The man did 45 years after he flipped. I have an old friend that knew Michael in the 70s at Tracy before he was sent to Folsom and before he dropped out. He had love and respect for him then, and has love and respect for him now. Keyboard warriors should keep their mouths shut about things they know nothing about.
@@kevinmitchell4018 I don't believe anything I hear and only half of what I see.But it seems to me he's being honest about his motivation to drop out, if nothing else. That's what matters to me about his story. Didn't Chuck Norris have to go into hiding when Michael was paroled?
@TheMark5977 . u got me on that one😁the guy said he's stronger than Arnold swawegger.DISPATCHED an entire group of nf wth knives, bin shot I don't know how many times& stabbed,doesn't think pedophiles should not die& he scared Chuck Norris into hiding. he's still alright wth me👍
Imagine being incarcerated for something you are innocent of and also told you can't practice religion. Then, after making the best of your worst years, to come full circle. I have so much respect for him and the humanity he spreads.😊
When he's not stealing money from the homeless and elderly in California, right? Other than that, he's got a lot of integrity, doesn't he? 😂😅 Fing please!
Michael, so much respect for you!! My older brother spoke nothing of his time in Florence AZ as a penitentiary I heard many stories about him, not knowing the true from the false but ignorantly riding the coattail of his name. He has since past and I am (for the most part) clear headed and left with many questions. And being left with questions I let my unbridled mind makeup illusory stories. I so much wanted to show him a different side of life but he was 6' 4" +- 280lbs and I stand 5'7" and 160 wet . I've followed your story for many years and always think of my brother . Anyways...... thanks for being you!! L&R
He's a good storyteller, and he articulates himself well, but I don't believe the majority of what he claims he has done and other people that have been locked up with him say he's not being completely honest.
@@cinemillstv My friend, I was being sarcastic because you didn't give him an answer and the truth is, I didn't even know it was a quote from the bible but by the way you wrote I figured it must have been from a holy book. Your answer was funny because I still believe he wants an answer :D
The other thing that makes you a warrior and not just a problem is that you fight what's in front of you not because you hate what's in front of you, but because you love what is behind you.
@@cinemillstv that is why it is impossible to be a lover and not a fighter sir. You said it yourself. That's why cliches are not wisdom. God bless and stay safe
This clown is a woke AB dropout. He is also involved in a huge fraud case that bilked homeless people out of unemployment and other low rent charges, it’s on file if you want to research it. He is also a liar if you haven’t figured it out by now😂
I enjoyed this interview. Michael is a very charismatic and intelligent man. Spending 45 years in prison and coming out intact whilst still looking very sharp is quite something. Ive revently seen photos of Michael in the brand back in the day, the dude looks like a machine.
I think people will generally form a base of negative emotion for ex prisoners and in a certain sense this emotion is rightly justified even more so with such a high profiled case or cases. I have no doubt that Michael has done and is doing the right thing upon my own rational judgement. Thank you.
@@lonetobefree5722 hes not as intelligent as you think your just not very smart especially you believe this clown 80% of the crap he spews out of his mouth are lies 🙄
I'm 50 years old I have seen and read many interviews but this has been the first time I have been over impressed. This man I very intelligent and is people like him that make a difference.

Mr Thompson you have my admiration, not only because you are a bad ass who can fight like a pro, but also because you educated yourself and had the courage to testify against the brand. You are charismatic and i think a lot of people are jealous of you so they are talking nonsense. Greetings from Israel
Jews should be proud because the founding member of the AB was TD Bingham who was half Jewish with the Star of David tattooed on his arm. Goes to show that Zionizm and Nazism are two sides of the same coin like Hitler's Mischlinge soldiers and the Lehi Stern Gang.
At his birth , Thompson slapped the doctor who tended to his birth. As a result they became respectful friends and that is how Thompson earned his MD and how the Doctor became an honorary native healer.
I dont know why Thomson lies about petty things like where he grew up. Reservation? No. He's adopted and grew up in Villa Park Ca near me. He played football for Villa Park High in the 1970's.
He testified against the ab because they were killing civilians and never ask for reduction of sentence , he did it out of principle. This is a brave man
You are wrong this man is a complete piece of shit who lied his face off even faked an attack on himself to make the parole board would believe his vow of non violence
I'm sure the con that told you that got his ass beat on the reg and would never have the balls to say such bull shit to his face. Just a chump like you😂
I couldn’t imagine being locked up and isolated from society for 45 yrs to be let out into a whole new world and adapting to it. Enjoy your FREEDOM my man.
This is one wise and grounded man right here. With all he's experienced in his life he still has been able to hold on to his humanity. That is his greatest gift. God bless him and his Wife and all the good they're trying to do for their fellow human beings. Thank you for posting.🙏🏻✌🏻
He is very intelligent for sure but I 100% disagree with his views on child molesters. He seems more worried about the rights of child molesters than the rights of the children to be left the hell alone. Anyone that preys on children deserves the ultimate penalty.
