God chooses his soldiers even if they used to be predators
Great going Shaun. Hope Mike sends you a copy to print just in case obsticles are put between him & publishing it in the US. I'm sure the big wigs don't want his truths out.
Great interview! Mike Thompson is very articulate and I hope and pray he will continue to be a great servant to others in his realm of influence!
My Grandfather was in prison with this dude, he said he is so full of shit almost every story is not true. He told me that he spent years in protective custody. You should interview some of the prison guards they know the truth.
be curious see you sammy talk bout yall fight n mex mafia over the x pill thing i think....
You are a brilliant interviewer Shaun, you don’t interrupt. Much respect to Mike Thomson for who he is and what he stands for.
Couldn’t agree more!
What colour hair he had
Like some dinosaur
This guy is absolutely fascinating! He has a better vocabulary than most college professors. I can listen to him for days.
I’ll look you got conned by a convict uses big words. I have nothing to do with what the fuck he’s talking about. Does it make him sound smarter? Makes him sound pathetic, and everybody likes listening to fairytales
Saw this guy at National Geographic. Said something that I still remember 10 years later and it was…. “I don’t have a issue with violence, against those who understand it”
Yeah but all he used to do in prison was prey on smaller and weaker white dudes
Until he started snitching, fabricating stories and making a load of bullshit up to give innocent men more time for shit they didn't do.. then he had to hide in a cell so the more honest men didn't kill him
I AND THOMPSON WERE RELEASED ON PAROLE THE SAME YEAR, THOUGH I SERVED 49 YEARS 9 MONTHS AND 3 WEEKS IN PRISON, SO I KNOW WHAT HE HAS WENT THROUGH SINCE HE HAS BEEN FREED FROM PIRSON, EXCEPT I HAD NO ONE WAITING FOR ME NOR OFFERING ME ANY HELP AT NINE WEEKS BEFORE MY 78 BIRTHDAY.
Did you try to be with a woman?
Best Wishes @Donald Malson
Mr.Malson, congratulations on your well deserved freedom!!! I, myself did 16-17 years total on a B# California Dept. Of corrections. I'm just happy you made it out. Your right, most of us don't have anything or anyone waiting on the outside. Gate money thats it. I was on the same yard as as this guy, Michael Thompson. Never kicked it with him as we were on different teams. For sure he was a hog but a lot of his stories are excessively exaggerated.
Well, no reason for writing other than to give you your props.
@@mk.1175 wankr
Wow.. hope you can find some peace on the outside and just try to relax and enjoy the freedom...
Mr. Thompson has reached a level above wisdom:tranquility. Amazing to be able to actualize to that level in a prison environment.
This guy could have his own show. Awesome stories and great honesty. Thanks for sharing Mike. Great job Shaun and team. 👏🏿
I did almost 3 years and it was terrible . Can’t imagine doing 45 years of straight war time . I never turn down a video with Michael in it !
Liar
If you haven't watched the Casper odinson crowell videos they're very riveting as well
@@geraldfahey2681 curious, have those guys talked about each other
@@arfshesaid4325 I wouldn't doubt it!
Thank you Shaun and Mike, A great watch and listen. Like many we watched and gained exclusive insight to the AB on the National Geographic Doc. Mike was and still projects as highly intelligent, he is very articulate about his survival in the American Prison System. Its good that the Department of Corrections and the USA Parole Department have given Mike Thompson another chance at life outside. Jim, Scotland
I love how he addresses these counterfeit tough guys on TH-cam… You can tell how he speaks that he’s been there done that!! Great part 2 bro!! Thank you!!
That’s one of the best interviews I’ve ever seen. This is by far the best interview in any of the podcasts I’ve seen. This guy is fascinating, I could listen to him all day. Great job Facilitating Shaun. And thank you so much for asking my question - and to Mike for making himself available to answer it 💚
I would highly recommend you check out an interview with Dj Shipley, on the shawn ryan podcast/vigilance elite.
If you enjoy long form conversations with extremely capable, unique, extraordinary people, this should be right up your alley.
@@weirdmood8102 thanks for that, I’ll be sure to check it out bud
@@Adrian-sl9zj honestly, he has a ton of just fantastic conversations. I know I sound like a fan boy, But he really does produce some incredible conversations. His latest one with Scott Mann about smuggling Afghanistan special ops counterparts out of the country where pulled out is pretty awesome, too, But I could pretty much say that about 90% of the podcasts he does. Definitely worth checking out . Hope you enjoy it, Buddy!
