Ali is so spot on 😳🍀😳🍀😳 ..
Mitchell just wanted to see him in his own mind and to me
.that means .
if you can't get nothing else from a person.. that's the last resort .
Stripping somebody..
and that is insane.
Allow people to be their own individuality!
Peace
People seem to forget the part of the story where the two people who were going to be in jail for the rest of their lives went to go stop another young, lost brother from throwing away the rest of his.
Man! That part! Life's something else. Orchestrated and mapped to PERFECTION.
Nobody forgot
Right !, I don’t know about you but I call that divine intervention and they saw the man he was supposed to be
True O.G.'s
It brought a tear to my eye no joke
He managed to make an attempted murder funny. That’s a real comic
exactly
Lol I"m convinced this is story B not A;
there were moments in this where i was like damn this dude is dead serious lmao
Ms. Angela how is attempted murder funny? He was doing 15 years as a felon who had problems moving contraband and weapons due to his position in prison that allowed him high volume of contact and access to parts to do so. He cried while having to strip in public part of the prison because he has made false claims and they do so for his and their safety. Ask anyone who’s done time or jailers. If that inmate slammed the gate and yelled like the end of his story code would have been called and full lock down of the prison to secure the inmate and risk of assault/ murder... he’s lying about it all or most of it for laughs
Wild Angel0317 he didn’t say the inmate slammed the door he said the guard did and I believe all jokes aside he either smoked him for real and tweaked the story for jokes or part of the story only went on in his head and he was just another inmate dealing with inmate shit
To take that level of trauma, anger, hatred and frustration and distill it into humor is astounding. This man is an Alchemist.
The great part is,some of us that have been there don’t even notice.not 5 min in he ain’t killing mitchel we are
No, he's a comedian
This is very real trauma too many ppl share being humiliated and degraded by law enforcement. I’m sure a lot of this went over the audience but HE NEEDS AN AWARD!! 🏆
The true definition of the concept of alchemy turn lead into gold
Agreed!
Mitchell watches and dislikes this video every day. Mitchell, if you’re reading this... we all got on boots.
Mitchell looks down "YT Commenters do have on boots" and takes off running.
Got my boots on too!! Tf!
👣🖖🏄♂️♂️🤙🍻👏💪✊🌶️🤟🦾✌️
Imma hit up my Mexican friends and we all gonna have on boots
Straight up steel toes!!
They're laughing, but he's dead damn serious. Thank God he made it & can laugh now.
EXACTLY, DEAD ASS SERIOUS!!! LMAO
That's the best part
I was thinking the same thing ... these people either don't know or don't understand ... he is not joking at all!!
@@redperry4615 True.
@@farylboykin8741 I am perfectly aware that he is not joking and i still laugh, because the way he delivers it is funny, thats what comedians do.
That tear wasn't about embarrassment, it's about rage.
@fernanda Mendez 7:51 it's less a tear and more visible welling up in his right eye.
Muzikrazy213 then Shut the hell up
@@Swivavelli bitch, he was just answering your question
@@teare8972 😂😂
This wasn’t rage... this was someone taking something from him just because he could... Abuse is abuse doesn’t matter he was an inmate.
The fact that 8 months later the mention of Ali's name was enough to terrify Mitchell shows that he knew exactly what he did to him. They treat prisoners as less than human then get scared when one snaps.
I find it so effin infuritating when people mistreat and mistreat others repeatedly(?) and then act surprised when they get treated from the same fountain... Like why would you mistreat someone in the first place? And then they dare to act all *shocked pikachu meme* when they reap what they sowed?
Makes me wanna attack them wildly and uncontrollably(?)🙄🙄🤮🤧😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😾😾💢💢💢💢
Most cops aren’t like that in prison at least in California cause they will get got.Its about respect they have to coexist with the inmates or else they know what has happened to asshole cops in the California corrections they get killed by multiple people.
@@ogspermcell no. Most cops are exactly like that. Most prison guards are worse, because they couldn't be cops. What kind of person wants to be a cop? What kind of person wants to be a guard? That's a personality disorder, not a higher calling.
@@crashraynor im speaking on a southsiders perspective in California corrections cause guards know what time it is ,it’s about respect.
@@ogspermcell no, its about control
this dude is not telling jokes, he's telling life stories..
That’s what makes him so great. He made a career turning his trials and tribulations into comedy.
That’s most of comedy . The realest comedy is turning your pain into laughter .
This was a funny story, but the fact that prison had briefly turned him into not just a killer, but one capable of playing the long game. The takeaway here is that prison is not for rehabilitation
like he said, its judicial slavery