Dude has shoveled more dirt in so many faces, but karma is a mistress and she will call you when you are weak brother. Don't sleep on the brotherhood. These fools keep calling him friend or saying how great he is but he would shank them up in a heart beat
So I’ve spent 5.5 years in prison in NY at around year 2 I got into a fight with an inmate and because a female officer was hurt while in the process of breaking the fight up. I was given 33 months in solitary confinement…. Being inside a cage for. 23.5/24 hours a day 365 days a years 100% changes a lot of things. When I finished my time in solitary. I wasn’t able to sleep without sleeping meditations, I was super pissed all the time, PTSD and many other things. Inside the cage you lost track of time you don’t know what day it is you have no idea what time it is… the box is very harmful and only makes the person worse
@@cinemillstv o take full responsibility for my actions the story was the dude I beat up was my cellmate he was only in there 2 hours. He told me what he was in there for and I gave him the opportunity to leave immediately and he said “I’m not leaving I’m not allowed to leave man it else I would. So I beat him for for awhile. The COs can’t just open the door and break it up. They need to”backup” meaning at least 4 COs and one needs to be a sergeant.
I was on a Santa Barbara bus ride from court and met an Aryan Brotherhood from Montana. He was in Chino Ca state prison the same time my brother was there and he introduced himself and they had respect for one another over me. I thought that was so kool. RIP to my brother and Mr Aryan Brother I pray your out and living a good life. Riding horses and all “FREEDOM” 🇺🇸🙏🏻
Mr. Thompson and Interviewr Would have liked to see pushback from the interviewer on Mr. Thompsons ideas on what's "Boring". Great distinction on intamiscy. I highly respect the pre-cancel status, still shining.
That was the 'Life' sentence in California until November 1978, at which time they changed the murder one sentence to 25 to life, murder 2 from 5 to life to 15 to life. All it meant was you did a minimum of 7 calendar years to be eligible for parole. Before politics took over, if a lifer programed he would get a parole date at 7 years to be released in maybe 4, 5, years, the idea being that as a 'lifer with a date', you weren't going to risque losing it because if you did you might never get it back. Until politics took over, a lifer typically did between 11 and 13 years. That all changed when Dukmejian was Governor when the door was closed for lifers until we got all that changed in court. It didn't matter if you were locked up 2 years or 20 years, the door closed until the late 90's, early 2000's. I was a 7 to life and only did 33 years. Everybody I associated with had been there long before I got there and were there long after I left. Fortunately, most are now out. I just picked up an old friend that had been there 52 years. And I thought I was lost when I got out.
I wish him the best. Many years ago, I worked in the CoCo County Jail and had to supervise a few AB members and drop outs. They were all very respectful (to me at least) and quite articulate. The real gangsters in my experience did a lot to educate themselves. Their houses were always filled with books and it was not uncommon to see them reading or playing chess. As an avid Chess player myself, there were inmates I know who were world class.. Best of luck to this man.
This guy is 100% EUROPEAN !!!..the fact that he lived and grew up with Native American Indians doesnt change that....Blue eyes, tall, white ?!? that is CAUCASIAN right there
@@dennisalexanderson6975 jaa, det märks att han har haft tid att tänka, jag trodde inte jag skulle hitta en filosof med en sådan bakgrund. Men jag kan inte sluta lyssna!
@@jocke.tattoo.s minns jag såg honom första gången i en dokumentär om AB och tyckte att han var så jävla mycket smartare än alla andra, och jag blev glad av att höra att han hade kommit ut, nu finns det flera bra intervjuer med honom. Du får ha en bra dag min vän ✊🏼
Thus far only disagree with Michael on his pedestalization of his wife referring to her as a mentor is bad from my experience and his opinion and compassion towards child molesters and his repeatedly stated opinion on hate groups…He only specifically states white supremasists as a hate group…
I don’t believe half of what he says. He’s facing a jury trial in California so is probably trying to sound as ‘progressive’ as possible in order to manipulate and gain sympathy.
Be careful,that emotional immaturity can cause us a lot problems. We have to know our triggers and stay the hell from them. Emotional maturity is a real sign becoming adult .
Hey i wish michael success in the future and all others that are trying to live life the right way ask any man or women if they could be released from serving time right now and almost all of them would say yes i am in support of any persons that just simply wants to be free and live there life i dont know any details about who where what and or why does not involve me so i dont get involved 😊❤
WHAT A BRILLIANT AMAZING KNOWLEDGEABLE INTELLIGENT POSITIVE COURAGEOUS MAN VERY HONOURABLE PROUD HELPFUL WILLING DISCIPLINE ETCETCETC A TEACHER A LEADER
When he's not stealing money from the homeless and elderly in California, right? Other than that, he's got a lot of integrity, doesn't he? 😂😅 Fing please!
