If you can’t do that, you have no good reason to have children until you can nurture care and educate your child...if we all did that, this world would cure itself of criminals and there would be no need to label them for their crimes. If you can’t appreciate the label, then don’t commit the crime. Let’s do our part by mentoring these kids to help them become success stories instead of another number in prison.

With poverty, horrible social infrastructure, no opportunities, no programs for rehabilitation, broken home/family unit etc.. The united states government has their hand in starting many criminal enterprise's/Gangs/terrorist groups. But, we never talk about the fact that they're bigger criminals than the actual gangs most of the time. Hope this gentleman is doing well and has the strength to help many people.

I hear a lot of guys speak about gangs and prison having gone through that myself for a third of my young life, & I can spot phony's when I hear them pretty much right off the bat. This guy is real, sincere, and truthful. One of the things that convinces me that he's truthful is that he doesn't exaggerate things like a lot of guys tend to do.

I grew up in LA played baseball in Queen Anne, Normandie, and Ardmore park in K town. The good ol day’s when we had all star games. MS and their enemies were always around but didn’t mess with us. We had solid coaches that would speak to em, no messing around while we played. Those that didn’t grow up in LA mid-City, K- town this mans story is solid I’m almost 40 now, those were some crazy times. But in the hood it was just a normal day. People getting shot and the ghetto bird trying to catch shooters that were long gone. I’m Salvadorian and I’m very familiar with machetes, and corbos. Y’all stay safe! Peace out!

George is so intricate on describing how unfulfilling the gang life is.It’s very sad. Congrats on the 180 tho. Let’s hope the youth can see how misguided the gang life truly is through Mr. Lopez program. Good luck to you all.
