He toughed it out the whole interview and when they brought up his father he started crying... talking about murdering other brothas but the only thing that brought him to tears was his deadbeat dad... family, we don't understand the importance of being in our children's lives... this is a result.

[@bradcarter3015]

Marcus well said brother

[@Authentic1874]

Very true

[@jameskerr2812]

Agreed. Since his father was absent, as he readily admitted to, he sought out male role models in the streets. It's rather unfortunate too, he's rather intelligent and articulate. I think fatherless homes are the #1 systemic issue coupled with drug use in these neighborhoods. Sadly, communities like these have changed very little, if not regressed worse than when this aired.

He is a con artist: period. He wasn't "made" as he's conned you into thinking. He had many advantages many other minorities didn't have, however he chose to live the way he did.

my tears fall for this young man who truly didn't have a chance. I became a widow with 2 young boys very young in life, and I learned pretty quick that there were certain things I couldn't teach my boys. I loved them, fed them, clothed them, worked hard to keep them safe, but eventually they have to make their way in the world. I knew I couldn't bring a 'part time step dad' into their lives so I chose to never introduce them to any dates I went on. Now, they are grown and I am married to a wonderful man who respects me and has slowly forged solid and true relationships with them. He's never tried to be their father, but they sometimes call and ask to speak to him, and I hand the phone over and never ask what the conversation's about. Call it this woman's intuition, but I think they're learning how to be better men from him now and I want that for them. Father's?? be there for your son's cos you've been MIA for too long.

You can tell that Kody wasn’t comfortable with the judgement that was being placed on his life while in the spotlight. He almost cringes at the interviewers reaction at times. In the words of Kody, one must “overstand” to understand his life.

[@davidguzman6616]

Bruh for real ? , there is people who fight and get bullied by people like him You are honestly lost If you think a grown man has years to decide and change his life And still decide to gamgbang deserves Sympathy to people who actually made choices to avoid those situations

"uve shot nd killed people" "ive had an eventfull life" lmao

higherthan u but he was dead serious bro... not a game... notice how he snapped in then thought of it and had to escape back out in his own mind

[@phreshmilk5686]

At 12:50 the fact that the narrator said that Kody being a black separatist was more dangerous than him being a Crip, responsible for possibly hundreds of black lives lost, is quite telling

[@Nastydealerr]

Facts I peep the Dog whistle with that also but I like his come back when he said general Swartz ‼️😒

[@dustinfidge4016]

I believe he became so violent because he was scared. He wanted to hurt people before they hurt him. This all stems from physical and psychological abuse.

[@RudolphWhite]

It was and became his trigger.

[@icebergcoldblooded6102]

He made me be an even greater father when he talked about his dad not there. I shedded a tear too. God rest your soul brother 🌹🙏🏿

[@wicksreality]

Most people will never understand the power of peer pressure...When your mother moves into a neighborhood as a single parent and works 40 plus hours a week to keep a roof over your head and food on the table...Very easy for negative influences to consume a young man who is already lost without any direction from a strong caring male figure...Very easy to fall between the cracks and get sucked into the vacuum of gang life...Many times the street niggas filled that void that the fathers absence left..."I Hung With The Thugs And Even Though They Sold Drugs They Showed A Young Brother Love ~ Tupac

[@VredesStall]

Wicko They are looking for a surrogate family of some kind or any kind. Peer Pressure is, indeed, very powerful... especially on impressionable young boys who don't know any better... well, almost... as most people usually have a good idea of right and wrong.

The war is for no reason just the destruction of human beings. The most chilling line I've heard

[@LDehaut]

Humans are a the bait created by God in a spiritual war. He almost understood what is going on. This means evil spirits were attracted to earth because of humans, bit the bait, swallowed millions, but some cannot be touched, and are saved. Millions will end up destructed in hell fire for eternity, but many will be crowned in glory for eternity also. This is man's reason for existence. It is written in thew Bible, but if you are blind, you cannot see this.

[@mikeleary8300]

[@Kollin011]

This man isn't a sociopath nor a narcissist I can tell just from the way he carries himself. I don't know what the prosecutor was implying that since she must deal with real sociopaths all the time. She however has an interesting body language. Projecting???? He is however susceptible to manipulation by narcissists from what I read in his book and his naivety at being set up to be killed when he was 16 was astounding. It's really incredible to be this violent and not have a personality disorder.

[@treyvonsmith2349]

Yoo. He shed the gangster tear and everything.

[@ketomom4637]

The mother says it all. If she didn’t have to work 3 jobs, she may have been able to prevent this. Once the state took the fathers out of the home, this is what happens. So sad.

The real monster here is SingleMotherhood. I'm currently reading this book for the second time. His mother married another man who neglected Kody. Never showed him affection the way he did with his own kids. Single mother hood is the enemy of the PEOPLE.

[@fijagorockabilly4527]

I read his book when it came out. He's the same age as me, I'm a white UK woman, and reading that scene in the supermarket killed me. All I could think was how the fuck do you deal with that environment at that age? You don't, you adapt, you engage with what is around you. He's a very intelligent guy and had no immediate choice

[@SinewRending]

*I don't wholly agree. I am no conservative, either. I will just point out that with the exception of his brother Kershaun, none of his other siblings got sucked into the gang life. That being said, the factors that set the stage for Kody joining the Crips and becoming Monster were and are quite prevalent. I just got back from visiting Los Angeles for the first time yesterday. Those conditions are still there, and have magnified.*

[@SinewRending]

@Realestate1 *No, it's just that you are out of your depth.*

The reporter is so full of himself. So righteous and condescending. Of course what Kody did is wrong but I want a more objective interview. Great book, btw, worth a read.

“Where I lived we grew and lived in dog years, actually some dogs out lived us” damn that’s a crazy way to put it man.

[@Meetingpeoplefive]

This is and he could have been one of the greatest leaders we could have ever had. His father Dick Bass failed miserably, on what his son could have been on every level. He's obviously very intelligent, well spoken, articulate and knows the issues at hand.

[@bossteamentertainment6836]

This is way deeper than an absentee father. Black people have suffered from absentee fathers since being kidnapped and trafficked away from their original land and families. Then for 250 years+ of constant breaking up selling off Black Families. Then the new generation is left stripped and ignorant of their long ago duties and roles and in actuality have no place to use them and are not allowed to assimilate into other cultures to learn the basics and regain values and responsibilities as he hasnt even been allowed to bear his own responsibility of self so how was he to do it for another and when he has no solid family structure or village to draw from? And every means have been employed to impede or disrupt his journey to rebuild and re-establish himself in a place where his civil rights are not guaranteed and protected to the extent of all others? Way deeper than what you talking
