8:14 "For me, I loved the color blue and they wore blue." It's so sad to see that he had so much youth and innocence. He was so young that he was choosing gangs based on his favorite colors.
Yea too bad it was most likely BS. He blames the government, white people, etc., just never himself or the culture he was raised in. He even referred to his mother as a strong single mother. He's delusional and a perma-victim like any other prior gang member.
Man it’s touching when he starts talking about his 45:11 daughter “daddy you look stuck” seems like he hasn’t forgotten that face and that voice when he heard that from her
It is wild to hear these intense life stories from guys who seem so kind. The dude from MS-13 is describing these horrible situations with such a calm and grandfatherly voice. It's nice to hear about them turning their lives around, but it's also a real testament to how sad this situation is where people can get swept up in these lifestyles that turn otherwise kind people into criminals and killers. As shown here, a different set of circumstances as they'd never have been that person they used to be.
I don't know about that last part. People always find a way to express their evils in myriad ways. I'd rather think that it's because they fell to the lowest rungs of life and violence that they are who they are, not in spite of it. Not to glorify these lifestyles in any way, but people can fall in any walk of life. People can also rise in any walk of life. Glory be to Jesus Christ.
When you have been exposed to atrocity and death for a given period of time, you learn how fragile life (and the human body) actually is. One begins to speak in softer tones and look at flowers while enjoying the company of kittens. Yet, rest assured if that seemingly soft old man is crossed, one may discover the monster that once lived in that body. Just as the Ol'e Marine General once said "Be kind to everyone you meet,... And, have a plan to kill them if nessasary". They are kind and gentle, because they choose to be. Think about it...
Not all. I know some who are very trustworthy, ethical and who have actually become law officers because they wanted to help people. And they do - every day.

That’s facts, my boi’s father is the founder of Latin kings, he’s father is serving 3 life sentences 😩 but writes disciplinary action to other chapters to those who violates. My boi built motors and tune cars and hate Folks lol (Forever over Latin kings)

Im the Daughter of an Hells Angel. Now that im grown. I realized He was just simply more dedicated to them,than he was us. We were around things as kids NO human should ever have to witness.
I completely know. Fully well. I was raised around them as my mom's dad did work for them but he wouldn't join them. My mom, uncle and my other cousins and myself and my brother when we got old enough we all seen and went through things nobody ever should. Then I got in a 3 1/2 year relationship with a POS who never joined the HA but he was raised by them and did work for them as he was the most abusive POS and I thank the Lord I got away from him and my family. After my mom died my cousins tried to murder me 4 times and I left and never went back. That was 7 years ago and I have NEVER spoken to them and plan to never ever go back. I've never been happier since uprooting myself from those scum bags and making a new life for myself. And I did. I was homeless for years. Now I'm going to college full time for nursing and business. My cousins are still popping out babies left and right for their mom to raise while they still do drugs, drink and pimp themselves out for the gang. I pray for their kids and my brother who is still stuck at that house in that life.
I was raised around them, we were very poor, they bought us clothes, food, paid various bills like light and water every month. I’m very thankful we had them in our lives, never witnessed anything bad.
@@HonorableBeniah-A That's because they're not going to put in work in front of the general public as that would only make them look bad and they really don't like being in the news.
@@dontworryaboutit4255 maybe, but I think the HA of recent say 2015, are not the same as they were in the olden days, especially in regards to their numbers, and violence.
@@HonorableBeniah-A Ugh, yes they are. I'm sorry to tell you, but yes they are. This is coming from someone who knows people closely who are in the HA. There is so reason to think they have changed their ways at all. The only difference would be that the members from a long time ago are either old or have died by now and their younger family members taking over are still sharping the edges of the sword. That's all I'm gonna say. There is absolutely zero question on whether or not they are still as bad as they once were.
@@thomasoneill5877 George Christie has spoken ad nauseum about the HA's, written books, and continues to reveal a ton of info about the club. He was the longest active President of any chapter, and one of the biggest/most famous/powerful Hell's Angels of all time.
@@stephenhoward-id5yg George Christie, one of the most famous Hells Angels ever has been talking about his time in the club and as the longest running president in club history. I grew up in the same town their clubhouse was in. He's written books, done documentaries, plays, and a million podcasts. He isn't in the MC anymore, but left of his own accord. He was considered a snitch for a long time, but is still close with some club members, and widely respected even by law enforcement now. Check out some of his podcast appearances, he's pretty legit.

