Everyone can say what they want about this man, but he’s a genius. Real talk. If you sit back and think about the amount of things he ran, he’s a mastermind. He is silver tongued and is a quick thinker. He is a chameleon and has the ability to adapt to any environment or situation. The way his mind works is amazing. And he’s in an interview about himself and isn’t ratting anyone or himself out. He’s been in the game for almost his whole life so he knows what he can divulge in and what he’s not allowed to speak on. People can have their opinion about how his wife did everything for their family etc but she knew who he was and what was entailed and to come in life when you get involved with someone that’s in the game. It’s to be expected that your husband is going to go to jail repeatedly and probably not be there. I’m not saying what’s right and what’s wrong because at the end of the day, everyone thinks differently, but I’m sure he financially took care of everything and made sure his family didn’t go without even when he was locked up. I’m not glorifying gang life or anything because it personally scares the shit out of me, but it’s a real thing that’s out there and it’s interesting to have an inside look at it from someone that’s actually in it and honest about it. Please keep making more interviews with him!!
Linziscool637 it was like listening to an episode of Breaking Bad..
@@erikayahchelle1123 Some think serial killers are smart, but I wouldn't admire them.
Linziscool637 did Johnny write this
Claire P Lol! No, I’ve lived in a gang neighborhood for my whole life and it’s close to Norwalk where his gang runs through. I’ve heard of his gang before because my city and the two neighboring cities would feud all the time. It’s just interesting to get an insiders perspective on things. Plus, I legit think he’s actually a very smart man. He kinda reminds me of my dad minus the gang stuff.
He's a well spoken piece of garbage
I like the background noise...I see ppl complain about it but street sounds fit the street stories (for me)
Nurse Tyra Nichelle especially if you from a big city
"Background sirens definitely adds to the interview "
💯💯💯
I think it would sound weird without the city background noise. The ambient sound seems to solidify everything that the person on screen is saying, it's a strange effect
Tyra Nichelle I like how real it is.
Police wondering if they can issue a warrant for his tent 😂😂😂LMAO
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Maddog worker probable* cause
lol
I would love if you put subtitles in the interviews, English is not my language and sometimes just hearing what you ask and not reading, makes it hard for me to understand the questions ❤️
I am English and sometimes i find it difficult to understand They don't exactly talk perfect English..
yes please!
Learn english
Noya Naveh turn your captions on
You go to your settings and get them on four own. Mine are on
The fact the lady he was tracking down decided to take a shower in the middle of a drug deal seems odd
yea and before he said she needed to use the bathroom. not take a shower. hes high as a kite this whole time making up all this stuff and telling stories hes heard from others. the guy is really a low level bottom of the totem pole JUNKIE
When he said she came out the shower im thinking she was just in the restroom alot of people refer to that room as the shower.
Ppl talking like he never did any of the shit he speaking about. Idk he sounds pretty believable to me. Sounds like a smart guy that learned from his mistakes
Agreed
Yea people that didn't grow up around it don't understand...they can't recognize real when they see it.
If this dude was real he wouldn’t be saying certain things he’s saying you guys obviously don’t know real
💯💯💯👌🏽
He said he was running 5 prisons at age 19-20. But he said he is a soldier for his prison gang... He can't be a big head and then later be a plain soldier.
Why would homeboy talk in front of a camera about business like cops ain't real
The cops are the least thing to worry about if you know what I'm saying
Ralph Mirales I’ve got a feeling a green light will be in effect because of this video. As this foo is running his mouth.
He doesn’t seem stupid enough to move out of line. I’m guessing he got the go ahead as long as he doesn’t use names and only about the shit he did personally. If I had to guess.
@@Terracecasualx5 he's not really saying anything. He's the one in charge, so no one will come after him
Jim A if you think he is a shot caller you know nothing of the streets or jail. Even if he was running things as you say,he would still have to answer to the big homies out back and if he was running things,he wouldn’t have a buck fifty on his face ffs. @jim A you can watch all the documentary’s you want dawg,but you will only really know the life when your out moving on les calles!!