@@weirdmood8102 it’s coming with high recommendation from you. I’ll definitely take a look. Cheers 👍
Dj Shipleys father, Don Shipley, has an awesome TH-cam channel about busting phony Navy Seals
Shaun, you know I don' watch too many of your True Crime podcasts and I intended to 'hang up' if I didn't like it, but I found Mike to be intriguing, wise, educated and I kept watching until the end.
I cannot fathom being incarcerated for 10 days, let alone 45 years. Seems a bit extreme to me, but that's the current prison system.
Mike, may you and your wife enjoy many more glorious years. Thanks for sharing.
cheers
He has 700,000 subscribers, so how would he possibly know if you watch it or not or care?
@@shaunattwoodOFFICIAL hi Shaun - great episode that mate . How often you come to Widnes ? Been here most of my life
Such a backhanded compliment if I've ever seen one
@@HamiltonRb Shaun replied to my comment, so yes, he does care, which is why so many continue to subscribe.
It's nice to see Michael doing well and not letting the past ruin him, great podcast
The guy is a fraud! All the people who have been in prison say he is full of shight on all this
He's back in jail
ROFL. I love how people think they know someone from a video they see online or something.
Can’t stand it when people tell random people they watch online how much they “love” the person they really know nothing about.
You are so right!!!! This guy is a P.O.S. He scammed a bunch of people out of their unemployment benefits during Covid. Definitely a great guy🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@justinmartin4662 The man is an extremely gifted bullshitter. Probably best in the world ever. It is not too surprising most people were fooled
Wow.
After 45 years of imprisonment to see Mike be able to be so open and speak fluently and very well re tell the stories of his life and answer questions is very tremendous indeed.
I really love to listen to him speak. He almost reminds me of a Wise Man in an Aboriginal Peoples Tribe or a Wise Sage in a group of scholars. He speaks as though he's givng a discourse into an ugly place and speaking beautifully even about the bad and the ugly sides of Prison and I especially love his insight about having to Dance with knives against another man. How your fight is a dance and you need to keep moving and keep fighting to avoid being shot or stabbed was beautifully said. It gave me an image in my mind I won't forget and I hope I never have to serve a day in prison nevermind 45 years.
Tremendous Guest. I loved his first appearance as well. Please have him back in the future!
ghost of kiev wasnt real... it was made up bullshite
It takes years to adjust, to being in the world. It took years for me not to watch my back with just my relatives around. It’s a slow process to become a human being on the outside. Realizing that your really free, is like a dream.
I only did 32, I've been out 12 years and a week, and I'm still playing catch up. Lol...yah, in California 32 years is an "only".
He will always ha e to watch his back. First it is ingrained instinct. Second , he was in a long time and made a few enemies.
I’m a black kid born in 90 from NYC. This elder and I say that with all due respect (cause I don’t give all older men that respect) is a gem. This proves that race means nothing all about a person’s heart. This was one of the best interviews I’ve ever seen and documentaries are my entertainment. Shaun you need your own show. Your questions were so on point the way you dug deeper never cutting him off was flawless. Great work! 🫡
Michael is such an intelligent thoughtful guy. As fucked up as prison is and for all the things he’s had to go through it’s amazing he has come out so level headed. I’m sure his spirituality helps with that. I wish him nothing but success in his future and I really hope law enforcement leaves him alone he’s in his 70s he’s done enough time he should be aloud to live in peace. It’s funny cause I watched a program where a former DA known for being a hard line DA who would sentence people to incredible amounts of time: he later got busted for fraud and embezzlement and was sentenced to 30 years. He was interviewed in prison after doing a few years in prison and said if he knew how hard it was to do real time in jail he would have never sentenced people to as much time in prison as he had. I believe in order to sentence someone to prison time you should have done time yourself to know how difficult it is to have you freedoms taken and through in a cage.
100%
Yes yes empathy is a fine thing...if it is based upon common experience so much the better...but the reality is is that's just not practical in this universe. Quite a few members of the judiciary ought to be on the receiving end of the system they enforce enthusiastically when they've no chance of receiving rather than dispensing "JUSTICE" and I wish we wouldn't pretend that justice has much (If indeed anything at all) to do with it yea even today when we ought to have learned very well that it certainly does not. Hypocrisy offends me; Michael has an admirable absence thereof which is refreshing...and how bad is it that it's illustrated by a guy who'd not be credited with any positive qualities by many people...ghastly judgemental hypocritical "good Christian pillars of society" types of people. Yeeeuchh!