This is a really interesting documentary. I’m used to seeing the much shorter videos with just 1 person talking, but this gives you a wide perspective to have all of these guys from different areas of the world of “gangs.” Great documentary, and really cool format that you got all of these guys and just let them talk, one-by-one.

43:08 You realize, the guy was the leader of one of the most violent organizations in the USA. He has fought, probably killed, and just holding his little girl in his arms makes tears roll down his cheeks in less than a quarter of a second. The power a child has over a father is immense and profound. Children really are the future.
@@chnkylvr6969 I sincerely agree, but also consider the number of children whose lives have been taken by these so-called "good family men" in the streets for these for this storys of territorie homie ?
Gang culture is so pathetic that its literally sad. I have family members that use to be in the bloods. They fight over territory which they dont even own, aid in poisoning the community, and hurt one another. A lot withold great wasted potential as well.😔 I understand why they exist. I just wish things were different.
Paco! Much respect for changing your life for your little girl! Respect for becoming a pastor 🙏 to extend your knowledge and your history out to the young ones. Amazing how you have changed things to help not just change other lives but to change to direction of lives before they saw too much blood on the streets, before they did a lot of time locked up 🙌 . I will pray 👏 for you and all those you are trying to help. You have 💯 %respect from me my man.
One takeaway I had while watching the entire thing was that a lot of gangs or crime organizations get formed due to a need to take control in the community. Due to the lack of presence and reliability of law enforcement, people tend toward the road of taking matters into their own hands--whether that be protecting people or creating an image of power. It shows how communities that are deprived of security will find a way to establish a system to make themselves feel safe by grabbing power. The trend of gang members being recruited at such a young age goes to show how weak the support systems are for young members in their society, reaching the extent that kids find themselves more inclined to pursue these organizations to be a part of something and feel a sense of camaraderie, even at the expense of committing to a life of crime. It takes a lot of willpower to subject yourself to that lifestyle and I'm sure it takes just as much to get yourself out of it too.
The reason is simple, the areas are so economically destroyed that theres almost no way to live another life, its be in a gang or be homeless. Remember that the DEA and CIA systematically destroyed these already poor areas very recently
Dude was never dumb, he needed the correct outlet and a wake up call. Glad he didn't die in the process so he can tell his story and hopefully stop others from feeling the same pain.