And im standin right by his side!!! There are sooo many Mitchells in this world. We gon drank it together.

The fact they missed the Nat Turner joke still kills me to this day
It really was probably the funniest part of the whole story, and it fell on deaf ears.
Right on
they dont know what they dont know. I didnt learn about him till college💁🏾 but I feel the sentiment.
I learned about Nat Turner from an episode of the Boondocks, then went and looked him up.
I'm from Southampton County and he a legend out there. Most white people hate him but when I left and started experiencing life I was hella surprised to find out that people didn't know who he was
there is nothing more dangerous like a person convinced that they have nothing to lose
Joe Lunchbucket smh man!
Facts
Or someone who is afraid. Cause fear drives you to do crazy stuff
A person with everything to lose, in the right context, is the real game changer.
Losing all hope was freedom
Moral of the story: take a non violent human being and belittle/ humiliate him like an animal and expect an animalistic outcome.
KnowledgeGizmo animalistic*(?)
The Night of on HBO while fiction made me think the same and I started googling the American prison system because that dude was on trial yet in prison while on trial. Furthermore, even knowing he might be innocent the prosecutor still tried him. It made me think, does this actually happen?

@@space_rocky "picture paragraphs are loaded wise words being quoted"
As a former CO, the person he described is unfortunately way too prevalent in prisons. A person who is there to inflict harm on people. They don't like themselves or they don't have control in their home lives and they come to the prison to feel powerful. 🤦🏾
Yes and alot of cops are like this too. Love to see them get dui and lose it all.
Yes! I just commented exactly this. I'm also a former CO. I swear some of the Officers I worked with disturbed me more than the inmates.
In my 20's I worked at a homeless shelter and a co-worker, older guy, use to bully and yell at this guys and I couldn't understand why until one day I ran into him and his wife at a restaurant and OG barely said a few words to me aside from introducing me and that was when I put it together and realized he behaved that way at work because he couldn't at home because his wife ran everything. Sixty year old man was overcompensating at work because as you say, he "didn't have control in his home and came to work to feel powerful". I actually began to feel sorry for him more than the guys he barked at because the guys he barked at were probably homeless because they refused to have his sad existence.
Thank you for weighing in. It's hard to judge his behavior if you're not a CO, because obviously it's a rough job with some dangerous people.
It's nice to hear someone say that Mitchel's behavior was uncalled for.
I like to think that's not the norm.
As someone who have experienced this kind of rage, I can't laugh comfortably. People who bring out the monster in people are literal devils.
I agree !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly 💯
Facts.
Those of us who have experienced this level of trauma induced vengeance cravings. Cannot laugh. We only know the pain of self-control over real satisfaction. You can tell a part of him still wishes he could have stabbed him.
All I kept thinking when everyone was laughing is "this isn't a joke."
"Prison is like judicial slavery.....And I'm Nat Turner" best damn quote ever
LOVE IT✊🏿🖤
And they missed this
I didnt get it...
@@wadecounty9211 its the most chad part of black history look up Nat turner
He revolted agenst his slave owners and killed a bunch of other slave owners with other freed slaves
Low key he may have been a bit crazy he said though he was on a mission from God or something but he was also very smart
@@nerfornuffin9982 aye He wasn't playing tho he was like a 20th century deadshot just within the guns. He meant what he said and he said what he meant and that's on freedom
if you treat a human like an animal, he will act like one