This was an incredible interview. Enthralling the whole way through
Amen to that. The way he speaks conveys a calm tone. One of a Wise Man or very much the part of the Sage but he's also one hell of a warrior as well.
I don't know what could be frightening than being pitted in a knifefight against an opponent who's going to absolutely try to kill you because he's in the same boat as you and then having guards firing on you in the process of fighting is just so enthralling that he takes you there. I can picture the knife dance.
Just amazing. I'd love to just sit and listen to him. I envy his inner peace although as someone with PTSD and other mental health issues I can very much understand the Sensory Overload Mike speaks of in today's world as I suffer with that every day when I leave the house and even in my own house. I've never been to prison and I've never been arrested for a crime in my life. I hope I never am because I couldn't ever do any knife dancing at my age. Plus I'm too sick and dying I don't want to die there.
Too bad he's full of shit.
He is a liar
@@ptccombatfitness6726 who cares lol. I come to TH-cam to be entertained, and this interview was entertaining and interesting AF
@@trogman43988 oh. I agree. watched the entire thing
Michael doesn't get any pleasure talking about violence because he's lived it to the extreme as a means to survive. True warrior. Great interview
Thanks for the comment!
True bullshitter
Thompson is rat
This was fantastic! I remember seeing him on TV years ago and recognized him instantly. Really enjoyed both episodes and I’m glad he’s out
Yeah bro, me too. I've actually seen a few of the og's that were on the early shows, like MSNBC lock up. They are now hitting TH-cam and doing interviews from prison, halfway houses or from the free world.
The homeboy from Fresno his name's Cornejo that was on msnbc is on Story's written by a current prisoner on TH-cam now. He tried to bullshit us a lil bit I think in the beginning. But he cleared it up.
I remember their stories, charges & interviews like they were yesterday. So the ones that try to change their story up now... They just get cancelled. They don't know how fast a 10 year old girl in her own bedroom, can fact check the shit they say.
He’s back in
@@thebugalito as of when?
@@authenticufo4822 June 2021
He got accused of covid fraud.
Interview other people who knew Michael. They will tell a different story
This guy's stories he tells, he's the real life Reacher
He claims to not have the emotional intelligence to answer a couple of simple questions? Meanwhile, he speaks like a Diplomat.
I find Mr. Thompson fascinating but, I don't think he's telling the whole truth.
Mike is an incredible guy man to bring himself up to a standard of where he's at now is amazing and the fact that he survived 45 years incarceration is truly amazing it's a shame that his life experiences needed to go so bad before he rose to freedom and that's a true Testament to his will..this guy's life story deserves better than a movie he deserves like an eight season you know life story documentary because I could imagine some of his stories are way more detailed.....look forward to his next interview....great job S.A.🏆🥇
Why are you looking up to a convict like he is someone great... this is a pos human... go find you a better hero
He's back in prison where he belongs.
He spent less than 9 years on the main line the rest was in protective custody.
@@ikapatino3214 ah bless
@@bhiggins66 jealous?
possibly the best guest of alltime, what a poddy that was Shaun, Michael Thompson what a man strength power intellect the lot, what a crazy crazy story love to see a movie on this man
He didn't mention scamming the homeless since he got out😂
Junkies
He talked about it in another interview... He has to be careful what he says..
One in a million man, inspiring.
Bear Medicine blessings to you all and thanks so much for your efforts to spread this man's words ❤ cant wait to see!
This man has pretty much seen it all when it comes to the hard life in prison. He still has his wits about him and is a very smart man. I totally respect him for who he is and where he came from.
Michael is so interesting and has so many stories to tell I could listen to him all day for a man who has had a violent past his voice and demeanour is so soothing I hope their is a third
Best interviewe to date shaun
Shaun love Michael and John Abbott interview
From PANAMÁ🇵🇦
MR. MICHAEL THOMPSON ,IS A WARRIOR AND VERY SMART👏👏👏MY TOTAL RESPECT TO HIM🤝
This is the best interview I have ever listened to. To come out of that experience and live by spiritual values is remarkable. We need to reform the prison system, Mike would be an excellent consultant. All the best of wishes to you and your wife, Mike. Shaun your interview style is the best.