@@donsims1941 If you actually study crime and therefore know what youre talking about like I do, you'd realise that in fact, "gang neighbourhoods" have the heaviest police prescence and therefore most crime. The key indicator and cause for crime taking off in a neghbourhood is the police making the strategic (and political/race related in fact as they exist mainly to protect the interest of the wealthy and corporations and are of course inherently racist) decision to flood an area with police, and then crime rises, the heavier they police an area, the more criminality takes off, its a natural response and a well understoood sociological phenom
@@BonSkirmish1312 🤣 so more police equals more crime in your opinion? 🤦🤣🤣🤣 I THINK YOU HAVE THE CAUSE AND EFFECT BACKWARDS. POLICE GO WHERE THEY ARE CALLED. ARE THE MAJORITY OF 911 CALLS FOR CRIME HAPPENING IN NICE NEIGHBORHOODS OR IN GANG NEIGHBORHOODS? I'LL WAIT 😉
This is honestly so brave of all of these members. There are still active members in all these groups and coming on here to bring their experience to life is a different type of bravery.
The Pastor is so right. It is men who need to make and support change in other men and let younger men know that perpetuating a world of hurt onto your family, your wife and your children is not the way. Men have to earn the trust of their girlfriends, future partners and her network. There are many good and even great men out in our world so it can be done, it is no big secret.
Men should earn the trust of their girlfriend family. That use to be a thing. The families would meet to get an understanding of the others family. That's when people respected families.
Let's remember there's other people raising these young men than men? Many times it's the women raising them while the daddies are out doing whatever. The Mamas aren't doing the best job and no they're not doing it all on their own either. Now I'm talking about anybody who gets into criminal activity and not just gangs. That's also remember that there are also females in gangs. Sure the man do need to get out there and show young men how to be better men. There are men that are out there trying to make a difference unfortunately there are not enough because fools that have nothing to do with gangs prop up the lifestyle. That's the biggest problem is others outside of this problem making it cool. Young man listen to gangsta rap in the suburbs and given young criminals who literally kill people money. You know more power and more ego to never stop being part of the gang until they're dead.
The guy who used to be Paco....man, he is doing great things! I love how his daughter's power of influence helped motivate him to rely on the Lord to change his life!! Him being a pastor who used to be in a gang and lived the life style, has put him ina unique position to reach people who most church leaders csnt reach; because others cant truly say, " i know how it feels", "i know, i have been there." A lot of people living in a cycle of life cant believe someone that tells them "the Lord can forgive you, if u repent and get baptized", if they havent lived that way before. Thank you for this video. Young people need to see this!
I’m not Christian BUT I’ve always trusted those kinds of pastors more. Former convicts, women, non-white, lesbian/gay, etc pastors have a stronger ability to convince me god may be real because through tough times, through ostracism, they found safety in religion. They don’t use the Bible to condemn others because they TRULY understand that’s Gods job to judge. Not theirs. (Obviously not generalizing, anyone can use the Bible to their own advantage) I’m proud of him. He seems to carry a lot of trauma when he speaks and if God and religion helps him come to terms with that, then I think it can only be a positive thing.
IDK how y'all pulled this off, but you did that! You must've had a good budget to get all these guys to sit down with you and take all that time. This is an extremely comprehensive documentary only things not covered were the skinheads and Mexican mafia but I'm not sure those factions are lucrative enough to be featured anyway so you get a 10!
You ain't lying, dayumm near blew my nose off when I was about 12. Thought I was the ish. That was a scared straight moment for me, I've seen someone leaking brains at a young age, I wanted to keep my brains. 😂😂😂