Bloody brilliant character proper real calm calculated and you know he’s talking real stories , tough clever guy who has made the best of situations and family ties have allowed , don’t admire some of his actions but also couldn’t stop watching the interview
People keep saying he is telling on himself. People he is talking about things he has already been found guilty for ....you cant be judged twice. He has already done his time for the crimes. Not to mention 0 names...
Rite. It's called double jeopardy and its illegal.
@@sunkissed38queen89 Not necessarily if there was an accomplice he can be a witness. Or connection to another crime there are loopholes in that law
Or they are all lies. He runs the prison but forced to put knives in his ass.... And so many other contradicting bullshit
haha i like hearing his stories, but ya on that part i thought the same....
@@markhernandez3860 or certain violent crimes
"I had to keep a low profile so i colored my hair red" lmao
😭😭😭😭
😂🤣😂😂🤣😂
Vada Minot exactly.... not really low profile when you stand out 😂
@Vada Minot Louis CK is one😁
RIIIGHT!
Call bs on some shit. So this girl who you kinda know personally, she’s a big time hustler. To get close to her and her operation You change your appearance, knock on her door and introduce yourself as a complete stranger. She doesn’t recognize you. Now she’s a big dope dealer in the hood, but she lets a complete stranger she doesn’t know into her house. She starts talking shop with him and accept an oz of meth. No alarm bells go off hahahahahahah. He’s like most people that were in that life that tell stories. There’s a kernel of truth in his stories. That little kernel though is wrapped in distortions, and covered in wild exaggerations. Come on dawg.
He got cut in the face for saying too much and it looks like he has not learned his lesson lol
B hat does ASMR mean?
He was probably very low level then. Now he calls the shots it seems!
😂😂😂😂😂
@B hi what does ASMR mean?
@B still no reply - ill have to google it haha
He sounds like he’s been waiting to get this story out.
Sound to me more like he's told it thousands of times.
That’s all it is a story I myself been to prison the shu level 4 180 yards and this guy is full of shit. sliced in the face aint a checking that’s him getting removed off the yard full throttle all this stuff he’s saying is a no no so he’s most likely a drop out due to sureños ain’t allowed to give interviews. I never even herd of Johnny Casper from canta Ranas
@@jackmehoff2201 you're so right...that face mark,is a trash mark....
Wow! This guy is miserable! Everything he's saying is embarrassing. Any youngsters watched this don't believe the hype it's a misleading imposter. SS don't make interviews like this. Big homies ckArnkales should never admit to even his own shadow he's a full fledge factor in the game. The scar is a "puto mark" means u no good. Go to school learn different languages study something u love, read a lot, that shit will put u in a position to have a happy prosperous life and set ur children up to have a chance at life. 5 guys with fileros and u stabbed all of them ? Fuck damn! Raza be humble glorifying negativity is for followers.
Joey Del Villar this dude can beat up chuck Norris lmao
Man I don't know about all this maybe so maybe no
I also had a frog when I was a kid. He lived in a aquarium for 9 years. I totally relate to this guy.
shut the fuck up
😂
@@preholds go pound sand up your ass.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Damn! I'm really glad I stumbled upon your channel. There's more lessons to learn in one of those..."interviews" than in a hundred modern-day "documentaries".
Same...but this is not the video that I found...I found on the reccomendation about lin the meth addict..and saw this new post
@@WilfredBryaq ...yeah - I think I saw these interviews because I was searching something else - idremeber exactly! - it was...I think I typed something like "drug-wars in Mexico" and there were documentaries about the freaking BODY-COUNT and alongside I saw these - I clicked on it...and remained stunned.
One of these vids came up in my recommendation. Watched one, then binged watched a few more.
I watch a lot of vigilante vids, so I'm guessing this is why the one that I saw first recommended was recommended.
Algorithmm doesn't play, TH-cam be paying attention to what we have interest in and suggestion things of similar nature.
Juicy QT scary though knowing they point us into directions - dang manipulation all around 😱
Amen to that! @2serveand2protect
That means the guy with 3 frogs ended up getting 4 because someone had 5 but should have had 0. Boy, it's a crazy world

After watching several videos on this channel I am completely fine never visiting LA
Yea it seems like a real shit hole. Unless your rich
Same, I’m good
Dont come. Grass isn't greener on this side. It's home tho
LA is a cool place I go all of the time but I stay in Beverly Hills
I'm from Chicago and I hear that a lot about my City, however, you do your research, stay away from the bad hoods and you'll b OK. I visited LA on a tourist type visit, stayed right by Venice Beach and went over the to the Kobe mural and I didn't feel at risk or scared but then again I did grow up in Little Village in Chicago.so you just learn to keep away from any danger zones...just saying..lol..don't be so judgemental.
