      I'll explain how a 65 year old grandmother from the Midwest can listen to this man's stories and love every minute >>> You and your kids didn't grow up in these neighborhoods. Being a kid and having to zig zag around dudes like this in order to stay out of trouble or get your head bashed in by a couple of them for no reason like i did, was not as glamorous as you might think. The fact that my brother and i didn't join my neighborhood gang made it to where they treated us like we didn't belong there. I'd challenge any of you to take your kids and move into one of these neighborhoods, and come back and tell me you love to hear what this man's got to say.

      @@IZRRL you’re right. I failed to recognize my ignorance regarding my statement. I can’t imagine what it must be like to live in a city that’s run by gangs. I grew up completely opposite to what this man is talking about. I shouldn’t see it as glamorous or romantic at any level. My shallow statements were not thought through. I’m sorry for that, but thank you for enlightening me. You presented another level for me to think about. I’ve learned a good lesson, so please accept my apology.
      The Soft White Underbelly is my first glimpse into this world. I honestly had no idea what life is like in these neighborhoods or on skid row. In fact, I wish Mark would interview people who grew up in and around, but yet escaped becoming a gang member, drug dealer or prostitute. I think people like you are the unsung heroes, if we were to evaluate the whole picture.

      Here’s a k9 exclusive for you k9 fan.
      Early 90’s loads of graffiti and petty crimes turned into out of town storefront robberies starting around 12 all the way through 21. My neighborhood was a split between nortenos and surenos and other Hispanic and black gangs that were further down. California had some rough areas and still does. Setting set.
      2:00am-ish 4 other friends about 24 cans of spray paint on the highway in a really exposed spot of the highway called Highway 101. Loads of sneaky stuff and we finished out pieces and were sneaking back onto the other side of the huge wall that separated the highway roads and neighborhoods on the other side. Walking back the way we came in, stopping for car lights, ducking then continuing on. Clear as day we hear radio noise and everything went quiet, all of us stopped walking in unison. No kidding, one loud crunch from us stepping and we heard radio noise undoubtedly that time and we heard really low a white guy say some police shit basically saying nobody use the radio. So we booked it the other way and we hear him fumbling and yelling stuff wrong in the beginning and the last part was clear “There’s no cars”. Running away none of that clicked. We ran and I had my paint still realizing everything was running empty handed. I threw my paint, heard sirens on the other side of the wall. I was winded and knew I had to hide or I’d get caught so we boosted each other over to a tree we used to get over and my heaviest friend was last and we got him up slower and that was the first time I heard barking. The horse hooves Johnny mentioned hahaha yeah German Shepard’s got some big paws! Once he noticed us on the tree getting out last friend over his barks were loud loud and whimper-y. We all split up running down different back streets and I picked close to the wall as a hiding place because they’d never think I’d be that brave or stupid. I heard police cars zooming by and the dog barking. I heard sirens for a while then only gravel from car tires cop rolling up and down the blocks from the spot I was I could see the way we came down off the wall, and the k-9 was there smelling where we had to land when we jumped from the wall. Saw one flashlight shine the dogs direction then for a few minutes just the dog circling smelling around in that one spot. Being terrified he’s gonna smell me and find me I try to get down off the camper I climbed onto to hide on top of. Getting down made a lot of noise because of the tarp covering the top of the camper and when I hit the floor I heard nails and bolted into the closest backyard that had the gate half opened and I swiped the door closed and didn’t hear the clank from it closing and a split second later I was feeling the most intense mauling I’ve ever experienced. I screamed a deathly scream. Thick jeans plus calve muscles mean gnarly grip. I knew exactly why Johnny mentioned it the way he mentioned it. He mentioned how he heard his friend scream. Then right after added his friend also got to hear him scream haha. The dog honesty sounds and looks like he wants to kill you. I wrestled with the dog for an eternity it felt like and now heard voices yelling at me to do things. One voice said let go the other voice was yelling fooss and all I could see or feel was wet from slobber or blood. My jacket was now off and sleeves inside out wrapped around my right side and the dog. While fighting I felt nothing the whole struggle. Getting thrashed around by a dog with teeth so big is no joke. The pain hit me like a semi truck when they had me by the passenger door/hood. I heard the white guy voice again. Pretty distinctive and I looked and he’s just how I imagined. Standard white cop face and demeanor.
      He said some police stuff for get medical and he said something to the other cop and came to me and said that is why you never run from a cop with a ‘go switch’ and gave me a grin. The police officer got the last laugh in this story and isn’t one of my proudest moments. Your comment plus Johnny’s mention took me back to my youth and how much further I’ve become as my own person. I’m proud of where I came from and the person I’ve worked hard to become. I would like to 2nd your statements, Johnny is an excellent story teller, I also love dogs and have a special kind of admiration for k9 dogs but that’s all, and most importantly if any young people read this, none of this should glorify it for you, let these experiences and real life stories serve as an example of what not to do. STAY IN SCHOOL!

I know and have met alot of cool vato's but you are absolutely the most interesting and legit man i have come across. Love your honesty and way you speak and carry yourself. You exhibit the true gang respect that in the old days was there amongst all the gangs regardless of what race or gang they belonged to. Now punks are shooting up neighborhoods and don't even know why. They claim it's about respect. Most of them today would piss their pants if you approached them and put them in their place. Keep on being yourself. You are a true Mexican American gangster that is one of the last of a dying breed. Pun intended...