His part of the defund the police progressive movement in Los Angeles and want to abolish prisons. 90% of Salvadorans voted for Bukele and are finally living in peace.
The common denominator is we all need community. All of us. We can't end violence with more hate and intolerance. Makes me wonder where these men would have ended up if they had a better chance at opportunities.
@invictusbp1prop143 People always find places willing to overlook convictions of felony charges. Kind of messed up to make light of other people's good intentions by acting like they had no other choice. The chose to be a part of change, so that people could see another life for themself.
My dad and uncle were Crips, my uncle went away for over 10 years. When my uncle went away my dad and him both left the gang and left Compton. My uncle met my aunt before he went to jail and had my cousin. My dad met my mom at college, had my brother and I. I never got to meet my uncle, only speak to him on the phone. Despite this, my family continued to keep him in our lives. I remember the prison he was in let us all visit for his birthday. I saw his face for the first time since I was a baby. They let us take pictures, I still have it to this day. My uncle got released recently, and I met him for the first time without glass and cuffs. I didn't know we would be seeing when we went to visit my Grandma and cousin, when we saw him my dad was so shocked he couldn't even move. That first day I don't think we left each other's company. We call and text and facetime every day now, I never thought I'd see the day I could have such easy and quick communication with him.
These stories are valuable. Despite their differences, most gangs share similar core themes. The majority joined for protection, financial opportunity, and self-esteem. It's interesting that people also join hate groups for those same reasons. If we (society) really wanted to get rid of gangs, we would create opportunities in the communities where people are most at-risk for joining gangs. We're just not willing to spend money on community centers, education and social welfare. Too many people see that as "special treatment". I disagree, but I'm in the minority. My only criticism is of the MS13 guy. I wish he would have explained the argument for NOT deporting undocumented gang members. I have empathy for them and want to understand his point of view. Realistically though, every country I know of deports criminals who are non-citizens; we're no better or worse. Also, I don't understand why we should shoulder the social cost for the crimes, and then later the financial cost for the incarcerations, of people who aren't citizens? I'm not talking about regular people who happen to be undocumented, I mean the people he was describing to who come here as gang members, live here as gang members, and then get deported.
Well if u think about it, if u start deporting criminals to different countries that are still technically legal citizens, there will be a lot of gangs starting in those areas. They expand, and that’s even worse because it actually gives less opportunity for gang members to escape the gangs and their ideology. It’s a terrible solution long-term and it causes problems for several countries that can’t contain that amount of criminals.
I was arrested every year of my life from the age 12 to 17 for violent and theft crimes, I was facing an armed burglary charge and encountered the Holy Spirit in my cell reading a Bible one night. I’m 18 now and just like Paco said my old self has died and I’m now a new creation in Christ. The Latin Kings Paco story hit hard, praise the Lord and bless him and his family, what a Soulja 🤍💯
Currently working on my bachelor’s degree for psychology in hope to help others in incarcerated just like Paco. What a story man, I can’t wait to share the love of Christ.
I remember back in the day in Chicago as a inspiring rapper, I was dealing with a music producer who happens to be a Latin king. I wasn’t gang affiliated with any gang organization but I was surely surrounded by the Latin king lifestyle but he showed me how to lay down tracks, mixing and all of that and soon after I gave up on rapping and started making beats
45:02 As someone who works in the ED…bruh, the paramedics brought you back, homie. You can say that God was working through them or whatever, but…cmon.
He said, "The paramedics did they job, or whatever, but they didn't bring me back. God brought me back." As someone who has seen many ODs and seen many people die, I can tell you that noone but Jesus decides, definitively, who lives or dies through that.
Honestly most gang members nowadays don’t really do that anymore it’s not like back in the days at all nowadays crips and bloods live on the same block and will beef with other neighboring gangs.
@@Datswild253 Facts - Here in Baltimore - Crips are all drug dealers and are about stacking money, Bloods are into everything, but the young ones are clowns, 1 out of 20 are cool. and the others rob, and start fights with everyone, trying to prove how tough the are.. just seems like the crips here carry themselves like business men, and bloods are like kids
@@Datswild253 Exactly. Back in those days Crips would never wear red and Bloods would never wear blue. Nowadays, you will see Crips in red and Bloods in blue.
i knew a dude who’s brother was a ms-13 in high school. cortez, machete, guns, drugs, everything. we smoked and the whole time i just had this uncomfortable feeling. only time that’s happened and i could not be happier when we went back to school that day
I’m very grateful I grew up in the sticks. The biggest beef we ever had was fistfights. Cities have always made me feel sick. Peaceful life sounds nearly impossible for some of these people.
Same here in Dallas. I was a young buck but never joined a gang, I had my dad in my life. I did buy a MAC Elev'em with my Jack In The Box checks though lol. I had a classic Lincoln and wasn't nobody car jacking me without contest

In my experience living in a neighborhood with a lot of gang activity in North Portland, 2/3 of gang shooting victims are either random people who looked like the gang member or just a passer by getting shot. Only 1/3 of the time is the target person hit.
With all the respect I said LOL when I read North Portland. And I know it will I'm from Seattle and I did leave 10 years in East Los Angeles and the Bay area which take the cake in regards to organize gangs but no doubt Seattle and its surrounding areas or times more dangerous than North Portland for talking about actual gangs. I spent a lot of time in that area at the horse track as well. I just didn't notice.
That former China gang Member and NYPD... gave me chills. You can tell he did some things back in the day. The whole "retired war veteran" aura thing going. Calm and collected but capable of great violence if pushed too far. Definitely going to subscribe to his and that form Triad Generals channel