Dude im high af i cant believe hes talking so long about keistering wtf is going on lol
Niggas always start talkin bout that shit and never stop 😂
dredank 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Me too I'm here like wtf! He gets real excited about it too
hahaha i couldn't believe the 9 inch knife thing holy SHIT..
😂😂😂
I have a brother out in the Berkeley area, I believe he is living in a tent, and based on the last time I spoke to him, he is probably a heroin user.
His name is Zuber Awad, may go by the nickname Miami. If you happen to run into him, let him know his sister wonders about him all the time, and I love him very much.
Really love him?🤔.....then go down there to see how he is doing for christ sake. Family is family you know.
Radio Head 79 who are you?
@@tungsten1979 We shouldn't pass judgement on people's actions or decisions. Nothing is black and white. The least we can do is listen, understand, and empathise. If you watch other videos on this channel you'll realise family sometimes isn't family.
If you keep waiting the coroner will probably call you

Picture a banana😂 26:42
As a Felon who has done multiple prison terms myself, I will say this; Bragging, and talking yourself up is part of the culture. You have to take what people like this say with a grain of salt.
I can’t vouch for the guy but his gang has a very well established reputation on the streets. The state of California used RICO charges to try to break them up but they’re still very active.
I never went to prison. Growing up in the lifestyle and it absorbing most of family I can honestly agree with you. I recognize alot of what he says as truth though. Especially his story about putting a gun up in a tree. No one ever looks up. Our standard stash spots were always up high. My buddy literally had a pound drying in his living room but had it spaced out with pot pourri flower bunches. Cops weren't there for the weed but still they didn't even notice it. I believe his story of not having to be jumped in. I was once offered it. What I would like to hear him talk about more is how they use up their front line soldiers especially the white boys. Even higher up white guys. My older "brother" married in after twenty years they still threw him to cops when they got raided, even his own kids gave him up. I would never join up because my family in it was step brothers, sisters etc even though they were my blood since I can remember I didn't trust them. Even my own "real" sister set me up for shit I didn't do. Maybe at his level they don't turn as much but since meth came on the scene it seemed like a free for all. I saw people five hundred in debt on a re up marching off their dealer so they didn't have to pay. Sell ten years of a man's life for five hundred in shit. It's not worth it. Going back to what you said , I bust a guys story about being shot in front of his pups. He said he was shot and I started laughing it was from a bike wreck when we were kids it was obvious if you saw the scar. Almost ten years that dude would still have people trying to jump me over that shit.
I think we on crystal and lying but hey grain of salt it is it was entertaining
It was the knife up the ass, then the 20, 15 ,10 set of squats for me that was like OK...this guy likes to tell stories LOL
He gave himself up as a bragger when he claimed to speak nahuatl with the other dude and got him to switch sides just with a conversation. Not many Mexicans speak that language,and the chance that two total strangers speak it is so slim,there are dozens of different dialects of nahuatl that are unintelligible to each other.. Big BS.
Please do lady gang members.
There a three videos of female gang members I've watched so far. I don't know how to share but they're there

Rnf Tiquando no one cares and no one knows who you are just be quiet
I stabbed a guy in his ass and he was a friend of mine. But I asked him if I could stab him in his ass roflmfao
This man deserves to be recognized in The Book of Guiness Records for writing a book on a piece of gum wrapper
In jail they pass messages on kites with string.its really ingenious what goes on
Don't forget putting shit up his ass...he's pretty versed in that too.
@@johnny2f55 Maybe he exaggerated certain parts, but I 100% believe the part about prison dudes trying to hide knifes in their asses or trying to flush chopped up parts of a murdered inmate down the toilet. Prison is a sick, fucked up, dark place.
You clearly don't know the art of mini writing which is how all kites are written in prison. The amount of writing can be put on a tiny piece of paper is mind blowing and is done all day so that's a fact.
