I was 13 when I started gangbanging. I was kicked out of my home as a youngster. Had no love, support, drug addict, robbing stores, committing assault and battery. Was homeless for a couple of months. You grow stronger and wiser, but also have choices to make and quick. Now I look at like this, "You can always switch your life around as long as your making the right decisions in life" don't blame others instead change was stopping you from accomplishing the things you want in life...
Its the same reason i hung out with the wrong crowd i didnt feel any love at home , my dad lives in a world of his own and my mum was all about saving the planet and other political stuff but when it came to being there when i as her son needed her she wasnt there
@@al3e2x19 Damn my boy stay strong. Feel like my mom wasn’t there for me when I needed her. And my pops got killed due to gang violence when I was just a kid. Moms still not there for me.
I remember having that mind set. Being 13 years old and thinking prison time was an accomplishment or catching cases was a thing everyone went through. Luckily mom was able to get me out the hood and away from that environment. It’s sad that some vatos don’t realize till it’s to late
Salute to your mother my friend, now that's gangster. I see the idiots commenting but take it from someone who has been through the system and made bad decisions I'm jealous of the fact either you listen to the one that would have held you down for 20 years if that happened or she was strong enough to get through to you that that life is bullshit! Like I said if you got even 5 years the only people at the end will be you real family mum dad brothers sisters or a woman that loves you!!! The homeboys won't send you a penny and will probably try and take your girl!!!
Have y’all never seen menace 2 society ? Everybody knows that shit ain’t real life that’s what the government created and controls. You Mexicans atleast have history and culture, these USA morenos have nothing but told they were slaves that’s why they still wear gold chains on their neck wrist and fingers with a maybe nice car while living in the “projects” like if they were lab rats in a grand experiment.
The guy on the right side of my screen really asks good questions. Usually I don’t like when they interrupt but he’s on point fr . My first time here good show
Whoever you are - you are valuable. You are part of the human tapestry. Your important. You are not here by mistake. Love yourself first. Other peoples genuine love will come with that naturally. Thanks for sharing the story guy. Doing that in itself may save some kid thinking the same way you were when you made your choices.
I feel like our story never gets told enough, Central America has been plagued by political war and gang violence for a very long time and there’s people like homie right here but there’s also hard working people that come to the states from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras fleeing from that shit etc but as a community we need to keep pushing for the youngins to stay away from this life and pursue something that’s valued and respected in our society but this guy Edwin is doing something great by sharing his story and hopefully somebody in his situation right now listens to this and wakes up and choses better for themselves
It takes alot of strength to survive growing up with no support in that environment. The surroundings we grow up around play a big roll on what we become. This story is inspiring, I hope it helps others find a path. Thank you.
Damn I was facing 72 years to life all for gang banging I ended up doing 12 years over all 18 years youth authority been free 11 years next month joined a union 6 years ago making big money building these solar farms
Mis Respetos para el homie, non of it is his Fault, with all respect to his Jefita but its All her fault, she sent him away because she failed to be able to provide for him, she failed him again when he came back, even if he has those marks on his face, you can tell he has a good heart, we all need that Love , we’re human being, at the end of the day he’ll be a badass person for the rest of his life, what doesn’t break you makes you stronger!
Perfect example of why we not need to give up on criminals & invest in their true rehabilitation & life/job skills when they’re incarcerated. All comes down to a sense of being and purpose. 10/10 interview
@@Littlekitten_ it’s sad but true. And the sex offender’s get the lease amount of time out of any crime. And I think it’s because of the fact that. That’s the crime that these politicians & judge’s family members are more likely to commit. So they keep the sentencing guidelines low just in case smh. As for junkies I believe that if they really want to change they’d have to work on it, but they’ll be able to control their urges to get high and reoffend. JUST MY OPINION
amazing life story from edwin it’s good to see he changed his life around I wish him the best and success in whatever he’s doing or plans to do for himself
It’s not really random or surprising that he would come from another country and run into his homies here. It just shows how much gangs are embedded in our state and especially how many Mara’s are here. He can run into his homies in a lot of states, they’ve grown and spread out so much.
