I can’t imagine how crazy it must be to see your dad on here. So happy to hear he’s back in treatment! He is strong and he is going to make it. So many people have faith in him and are rooting for him. I wish you, your dad and your whole family much success, blessings, happiness and love.

My dad died at 55 from a drug induced stroke. Was never there for us. Moms still on pills and a total mess. I know how it is. But I made something of myself and so can you brotha!

Prayers to your dad and if he see's this, don't give up on yourself bro, lots of love. As a person of color I love ya and keep moving forward in positive way's , changing those negative habits that don't serve us anymore if they ever did.

You have no idea how much you just giving him your time & understanding means to a father. I have 3 sons and when I'm down and out I may not express it well, but that's when I NEED them the most. God bless you and your family 🙏

Life asked a lot of this man. He’s answering.

JT Are you gonna make things right with the people you fucked over in Oklahoma?

Then pay me for what you stoled. You are the worst as they come. I've done nothing but good for you. Give ya a place to live ( free) gave you money, food. Clothes. Gas, you've never.not once in the years I've known you ever paid for anything..you have took my lively hood away.. I'll never get it back. If your so damn honest tell me where you sold my equipment. That's right . The first step is to make it right to the ones you done wrong. You are a monster. Do the right thing when it happens, send her body home!!!!

We’re all just winging it. Be well. Nobody has it figured out.

I can relate to you and the things you said a lot man. It's kinda frightening how much.

If this is really you….thank you. Thank you for your honesty. Thank you for fighting for abused kids and giving their abusers exactly what they deserve. I wish you the best in your recovery and your future. There’s a beast of a heart inside all of your pain. Please let that one rule. ❤

I am so happy to read this comment!! Thank you for the update. This is one of the few interviews that really stuck with me, so happy to hear he’s doing so well! So happy to hear about his success!!

Men get credit for the most basic things. You have a very low bar.

I like him. Every person is valuable.

It's called brokenness.

​@BeKind2AllKinds judging by your comments on here, you're a far left-ideologue who hates men. Find somewhere to spew your nonsense. Plus, the irony of someone like you saying the bar is low...

@@BeKind2AllKindsHaha coming from miss be kind 2 all kinds lol you feministic pipsqueak!

He’s coming down from dope bro it’s so obvious! Everything he is saying is Bs if you know you know

Well said, this one hit different for me too.

@@beachboi_lb1612bs? I’ve done dope, I know dope heads. He’s pretty sincere.

"I’ve watched a lot of Marks interviews but this one hits me differently." Why the fk is this same damn comment, said in almost the same exact way by different people on EVERY SINGLE ONE of these videos?? Trust me, he's a con artist. As a recovering addict I know how we are when actively using. We lie and we steal. If he's still using, he's still doing those things. But go ahead and be duped by him, not saying I can't appreciate the kindness you have in your heart but ppl like you are the kind of people that get preyed upon by people like him

Kind of helps that he's day 1 out of rehab too. People that have never had treatment will usually blame others.

Damn, I hope he sees this!

You're a very good friend. I hope he sees this.

Everybody up vote this so he sees it

Dude, drive out there and get him before it's too late.

I hope you are able to get in contact with him and get him home one way or another!

Jonathan, I'm a recovering heroin addict. Relapsed 2 1/2 years ago. Clean again. Don't beat yourself up. Just keep trudging forward. My son was with the skin head movement for a minute, but heroin took him down quicker. I raised my kids sober for 20 years but the oxy craze got both my sons in high school. Both clean for years now. I know it's hard. I can hear your sincerity. You have a lot to offer. Much love to you. XOXO

Hopefully he sees this and reaches out to you. He’d have to move his life around I’m sure, but you may quite literally be his fork in the road. Employers like you make this world a better place

✌🏻🦋🕊

Right on brother

Thank you for helping give a hand up out of hell/prison! Giving hope is the best gift we can give one another. Jonathan sounds like deep down he wants to get away from drugs. He can do anything if he wants too. Sending love & light to everyone ✨️ 💖✨️Blessed Be 💜

Praying for you...

