    I can relate to the story at 14:00 so damn deeply. i had 10 years of supervised felony probation in northern VA. Made it 5 years without a violation. Could barely afford rent even working 55 hours a week, got offered an opportunity in Colorado, had a place to stay, work ready to start on day 1, both my roommates and employer willing to meet with my PO. But got denied anyway, moved anyway, got a warrant, turned myself in, sat in jail for 7 months, and by a small miracle got a reasonable judge that read the letters people sent on my behalf, looked at the case, and threw the whole thing out. if not for that one decent judge my story would have ended a whole lot different, i had 10 years of suspended prison time attached to my probation, for theft over $200. our probation and parole system is broken, and designed to force people into an endless loop of incarceration.

    I just testified in a federal case last week, I was a campaign manager and when a law was repealed the lobbyist claimed my boss had solicited a bribe, attempted extortion and lied to the FBI. Absolutely ruined his life. 40 years of a pristine career and reputation along with his entire savings all for being a moderate and not voting party lines essentially.
    We went to trial two years ago and had a hung jury for two counts and a not guilty on the lying count. Judge dismissed retrial. FEDS appealed and retried him- and we WON again. With public defenders. It was absolutely ASTONISHING. He refused to plead guilty to something he didn’t do and lost everything fighting to clear his name. It was a miracle the first time, the second time around the jury deliberated for under an hour, I’ve never seen grown men so terrified in my life as we all took the elevator down, the lawyers were shaking convinced they lost. Again, absolute miracle. The conviction rate is like 98%+

    I was diagnosed with schizo-affective disorder back in 2016, and I was lucky to get lots of support from friends and family, but one of the biggest helping factors is simply reducing stress, which these probation restrictions clearly prevent. I was only able to stop safely taking the medication after the largest stressors in my life went away, and he's right, that medication can be draining and awful at times. I've been off it for over 3 years now and I'm thriving - I truly appreciate the work y'all are doing to help C Mac, it's people like you that make those stressors go away. Stay strong, C Mac!

    I’ve done prison time, 5 years to be honest lol. I can’t express enough how important family support is through times like this. His grandmother and mother will be a life vest for him even though they will do the time with him. I’d like to say that this video was incredibly accurate on how our justice system works. Most people don’t understand that once you’re in it, they will try to keep you in it. I’ve seen state inmates sold to be housed in other states so the original state can fill more beds and show numbers to the government that another prison needs to be funded and built, instead of actually releasing people on parole who were eligible. This will be a hard road and a long road for this family but I will say the feds have a much better release program than the states. The state will give you a bus ticket and a check for whatever you earned (maybe $40) and let you out the gate. The feds will take you to a halfway house a year or 6 months before your release and let you work in the community and earn a real check at a real job in your own clothes to better acclimate you to society. Prayers to this family

    From the moment I watched Crip Mac's initial interview on No Jumper, I've genuinely admired him. Despite the comments ridiculing him, he remains true to his beliefs. It may seem absurd to some, but they haven't experienced his life, making them unqualified to pass judgment. Beyond all the chaos, he's a kind-hearted individual who grew up in challenging circumstances. In a city like LA, where gun violence claims lives daily, it's unfair to blame him for carrying a gun for self-defense. EVERYTHING GUNNA C-ALRIGHT big homie

    This video teaches me a lot of things and I appreciate Channel 5 and Andrew for making such an amazing project. I also learned from Cmac that life is tough and you will have to hold yourself together and fight through what ever bad situation gets thrown your way! It's all gonna c alright..
