I have met people on all level of life that are gang members or scumbags, what has him picking bad choices young got to do with his way of talking. U woke 🤡

same thing I have in mind yes, he may have strayed to a dark path but he was able to turn his life around and helping others kudos for him and what he is able to do and will be doing in the future

He's also doing something very positive. I think he's right in saying that gang culture in 10 years from now could become a very serious problem for young people growing up in London. I say good luck to you sir. You definitely come across as a person young people will listen to, and it's so pleasing to know that you are putting that to good use.

So you do realize how racist your statement is? This channel interviews white x criminals as well. Would you say they are very well spoken as well?

i wonder how many people life he has ruined before he started his "new life" lifes now in happiness i dont think the victims of his action will be able to say the same

Immagine selling drugs for 10k a month and then having a job paying 3k.

@@onlyeveryone2253 with that 3k a month you’re not as likely to wind up dead or behind bars lol

@@extremelucky1 easily said when all your friends and family ain't involved or in the area. Job prospects are bad for ex gang members so 3k a month isn't happening. These kids are recruited in poverty areas where there are no people working 3k jobs. Poverty and lack of advancements create drug crime. Being 10 and making 800 a week when your parent works 50 hours for 800 it's not rocket science.

@@sanderson9338 some of these guys had near death experiences and the ones that are smart enough get out of the crime life.

@@extremelucky1 not smart enough that's the mistake people make there are many smart criminal drug dealers that can't get out. The lucky ones get out. It's not an intelligence issue it's a social issue.

Its not easy man. A lot of these guys start very young and just like anything else after being exposed so young it is hard to kick. No doubt him making it out is a very good thing.

If these fools don't make their 20's it's their own fault. It's their life choice to run with the gangs and if they do so you have to run with the risks! I certainly won't be losing sleep when a gang member gets done in!

@@sleepparalysisdemon6 I think a lot of people forget or don't see it that way.A lot of these kids don't wana be part of these gangs after realising what it's really like but just can't leave.Mainly cos of fear from their fellow gang members and also they make enemies with rival gangs and once they leave won't have the support from their gang anymore if anything happens.Its a trap from the beginning and sometimes I think some are pressured into joining not necessarily to make money but they start off with just affiliation and get sucked into deeper friendships forcefully.Its so sad and evil

@@idk_r7887 you need to stop them from geting that first taste of incarceration. its all downhill from there. ive done 8 sentences and accumulated 9yrs 8months behind bars, not including remand time! i remember my first prison sentence is where i learned of the money to be made stealing cars or robbing fancy car stereos. even better if together! double whammy! i learned how to blackbox, hotwire and snap steering locks with ease.... hint...you dont do it by force... you use a scaff bar on the barrel. exposes black box so much quicker!! i was buzzing to be released and try this out... and i did... only i didnt know how to drive... i was 14......i crashed cars... left a trail of devastation... got another 4 months of criminal college. yrs later at 16 id be offered an apprenticeship, but would be recalled for missing a probation appointment by 15 mins... i spent a long time as a criminal until 7 yrs ago when i said no more jail... theres always another path, but once its ingrained in you...its hard to escape. you just double down... kids should be protected from themselves as they cant correctly see the repercussions that are looming, whilst also being ridiculously easy to lead is a dangerous combo exacerbated by the policing and judicial policies currently in effect. these undoubtedly need changing if we are to save our children from lives such as my own.

Facts these politicians are too detached to deal with problems like these someone with real experience in that world understands the problem and a better solution

Yeah... let the government work with criminals.... Ooh wait.... They do already. The government invented gangs, nothing to teach them.

As every comment said hes nice we should do as he says...... Thing is HES the exception, and all he says has been done and done soz but it is true

"listen to omar to find solutions" Dude, he wants photo ID for knives. He's probably a good guy who wants to help but a lawmaker he is not. This is how it always goes, the government sees people doing something they don't like and they ban things to appease the people worried.

I applaud this blogger - he is a survivor-!!!

On god boi

not sure if you should trust him that easily. thats him finding escuses for his illegal actions, its a very common pattern to justify criminal activity playing the victim card. for example, I didnt go to med school, but I could go to 100 job interviews to work as a doctor and I would simply not be accepted. is this a plausible reason to join a gang?

@@jocampe62 I don't think you really understand anything that he's talking about. He isn't playing any victim card. He's straight up telling you what is the reason. Do you think people is evil simply because they were born evil? If the man was born in a privilege life, a good neighborhood, do you that he would join a gang? Plus in no way that he's glorify gang life style and he did said in the video that he regret that lifestyle.

@@jocampe62 There's a difference between him playing the victim card and you being incapable of comprehending the socio-economic factors that drive people to do what they need to do in order to keep food in their stomachs and a roof over their head. Going straight to the top with "doctor" shows exactly how far your mentality is from reality. We're not talking about high-end jobs, we're talking about jobs, full stop. When not even entry level jobs will hire someone, their only remaining option is the streets, in some way. And being in a gang is far more palatable to many than homelessness, specifically for the sense of comradery. Frankly, your comment shows a truly disgusting level of naivety with regards to life in general.

