[@hopedunn5602]

He’s absolutely right when he says it’s all about the power trip. Being in a gang definitely gives you that sense of belonging to a tight knit powerful family but in reality it’s a false sense of security in the way that you are only as good as what you can do for them. There’s a fine line between fear and respect. It can be a very alluring way of life and very hard to break free from like a drug. The high you get from the “respect” people give you everywhere you go is not really respect but fear which is the other part of the whole twisted allure. Some people even worship these gang members and aspire to be them. Steer clear if you don’t want to straight ruin your life.

[@leneo1731]

I absolutely agree, fear and respect are two very different things. Respect is something I chose to give to others. Fear is something they force on me. I don't know how high up in the system this guy are, but some of the people high up can do whatever they want. There are also torpedoes and money collectors that go through life like bulldozers. And there are other people who deal drugs who have extreme powers because they have something so valuable that people will do everything imaginable to get what they have. Like he said something about in this video. That must be an insane power trip for some people.

[@OTOss8]

I've heard a number of people that Mark interviewed say something similar to what Junior said, about how he'd have gone to school to become a doctor to help people instead of being part of the life they chose and I listen to them speak and think to myself that it isn't likely they would have made it. Not for lack of determination or desire but because it's clear they just don't have it. I believe Junior though. He's a smart guy. Really introspective, and thoughtful with his replies to Mark. He has the mental capacity to have made it as a doctor. He has that raw intellectual horsepower that so many people that make these pie in the sky statements lack. I wish him well. I think there's still time for him to do some profound good with his life.

[@Lanalal]

That someone who falls into a despicable and feared and rejected sect of society, can also seem so deeply intellectual, articulate and loveable. Mind blown

[@racingbeats1493]

You have a really low bar for who you consider intellectual, articulate, and lovable. If you can really listen to this guy talk about doing whatever violent thing he wants to drug addicts and charging whatever he wants just for the satisfaction of watching them crawl back for more and then call him "lovable".... I just can't. You're the type of person that's going to end up in an abusive relationship if you're not already in one.

@@racingbeats1493 lucky for me I’m in a healthy relationship with a women, been married for 6 years. I was just mentioning that dude was smart and seemed honest. Had nothing to do with being naive to the type of person I date. Have a blessed day :)

I grew up in Santa Ana, I moved out when I was about 14. I was in a gang but it wasn't anything too serious but sometimes I think what if I didn't move to Temecula. After school I would go out do mischievous things without supervision. I suspect my grandparents who took care of me were too busy and expected me to be "playing". Sometimes I wonder if I would have been like these people, someone formed by circumstance and poor decisions. Growing up my uncle would tell us stories of his gang life and he would joke about my grandparents phrase " otra ves" which means, again. Since my uncle was a gang member people would shoot up my grandparents home and every time my grandpa would yell "OTRA VES". It became a funny story but when you really think about it, its sad. Luckily no one was ever hurt.

This dude's full of himself

[@bethanykounds9056]

Most people are. Habits of speech, attitude, manner, these things that develop over time - sometimes as a consequence of the lives we lead - they don't just disappear.

You could tell right off the bat this homeboy is SOLID!! Best of luck homeboy!!

[@absurd_patience]

Reevaluate why and what you consider solid. Does it better you or other's? They all talk when the right ppl have you. ( Not 12 )

I wish I could have empathy, but for the first time in these interviews I cannot. Sadism is frightening.

He is still alive because there is a bigger plan for him. He has a natural charisma that could serve him well to do things for the good. I wish him well.

Great content!

"What a waste" the three most painful words to hear from a man u look up to.

[@Sabrina-LosAngeles]

As though as he is, there is something very gentle and kind about him

[@erict9402]

This guy is so cool!.... an amazing human - It takes a real man, to admit his faults. Stay clean my friend! you will not regret it! I'm clean and sober for 9 years now.

[@rjmartinez3118]

U should get a cartel member interview that will be a whole other level

This is how poverty is handed down through generations of family.

[@godver555]

Is there a website where iI can view the photography shown in the interviews?

[@kathleenbradley6383]

I agree with an earlier poster. He comes off nice and friendly, but his words are sometimes chilling. Manipulating. Bullying behavior. Power tripping on and taking advantage of people who are hurting with their drug addictions. Sick. Cruel. Unlikeable. Do better. Be better.

[@LisaKay87]

16:40 creeped me out....how he smiled when talking about having control

[@WontSeeReplies]

Genuine truthful decent man.