"i can't rob a liquor store, but I can watch the door while someone else robs it"
Lol
Why put yourself out there when you can get the same gain when you don’t have to?
He is telling you that he is above doing those types of crimes.
William Rivera if his crew is robbing liquor stores then he’s low level . Even worse if he’s robbing stores within his own community
This guy is a tweaker. When you’re from a varrio , you don’t rob from your own community. The whole purpose of a gang is to protect your neighborhood from outsiders.
I really appreciate how the interviewer always allows his guests to speak and explain themselves without constantly interrupting them often or questioning like I’ve seen other channels do

Everyone is saying he’s boasting and talking about himself, meanwhile it’s a interview about him, so he has every right to talk about his Experiences whether he’s telling the truth or not, that’s not for the peanut gallery to decide.
People love trolling especially when they have nothing interesting to say.
Right? He has been asked to take part in an interview where they ask him questions about himself. Lord. People are dense.
U must be one of them exaggeraters too
who u calling a peanut u ? dont fuck with m e
i actually work at the peanut gallery and me and all the other people employed here want to tell you to go fuck yourself
Sad the contrast between how narrow and small this man’s life is how grand and glorious he thinks it is.
He makes his life out to be glorious, but it is NOT. He is living a nightmare just not smart enough to know it.
A good life is viewed in the eye of the beholder. So, if you're rich, living the life of luxury and hate your life... This man is truly happier than you.
Those who talk about how they play the game, aren't playing the game.

Well, they probably told him they would but edited that part out.
kuz he aint no punk like them

its un attractive as in wouldent like to live near this guy
Obviously he loves the lifestyle. He’s a gang member. Most do it cause they like it.
@@latinasforthewin4274 I disagree. Most do it because they know of no other options or are born into it. Most want out if they thought they could leave, but the lifestyle is an addiction too.

Where do you go after 2 decades in prison sir? Back to your mansion in Calabasas?🙄
That's life for ALOT of ex cons in California.no need to clown him though.
He set that girl up with the police what type of gangster does that

That's what I'm saying; specially after stealing all her stuffs. He's such a bad person.
Oh huny...that is not uncommon.
He set up a fellow dope dealer? Wtf
Lol
seems like no good was ever achieved in this guys life....
When someone gets sliced on their face it usually means they talked about the wrong people and your no good. I don't know this individual obviously but he's talking too much right now.active members aren't even supposed to do interviews period
Exactly what came to my mind.
Steven Alshouse agree but his stories are good 😊
His stories seemed hella exaggerated to me. fake even. real g's don't be spilling their "stories" out like this. interview or not.
Yeah, my old man is a Sureno and Mexicans do not allow any members to do interviews.
A buck fifty
The thing I find most fascinating about this amazing story is the passion this man put into talking about how small he could write.
This was my favorite part as well
Or how small his brain is...
@@krackshot322 this man could run rings around you. You don't live that long and continue unless you have the mental capacity to outsmart a majority of people.
@@Noxidsignorantia lol yeah right! He chose to be a violent coward.. not a sign of intelligence
@@krackshot322 He didn't choose anything, when you grow up with normalized violent behavior and have been exposed to 'the life' at such a young age the likelihood of him continuing that indoctrination is so probable.

There's no way this guy is who he says he is. Not saying he hasn't been where he's been, but he's giving up the game. No one in that position would be talking this much on camera unless they were debriefing. That scar on his face is a puto mark.

what is puto mark? what is radioactive?
@@whotelakecity2001 in prison when you mess up you catch a beating. But if you messed up so bad that there's no salvaging you they'll cut your face open so everyone who sees you knows you're no good. That's called a puto mark, basically a scarlet letter.

He does have a "puto mark" on his face. When ur no longer in good standing they'll cut ur face so they can let everyone know in the prison system that ur no good
@@ElRollsRoyce fr cuz if he was all good he wouldn’t be saying a word about any of this
👀! 😒 Right! Smh
@@ElRollsRoyce Hi, where is that mark, what does it look like?