I know I'm used to ebonics from American sub culture. Most people assume every black man will be this stereotype. It's sad. Have this conversation with my dad often, " their not all like that, we are all the same person with different experiences."

@@rahuldahoob I believe it. Ofc not every lawyer and so on is a crime boss but it doesn’t sound too far fetched 🤷🏾‍♂️

@@Destiny15It’s not far fetched; it’s true. These gangs are usually funded or led by persons who hold or have held some powerful, prominent or well paying positions in society. Criminal organizations cannot survive without connections and good funding. It’s definitely not far fetched. In fact, it’s the norm.

Hahaha never, there is always a way

That’s what I’m saying!

@@Kingsston He is certainly doing more for society than someone like you, who insists on pushing/reducing people back to their violent/criminal pasts. That sort of behaviour actually encourages people to fall back into old patterns, so you are actively counteracting his work in getting people off of their wrong paths. So by now, he definitely deserves more praise than you do.

​@@Kingsstonstupid stupid comment.

You're crazy if you think this is remotely accurate

@@mausegetlit363 I am clinically crazy true, how did you know? Apart from that, around 80% of my friends/acquaintances have had first hand experience in criminal matters. Not going into details but I do know quite a lot about the systems of different gangs, cartels all around the world. It is a really fascinating topic, so there are many many truths for one part of the world, that does not apply to every other gang on the world. On a basic level this video represents a solid summary of how gangs work. If you do not believe me and my experience (I could lie it is the Internet, I give you that), just look at psychological/socio-economical studies about that topic.

@@mausegetlit363 Were you in a gang? Because this dude was. So unless you were your opinion means nothing

What's crazy is your limited ability to comprehend how intelligence is not defined by one's level of criminality. Rather, his socio-economic circumstances. What is being blatantly ignored however is that the people at the top of the drug cartel pyramid are usually well educated white men who know how to funnel their money whilst performing as a respectable, law abiding citizen. Now that's crazy!

-criminal record = tick.

You got all that from this video? Even loyalty?

@@wingaard I don't come from a 'very salubrious background' myself. However, it didn't stop me getting out, getting two degrees, learning a few languages and making something of myself. Never write a man off because he got a rough start and fell in with a bad crowd.

@@dingleberry4234 Yes. He's alive and they know he won't talk or he wouldn't be making this video. Why? He's loyal, steady, capable and they liked him. He decided one day he couldn't do it anymore and went in to have the tough talk to management. That's what an adult does - children whine and complain or run away. His managers undoubtedly conferred and as with any commercial operation they discussed the risks and the course of action. When you have a bloke who has served you well but reaches his limit you don't put a bullet in him. You offer him a bump up, the option of a vacation to get his head clear and you try to retain him if you can. Why? Capable people are very hard to find. However, good operator or otherwise if he is committed to leaving you let him BUT with the exit there are rules: 1. You leave and don't cause trouble or go to the competition(anti-compete clause/non-predjudice agreement). 2. You don't talk to anyone about your activities during your time with the firm or share secrets (the NDA). 3. We bung you a few quid to get yourself back on you feet and prevent trouble down the line (a severance package). As with any contract there are consequences for breaking our agreement. 1. You break our bargain and your family is done. We will make it an object lesson(we will sue you into bankruptcy) . You don't put a bullet in a man like that. For one thing it's bad for morale and another in few years you may need to send him a young lad who is similar and will need support. It's good karma. I've had close to 20 years in various industries - haulage, research, innovation, sales - and I've been around the block. I know what to look for in people for key roles. Been through the ringer and come out the other side having learned a few hard lessons without ending up bitter or with too much damage? Great I need a bloke like you. In my experience you look for both kinds of Phds - 'the rocket scientists' and the 'Poor, Hungry and Determined.' If you ever end up in management you basically become a surrogate parent to a number of adults who come to you with challenges from 'work challenges(usually easy)', 'I've got some personal issues and don't know what to do(my boyfriend has been knocking lumps out of me and I don't know what to do).' These people trust you and expect you to have all the answers. I first encountered this at 22 when a guy who was working for me came to me with a complex personal problem he needed solving. His youngest child was 3 years older than I was but he didn't know what to do and came to a man younger than his son for help. So with some help I sorted it out. That's how you build trust. Listen to this man speak. He gets it. You can't teach those skills it's either 'in you' or 'its not' and life experience helps mold that skillset.

Ok phill

What I also like about him is that he seems very much like a cat, has very cat-like features to him. Very feline should I say.

"This guy was absolutely brilliant, made me want to..." my brain: "don't join a gang, don't join a gang, don't join a gang..." "...go and learn more." Phew.

I've wanted to read this for so long man, on point!