The brother from the Latin Kings made me think about the similarities of gangs with cults and how they’re really defined by its ethnic and class signifiers. They’re both predominantly male-led criminal organizations that exploit children and women, playing on the same principles of capitalism and oppression within these condensed communities. It emphasizes my core belief that none of us are free until we ALL are free. It applies to so many aspects of society in America and beyond. My heart shatters for the people, but I have enough hope for us to pick those pieces up every day. I believe in a better future for all of us, but it involves letting go of the violent and exploitative nature of capitalism and white supremacy. It’s killing us, it’s killing our minds, it’s killing our children and it’s killing our cultures.
It absolutely is. It's well known that the ATF have been involved in several gunrunning scandals. Priority One of any organization is to ensure it's own existence. The ATF creates crime so they can continue to "fight" crime, and make alot of money doing so. The FBI keeps databases of all seized child porn and sells and distributes it to the dark web just so they can shut it down later. The DEA sells drugs they confiscate on the streets to wrap up gangs. That's what your taxes pay for. Government sanctioned drug dealers.
We would go to war to thin the herd . But gangs drugs and the street life period is winning that war . I'm from Detroit and I'm 43 things are changing here for the good . We had gangs in the 80s 90s and early 00s alot of them died or got life in prison . Well my part of Detroit was like that I can't speak on these new clicks that's just a bunch of guys with Nothing to do from the same neighborhood. Southwest Detroit borders our downtown that's why I think things are changing because our downtown is wonderful.
Great commentary the gang culture has definitely destroyed all the los Angeles communities no matter what race period! Alot of lives have been lost 🙏🏽💔😥😔

Im the Daughter of an Hells Angel. Now that im grown. I realized He was just simply more dedicated to them,than he was us. We were around things as kids NO human should ever have to witness.
I completely know. Fully well. I was raised around them as my mom's dad did work for them but he wouldn't join them. My mom, uncle and my other cousins and myself and my brother when we got old enough we all seen and went through things nobody ever should. Then I got in a 3 1/2 year relationship with a POS who never joined the HA but he was raised by them and did work for them as he was the most abusive POS and I thank the Lord I got away from him and my family. After my mom died my cousins tried to murder me 4 times and I left and never went back. That was 7 years ago and I have NEVER spoken to them and plan to never ever go back. I've never been happier since uprooting myself from those scum bags and making a new life for myself. And I did. I was homeless for years. Now I'm going to college full time for nursing and business. My cousins are still popping out babies left and right for their mom to raise while they still do drugs, drink and pimp themselves out for the gang. I pray for their kids and my brother who is still stuck at that house in that life.
I was raised around them, we were very poor, they bought us clothes, food, paid various bills like light and water every month. I’m very thankful we had them in our lives, never witnessed anything bad.
@@HonorableBeniah-A That's because they're not going to put in work in front of the general public as that would only make them look bad and they really don't like being in the news.
@@dontworryaboutit4255 maybe, but I think the HA of recent say 2015, are not the same as they were in the olden days, especially in regards to their numbers, and violence.
@@HonorableBeniah-A Ugh, yes they are. I'm sorry to tell you, but yes they are. This is coming from someone who knows people closely who are in the HA. There is so reason to think they have changed their ways at all. The only difference would be that the members from a long time ago are either old or have died by now and their younger family members taking over are still sharping the edges of the sword. That's all I'm gonna say. There is absolutely zero question on whether or not they are still as bad as they once were.