Yes, thanks Mr. Attwood
Unfortunately to many sumbags looking to kill Micheal Thompson
He’s conflating nationalist with “white nationalist” or “ethno-nationalist”.
Nobody gives Ukrainians a hard time for being proud to be Ukrainian and citizens of Ukraine or Koreans who are proud to be Korean and proud to be Korean citizens..
Exactly
Black Lives Matter!!!!!
What’s really to be proud of??
@@aramisdavis6055 : That your ancestors suffered through unimaginable suffering and that they still managed to survive and make you.
@@browning3519 still he makes a good point. Pride is a matter of *personal aptitude
He is full of it! Shot 22x I’m calling bs
I watched the gangland episode with him in it but what other documentaries is every one talking about??
This is one of the most interesting videos you've done. They are all fascinating but how this man tells the story reminds me of Abbott. I am totally drawn in. Great work Shaun, another stellar job. Oh yeah you probably have some people that help you so good job to them too LOL
Mike can teach and really help others make a change. His mindset is second to none. This should be a weekly thing.✌️
You mean like last year when he got busted scamming homeless and downtrodden people that needed help?
I could listen to this man for days..cant wait for the book..
Another awesome interview. Sean you and Mike have hit it out of the park once again brother. I look forward to part 3.
Part 3 has already played out. Mikes in prison for robbing helpless people including vets and has been exposed by his daughter as being the most gifted bullshitter ever known to mankind. He had me fooled too but I was damn wrong. I’ve never come across a list on his level. His daughter has an interview on s podcast with 2 annoying bozos and lays it all out
What an extraordinary human being! To survive those conditions especially during that time period the joint wasn’t a joke. He’s survived and today he’s giving back. Much Respect
Extraordinary human being?🤦♂️ He murdered 2 people,only stayed out of jail for about a year,lied to his wife that helped him get out of jail and now he's back in for forcing vulnerable and drug addicted people to hand over theyre benefits money from the government,yeah extraordinary alright,check out the damage done podcasts with him,his wife also went on it when he was just arrested,I wonder after watching it you might change your mind about this con
I wasn't sure what to expect from Mike but he seems like such an interesting, intelligent & fascinating character. What a life story! Oh and Mike Thompson ASMR = Guaranteed 💰
Send the information to me and I’ll get it to Michael. He and I are friends and starting our own podcast when he is cleared to do so.

Great interview, Shaun. Michael is a fantastic story teller and incredibly well spoken. I’d love to see an interview on your channel with Jimmy Boyle. Currently reading his book and would love to hear his story.
Much love from Bonnie Scotland! 🏴💙
Boyle, nasty cat in his day. My Grannie said he was a cruel bastard.
@@madrarua1246 So I’ve heard, mate. Glasgow was a whole different world back in those days…
His book is phenomenal. Highly recommend if you fancy a good read! 👍
@@allanmclay Is it a sense of freedom you are reading m8? The films a good watch aswell 👌
@@Moostafa78 Aye, that’s the one, mate. Seen the movie more times than I can count. Superb watch 🙂
A Jimmy Boyle podcast would be mega. I believe he now lives a quiet life in Morroco...
What a blessing to be able to speak to someone with so much wisdom and life experience.
Shaun , Mike is fantastic as it resonates his intelligence and humanity over a life of incarceration.
Dude is more adept at what's going on in this country than I thought
Absolutely.
I like his Discovery and Practice in his Native American Roots! Great Testimony and Interview. God Bless
How can you say “god bless” while saying you like something that if that god exists would send you to hell for?
Does anyone these days actually take the time to learn religions? Not a god to be fucking around with if it/he were real. All of its scriptures make it clear that other religions are to be destroyed along with their believers if they refuse to convert. Which also explains pretty much everything Christians and Muslims did for well over 1000 years.
But now, after millennia of wiping out other religions and cultures we have people taking the god and somehow separating him from the scripture that establishes his existence and calling it spirituality or simply just ignoring the scripture and ridiculously claiming it’s all peaceful and moral when even most ancient people would find it disturbing.
Why would god bless people who praise his name and then ignore all of his laws and commandments and lie about what “his word” says?
