    Man, it's so dope that all these dudes, of different asian ethnicities, can sit around a table and talk so openly. Says a lot about how far we've come since the 90s. We would never be able to do this back in the day. It was the Wild Wild West. You could never go out and have fun. We would always get sweated or have some type of altercation with another group. Each asian race stuck to their own. At least in my experience growing up in LA. I lost a cousin (my best friend) to gang violence during that time. I was never the same after that.

    Brings back memories. I'm a few years older and I was hanging out with Four Seas guys when I was in SGV back around 2000. Did some time there when the TRG was in war with the hommies from south side, fortunately I was cool with everybody because someone in my cell was with EMF and he knew I'm not with TRG. Learned a lot from the bid, it's a grown up and calm your temper down lesson for sure.

    This might be a dumb question, but why doesn’t Joe want to say what Gang he was from? I’m assuming he doesn’t live in the area anymore and doesn’t affiliate with them - maybe because they still film kind of close he doesn’t want trouble? But wouldn’t old heads still in those gangs know what Gang Joe was from so they can still bother him if they want?