I will pray 👏 for you and all those you are trying to help. You have 💯 %respect from me my man.
One takeaway I had while watching the entire thing was that a lot of gangs or crime organizations get formed due to a need to take control in the community. Due to the lack of presence and reliability of law enforcement, people tend toward the road of taking matters into their own hands--whether that be protecting people or creating an image of power. It shows how communities that are deprived of security will find a way to establish a system to make themselves feel safe by grabbing power. The trend of gang members being recruited at such a young age goes to show how weak the support systems are for young members in their society, reaching the extent that kids find themselves more inclined to pursue these organizations to be a part of something and feel a sense of camaraderie, even at the expense of committing to a life of crime. It takes a lot of willpower to subject yourself to that lifestyle and I'm sure it takes just as much to get yourself out of it too.
Crips and bloods for over 40 years and no change has been made...still killing each other no lesson has been learned
The reason is simple, the areas are so economically destroyed that theres almost no way to live another life, its be in a gang or be homeless. Remember that the DEA and CIA systematically destroyed these already poor areas very recently

@@donsims1941 If you actually study crime and therefore know what youre talking about like I do, you'd realise that in fact, "gang neighbourhoods" have the heaviest police prescence and therefore most crime. The key indicator and cause for crime taking off in a neghbourhood is the police making the strategic (and political/race related in fact as they exist mainly to protect the interest of the wealthy and corporations and are of course inherently racist) decision to flood an area with police, and then crime rises, the heavier they police an area, the more criminality takes off, its a natural response and a well understoood sociological phenom

This is honestly so brave of all of these members. There are still active members in all these groups and coming on here to bring their experience to life is a different type of bravery.
Bravery lmao
The Pastor is so right. It is men who need to make and support change in other men and let younger men know that perpetuating a world of hurt onto your family, your wife and your children is not the way. Men have to earn the trust of their girlfriends, future partners and her network. There are many good and even great men out in our world so it can be done, it is no big secret.
Sadly the great, kind, hardworking men are not glorified the way psychopaths, sociopaths and thugs are.
Men should earn the trust of their girlfriend family. That use to be a thing. The families would meet to get an understanding of the others family. That's when people respected families.
Just remember not all females are nice either
Let's remember there's other people raising these young men than men? Many times it's the women raising them while the daddies are out doing whatever. The Mamas aren't doing the best job and no they're not doing it all on their own either. Now I'm talking about anybody who gets into criminal activity and not just gangs. That's also remember that there are also females in gangs. Sure the man do need to get out there and show young men how to be better men. There are men that are out there trying to make a difference unfortunately there are not enough because fools that have nothing to do with gangs prop up the lifestyle. That's the biggest problem is others outside of this problem making it cool. Young man listen to gangsta rap in the suburbs and given young criminals who literally kill people money. You know more power and more ego to never stop being part of the gang until they're dead.
@@neffort I'm not dating the entire family lol
The guy who used to be Paco....man, he is doing great things! I love how his daughter's power of influence helped motivate him to rely on the Lord to change his life!! Him being a pastor who used to be in a gang and lived the life style, has put him ina unique position to reach people who most church leaders csnt reach; because others cant truly say, " i know how it feels", "i know, i have been there."
A lot of people living in a cycle of life cant believe someone that tells them "the Lord can forgive you, if u repent and get baptized", if they havent lived that way before.
Thank you for this video. Young people need to see this!
material racket to spiritual racket.
I’m not Christian BUT I’ve always trusted those kinds of pastors more. Former convicts, women, non-white, lesbian/gay, etc pastors have a stronger ability to convince me god may be real because through tough times, through ostracism, they found safety in religion. They don’t use the Bible to condemn others because they TRULY understand that’s Gods job to judge. Not theirs. (Obviously not generalizing, anyone can use the Bible to their own advantage) I’m proud of him. He seems to carry a lot of trauma when he speaks and if God and religion helps him come to terms with that, then I think it can only be a positive thing.
this is probably one of the best documentaries like this for real! good job 👏
IDK how y'all pulled this off, but you did that! You must've had a good budget to get all these guys to sit down with you and take all that time.

