Great content it’s always good to hear from a individual from a unfamiliar gang. It’s sad the way how New York State jerk him and charge him as an adult when they should have charged him as a Youthful Offender (YO).
This dude is my brother from a different mother .. the system did him wrong .. he will take off his shirt and throw it on your back to keep you safe . Much respect . Never regretted a sec for the passed 20 years to have him as my family.. thank you brother.
Personally, I like the Chinese brothers because they’re humble and mind their own business. And when they befriend you, you got a friend for life in most of them. Like my Chinese brother Johnny lee.
That part
Us Asians need to stick together. ALL ASIANS. 💯🤝🤝
I agree with you bruh .
We have no chance like every other races do..Im Korean originally was born in Kazakhstan ex URSS..And when I was young im 40 now..u never let some1 gets on u even with simple word..Cause once u do u are doomed..It's like in prison 👍💣💥.Have nice day
@@andreitsoy5762 facts brother 🫡🫡🍻
@Ant Lao Filipinos are asian bro geographically and ethnically they are part of Asia
@Ant Lao Filipinos aren’t Asian? What are they considered
@Ant Lao u want a fkn cookie looser?
damn man 16 going to rikers island in the 80s specially being Asian tough guy man salute to him
I was a adolescent in Rikers Island in the 80s. I met a Chinese brother named Kim from one of those gangs and he was saying I would be a good member. I was surprised because I didn’t think they took in outsiders. But we became very good friends. I’ve never forgotten him. He could kick the ceiling and no one beat him in arm wrestling.
I went to college with a Chinese guy from Flushing that could round kick the top of the doors in the dorm. His name was Tony. He’s Chinese and I’m Italian. We got along great actually.
These stories are a great deterrent for a lot of young people. :)
I can say that the Chinese brothers are some of the realest people I’ve met. Not all but most are decent.
Would really like to hear about their specific gang life during the 80s. Thanks for the content !
A bunch of ghost shadow and flying dragons are fugitives
The answer is: the US Govt. The biggest gang in the usa
Definitely. china mac dad backstory
@@chinatowngangstories The government is the biggest crime group lol
This is an awesome channel. These stories need to be told. Do not join gangs because it's not worth it. Your enemies on the street are your best friends in prison.
Facts. And a lot of times, your own homeboys will turn on you if they think it will benefit them.
Love the way this Shorty talks. Like some Asian goodfellas.
Absolutely true. We’re all brothers inside. It’s us against the administration. I have always respected the Chinese people because of their humbleness and how they stick together. I really like that.
Been in the G life, the Elders always use the younger to do all the dirty work due to the fact they are gambling the fact they wont be charged as an adult
With all the Asian hate we need to stick together out here too.
A lao guy in New York in the 80’s in a Chinese gang, that’s crazy
early 90's in up state green c.f.
i had my buddies up there at that time.
nice to see u doing alright.
keep stay strong, bro.
Damn 80s were really crazy times.
Wish all the Asian gangs could've been cool with each other out here before they got locked away for all those years.
God Bless.
This interview should be played & shown in schools to preach kids today the rights & wrongs of being vulnerable teens. After listening to this interview, you can envision what he went through & his regrets but yet he had to pay the price. Like he said, if you see a problem, just walk away. It’s not even worthwhile which may have you end up in jail doing time. This is a great heartfelt interview indeed!
They have been doing that for decades. Kids/young adults don’t learn. I guess they stopped trying because a lot of ppl found the program controversial. The “program” that was out back then was called Scared Straight. If I remember correctly the show even had a follow up. I think it was Scared Straight 20 years later. Life is a struggle for ALL groups, nationalities, ethnicities. Some more than others though. 😭😭
Solid contents and very interesting to hear former Asian gangster stories, especially their childhood from there homeland prior to coming to the U.S.
Both your channels are probably my favorite on TH-cam
Sammy!what's up!
It's been a 20years. . .
This is KP Taey! Jack's right hand man .We were at green together. You were at A side and I was at B side K1. I remember you use to work at barbershop! Darn, what a good world we get to see each other on line like this!
right.
Sammy used to work at Barbershop.
I used to be there too.
I was in j Dorm, I think.
I left there 93.
u must have been there after I left.
I am in korea now.
I know some people in korea who had to leave n.y after time.
a wise man's words. listen to it hobby gangsters....
Much respect to this man. Sad that adults do not set them straight they only use them for their benefit.
There’s official tissue men from all sorts of backgrounds . Wild era . Dope seeing these dudes be able to grow old mature n put the next generation on to game
Just subscribed. No other channel has this type of content. OG’s from NYC’s Chinatown during the 80’s
Great interview and great channel. Keep it going, this platform is needed.
Salute to All the Asian Homies🤝
Bro spent the whole 90's in prison, imagine that
This is the second Asian interview I seen and they seem real asf.