My words: "There is a fine line between a Rebel, an Outlaw & a real Patriot. I am all three." I have been 'railroaded' by the corrupt judicial system/society/law enforcement, betrayed by so called 'Brother's' in a 1%er Club & my heart goes out to you as you really want to make a difference as do I. Even though you are an 'elder' to me you have my 'Blessings'. Title of my book in process: "Absolute Freedom Is An Illusion"
I remember this man from a documentary and even then you could tell he was a very intelligent man and that he had basically been punished for intelligent and speaking his mind
When he's not stealing money from the homeless and elderly in California, right? Other than that, he's got a lot of integrity, doesn't he? 😂😅 Fing please!
He's a big guy like the mountains he comes from. All those American Indians like him are huge men that come from mountains. Mountains are huge. He sounds like an elder not like a old man. Deep in spirit which is good. Good luck to you myman we have alot Thompsons on our reservation in so.dak.
I love to hear Michaels interviews and realize hes an incredibly intelligent man. That said the white privilege comment is off, especially in my experience. As an Irish/Indian American my white skin didnt help me at all, or for that matter, my ancestors! Love ya Mike, but I disagree with that, and that sentiment is being turned hard against white people, which is absurd in this day and age.
TBowie I think he meant he's seen white and black people get disproportionate sentences based on the same crimes. Sadly we have seen this too with our own eyes
@@cinemillstv Yes, I could agree with that. That happens quite often, especially in smaller town America. If that's what was meant, then I agree, but I can go along with blanket white priveledge statements. As a matter of fact, I've seen numerous times (college funds being one) where blacks were given Preferential treatment just because (there was a blacks only study area which in my opi ion is no different that seperate bathrooms or drinking fountains, its wrong no matter who does it). I'm all for equal treatment of everyone, but that doesn't happen by screwing over white males now, because there was slavery. Preferential treatment of any group is going to breed racism, not fix it. Anyhow, those are my thoughts anyway.
He's entertaining and he's a smart men but he lies a lot or lives in a buble due to have been in prison for so long. From one interview to another his storys change. He still has a very interesting story to tell. Good video men
wild you said that but I can hear it too, with our eyes glued we see what they want. CM~ “prison doesn’t begin and end at the gates, it’s in our minds if we choose it. dude is still in prison.
He's right you know, the world is beautiful its the people or a lot of them that let the side down. These could be people that live side by side with you and are probably some of the beings you will encounter in the final fight.
It's refreshing to hear from someone who has spent so much time incarcerated come out and express so much optimism.
hes an extremely tacticle and layered dude you cannot accept anything at face value from him other than hes a tacticle genius warlord
@@koltred You may know him. I don't so I give him the benefit of the doubt.
He has a strong spirit.

Bennie Warhorse (Michaels Book) is coming out very soon. Stay tuned
Were/are the brand members allowed to fight ???
Or, does ever encounter have to be, to eliminate the opponent &/or the other guy ???
no hands policy for Brand Members -
Mike was on my yard for a minute. Level 4 SNY program. Quiet dude that didn't cause any trouble, just did his time.
Watched him in other interviews, amazing stories. Glad he is enjoying his life after everything that has gone down for him.
This man needs a movie about him
Has he written an autobiography?
Ray - Michael has written about 10 chapters so far - Look out for his book it will be called "War Horse" - coming very soon
Yeah it’s called how to tell a million believable lies
Yeah, it's in the FICTION section.
Where may I buy the book war horse? So many scammers try to trick me on these sites.

how a movie has not been made on this guy is beyond me. The guy who plays reacher would be ideal

Thus far only disagree with Michael on his pedestalization of his wife referring to her as a mentor is bad from my experience and his opinion and compassion towards child molesters and his repeatedly stated opinion on hate groups…He only specifically states white supremasists as a hate group…
I don’t believe half of what he says. He’s facing a jury trial in California so is probably trying to sound as ‘progressive’ as possible in order to manipulate and gain sympathy.
Now he’s back in prison for EDD fraud!! lol. Can’t fix a convict who only knows how to make money the wrong way.
Be careful,that emotional immaturity can cause us a lot problems. We have to know our triggers and stay the hell from them. Emotional maturity is a real sign becoming adult .
so many good people in the world we will never know about because we're too busy making heroes out of aholes
I never knew WILLIE NELSON was the chief of AB
No you didnt.
He starts off with a lie 🤣🤣🤣 they didn’t want him in the black panthers 🤣🤣 for obvious reasons lol
Like your message sir.
What makes but what we do. You made a strong journey to reflect on.
Mike has been on a journey most men have never ventured. Thanks for watching.