They want you to act on your emotions so they can keep you longer. People do stupid things out of anger.
@@TheTaterTotP80 True. Shouldn't be cruel to animals. But there's a difference between how I treat a dog and a human being. Some slave owners were even nice to their human slaves...not necessarily cruel...yet they were enslaved and sometimes treated as pets. So...though I agree with your point, I would say that a human should be treated like a human...NOT like an animal. Besides, all animals (unless trained otherwise) do this naturally...they treat their own kind better, that is...with more respect than other animals.
Actually if you treat a human like an animal, he will act like a HUMAN, because the animal is the person who's insanity and lack of humanity leads him to treat others in an inhumane way.
@D'Afrique Rousseau soo. you are of the mind that law enforcement only acts in aggression towards people if they receive aggression.. is that it? well brother, i hate to tell you but when you wake up from that dream of a perfect world, you'l find much of reality is just the opposite. And as for civil. interesting choice of words, because as far as i see, historically speaking, those who causally used the words civil and civilized are specifically and historically those who devastate civilizations for the sake of their own desires, People that despite the innocence they clad and brand themselves in , are anything but civilized.
@@xevious2501I can use this as a plot twist of humanizing a villain. TY.
*Screenshot comment* for archiving.
Being a prison guard is not an excuse to sexually abuse or humiliate someone. Being a prisoner is not a reason to be attacked, harassed or abused. A lot of times we treat criminals like they're no longer people. My heart goes out to Ali, and everyone else who's ever been in his situation.
Unfortunately not everyone is as civilized as a human being should, both guard and prisoner and such people must be treated how they are presenting themselves to be treated.
🎯💯
This guy is truly a storyteller. I felt like I was right there with him. I'm trying to figure out when I could see him live
Yes! Ali Siddiq is one of the best storyteller out there. I love his stand up! It’s a goal to see his standup some day.
@@esvalor2003 update! I got to see him in Charlotte in June. Incredible! These videos don't do him justice.
You can see in his eyes getting angry recalling this story but he was able to maintain his composure to get the rest of the joke out. Says a lot about his character
Jared McKenzie 💯
His work to help others on this side of the bars says a lot too. We have to keep non-violent offenders OUT of the prison system. We must end the war on drugs for starters.
Those sips of water were both for timing and maintaining composure of that I know
What joke?
(2 years later but) Truth. The fact that he can get on stage and talk *comedy* about a CO's perverted need to dehumanize is......levels beyond anything anyone else is doing.
The tears in his eyes, when he described how Mitchell abused him, just killed me. It's disgusting how people in authority abuse their power over the weak!!!
Yea but we weren't there so who knows what happened

Whew! The glassy-eyed serious look he at while telling the Mitchell story was enough to tell me that he meant every word of what he said.
I'm startled..he's a great storyteller but he's telling the truth..can you not see the pain in his eyes??? I felt his pain while he still tried to get the jokes out. I applaud his talent..well executed!!
"Prison is judicial slavery, and I'm Natt Turner." shit that's deep

is it, though?
@@TWHowl Apparently it was. The audience didn't seem to get it, so he had to tell them that they would have to know history to understand why that message was "coded".

@@WadeMitchell813 youre right, but wheres the funnny in his story?? not even he was laughing
@@wolololer comedy has room for uncomfortable truths. It's nice to have "the funnny", but its not a requirement for revelation, which is the dark side of comedy.