On this channel basically every guy is legit. Uncle Big Head is my personal favorite interview. J from Tung On was also a fantastic interview.
Nothing but respect, peace to all Asians that have to survive in North America
Thanks and also peace to you
peace and positivity to you brother from a asian
I went to school with the Double Dragon Twins I remember when they got arrested and they went to Rikers Island and they got into a fight The Turtles came to get them and they were smashing the Turtles breaking their masks fucking them up it was crazy two little dudes rocking all them C.O's
Was that in 1974, because I heard two different versions.
I heard a Muslim brother talk about it. He said one of the brothers did a back flip over the turtles while his brother was scrapping with them. He landed behind them and started kicking the crap out of them with his brother…
I felt this is the only person learned his lesson and tried to warn others the hardship in prison. 😢 Also, I realized many gangs were created by immigrants kids because they were bullied.
Damn. Real cat speaking hard facts!
Keep up the great work… You’re the man Mike 🎉
These stories of rehabilitated OGs are so relatable. Subbed.
in uk much better
for anyone
very easy for japan chiny man
because language barrier
i like kenny come i invite uk
Time is what you make it. It can be tough, or it can be easy. We rather it be easy. That’s, those of us who are smart.
Love the new York accent with the Chinese accent is different im from Flatbush bk
This was great you gotta have him on again
God bless this man. He is for real. He is a for real human being and that's what all men should look at each other while doing time f*** all that gang s*** like he's saying
I'm not trying to be funny, but what happens to a young kid who's developing someone 16 that's never had sex or even knows about relationships. What happens to these people
Old school guys from the old days.. Sun Sing Theater , The Pagoda, The Music Palace, E Bway , Mott St. Queens Bolling alleys. Partys back in the day woodside queens , Sunny side Brooklyn , Wai Hong, Fu Jow pai Gung fu school , 7 star praying mantis Hester street .. summer nights in the park , played basktball--- Lots of memories
This guy sounds like he's Laos and not Chinese. I have friends who are Laos that sound just like him. 🤔
@@chinatowngangstories it says former Asian gang member but it doesn't say his specific race. I was really surprised to see a Cambodian member in the Chinese gang in one of your video! Pretty shocking.
Click on the dropdown next to the title for the description
@@chinatowngangstories I just saw it! Lmao!
@@sunputh8677 there were all kinds of people in Chinese gang back then ! Fuk ching had a few black people! There were even white people in Chinese gang
@@deroxanlit4181 damn! They need to interview the black guy.
As always great content ! Love to see more!
Big shout out to you Shorty brother love and respect💙🙌
Repect to this man.. Done it tough..
At 16 I. 93’ m, I got caught on some extremely petty shit at the arcade store, the arresting officers told me that because they couldn’t reach my father, they had no choice but to sent me through the central bookings. I ended up in c-74 I think if I recalled Mob7 on a $100 bail. As a ignorant youth I didn’t understand the meaning of having a
$100 bail. Wish I did , I would have never copped out to the bullshit! Railroad my the judge, DA and my public defendant. Corrupt ass beast!!
The homie!!!!
TH-cam recommended this. So I expect this channel to blow up soon.
This guy was in jail from 1989 to 2003 for real!? Whhaat; as a juvenile even!? 😲
Yeah that is a long time, like a long horrendous time.
When I was in hell on earth to keep my mind away from reality I drew a lot and wrote poems.
He should have got juvie life only
You do nail bro?
I know he’s a little older but i wonder if he crossed paths with chinamac. They were both ghost shadows
doubtful, he went to prison when chinamac was just a kid and 2003 China Mac was on the run
Interesting story can we get a part 2 from shorty ?🔥
Doing time..."92, 93, 94 it was fun"...lol
Him and China mac to need podcast together
China Mac isn't a real banger though
True..china mac's time was soft..the height of Chinatown gangs was 80's/early 90s
@@slee2695 don't get me wrong now. I like what China Mac is doing. You can tell he's a good dude. He's a real homie too! He's not in the same level as the OGz who bang in the 80s and 90s!
@@csick11 says u?
@@C1ark33yup!
Btk, gs and fd need to join forces and have a super gang
y did society make the 80s look soft but theey wasnt lol
How? Its soft now... it only gets tougher u more u go back in time
@@ilikeRUNE i mean buy a music standpoinr the music in the 80s made life look mad chill with saxaphones n stuff now we got rap n stuff
@@Funkylover-sl7ew if u wana look at rap... 80s was smart rap. 90s gangster rap, 2000s drug rap. 2010 retard mumble rap. if you look at it from a rap perspective... people getting dumber..... not tougher... dumber.
mr shorty
why u do long prison time for
My best friend's father was in BTK
"Try locking yourself in a room for one week". I couldn't even imagine doing something as simple as that.