@@bonoboner I think they are talking about the scar on his right cheek
A TRUE SOLDIER WONT TELL STORIES LIKE THIS MAN WE CAN TELL WHOS WHO AND WHOS NOT COME ON NOW
MANEETS CALLMAMA why would he not tell these stories? I'm sure some of it's not even true. People always be exaggerating shit. Especially if they're proud of it and this guy definitely is. If he was an actual important and smart individual he wouldn't landed his ass in prison so many times.
@Ruffian By Nature that's if you name names doggy
@@DarkAngel71180 Stfu TORTA SKONAK
Yup the stories even if they are made up sound accurate of the lifestyle but ppl in good standing are forbidden to speak like that...any Mexicans in So Cali are not permitted to speak to ANY media. If you see them on tv it means they are no good. They are speaking on times maybe when they were in better standing but you cannot speak to media like that and stay good
@@rayannaandrade6337 definitely right, seen the "homies" press that same as woods. I run other. (Blacks)
Applauses to the creative minds behind these documentaries, ... and wow, the photography is just marvelous. But specially , bravo! for giving the oportunity to those who are invissible to the society to speak up and let us know (or at least get an idea) how is like to live in their skins and how hard is to cope this world.
Copy Cat look at the preface - Mark Laita is the videographer and explains why he’s doing this ❤️
@@Leandatastic Thank you, i just saw "Introduction to Soft White Underbelly" and after that I feel even more amazed by his work. I am a screenwriter and i worked on some short documentaries (I am from Mexico) and I know how hard it is to connect with people and found good stories and tell those stories in the way he does. He is truly gifted!
@@krikoanimales The title to this Doc series is perfect..
Amen!
This is just a old foot soldier who strung out on dope…he ain’t calling no shots 😂😂
Why is this guy snitching on himself?? LOL!
K I believed that as long as he don’t talk about some one else his ok...
He talked about pines and said that he’s still doing his thang.
Because he ran the prison yards.
you are acting like the authorities give a shit, they don't
I think it's just the way he talks I mean they ask he answer
Dudes bragging about keistering a 9 inch knife 🤣🤣🤣
And a 14 inch peen
I guess that must have helped prepare him for prison 😂
You're not accounting for the multiple wraps of plastic and the eraser on top. Probably more like 11". Impressive, no?! lol
Every gay guys wet dream
I almost quit the video when we got there like....
"Alright bruh...YOU GOT IT"
So sad because everything this guy talks about has nothing to do with having a productive life. This is just street and prison talk. This guy is 46 and still thinks he is being a bad
ass with all this BS, hasn’t learned a thing.
🤣🤣🤣he is useless
One of the best storytellers you will ever witness
A "productive" life in your eyes doesn't mean shit to someone who has grown up in hell and abuse. Go fuck yourself, you're not clever.
ace what are you 12. Because this guy is impressive to a 12 or 13 yr old. Most grow out of the gang life the others are killed over BS then you have guys like this that are dumb beyond dumb. Plus how tuff can this guy be with his man boobs hanging all over.
@hiAnn 🤣🤣🤣man boobs =moobs
Ugh some people thing the gange life and little dumb shit is important 🤦🏻♀️🙄
This pure entertainment people probably only 30 percent of what he says is true. Any body that can talk that fast can lie that fast if you’ve done time or know someone who has you can see the holes in his stories.
True. Where do you see holes?
@@VashTheDamnFiend he would never get discipline with a cut to the face if he wasn’t dropped by his hood. He’s a drop out and a lying junkie.
If you guys like these videos you should watch Chosen Won’s videos, he does interviews with prostitutes from the Detroit area, and you can actually send them things such as money + clothes and he usually films them opening up these gifts which is nice!
dan love chosen one
I looked him up and chosen won seems to have some scandals around his name... are those just gossip or facts?
Yeah I’m Ashley idk tbh i found this channel a while ago and i never really heard of any scandals or gossip rumors! Only a couple ppl that thought he was exploiting the prostitutes + drug addicts but he always pays them for the interviews and everything ppl send to the P.O box he always makes sure to record them opening their gifts just so ppl know he isnt keeping any of it for himself
Sooo, he's a huge kingpin running an army while sticking to the shadows and reaping all the rewards but is hangin on skid row slinging dime bags?