I remember watching this guy when they did the interviews while he was still in prison in general population. What a man. And all he has been through I think we can all take away something from here to be humble it’s the most important thing in life regardless of your situation
He wasn't in general population on those lockdown episodes, lol.
that wasnt no fking GP
Ok, maybe he wasn’t in Gen Pop. However, I vividly remember him walking outside in the yard with other inmates. That was my assumption. He was in Gen pop. Due to the relaxed nature. I suppose it could have been any number of other labels. Either way. It’s still prison and couldn’t have been fun. Especially imagining how you claim your initial innocence and still end up having to spend a lifetime in their. The man’s story is amazing. And we can all take something from it. Personally, I connected with his sense of integrity and honor. A real man will often set himself a set of codes to operate on. This man did so with the focus and discipline of a true warrior. Even in battle. He chooses to let the man live. Even would it have been all too easy to dispatch him. Not only did his words and actions resonate with me. It reminded me of the way I was raised. Young men and women these days are often not blessed with the same upbringing of lessons and discipline as they once were. Most people have zero respect for one another, nor do they have any real set of codes or principals do operate with. For a man to be so humble after all he’s endured. Is not only inspiring. It’s also providing the greater public a chance to reflect on how they treat/view people with criminal records or time served within the prison system. Inevitably leading to a change in social, justice and economic reforms for changing America’s broken prison and criminal justice systems.
Honest, sensible, truly A man's man.Wish him all the best in his future life. Stay protected Mike.Another top notch interview
Honest, huh? Is that what exploiting indigent people to steal money from them and defraud the government is called?
This cat just got busted for stealing from the homeless,he was signing them up on unemployment benefits and then keeping it. This Guy is a piece of shit, if you will steal from someone who has so little already you'd steal from anyone.
He is nothing but a liar a thief and a killer who is right where he belongs
Happy to see the man out good luck to you Sir ,respect
Heah shaun...settling in to watch part two...thanks for all you do..your show is just as good as the others if not better mate!!!
This has to be 1 of the best interviews I've seen. All I can say is Wow !!!
this guy is a legend, I saw a interview with him many years ago.
Me as well, he was on lockup raw, i believe he was in the hole too!! Hard time.
Yeah’ I seen him about 10 or 15 years ago. Always been a lil taken with him
He's completely full of shit.
@@bentramer4281 lol.probably
Just seen an interview with a guy who spoke to a guard who was there when he was supposed to fight the 7 mex gangsters and apparently it didn't happen at all.
As he stated. The paperwork will prove him right
Thanks again shaun...godbless everyone..him included...peace. very good show mate..
The swastika symbol is an ancient religious symbol, predominantly in various Eurasian, as well as some African and American cultures, before ever being adopted as a Nazi symbol.
So what's you're point?
It will take centuries if ever its going to lose its symbolism of hate.
Iv got a huge swastika tattooed on my arm and I have my penis' nickname tattooed on that, it says 'the ultimate behemoth'
The white man is very original
the Germans reversed & inverted it,i remember seeing the big "swastika" on top of a Buddhist temple, its a noticeable difference
Mr Thompson is like Qui Gon Jinn of the AB. The way he talks and the stuff he did back in the day makes me think that. I know he has since changed his life around
What a wonderful turn of life: he has a fortune of experience that can keep thousands out of trouble. He is really a powerful individual; especially now that he has learned personal efficacy and is staying on his feet: he is a force for good to be reckoned with; he has all the credentials doubting Thomas's like to see. May God bless him for his good works and keep his adversaries from doing any harm to him or his loved ones.
Mick Thompson hi man i dig your war story s great stuff 👍 👏
You came a long way Shawn! Keep
Killing it
Well spoken dude. If i didnt know the title of this episode, id think this guy was a major CEO or a college professor
Isn’t he back in prison?
This man is probably the toughest man alive.
Some life
He’s full of shit

Saving this for work tomorrow
The PTSD from being in prison is very real and the longer you're in the longer it takes for your mind to cope and heal! I served about 3 years in a state penitentiary and probably took about 8 years where I wasn't having nightmares of being in there anymore and now very seldomly I have nightmares of that but that was in 2002! So I'm assuming Mr Thompson is going to have quite the journey ahead of him my hats off to you though bud you have been to hell and back!!!
I always hoped that he would be given a change to get out of prison but now I hear he is back in
I actually lost my breath hearing about the infant, I can’t believe how horrible things like this happens. Imagine having all the knowledge Michael has in him, and still being able to behave like a sane person.