The person who deserve attention is his grandma. She was there for him for 12 years as an example and a loving person. I believe he didn’t give up on himself finding love in his heart because he saw it with her. I hope he can one day go back to El Salvador and enjoy the beautiful mountains and oceans we have there too. No matter the pain and violence the Salvadorian people have lived through, both our land and people are beautiful and this is a testimony of that.
U KNOW WHEN I SIT BACK AND THINK OF THEM DAYS IT WAS LIKE WE WANTED TO BE THAT ONE WE WANTED TO BE FEARED AND RESPECTED WE WERE WILLING TO DIE AND GIVE UP OUR WHOLE LIFE FOR A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT YOU AND NOW ITS LIKE WE'RE LUCKY IF WE STILL HAVE A HOMIE AROUND FROM THEM DAYS RESPECT TO THOSE THAT WOKE UP AND REALIZED THAT IT IS NOT WORTH IT. I SEE PEOPLE NOW WHO ARE OLDER THAN ME AND STILL HAVE NOT WOKEN UP I CONSIDER IT A TRUE BLESSING THAT I SEE THE WORLD AS A CIVILIAN NOW. ..
My dad died when I was 21 I really only got to know his the last 6-7 years of his life and that was probably because he was sick and couldn’t live the lifestyle he was used to anymore my mom was out of my life at age 5 she would come around every few years but I eventually caught on to the fact that she would only come when she was felling bad she was basically doing it to make herself feel better but even sitting here I can honestly say that I never needed or looked for the love of my parents maybe this guy deep down was a mamas boy after having kids i promised my self my kids would never go through the same thing
Sometimes we do tho man and we don't even realize it. It's just one of those parts of the human condition. Like being human - it just comes with it. Maybe not the approval but definitely the sense of belonging and worth and needing that from your parents even if on a subconscious level. Like the first 5 years of a babies life are really formative and crucial. When they don't get those connections it has consequences later on even if we don't really see it.
My father shot my brother in the chest he was 7 years old, my mother didnt call the police she from haiti and put a hit on my fathers head she paid 3 guyz 10k we never saw my father again. She told me they didnt find him and she was in the car with 3 crips with shotguns and stuff, so sometimes the father really dont care about you, unfortunately i don't have a father now.
Congratulations! I know the life and the feeling! Use to be one of my favorite things to do, sit and tell stories lol. One of my biggest accomplishments is living a productive life. Finally settled down in my 30’s. Respect.
Wow i just stumbled on this channel this seems like a great topic commin from a former convict who did 12 years myself lookin forward to more content! Where are you guys from?
I don’t know the man but his story is really moving man like shii as a salvadorian this shii makes me do everything i do for my people like this who couldn’t fully make it from the streets, im gon do it for y’all man
I was 13 years old when I got jumped in and I remember my big homies would talk to me like prison like home . Lucky I never felt for it and kept it smart
New subscriber keep it up i just found yall channel💯💪. I'm glad Edwin got to tell his story many people can relate to it. My grandma also raised me including 13 other siblings and we could never do no wrong in her eyes. No matter the bs we got into or did man. That's one of the worst feelings having a household or roof over your head ,but not feeling like it's a home..having no one to run to or go to. The lack of love, support, family,traumas,or not having no one to count on really does a number on you man when your young. It's also still a hard process learning to let go of grudges and trauma. I'm glad homie finally changed his life style and found that love and family support from his wife and kids. Homies unidos is a great resource out there in Cali that helps alot its a great program.
Just some constructive feedback for the interviewers. Your show would flow more naturally if you let the guest finish his train of thought and express himself fully without interruption.
This goes to show you that not all people who go down this road are animals. The way the media tries to portray MS is crazy. When there’s plenty of other US based gangs doing the same or worse. Saludos homie.
I grew up in LA in the early'80s and I remember when MS was just a small Stoner gang they had the biker jackets Levi's jeans boots heavy metal t-shirts and the long hair.... I never imagined it would turn into a international street gang.

I have an MS13 member in my unit fighting his deportation for 4 years already. He is afraid of being killed if sent back to his country. Funny how the big bad ms 13 gang member being afraid to go back to his own country. He can shoot defenseless people here. Get the gun on him and he changed his tune real quick.