I find this footage very informative as well as interesting how many of them give back how some of them become public speakers Counselors & mentors
Don't be he only accurate on his neighborhood everything else is kinda speculation. And the crip name stuff is accurate
So many of them go into that line of work because they ruined their regular job opportunities with felony convictions and neck tattoos.
They never get a proper job but are employed by public money.
The common denominator is we all need community. All of us. We can't end violence with more hate and intolerance. Makes me wonder where these men would have ended up if they had a better chance at opportunities.
@invictusbp1prop143 People always find places willing to overlook convictions of felony charges. Kind of messed up to make light of other people's good intentions by acting like they had no other choice. The chose to be a part of change, so that people could see another life for themself.
My dad and uncle were Crips, my uncle went away for over 10 years. When my uncle went away my dad and him both left the gang and left Compton. My uncle met my aunt before he went to jail and had my cousin. My dad met my mom at college, had my brother and I. I never got to meet my uncle, only speak to him on the phone. Despite this, my family continued to keep him in our lives. I remember the prison he was in let us all visit for his birthday. I saw his face for the first time since I was a baby. They let us take pictures, I still have it to this day. My uncle got released recently, and I met him for the first time without glass and cuffs. I didn't know we would be seeing when we went to visit my Grandma and cousin, when we saw him my dad was so shocked he couldn't even move. That first day I don't think we left each other's company. We call and text and facetime every day now, I never thought I'd see the day I could have such easy and quick communication with him.
He spent an hour ironing his pants! That’s some gangster sh*t!

These stories are valuable. Despite their differences, most gangs share similar core themes. The majority joined for protection, financial opportunity, and self-esteem. It's interesting that people also join hate groups for those same reasons. If we (society) really wanted to get rid of gangs, we would create opportunities in the communities where people are most at-risk for joining gangs. We're just not willing to spend money on community centers, education and social welfare. Too many people see that as "special treatment". I disagree, but I'm in the minority. My only criticism is of the MS13 guy. I wish he would have explained the argument for NOT deporting undocumented gang members. I have empathy for them and want to understand his point of view. Realistically though, every country I know of deports criminals who are non-citizens; we're no better or worse. Also, I don't understand why we should shoulder the social cost for the crimes, and then later the financial cost for the incarcerations, of people who aren't citizens? I'm not talking about regular people who happen to be undocumented, I mean the people he was describing to who come here as gang members, live here as gang members, and then get deported.
I agree with you completely 🙂
Well if u think about it, if u start deporting criminals to different countries that are still technically legal citizens, there will be a lot of gangs starting in those areas. They expand, and that’s even worse because it actually gives less opportunity for gang members to escape the gangs and their ideology. It’s a terrible solution long-term and it causes problems for several countries that can’t contain that amount of criminals.
I was arrested every year of my life from the age 12 to 17 for violent and theft crimes, I was facing an armed burglary charge and encountered the Holy Spirit in my cell reading a Bible one night. I’m 18 now and just like Paco said my old self has died and I’m now a new creation in Christ. The Latin Kings Paco story hit hard, praise the Lord and bless him and his family, what a Soulja 🤍💯
Currently working on my bachelor’s degree for psychology in hope to help others in incarcerated just like Paco. What a story man, I can’t wait to share the love of Christ.

