    I don't doubt a word he said. When he said that it was the 82nd Airborne that landed on Grenada and not the Marines he is dead-on.

      True, they just required the Marines to save them. A very common mistake. My aunt's ex husband says a little prayer for the leathernecks that saved him.

      Yes and No.
      I used to work and hang out on skidrow.
      Some people go there to die.
      That may be true.
      But some people go there to save money and get resources.
      Some people go there because it can be like a poor man's Las Vegas.
      ( inexpensive drinking, gambling, entertainment)
      Some people go there to do missionary work.
      But overall, most people view it as a transitional place. A place to be temporarily for whatever reason.

Sadly, with our current political and societal condition, our country is very sick and in so much pain.

      You don't want a backpack on your back in a fight. You also do not want to sleep on the streets in a sleeping bag. Someone could come along and kick your head in. You will never get out of the bag.
      In a fight someone will try to pull on the backpack to get you off balance or choke you with the straps. On the streets you might be out numbered.
      You do not learn to scuba dive in a day. There is a lot more to scuba diving than having the gear. Most Navy enlistments are 4 years not 3.

It hit hard when he talked about his mom. I understand because when my mom passed nothing was the same again and I was lost. He went through war and everything but what took him down was his mother leaving this earth. He said people go to skid row to die..I believe it. Stay strong Repeat. Your mom is your Angel.

      Minnie probably passed on before Repeat could get back at her for calling the police on him. If this is the case then she passed peacefully. That's not to mean that she would have met with a violent death by Repeat, but he most DEFINITELY woulda gotten with her. One thing I've learned from this interview is that Repeat is the definition of decisiveness. He doesn't make threats, he states his intentions and carries them through.

    He said he don't talk much but when you got him talking it's a story you'll never forget. This man is truly brilliant, he has a good heart but he struggles with real demons. Those demons is what keeps him angry. I hope he finds peace. This is by far the best interview.

    Being 14,this might sound stupid,but Repeat is one of the most interesting people ive heard of. Being 14 ive never had a encounter with someone like him or heard of someone like him but hearing him just really amazes me. Im really interested in him and the things he says. I want to meet him and just listen to more because I'm so interested. His story just goes opens my eyes to the real,raw,interesting world. Im happy I have seen this video and his amazing story and experiences.

      Dont worry about the haters because even if the guy is a drunk and a lier he can still teach you some lessons.
      Im glad you posted your comment, you sound intelligent and definatly dont have to apologize. In the previous comment it states to study hard... ill follow that with ... whatever you do, do it with all your heart ✌🏻

    It never ceases to amaze me how, for some individuals, certain brain neurotransmitters fire in a totally random pattern and ultimately result in such profound chaos called “life”. You’ve got an excellent story to tell, Repeat, I was intrigued. Thanks.

    This is one tough and extremely smart man! One hell of a storyteller and he has a lot of stories to tell. I think this man could do anything he wanted to if he really put his mind to it, he should write a book. I love the amount of detail he goes into when he tells his stories.
