys and men rung in. It was heartbreaking. It's a totally different beast then working with women. Some said it was easier talking to a lady stranger about it because I don't know him at all.

Extremely disgusting I almost couldn’t watch it
VERY. Just DISGUSTING!
Yeah and bruh is so meek and mild demeanored that the energy just feels like the Eric dude might still have him under duress.
Exactly what I was thinking
Yep! This the bank robbing days all over again. Fatboy knows Vernon is the real story & he tryin to mooch! All that "I gotchyou my brutha"🤬
25 years.. smh Vernon got the biggest heart , wish him many blessings, ain't 2 many people still standing strong enough to do what he did. 💪💪 💯 💯 💯 ...
This interview is awkward. Childhood trauma is real. Vernon is still a scared little kid even at 50. Being a nerd and a veteran was cool. I wish he never tried to be down
Only at the beginning and when that dude sat next to him , Vernon closed up and looked very troubled. Vernon was in the wrong situation with real garbage people.
I noticed that too.
And they took advantage of his vunerability.God take control and watch your son please❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

And he looked so uncomfortable when Baba first came out
Agreed 💯💯
Man, Stfu. The interviewer is not a psychologist or a doctor. He's not trained to know how to ask a man r*pe questions.
He even asked him what he thought the man who raped him was thinking 🤔
Imma need Vernon to grow a backbone. His parents failed him by not teaching him to stand up for himself at a young age. Sitting and laughing with the dude who beat you up... after already being r@ped [multiple times] in prison... for doing a crime you were talked into by some bullies... following a military discharge for doing stupid shit 😮💨 Dude gotta be on the spectrum or something. High functioning.
And "baba" means father in swahili. That demon doesn't deserve that name... His karma is soon coming 👿
I'm sorry, too many nuances to just blame the parents. His mom and dad split, how you know his father wasn't a weakling and his mama can't teach him toughness. I'd have to no more about them to come to a logical conclusion.
Dude is a true hater and no rights to tell his story bc its not his. He sneaked dissed to much and over talked him, red flags! Prayers to dude.
Baba calling Vernon a crash dumby while sitting next to him is wild.
Yeah prime example a nucca ain’t $hit no cap 🧢 🤦🏽♂️
I feel sorry for Vernon cause he never learned to have self-confidence and self-respect as a man
😂😂😂
Lol facts he was treating him😂
Vernon needs to get away from that no good mf. He's still a bully. Ɓaɓa
Troy Ave said it best - "Streets is a myth."
It’s not yall story, it’s his.. your just a character in it..don’t let him use you for his come up..he’s some shit
I am praying that Vernon is loosed from that demon that sat beside him on that couch. I am praying for his prosperity and protection.
He seems like he’s somewhere on the spectrum. Which is heartbreaking that he went there all of this.
Aside from that…
This interview was horrible. Not his story per se. His story is cautionary tale for sure.
But because of the way it was conducted.
I don’t feel like ANYONE really had Vernons best interests at heart. Shameful.
You definitely lost a subscriber.
Some of these questions are dumb and borderline disrespectful. He asked what was going through his mind after he was raped. Smh. You asked a grown man that? What would have been going through your mind?

Interviewer: "Do you consider him gay"
Me. YES!! ANY man who can become sexually aroused and violate another MAN is gay. I don't care WHERE they are. Some men do decades and never touch another man they have resorted to dating Palmela and her 5 sisters. Men who violate other men are deviant predators with no type of self discipline or control.
I got a little irritated with Eric because I feel like he's exploiting this man (his story) especially about the r*pe.
If a woman had been through a r*pe ppl would be very careful about how they approached a conversation about what happened to her. Eric had no compassion in his conversation about what happened to Vernon. This is HARD for A LOT of men to speak about after it happens. I applaud this guy and hopefully someone sees this and it changes their path.
Didn't he tell you to cut why keep filming!!! Also, Larry played you both, he knew what he was doing by staying off camera. Appreciate you for being transparent about what happen to you in prison, to school these youngins out here in the streets.
Dude a coward
Damn man Vernon missed out on most of his life tryna prove a point to people who didn’t give af about him
Here it is right here. You said alot man. Based on Vernon's upbringing he probably could of been involved in a great career, married, had kids, lived a great life but trying to be loyal to the streets backfired on him and he missed most of his life behind this.
Oh brother my worst fear😢 this world rip my brother 2024😢❤