Every kid in the gang life should ask themselves that before they commit to a life of crime
U soft lmao
@he’s soft and you’re slow. The man wrote he wouldn’t be able to lock himself in a room for a week. To me that’s soft. Making life choices to be in prison for an extended period of time is another story. I for one do not advocate the latter. I tell my young boys all the time “better palm trees and the beach then them bars”
A bathroom. No tv. No phone. 3 meals delivered to you. Lights turn on and off not by your control.
@@stansmith9293wow you're so hard! Congrats pal. Your kids are so lucky to have a father like you
@@stansmith9293 in what country can you go to jail for an extended period for a serious crime and not be locked inside a room the size of a bathroom?
Need some stories from the inside!!
Damn this guy was in prison from basically when I was born to when I graduated high school almost. That’s a long time. That’s way too young to send someone to rikers
Can't salt rice. He go prison. Did you cook in prison? 15 years in prison. He might get hired in prison. They put you to work. Everyone don't get to go prison . Everyone in prison don't get to work in kitchen.
Cali different / you need your paperwork. GP = paperwork in Cali.
This just show U... DON'T BE IN GANGS OR CRIME!
what he said is a real fact
He speaks pretty well English. I can understand him better.
Yea he speaks English pretty well
@@noone-pg4lr I couldn’t understand the tung on gang member.
You guys dont check paperwork?
I remember I looked out for one of them because we knew each other. He acted like he didn’t even know me so I never looked out for him again.
They used to throw kids in Rikers?
❤️
Where is Nicky Louie interview ?
@@HuaHe-bs2nm Only on this channel. Read between the lines
I. Hearing Elmira prison closed.
I wonder if he has any relation with China Mac
Politics in the east is different than Cali???
Every state different laws...
China Mac should link up with this man!
You guys keep saying that. It’s a completely different era. This is pre internet guys. China mac was hanging out when Asian gangs were all but done
"they were all crazy...But good people...Killing people" 😅
🙏🙏
🇱🇦
I wonder if China mac knows him
Could play MJ in one of the prisons? 😲😆
Yea I heard a story from my uncle about black people hated it when Chinese played mj. They were like wtf is that! That shit is so fucking noisy
Yep we play MJ and Chinese dominos in the BOP (Feds)
What sup sam
Shot on an iPhone 3?

Bruh, did his time in jail and got kicked out of the country. He didn’t GB for too long, he got busted young.

Yum
Good interview but would be good to hear sum stories about the Asian based NYC gangs from the 80s and 90s.
What do you think this is? Lol
@@forgottenstreets he didn"t tell no stories weirdo
@Zika mexican mafia in california...russians and albanians in newyork..and colombian and mexican drug cartels i would say.
@Zika i dont know who the AA are bro
he look filipino
Laos
Wonder if he knows China Mac
Did U Kno Shadow
Is That Tha Chinese Shadow That Fought C.Os On Rikers Island
@@lfamousboogiedowng4real130 I will post an interview on this channel from someone who witnessed it. Coming soon
@@chinatowngangstories please upload soon !
he killed someone, "self defense", of course he wasn't gonna be charged as juvenile
The American justice system is so fucked up. A 15 yo who kills someone during a fight is still a 15 year and you’re supposed to take that into consideration during the sentencing otherwise there’s no point having different laws for minors. I’ve seen so many murder cases where adults get less than 15 years.
@@morenitomoreno1282not if these are gangsters, all sympathy goes out the window. he may seem reformed now but back in the day these were "shoot first, ask questions later"guys. all the people he terrorized on Chinatown weren't crying for him
@@jojotwice8918 Again, then what’s the point of having separate laws for minors? It’s not about "sympathy" it’s about pragmatism. The US has the highest recidivism rate out of all the developed countries yet its the country with the harshest justice system. The "tough on crime" approach is counter productive. Nobody is saying any kid who kills someone should be left alone. The point is, you can’t judge a 15 year old the same way you judge a 25 year old. Just like you can’t judge someone who’s mentally challenged the same way you judge a sane person
They don't move you cause you get too comfortable. You get moved around to different prisons so that your family doesn't move into the area around the state prison..there's a certain demographic around those prisons..I'll let you figure it out from there.
What do you mean demographic ?
China town the best war wonton soup 🍲
Dont do drugs.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
"Try to lock yourself in a room for one week and see how you feel." I've locked myself in a room way longer than a week and felt pretty damn good. lol But I get his point.
yes, with your phone, laptops, maybe even drugs lol, etc... try locking yourself up in your room for 1 week, without any of that! just you and maybe a few books to read. 7 days. good luck.
try the bathroom...sleeping next to the toilet....some cells come with toilet in it....not to mention if you have cell mate that have a good digestive system...
A week ain't so bad, I know a dude who spent a couple years in solitary that is when you really start to lose it unless you're very mentally strong. He said he use to stall the guards as long as possible just so he could have human contact no bs