He’s all over the place😂
Right?? That shits makes no sense. I get the feeling he's just full of shit, or he's fallen wayyy far from where he once was lmao
Rise and fall.
@@sentanyl3399
I'll say he's fallen.
But in the sense that he knows where he's been and is willing to be judged for it.
I know I couldn't do that.
Ya feel me?!!😂😂
I just wanna say thank you for showing the true definition of reality tv. I wish more people had the balls to educate the public as well as you do. Cheers to you fella
Mark I've seen a lot of videos but this is the first real gangster I've seen on youtube or anywhere else. RESPECT MY GUY!
Lol...this guy gets an A for participating
This dude is so full of shit. Same as you I guess lol
This guy's made 90% of this up. Maybe more than 90%. There is no damn 19 year old running 5 level 3 and 4 yards
"you get punished at this level because you carry yourself at this level" i always ask myself why some shit happens to me...i guess im just geting checked
Half y'all with y'all lil opinions on whether he's lying or not knock it off y'all Prolly never even went through half of what he went through or even seen it , sit back & enjoy the content weenies
Ha!! Thass right. Tell em!!
Str8 up...Most of em could NEVER make it in CDC would get rolled out 1st day lol much less make it on junkie skid row
Because most people aren't fucking retards who want to live a shitty life.
"I've stabbed a man in his a$$ 4 times...and he's a friend of mine"... at this point I was like - are we still talking about knives?
Gang members that need validation talk this way, and just wont shut up.
True.
Even non gang members.
It's a interview lol. Did you expect him to talk about the stock market?
We're here for an in depth look at the underbelly of society. He has nothing to prove anymore. He's old and is telling his story why can't people be respectful on the internet
Shut up
@@MARK-hk7bh gracias....
This behaviour is what my tax dollars get wasted on.
Nigga we all pay taxes quit bitchin
As much as I like his stories. I don’t believe him
It’s real out here
Unfortunately, despite his strengths, his influence appears to extend only over vulnerable and broken people. The tools that he uses to assert his control exploits those vulnerabilities and breaks them further. To his credit, he seems to limit most of his actions to other people who are committed to that life, and does not comment on actions against average citizens. Sadly, he seems to describe nothing over the course of his life that will leave his community stronger or less open to further exploitation in the future. He’s a survivor, but not a hero.
He's a career criminal. He's a douche bad A number 1.
You couldn’t victimize him even if you wanted to
You couldn’t victimize him even if you wanted to
Beautifully said
This dude reminds me of a mexican Corey Feldman. Lmao for some reason!
he cannot possibly sing as bad as cory feldmen,have you heard his awful bands songs?so bad so fucked up,so sorry his ambitions these days.
They definitely earned their teardrops the same 😂
Lol yea his tone the way he speaks.
He reminds me of Cheech or Chong. There is nothing he has not done. SMH.
he just told on himself. Which makes me thinks he isn't who he is or he is not in the cut. He is very scary. This is his life! He is willing to die for this! He is not thinking about death or his salvation. He doesn't hold himself accountable to God. This type of person is frightening.
@B Thank you
Wake up. People are scary. Be prepared to defend yourself. I hope you are not just now finding this out.
He's a lying sack of shit that would get his scrawny windpipe crushed by any real g
@@nextari There is a difference from the average criminal/thug and a person who has no conscience. With the average criminal you got a chance. With someone like this way of thinking, you have to kill or be killed no ifs and or buts. This person is not the average it's either you or me kind of guy. This is a man that if something go down, you got no choice but to kill and witnesses too, destroy cell records, vehicles, bodies etc. Now just sticking with this particular type of person. They have no fear. When someone has nothing to lose, u need to worry. When death isn't even a fear, u need to worry. Have you ever looked into the eyes of a killer or a person with no conscience? I HAVE and that's all I can say about that. There is nothing there. There are no words, no action, no consequence and no emotion that would change any outcome. This is a different type of person. These are real soldiers. These are the people that can turn off the switch, go to war and still operate in day to day activities. No. This person has no grey area in how goes about life. It's black or white. When he makes decisions, he has 1 outcome only. You see how he talks about rules. That's how he lives by rules. it's not if this dont work out, I will try... No, He's a soldier. He is psychotic and I dont mean that loosely. He is goal driven and failure is not an option. By any means necessary. He is extremely dangerous. Only God can save someone like him.