Im from WS MS13 IN LA WONT SAY THE CLIQUE, I HATE IT MAN, AT FIRST IT WAS FUN AND GAMES , GETTING LOCKED UP LOSING BROTHER, HOMIES,TO THE STREETS OR PRISON, NEW HOMIES TAKING OVER NOT TO FAMILIAR WITH THE NEW CATS, SOME GETTING OUT WITH A WHOLE DIFFRENT MENTALITY, U START TAKING CARE OF YOURESELF, AND THEY TRIP, GANG BANGANING WASNT THE SAME, U GOT OLD AND YOUNG CATS, WITH NO SENSE OF ANYTHING, THEY'LL TURN THIER BACKS ON U, THEY HATE THE FACT THAT UDOIN BETTER THAN U WAS, big homies I looked up to bacame a motivation to what I don't want to be, I wanna have my house my family, prison gets boring, kids growing up looking at u like a stranger, hurting your wife who's done nothing but be in your corner since day 1, Thanks to God, letting me open my eyes, to what I was doin to my family, because I didnt care what happens to me, I seen my wife cry so many times, didn't even care, I'll just tell her she gotta understand is the life, I really just cared for my hood more than my own child, it was when I was 20, when a homeboy from ES LONGO, talk to me how he's never gomna see his family, his mom passed his father he never knew, his girl left with another dude tooked his kid with her, he calls her new man dad, homeboy doenst have no one, he said he'll die sad, knowing that no one would claim his body, I couldn't stop think about wjat he had just told me, my family still loved me, and I was hurting them because I wanted to, it was a night a day change, when i got released, first thing I did was get on my knees and told my wife I was so fucken sorry for my crazy life, I was filled with love I never felt, I couldn't see the hood the same after, I still have solid homies, who r happy for me, the hood is not gonna stop for me, it keeps goin with or without me so I was like fuck it, let me give this work stuff a try, I'm a truck driver, for 10 years and it really feels like a fairy tale seeing my wife happy proud my kid calling my daddy growing up to be this beautiful 15 year old respectful young man, my daughter taking control of me, is the best feeling I would ever feel, back then it was anger hate, just evil thoughts, it was so easy to do wrong, prison was nothing to me I actually kind of enjoyed it while in there, and now I take a look at my life, and I look at what I could've lost, I pray every day not to loose them again, and how thankful I am for them..I know gang life is the only life for some, I know some will never realize this, some probably already lost everything, I'm one of the fortunate ones, I know the gang won't stop, but I did and I'm forever happy now,I help out my community with the, HOMIES UNIDOS program..
Did you ever move away from L.A. I grew up on 3rd & Burlington, gang life is no joke andd a waste of time. I'm also a Truck driver now and moved to Colorado. We also dispatch from home and guide drivers that want to become O/O. Peace
Cool ass dude for changing ,but doing videos like this is usually a no no I just hope nothing happens to him ,cause he seems chill and about his family
Back in the early 90’s, 9 CRASH 54 always had a field-day with the Vatos from Northside MS. I always had some sense of respect for my adversaries, but they hated my guts because I always toyed with them.
Shout out to him , i give him all my respect . He just motivated me. and hope he sees this just know you have a lot of power & write a book‼️‼️‼️ and God bless you and your family.

Mom shouldn’t blame him. He’s a victim on mom’s choices sending to el salvador and being brainwashed by his uncles. This guy deserves a second chance at life
God gave him a chance in life . I believe that blessings to you and the family amen 🙏🏼
If he goes back to the motherland easy 20 years for this homie Bukele don't play!!

Shout out to mi gente Salvadoreño! A small country will a lot of history , and hated by most other Latin countries here in the states 🇺🇸. 🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻
They other Latinos don’t understand our culture even though we are so similar
No one hates you guys. Salvadoreños assume everyone hates them.
@@lissetteorona7010 there isn’t assumptions when other Latin countries call us Serotes due to us using that word and them knowing it’s a derogatory term.
If you’re not Salvi than you wouldnt get it ,
@@iHipHopVEVO you guys call each other that lmao. It all starts from your own people. Last time I checked salvi are extremely racist towards Mexicans.
@@iHipHopVEVO I might not be salvi but I am married to one. And I’ve learned plenty from him.
@@lissetteorona7010 Mexicans are just as ignorant and racist seen it Hella times,you guys even diss other races
Calling blacks racial slurs but listen to their music use their slang and dress like them too.