What's a parent?

A lot of people shouldn't be parents! How can you lead by example for your child when the example that you're "leading" is destruction? These individuals were never leaders let alone a guardian to anybody.

@@disguiseddv8ant486 What can we do? ... nothing. China was onto something with limited offspring. Now we need to step it up even more with another system. We are animals that can think, but only sometimes do we really think accordingly.

You cant blame your mother and father. Noone is perfect so we must all understand, lead with love and forgive. Even the best of intentions may falter.

As someone who basically grew up without parents from 12 on - until then I had fairly normal, very happy life - I used to think I had everything figured out and I didn’t need adults because I thought I was an adult at 14. After making a job out of studying successful people throughout history and in my life, as well as analyzing my own life I can say with certainty that the biggest single predictor for success in life is a strong family and good parenting. I can also tell you having lived in many places abroad that the rat race and the mindset in the USA has successfully destroyed our families over the last 50 years. Both parents are forced to work, unless you’re wealthy enough to have one stay at home, meaning children are raised by the government in schools, which is why kids are turning out more and more confused as the generations go by. My generation was still relatively normal (early 80s kid), but each successive generation I have seen is more and more disconnected and confused. If we want a strong society we need strong families. You hit the nail on the head. God bless!

Its fake and they're clowns

Good job, brother!

You hit a wall going 1000mph? WTF.

The more time you put in between yourself and your last use, the easier it gets.

He looks lost😢

Yeah at the end of the interview, he says he's not too spiritual but he's going to pray, but he doesn't know who to pray to. He needs to call upon the Lord Jesus Christ. God will have mercy on him when he just believes on Jesus Christ for eternal life. John 6:47. John 11:25-26. 1 John 5:13. He doesn't need to change. All he needs to do is say yes to God by believing on the Son of God Jesus Christ.

​@@YuYu-we2ysno one said he was a "good" man, but he did a good thing. And he didnt say the gang made him beat the chomo. I think most people with a spine would do the same thing.

"..in the penitentiary system they tend to protect chomo's for some reason, so if you touch'em, you get street charges.." FUBAR.

@@mindquad779" And he didnt say the gang made him beat the chomo. " - If you're "clicked" up, you have to. At least in the CDC, if you are caught with in reach of a chomo, and you don't take flight on him, you WILL get taxed (reprecussions).

disgusting that you commend vigilatism. Who is to say his contact didn't just pass on false information?

@@MonsieurKaizerThey don't go based of "contact info", if you paid attention to this interview you hear that they base it off their "paperwork", i.e. what the court system has charged them with. Make sure you never end up in prison or a war if you hate vigilantism so much, because you WILL participate in it if you do.

Nobody cares asshole 😂

I’m asking this out of genuine curiosity because I just recently found out my girlfriend’s father used to associate with the brotherhood. What makes a person want to align themselves with those kinds of beliefs and values?

🤣🤣🤣

He’s a fucking dope fiend liar, he was never an ab shot caller🤣

❤

Not all of them I’m afraid. I agree though that this guy is straight up.

*Thank you.*

What the hell is wrong with u man

Yea, I knew it the second he said he had a great child hood but was raised by his granny's. I know what he meant by it, but I know that that's where all this started. I've seen it plenty a time with why+3 boys (and others).

​@MR-backup I think grannys raising kids is a constant in the broken parts of every race. You see it in the trailer parks, the ghetto, and the Barrios. A little less in the Barrios because they are so insanely family oriented, but still common. I actually worry for the Black community for that reason... there's fewer and fewer grannys who are righteous, good women who don't engage in any toxic lifestyle. The gen-X grannys are NOT like the golden generation grannys and the millenial Grannys are gonna be even worse in the next 20 years. I don't know what will happen when the cornerstone of a lot of poor black communities, the Black grandmother, basically goes away.