Wonder Woman he’s got vices. His drug use skews his reason to give a damn.
How’s he a snitch? He literally didn’t mention 1 name
blankbug the scar down his cheek...this was done because he is a snitch. It’s a gang thing.
@Kevin Namwisi Makoyi élève It's a bullshit story. That's a puto mark.
Maybe not on here but hence the scar! He has before!
My family is 4 generations of Nortenos and we're always taught growing up southsiders are our enemies, only to find out that we're all the same and come from the same struggles. Hearing Jonny on here, really makes me stop and think about that. You seem like a solid individual and a righteous homeboy I send mines from up North bro and I appreciate you speaking nothing but the truth so some one else can maybe learn from you're mistakes.
Salute from los homie...what part of the norte you from?
Ruining what used to be a great country.
@@joepass1883 like you've made this country any better😭🤣😂 sit the fuck down lame
norteÑos
The thing I like about south siders is they don't think they're black like northerners think
"I'm in charge still but, from a distance, that's why I live in this tent." Come on my guy.
I thought the same thing, just another junkie mouthing off..
Lol he doesn’t run a damn thing and probably got kicked out of his gang. No way they would let a respected gang member live in skid row in a tent. He’s delusional, when your on heroin you imagine all these cool things and the smart things you’ve done or can do to get money. It gives you a huge boost of self confidence when you’re high, in his head he thinks he’s some respected mexican gang member who knows everything about the streets and banging. In reality he’s a heroin addict who makes up almost everything he says or it’s a story he heard in prison but says it like it’s his story. I’ve met so many older dudes like this in Boston but they’re Irish and Italian. Always cocky and think they know everything , telling you a bunch of lies lol.
@@zippoflame658 yup
@@zippoflame658 east la in the 90s was the most active place on earth you sound so dumb relating this guy to anyone in Boston. He’s a straight killer for the cause. Go hate on someone who hides their drug use this man is a legend quit playing give him his respect
@@Forbiddenknowhow they don't know
Don't forget about that nine inch blade he hooped, by far one of his most prized accomplishment.
The anal cavity is only 7 inches long so a nine inch blade doesn't make sense.. Maybe he's just high or he's faulty in some of his stories here
He has one hell of a grasp on his penitentiary wallet no doubt!
Way too much lip for a gangster
yuppppppppppppppp wayyyy tooo much
All the haters don't have a clue what he's saying
I wonder if Johnny has pictures of his younger self Id like to see that!!
I don’t believe him. There is a story, probably a good one. I don’t believe he’s telling his story people who live like that that I know don’t talk.
Wee Annie right
Yeah lil too much info, and talking way too much, I dont buy it.....and I've been in that life
Kirk Dunn I haven’t although I understand that’s over kill. I’m not stupid either he’s talking shit lol
FR.." I ran this prison, this prison, this city, this city, this drug, that drug. kinda lame tbh. You can tell he just be tallkkkin lol
Blablaaaa
Shout out to all peoples watching this a hundred years from now!
hahhahahahaah you fucking clown,thats the worst attempt ever at prosterity
That glass messed his head up😂 he thinks he’s Pablo Escobar
46 years old!! Dam I thought this dude was in his 60’s.
Me too. He looks way older than mid 40s
He has done more than any common 60 year old. Lol I think he may be stretching the true????
@God Speed for realssss
He looks no more than 50
At this age, with all his experience in life on the streets he didn't learn a DAMN THING!!!
He’s still living he learned something
He’s never lived he’s only survived his whole life. Big difference......
Wait wait hold up 15:02 did he just say we set her up ? whoa that's ridiculous!!!! This is why I stay to myself ......
I would say 50% of it is embellished / made up
"I took everything...I got a Rolex watch...a brand new Nissan Pathfinder,
Just with this, (points to his mouth)
no physical, no physical harm came to nobody it was all mental"
I loved the interview but I think with a better mic and less background noise would really step your game up! keep up the great work!
I kinda like the raw city sounds in the background. Keeps it real.
@@Lora-Lynn Yeah me too, gives it a more real feel. I like that his studio is right off the street.