You can tell he’s still scared of Eric..and they took complete advantage of this man back then I bet he was intimidated into not telling.
Of course
He's scared of jail/Prison. I would of stabbed this ninja right there mid-interview!!!! You already got raped, ain't nothing worse than that Vernon should be on savage mode right now!!!
Vernon was saying a couple hundred so he was getting screwed out of the robberies real bad
Honestly, they hated Vernon
Jealousy breeds hate and resentment!
The interview was emotional because he really is harmless and doesn't mean no harm to nobody. I commend him for coming on here to open up that wound. Now as far as the interview goes, Larry was a snake! I am just glad to know Vernon is alive. FYI: just my take and opinion so please don't take offense to my comment but I think you guys that interviewed Vernon, kept touching too much on his sexual trauma in prison. He mentioned a one time occurrence but yet you guys kept bringing it up over and over and over to keep making him replay that moment. I only mention it because that was not the main focus of the interview. I am not a man but I know men do not handle these things very well. They usually do not speak on it, because it brings forth shame and just messes with their mental. You guys spoke on that moment of his being violated at least 10 times, OVERKILL, we got it. Just some constructive criticism. I am a subscriber and I do support this channel. Keep up the good work.
I agree 1000%! Definitely overkill for the SA part. They are very disgusting with their questioning with any topic that has even the slightest sexual mentioning amongst many of their guests and try to drag that individuals trauma out I’ve noticed. They are very insensitive smh.
Life is not for the weak
They are bozos and weirdos so they dont understand it's disgusting, disrespectful, and inconsiderate to keep dwelling on the SA matter. Some people will do anything for click bait.
man cuh these tha ones u gotta watch for.
The title is literally that tho

Vernon’s mannerisms once this “Eric” sat down is telling. Vernon became extremely uncomfortable with this “Eric’s” presence almost child like. Vernon messing with the couch etc. this Eric “Baba” individual still has Vernon in a mental chokehold. This “Baba” character has played Vernon and continues to do it on this couch. It’s shameful how we mentally destroy one another. These two men are two different individuals. Vernon was “groomed” as this so called “Baba” Eric said.

@LilheadPrezident you may be right. But I don't think so. Any time you do something to impress someone who is not worth your while, something is wrong with you. I'm from New York, that doesn't make me better or badder than anyone, it is just a place where you have to fight for any and everything. If you don't you are going to get taken advantage of . I was In the service also. They teach you life long messages. I had to do some things to people to let them know I'm not the weakest leak. One of your greatest weapons is your brain. Use it to defeat, to manipulate, to get ahead in life, to shift the odds in your favor. If you are slow you won't be able to do that. Most bully's are scared, if you hit a bully bk and hit him hard ,usually you'll have no more problems from that person. At least they will think twice about confronting you again.
Vernon I can speak for everyone when I say that you are an amazing person for putting it all out there so people can get the real truth about prison and not some bullshit.

Unfortunately, I know people like this!!! I went to high school with them and lived in the same neighborhood. My dad says to watch how they will turn out in the future (Just like the father in the "Boyz N the Hood Movie.") My dad was 100% correct! I was visiting my parents a few years back. My mom was getting the mail and asked me to come outside. She said is that one of your former classmates. I said no. My brother came to the front and said, Yeah...you know him. That's Frank! I looked back and said no, that can't be him. He looked way older and drunk, lying in the doorway of a building...talking to himself. My brother stated Frank went to jail for selling illegal substances. He was hanging with the wrong group of people and wanted that fast money. My brother stated a couple guys that was in jail with Frank, around the same time..stated Frank got jumped and "R**ed" by three inmates. They kept coming back at him on and off during his prison stay. My brother stated everyone in the neighborhood knows, and they make fun of him. So, Frank just walked the streets drunk and high. I felt sorry for the guy. Most of the guys I know from back in the day ended up unalive, in prison, brain-fried on illegal substances, or still living in their parent's house. It's ALWAYS the knuckleheads that think this crap will not happen to them. That guy Baba is NOT his friend and is using him. Both of those guys used him, and he allowed it to happen because he wanted to fit him. The same is true regarding Frank and all the followers in jail.
My heart goes out to Vernon, this is a deeply disturbing situation and I applaud his bravery and courage to tell his story.