@@Silence-and-Violence *Oh, shut up.*

You can't go to Cali prison and try know anything of the oaklahoma AB. It ain't recognised and they Gunna more then smash on you bro. You need stay out at all costs.

so sorry about your brother.

@@dleyba3199 thank you 🤍

Tell me how he flooded a cell up to his knees? Why is he calling it a patch like it's a MC? Why was he SNY since sex offenders automatically go to SNY?

Bullshit, he's such a liar..

​@@somewelderthey all don't go to sny

​@@somewelderGood questions. Inquiring minds want to know. 🤔

I wish him the best.

You are helping by having an open mind and heart......We all need to appreciate one another.

You're right, it really should be required viewing for kids

they should have an entire class on this show, and watch videos everyday

The interview doesn't do anything for anyone except those who decide to be good to others because of it. You can't help anyone out of depression by telling them not to be depressed. Once you're depressed, this is all inevitable.

​@@brettbanta210022

it's a good idea but there's too many triggers, you have to be 18 to watch these videos

Yeah, hell do it the rest of his life in prison.

lol he’s a part of the brotherhood there’s no such thing as a decent brother

@MetalRush666 You found words to describe an emotion I’ve felt since I was cognizant. Since I can remember

Especially his word. Ain't worth a shit!

Life is what you make it to be, if it is hard there is a reason for that, you. What spiral was he on from day 1? he was brought up by his grandparents and had a good childhood, only spiral was doing drugs at 16, that is a personal choice, he had the opportunity not to do it but chose to, what circumstances was he not in control of? self control would be my guess, it's easy to do drugs and its easy not to, your choice, choose your path wisely.

⁠​⁠@@thebob3712life is hard af I don’t know what your smoking lol

@@nicolesawyer7117 read the above comment, if your life is hard af maybe you are too stupid for it not to be. My life is easy

The opportunities to help are endless, and we never know who is watching and listening as we go about our daily lives. That's why it is so important to actually work a program of recovery. In doing so, we can present the best versions of ourselves to others. I can't help anyone, if my own house is not in order. Your desire to help Chelsea, is a huge part of sobriety, and I wish you all the best! My mantra is, "Live in the problem, or live in the solution". Simple!...Mark

@@morehn mark my words, he will get to you people al . He is incourgable ..don't say o didn't earn you.. oh.o.did like the part where he called his own mom a whore.

Thanks man. He’ll need some words of encouragement after doing so. It’s a really hard thing to do. Believe me. Even tho it’s the right thing to do it feels so wrong. Even when you know it’s all bs.

Don't fall for it

@@darrellmcguire107 I'm genuinely interested to hear why you say that?

@@darrellmcguire107why

@@patmassey89 because I've tried to help him for years. Giving him a place to live, food,money. All the tools to work with to be a working citezin then he and his girlfriend sets me up for my good deed.had me arrested for several charges started with assault and batt. Then jailed . Thousand of dollars to get out. Thousands of dollars for lawyer. And now looking at 25 years for prison. While in jail they rented a U-Haul and took hundreds of thousands of dollars in tool and equipment in shop. Titles,deeds, and paper work to file power of atty to claim my life. Then loaded my fifth wheel to take it. But I bonded out before they left with it.lived in my house for a week before I got out. Sold my cloths and anything of value I had over 250,000 dollars lost. Took a life time to get. I'm 61 and I'll never recouperate what I lost. And probly spend the rest of my life in prison. So, to say I ask why. I've talked to many,many people he has done the same thing to. His enterveiw looks fake. Instead of bragging about his lies, he should be saying to his victims I'm sorry let me make it right. So there's your answer.

Rock bottom is a great place to build a firm foundation

While I heavily agree with your sentiment, that low points can be really pivotal moments, sometimes a bottom is a false bottom, it can always get worse if you don’t recognize it as a pivotal moment.

@@lucasvarela9632 I can’t speak for anyone but me, but having a sponsor is absolutely crucial to my recovery. One thing that has kept me clean is following simple suggestions in recovery whether I want to do them or not. It gets me out of myself and gives me an opportunity to grow.