The brother from the Latin Kings made me think about the similarities of gangs with cults and how they’re really defined by its ethnic and class signifiers. They’re both predominantly male-led criminal organizations that exploit children and women, playing on the same principles of capitalism and oppression within these condensed communities. It emphasizes my core belief that none of us are free until we ALL are free. It applies to so many aspects of society in America and beyond. My heart shatters for the people, but I have enough hope for us to pick those pieces up every day. I believe in a better future for all of us, but it involves letting go of the violent and exploitative nature of capitalism and white supremacy. It’s killing us, it’s killing our minds, it’s killing our children and it’s killing our cultures.
The ATF Hells Angel's gig sure sounds a lot like entrapment
It absolutely is. It's well known that the ATF have been involved in several gunrunning scandals.
Priority One of any organization is to ensure it's own existence. The ATF creates crime so they can continue to "fight" crime, and make alot of money doing so. The FBI keeps databases of all seized child porn and sells and distributes it to the dark web just so they can shut it down later. The DEA sells drugs they confiscate on the streets to wrap up gangs.
That's what your taxes pay for. Government sanctioned drug dealers.
Its how they do it.
The ATF is DESIGNED to frame people. Thats their business.
It is just like the FBl
That's how it goes... Every grip forces an initiation. That way, you asked for it. Stay loyal and it's all good. Ridiculous but it is what it is.
This video is amazing

We would go to war to thin the herd . But gangs drugs and the street life period is winning that war . I'm from Detroit and I'm 43 things are changing here for the good . We had gangs in the 80s 90s and early 00s alot of them died or got life in prison . Well my part of Detroit was like that I can't speak on these new clicks that's just a bunch of guys with Nothing to do from the same neighborhood. Southwest Detroit borders our downtown that's why I think things are changing because our downtown is wonderful.
"take that money and make it as legal as you can" sums it up
Thank you brother. You are telling the truth. ❤
Glorified gangs. Gangs are the epitome of blight on life.
Agreed gangs like the IRS. those are the real gangsters. They take ³/4 months of wages for the privilege of working
Poverty is the root.
@@raquelnunes9793no lack of good nuclear family structure and bad culture
@@rj5485seriously. Poverty only plays a role
@@hardattackdj yes
Great commentary the gang culture has definitely destroyed all the los Angeles communities no matter what race period! Alot of lives have been lost 🙏🏽💔😥😔
So interesting . Thank you guys ..
Imagine being in a gang, dressing like other guys. Defending something u don't own. K!lling your opp and going to jail and fall in love with your homeboi
...
Im ok working a 9-5 i live better off
That camera reel sound effect starts getting very annoying
Wondered if I was the only one... I don't mind the clicks but they need to tone down the reel sound lol
@@jazzgabrielle I would very much happen to agree
Crybabies..focusing on something so minor how about appreciating the content
I don't mean to be that guy but you could probably benefit from watching the videos separately at different times rather than watching this 3 hour feature film full lf the reel sound all the time.

@@Snowforest60because he forgot the "in" 🙄

Thanks for letting me know ☺️☺️
Man, the Latin King talking about his little girl, you could hear the pain. Such real talk.
If you can't be a good parent for your children this guy will take up the slack.
You explained it right on point
Dang. This is eye opening and fascinating.
The British "banger" (Omar Sharif?? Really? I mean, _come on!_ ) was utterly _hilarious!_ The most middle-class "OG" I've ever seen/heard. 😆He's from NW1 - for those that don't know, NW1 is _posh!_ Westminster, Fulham, Hammersmith, Islington, Chelsea, Kensington. I feel sure, dear reader, you've heard of at least one or two of these locations.
As for his accent, could he have been any more eloquent? Where was the "natta meen, blud? U feel mi? Wa gwan, roadmans dem..?" You want to hear what inner-city central London gangstas sound like? Watch Top Boy. Sounds _nothing like_ our Omar...
After a hard day's graft, this _really_ lifted my spirits. Thanks, uploader! 😁

thank God every day that I’m still here to be a better example for my son I’m in my 30s. I was in the streets since I was 16. Had good grades graduated high school went to college but I’ve always had 1 foot in the streets. I literally lost 27 homies the that stupid ish. Almost got killed a few times myself and I’m glad God gave me a strength to walk away. I see a lot of my friends that are over 30 still out here standing on the corner risking their life. I’m not about that anymore showing my son a better now that he’s 16 54:12 .
of course