All i can say is that i can relate to the homie coming from the same background and motherland but all i can say is keep your head up perrito y pongase para lo suyo carnalito... Much love
🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻
Great story , he's going to go on and do good things in his life
Much respect to you! Brother!!
I have an MS13 member in my unit fighting his deportation for 4 years already. He is afraid of being killed if sent back to his country. Funny how the big bad ms 13 gang member being afraid to go back to his own country. He can shoot defenseless people here. Get the gun on him and he changed his tune real quick.
exactly, all gang members are punks, gonna be looking over their shoulders the rest of their lives. What goes around comes around karmas a bitch

Much respect for this dude
We are all products of our environment. Take care and show your children the right way to live. Sad for dudes like this
We are the product of our choices but our environment does help influence them.
Im from WS MS13 IN LA WONT SAY THE CLIQUE, I HATE IT MAN, AT FIRST IT WAS FUN AND GAMES , GETTING LOCKED UP LOSING BROTHER, HOMIES,TO THE STREETS OR PRISON, NEW HOMIES TAKING OVER NOT TO FAMILIAR WITH THE NEW CATS, SOME GETTING OUT WITH A WHOLE DIFFRENT MENTALITY, U START TAKING CARE OF YOURESELF, AND THEY TRIP, GANG BANGANING WASNT THE SAME, U GOT OLD AND YOUNG CATS, WITH NO SENSE OF ANYTHING, THEY'LL TURN THIER BACKS ON U, THEY HATE THE FACT THAT UDOIN BETTER THAN U WAS, big homies I looked up to bacame a motivation to what I don't want to be, I wanna have my house my family, prison gets boring, kids growing up looking at u like a stranger, hurting your wife who's done nothing but be in your corner since day 1, Thanks to God, letting me open my eyes, to what I was doin to my family, because I didnt care what happens to me, I seen my wife cry so many times, didn't even care, I'll just tell her she gotta understand is the life, I really just cared for my hood more than my own child, it was when I was 20, when a homeboy from ES LONGO, talk to me how he's never gomna see his family, his mom passed his father he never knew, his girl left with another dude tooked his kid with her, he calls her new man dad, homeboy doenst have no one, he said he'll die sad, knowing that no one would claim his body, I couldn't stop think about wjat he had just told me, my family still loved me, and I was hurting them because I wanted to, it was a night a day change, when i got released, first thing I did was get on my knees and told my wife I was so fucken sorry for my crazy life, I was filled with love I never felt, I couldn't see the hood the same after, I still have solid homies, who r happy for me, the hood is not gonna stop for me, it keeps goin with or without me so I was like fuck it, let me give this work stuff a try, I'm a truck driver, for 10 years and it really feels like a fairy tale seeing my wife happy proud my kid calling my daddy growing up to be this beautiful 15 year old respectful young man, my daughter taking control of me, is the best feeling I would ever feel, back then it was anger hate, just evil thoughts, it was so easy to do wrong, prison was nothing to me I actually kind of enjoyed it while in there, and now I take a look at my life, and I look at what I could've lost, I pray every day not to loose them again, and how thankful I am for them..I know gang life is the only life for some, I know some will never realize this, some probably already lost everything, I'm one of the fortunate ones, I know the gang won't stop, but I did and I'm forever happy now,I help out my community with the, HOMIES UNIDOS program..
Did you ever move away from L.A. I grew up on 3rd & Burlington, gang life is no joke andd a waste of time. I'm also a Truck driver now and moved to Colorado. We also dispatch from home and guide drivers that want to become O/O. Peace
This is an example of never judge a book by its cover. Wish the homie well.
Wish nothing but the best for the dude.all good vibes and only good experiences that he deserves .which is all he wants.
Instead of making this one long video u should break it dwn in sections like 3 or so either way I jus subscribed
Cool ass dude for changing ,but doing videos like this is usually a no no I just hope nothing happens to him ,cause he seems chill and about his family
Damn homes your a firme as vato i kinda share your story in life so i feel you i know how it is just be strong my boy and try to do right homie
Back in the early 90’s, 9 CRASH 54 always had a field-day with the Vatos from Northside MS. I always had some sense of respect for my adversaries, but they hated my guts because I always toyed with them.
J.C SOUNDS LIKE HEARTBURN MY BOY, YOULL GROW UP I PROMISE .
