      Spooky , when I started watching ur video, I thought it was going to be a bunch of Crap. Nope, I was wrong, everything you had to say was real. Spooky you would be a good guy to teach all these youngster's what gang banging is all about. You should look into mentoring youngster, who think gangbanging is the shit! But, as you said where we're the homies when you needed them the most??? Keep going forward and may God bless you and your family. I'd like to see another video about you in a year to hear how you been doing. That would be nice.😉

      So a boy is going to point out how a Real Man should think and feel? We all go through different experiences in life. Some leave us nasty scars and some decide to accept those scars and grow stronger. Yes it's a good thing when us Men express our emotions, only when we decide to do so and not because we feel pressured to do so. If you don't understand that then you have alot of growing up to do.

      I'm actually worried because it's VERY possible that he will get arrested for this.
      There's no statute of limitations on Murder. Which means that even if he murdered someone and 100 years later he confesses it, he can still get tried and charged.
      And in a video, him saying these things ESPECIALLY as a convicted ex felon, this video can be used as a confession and the evidence brought to court. Even without his real name, his face, tattoos, and stories can easily be looked up by law enforcement in their police database
      There are lots of cases where this has happened to people.
      Wish he hadn't be so detailed for his sake. But I loved hearing him

    Listening to Spooky brings back memories. I got out of it... from Colonia Chiques [COXCH]- from La Colonia in Oxnard. I joined the Army at 17 in 1980. Ended up in Special Forces as a Medical Sgt. I served 12 years and got out. I had PTSD long before I was ever a Green Beret. I worked and went from having a GED to having a Ph.D. in Psychology. I raised a family.
    I’m far from home today... from La Colonia. I moved a few years ago to Aurora, IL and now I’m living the retired life in the Philippines.
    But listening to Spooky, I realize I am not proud of myself. I may have “succeeded” in the eyes of others. But the truth is- I abandoned my friends- mis carnales. I’m still that boy. The Guero and I miss my friends who have left us years ago. 2 of my partners got the death penalty. If I was with them that day, I would have got it too.
    I should have stayed home and left with those that have passed. I’m no better or different. I was just given chances.
    My wife is lying right beside me at the moment. She’s trying to decide whether to order pecans or almonds off the internet. She has absolutely no clue about the life I once lived. There is almost no one alive still that does. Unspoken secrets. I’m glad you made it Spooky.

    This is one of the most genuinely emotional, articulate interviews of the series. Given his intelligence, he could have become almost anything and possibly still could. Too bad he grew up fully immersed in gang culture and never saw an alternative, like so many others in these interviews. I wish universities had programs that seek out people like him and give them a shot at being successful without engaging in violence or crime.

    Yess first johnny Casper a dew days ago and now spooky, my two top favorite guys that youve interviewed by far, keep it up and keep the reflections of a gangster coming they are all awesome. Spooky looks a little better in this vid, he was really down and depressed as well as pretty high in his last vid talking about his daughter and dad who died, he was just a mess i felt his pain and suffering i felt so bad for him. But yeah keep these reflections of a gangster coming they are some of my favorite videos, theae are some real ass tough dudes that are gifted storytellers with wild stories that more people ought to hear, and all sorts/kinds of life experience to boot.

My brother beat me too, when I was a child. My dad got another woman pregnant when I was 10. My parents signed me over to the state, when I was 15. I was a ward of the court until my 18th birthday. Is that "White" enough for you?

      Isi Santos I am glad to hear that because as a mom you get that feeling that the friends don’t really grieve your kids, it seems that they are forgotten and don’t get me wrong I know that some of my sons friends haven’t forgotten them but it feels like it sometimes that’s just me thinking from a moms view. No disrespect to you but I have so much hurt and pain that only a mom who has lost a child would know. It’s a saying I go by and it goes like this IF YOU ARE STRONG YOU WILL STAND TALL AND IF YOU ARE WEAK YOU WILL FALL. I say that I have a few friends who lost one child and they are walking the streets like a zombie as if they have loss their minds and believe me I have loss 2 sons I think I should have killed myself long ago because that’s how much I don’t wanna hurt anymore!!! It really sucks to be me and I cant even change nothing, so I feel for every parent who has lost a child.

      RIGHT! My daughter just died and my son is serving 18 yrs in prison and I promise you the “ friends” who led them down the wrong road where no where to be found! In fact as my daughter laid in a hospital bed in her room on hospice dying her boyfriend already moved on and had another girlfriend bc we wouldn’t let him see her 🤬 and of course my sons “ friends” all turned their back on him ....the ones who were still alive ! It’s a cruel world we are living in!
