@new Leaf u don't kno that u donno what ive been threw or what ive done. But lol id let him stay a night or two maybe a few, u kno hed be strapped and prolly be bringing in a few bucks so at least id be safe and be able to eat haha!! But cmon how many people would actually let this dude stay in their house for a week or more.. and if you say that you would then thats great but im talking about other people. You make a good point tho, id still look out for him over other people out there hes got his head on somewhat straight compared to others.

Also was humbling to hear him talk about getting burnt and caught slipping after all his other stories and people accusing him of being full of shit, was interesting to hear the other side of that life.

Johnny you’ve had quite the life, I hope you feel like this story telling is therapeutic and helpful to others. I was a sheltered 13 yr old girl raised in the ghetto in a suburb of Chicago. My mom only let me ride my bike around the block lol. The ghetto is real and I’m thankful that my parent’s friend was able to get us out of there after our house got robbed and some punk tried to fight their pit bull against my golden retriever. The stories are endless but this is your page, not mine. Hope you’re living a safe and better life. Namaste 🙏

[@cilla-themusiclover]

I've been following every video of Johnny on Soft White Underbelly because I truly am fascinated with Johnny's reflections of life as a gang member. Johnny would be a great screen play writer. Listening to him reflect on his life, I feel he could have easily written the screen play for the movie "Blood in, Blood out". It would have probably been a better movie. For Johnny I wish him much Love and peace.❤

@Jack of all Trades lol so you're telling me this guy ran 6 prison yards was a high ranking member of la eme, was a drug kingpin and runs skid row and is the boss of all bosses like he says yet hes sleeping in a tent on skid row. I can tell you believe everything on the internet and you live in a fantasy world also.... no my whole family isnt from the hood, I got some family from the country some from the suburbs some from the hood but I dont have any family from fairy tale land like where you and your people seem to be from where just cause someone talks over and over you believe everything they say. This guy is a joke watch his videos and you will see hes lying

[@CSAcrazy]

It's funny too how he tries to spin that scar on his face and how he says he takes pride in it and he got it cause he Carrys himself highly. You get cut on your face in prison because you either snitched/talked too much or you are no longer good with your gang. But this guy jas a great story for everything. If you believe anything this guy says watch his first video on here where he claims he was the leader of the Mexican mafia in prison and how he got out and finessed his way into being a drug kingpin and how he is the leader of skid row and how hes an assasin that's killed 32 people and how hes rich and sits back and runs the whole drug trade in downtown Los Angeles and how people have to go to him to clear any decision and how he traffics kilos of drugs and runs the biggest operation but he sleeps in a tent on skid row and then realize how stupid you gotta be to believe this guy and then you will realise which one of us has more intelligence and common sense cause I never believed this guy

With passing of the years, the homies that maintained and embraced the old school stereotype cholo/pachuco attire of pendletons, khakis, bandanas, and hairnets , etc. drew attention to themselves and created targets on their backs.

I like Johnny because he reminds me of the rebel spirit of America. There's the oppressor and the oppressed, the rulers and their subjects, the jailers and their prisoners. America was born in rebellion, but we're becoming a nation of cucked, sniveling, authoritarian idiots. As I'm watching another video of "Covid camps" in Australia--people literally imprisoned in mass camps with barbed-wire fences around them--I'm thinking "WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE JOHNNY". We need to defend our freedom. Our freedom is our "hood". We can't let anyone take that from us.
