I like his story on how the West Side started forming. It may not have been some well thought out plan and "organic" in nature. It happens in all walks of life where major movements , bands, clubs or whatever just happen to grow out of nowhere. If the elders at that time where 17 -20 years old ? Makes sense to me.

I do know though that there were a numerous professional athletes that came out of Fremont High School, probably more than any other High School in Los Angeles County. I will say for sure though that the Southern League produced the most professional athletes. That's without a doubt.

Hopefully later in the interview he asked him about his friendships with tookie, Raymond, buddha and Mike christian, especially Mike Christian, Raymond, and buddha they don't talk enough about those three, "they'll say stuff like they were good dudes and they had hands lol" if the older crips knew them so well how come you can't share more stories about what it was like growing up with them, if you were there from day one you should have infinite stories about how it was in the early crip years good and bad, when you describe a person you don't always have to point out the bad things they did.

Anybody freely in the streets of South Central were, had to be mentally alert to the ways, norms and survival modes to be a part of a new age during these times. During the pre-formal gang naming, many stayed friends, often naively, with "just classmates" who would soon change into near unrecognizable gang members. The streets were very dramatic. Many Hollywood movie scenes were being acted out before your eyes. No glorification...but congratulations on understanding boyhood is different than manhood. SCLA Grad 73' ❤️ _ USC WHS