Hey i wish michael success in the future and all others that are trying to live life the right way ask any man or women if they could be released from serving time right now and almost all of them would say yes i am in support of any persons that just simply wants to be free and live there life i dont know any details about who where what and or why does not involve me so i dont get involved 😊❤
WHAT A BRILLIANT AMAZING KNOWLEDGEABLE INTELLIGENT POSITIVE COURAGEOUS MAN VERY HONOURABLE PROUD HELPFUL WILLING DISCIPLINE ETCETCETC A TEACHER A LEADER
When he's not stealing money from the homeless and elderly in California, right? Other than that, he's got a lot of integrity, doesn't he? 😂😅 Fing please!
The AB always had few numbers, they only wanted the best of the best.
I like this guys way of redemption thinking ❤️🙏🏻
He definitely lying about a lot stuff. He can’t admit he 🐀. Saying he told atf no!!!😂😂😂
Was he on his way to hunt for dinosaur fossils after this interview 😅
No you didnt.
How tf do you know?
My words: "There is a fine line between a Rebel, an Outlaw & a real Patriot. I am all three." I have been 'railroaded' by the corrupt judicial system/society/law enforcement, betrayed by so called 'Brother's' in a 1%er Club & my heart goes out to you as you really want to make a difference as do I. Even though you are an 'elder' to me you have my 'Blessings'. Title of my book in process: "Absolute Freedom Is An Illusion"

Glad to see he atleast got some time outside the bars
Imagine how our descendants shall view us.
Lmao @ these clowns in the comments believing all his bullshit stories.
I remember this man from a documentary and even then you could tell he was a very intelligent man and that he had basically been punished for intelligent and speaking his mind
Wow. Very compelling interview. This interview should be on Good Morning America.
Liar. Ask around. He's hated by the AB.
We love you Mike!
Big Mike is an absolute LEGEND
In his own mind nothing more than a lying rat🤣🤣🤣
Hes a legend in his own mind. Half this shit has been debunked. He's simply a self-serving sociopath.
When he's not stealing money from the homeless and elderly in California, right? Other than that, he's got a lot of integrity, doesn't he? 😂😅 Fing please!
Those are the steeliest steely eyes I've ever seen anyway. Period.
great intelligent human
I wonder why Thomas Silverstein's name wasn't brought up as one of the Aryan top soldiers.
Did you serve him cheese during intermission?
No you didn’t
When you run into him ask him that….bet you won’t pussy
Danny big mark 6 8. Or 6. 9 not 62 right
He claims to have no political leanings yet labels himself a "Progressive". That's fresh.
He didn't label himself progressive.
Word for word at 46:40. Your mom's a hoe.
You can’t possibly believe this guy
couldn't hear u can u repeat that
This man is truly outstanding 2 listen 2
He's a big guy like the mountains he comes from. All those American Indians like him are huge men that come from mountains. Mountains are huge. He sounds like an elder not like a old man. Deep in spirit which is good. Good luck to you myman we have alot Thompsons on our reservation in so.dak.
He is only part native . 95% White
he is back in prison
I love to hear Michaels interviews and realize hes an incredibly intelligent man. That said the white privilege comment is off, especially in my experience. As an Irish/Indian American my white skin didnt help me at all, or for that matter, my ancestors! Love ya Mike, but I disagree with that, and that sentiment is being turned hard against white people, which is absurd in this day and age.
TBowie I think he meant he's seen white and black people get disproportionate sentences based on the same crimes. Sadly we have seen this too with our own eyes
@@cinemillstv Yes, I could agree with that. That happens quite often, especially in smaller town America. If that's what was meant, then I agree, but I can go along with blanket white priveledge statements. As a matter of fact, I've seen numerous times (college funds being one) where blacks were given Preferential treatment just because (there was a blacks only study area which in my opi ion is no different that seperate bathrooms or drinking fountains, its wrong no matter who does it). I'm all for equal treatment of everyone, but that doesn't happen by screwing over white males now, because there was slavery. Preferential treatment of any group is going to breed racism, not fix it. Anyhow, those are my thoughts anyway.
He's entertaining and he's a smart men but he lies a lot or lives in a buble due to have been in prison for so long. From one interview to another his storys change. He still has a very interesting story to tell. Good video men
Very interesting
Michael sounds like the Other Michael..
When his eyes go to HIS lower right he's lying..
UR A F%L
Usually, yes
He’s 100% lefty
wild you said that but I can hear it too, with our eyes glued we see what they want. CM~ “prison doesn’t begin and end at the gates, it’s in our minds if we choose it. dude is still in prison.
This man is impressive! This man is a leader.
He's right you know, the world is beautiful its the people or a lot of them that let the side down. These could be people that live side by side with you and are probably some of the beings you will encounter in the final fight.
Good stuff