Thank you Mike
Being called a "Convict" may seem like an odd badge of honor, but unlike inmates they lived by a code.
I was clarifying the vocabulary, not glorifying anyone. There was time
True enough. I was clarifying the vocabulary. There was a time when you didn't snitch, extort your own people for dope. Instead of turning out a newby, you showed him the ropes.
His description of what his former people have turned into is spot on. Dope fiends and drop a dime for a honey bun.
@@toddreese4285 only in the movies
Just finishing now
Part 3 come on baby
Damn! I didn’t think he’d be back on so fast. Well done Shaun. This guys a damn legend for simply living thru 45years of wild shit and being able to tell about it. Some people are just survivors I suppose. This ole fella ooozes wisdom sooo many in todays culture could stand to listen to and apply in their lives.
Edit- To his question what I think about incarceration and what it has become? …. It’s become big business, and a business that pulls from the less educated and unfortunate populous that comes up having to fall in line with this way of thinking in the neighborhoods they grow up in. It’s a pipeline. This entire concept goes back to the 1920’s, and 30’s and Henry Anslinger.
you need to change your post, to read: "Damn! I didn't think he'd be back IN so fast. MT was re-arrested a year ago and is waiting for trial. His "incredible" story, probably loosely based on fact, is now a fraud. He stole hundreds of thousands from newly released inmates, who used MT company services to assist them with unemployment. MT, assuming he gets convicted, is a great-big scammer!!
I'm
GT
Drop out rat yeah good dude ok smh
Go's back even further than the 1920s ever since they could get free labour off of incarceration someone. You are right it's a big business. My Pops would tell some of my friend's that used to go in and out of prison/jail that they are just a # on you the system and privit system's making money off incarceration!
I think the only reason they are letting so many people out is because it's costing more money to house prisoner's than to let them out on the street's. It's not safe for the public but these politicians don't give a crap about regular folks. They have there body guards and a wall around there Marsions!
Like Mike said the regular folks should be warn in a town/city meeting. To be aware of all around you.
Like he said when he first got out in L.A. in a half way house a few people got shot and killed where he was at.
I'm in the bay area of California and I understand what Mike is saying and other Guys are saying when they got out doing year's in Prison that they don't want to for nothing.
Just like Mike said a glass of water with ice Ocean water and sand at the feet just little thing's that we take for granted can all be taken away for year's or life...from anyone of us.
I’ve only just come across this Chanel for the first time ... very informative .
This man you are interviewing looks like a very nice older man that is intelligent.
Can’t imagine him being a part of a gang.
The M14 is not a round, the M14 nor the 7.62x51 it fires were designed in WW2, and they weren’t designed to be sniper rifles or rounds, though they happen to be used in that capacity. They were designed in the 50s.
If he’s this wrong about one topic how wrong can he be on others?!
Oh and they definitely weren’t designed to be used to wound and draw out others. That’s just a tactic. The .308 is almost 3x bigger than .556 an AR-15 fires.
Yep, definitely agree on 7.62 NATO/M14. Snipers do head shots, wounds from which there is generally no recovery. Either he got bad information or...
“Man I used to hate you” is low key deep af
Great interviews! I didn't hear much mention of mental illness in the prisons, and how many convicts are there because of related issues.
The USA has two options for the mentally ill: Pills or pills and prison.
Awwww I’m SO Gutted I missed THIS Live! Sending loadsa Love & Support 2 Mike & his incredible activism! 💜💜☮️☮️
Mike realize your a better man than 90% of the politicians and judges in the US
And the C.O.’s in prison
Mr. Thompson is an amazing example of ethics. I saw a documentary where he talked about the killings of innocent, wives, parents, and how he was against it.
How he has respect for life and how life should never be taken as an act of revenge or retaliation.
If you see this, Mr. Thompson and Shaun, thank you for sharing your thoughts and wisdom.
This has completely captivated me! This guy has inspired me and made me realise how grateful we should be to the world we live in. This is the best Podcast I have ever seen, great work Shaun and I am made up with your channel growth. Let’s get Shaun to 1M SUBS guys!! ❤️❤️💯
What's so captivating about the guy. Hitler was charismatic, captivating influential. He fools you by his calm demeanor that's to disarm you. The guy was leader of a hate group and would or still kill any not white or Jewish.
Don’t crap yourself. He’s been exposed by his daughter. He is back in prison. He is a liar a killer and a thief.
@@thebugalito he's back in jail for what do you know? I never knew what he did anyway.

My Brother was in jail for most of his life , Mike is well spoken for being in jail that long ! My brother still has a hustle type speech about him , love him to bits though and always will .
Great interview, and fantastic interviewing skills. This guy is insanely tough. Fighting so many one on one duels like a samurai is impressive enough, without the added danger of the tower guards raining down lead on him.
I’ve never been this drawn in on any interview that’s ever been posted on TH-cam!! Awesome interview Shaun!! I’m a felon (not bragging) it’s embarrassing to my family but it is what it is, listening to his stories of what it was like in the 70’s and 80’s is very interesting and eye opening
If only one thing he said was true it probably wouldn’t be so fascinating
@@thebugalito I’m sure you’d know wouldn’t ya!! I’m assuming you’re an expert on everything that everyone else talks about!! And you’ve probably never been off mawmaws couch
Very intelligent human, i hope the dont lock him up again. He deserves to be free!
Michael I'm headed to visit my brother David Chance who is pictured with you in one of the AB Photo's, he knows you and of course many others well. He just hit 50 years time served just saying hi and your story is very intriguing of course I wish my bro had followed your steps. 50 Plus years 45 in max SHU. I wish you the best Michael
Wonderful interview thank you! It’s wonderful to hear his explanation of being native and how it is a way of living no matter given to blood quantum, where we come from etc. this is exactly how my elders taught us growing up too. We accept all peoples no matter what race they are this is our tradition, all races of people coming together in turn which is what the four directions and medicine wheel represents (Black, yellow, white and red) Chii Miigwetch this was wonderful!- another Anishnawbe, Miigwans
Thank you for your comment I grew up with the narragansetts they took me into their home like always one of them my wife's skin didn't matter it was my heart that did
So excited when saw part 2!!! Ty
That's what happens when you debrief. Everyone's acting like this is a surprise.
I thought he went back to prison for unemployment fraud in California, was that true?
Did you ever come across Jaimie or John during your time in San Quentin. Also did you meet Doug the Thug Orr?
Lol I’m sure many johns and Jamie’s have came in and out of San Quentin
Wwwhat!? How can you keep someone off the internet? How is that even possible?
This is only one man’s way or perspective of these events. We need more of these guys who spent time that can give their perspective of same events. Doesn’t have to be a high power inmate could be any one . Also curious about if Mike was in during all the time when the da had used info from prison inmates that violated the other inmates rights and there were cases that got thrown out because of violation of rights
I was, for a minute. I did "life" as well, but he was, I think, 8-10 years older and started a handful of years ahead of me. I didn't know him well or for long, but we had met a handful of times and it seemed to me at that time that he was not what they portrayed him to be, which is pretty much who I see now
Thankyou Gentlemen, excellent interview/talk. Round 3 ? Lets hope so.
PLEASE do a part 3…and 4, 5 and 6…until he gets his own podcast going, yes! Quite the fascinating individual, and his voice and way he speaks is very thought provoking, enlightening and even calming. And he asks great questions of the audience as well, as far as changing things about punishments and incarceration policies and more. God bless. 😌🌹👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wellll they may have hit a tiny little snag. He’s back in prison and has been exposed as a total bullshit artist and nasty their and a killer. That’s what his daughter is saying
This would be excellent, hopefully Shaun makes it happen.
Awesome interview and awesome man.
I thought this guy was arrested again for fraud
I thought so too!!!
Dude is windy
Me too his daughter did a podcast saying he is full of it!
Same here. That was around a year ago???
His stories are all made up. He was exposed on many different prison channels on his fairytale stories like when he said he beat up 12 nuestra Familia members all at once lmao
I really respect this man. He is so real. I'm 59 years old and had my struggles, but compared to what this man has lived and survived and overcome, I'm nothing.
Homeboy is a real OG. Don't get that confused. He may polish up some old facts that are not critical, to make an interesting interview for entertainment value. But he's been in some of the worst places in the country. He's lived with some of the craziest convicts and vicious guards in California and he survived. That's facts.
An great interview of an amazing man. Im glad he is on a good path that will allow him to share all his wisdom and knowledge. God bless him for being a good man and staying strong on the side of love.
He is locked up again. He’s a liar and he is a killer and he is a thief. He has been exposed by his daughter on a podcast and his wife. He’s nothing more than a world-class bullshitter