Hope Mitchell already met his karmic ending. Walking away lets karma do its thing.
@Dien M hes a fake
They laughing cause he's turning it into comedy... But homeboy dead ass serious
Yeeep story is too clear
Yes he was frfr. Realistic. Love his stories have meaning
Too serious!
Hell fuckin yea he was serious.
It's heartbreaking..
Former Correctional Officer here: In our facility people like "Mitchell" didnt last long. We were there to keep EVERYONE safe and help people get better. Mitchell would have ended up in a dark corner with no cameras for doing this kind of thing to one of our inmates, and he would have known to either quit or get with the picture. Those were people in there, not toys or animals.
Yup, cuz people like that make it unsafe for everyone. I used to be a juvenile corrections officer, and though we didn't "deal with them" ourselves - nobody wanted to work with them or come to their aid.
Thank you
It's very important that people fight the results of the Stanford prison experiment.
Thank you. Much respect!
I ain’t never been to jail..but I felt Ali 1000% on this story fr
I was wondering why the crowd was laughing cause this story is pretty serious, then I realized no one laughed at the Nat Turner joke.
Cuz the story is funny
🤣
He added certain parts that were humorous like "uncontrollable stabbing". All stabbing is contollable.
@@brandondixon207 you missed my point lol

The real MVP's are Lesley and Mustafa. If they didn't look out for their boy we wouldn't be blessed with Ali Saddiq comedy. They knew he was meant for more than prison. I wonder if they could ever see this.

You're a riot!
Eh? Ehhhh???
Anyone?
that's what i said when i saw his face in this one
Some fun facts: Al-Amin means “the trustworthy”, which is one of the nicknames of prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), so is Mustafa, which means “the chosen one”. In this amazing story, the trustworthy showed care and raised concern, while the chosen one made the decisive decision of going and rescuing Ali from the crime. Ali’s last name “Siddiq” means “loyal and truthful”, and Ali Siddiq is known for his unique and mesmerising gift of recounting true stories in a captive manner. Sometimes we see interesting links between one’s Muslim name and his mission/role/character in life. May Allah keep guiding brother Ali Siddiq and improving his character and raising his status in this life and the next.
This is petty interesting 🤔 thank you for sharing this.
Alhamdulillah....
This show generally has some dark, serious moments.
This story is heavy AF but, it being the first of his work I'd seen, it made me an instant fan.

I will guarantee, as a correctional officer, Mitchell didn't lose a wink. But this Mitchell guy is the reason why other officers get hurt

The brutal honesty in this has me crying and laughing at times. This is a truly beautiful and amazing inspiring telling of ones life. I know it’s comedy… but I see the reality in his eyes. It’s magic.
It's the art of storytelling. And most Comedians, turn their pain into laughter!
I laughed and cried at his story. It was heartbreaking to hear how Mitchell treated him! Im glad it worked out for him! He's a great comedian and story teller.
So basically mustafa and lesley are the real heroes of this story 👍🏻😂😂
Those two are heroes, but Ali is the brave rebel and Mitchell is the monster.
“I plan on killing Mitchell” we laughing but he not lying 😭😂😂
The fact that this man was finna straight murder somebody and he wasn’t even violent before that’s crazy

And now think about if he actually killed Mitchell. It would’ve been a tragic story about how dangerous it is to be a prison officer and everyone would’ve felt so bad for the dude and his family. His family and everyone else would’ve called him an animal and called for Ali’s death.....
Until you get the full story here and now not an ounce a remorse for that animal Mitchell. Think about how many stories we hear only one side. Crazy

It's such a weird circumstance. You don't know how many cases the suspect had reason to act violent in because it's always from laws perspective.
every prison guard is a monster by sheer virtue of their station.
@bibersgurl98Except they're not. He just clearly told you that all the other guards treated him with respect because he conducted himself with respect.
That Nat Turner reference was dope.
Wow!!!! This was the best story I have ever heard. Talk about divine intervention. Bro.. much respect to you, Mustafa and Alamein. We all know that the American prison system is chattel slavery for black men but to hear you describe it so intimately and relatable is painful and as a stand up comedy act, no less, (the irony) Blessings..Blessings.. Blessings 🙌🏾🙏🏽❤️
Sad thing is there are so many many talented artists(especially) in jail and prison.
My son is 14 I named him Mustafa Ali Saddiq
I did not know whether to cry or laugh. The way he was treated almost turned him into a murder.
Ash Wolf Either you didn’t watch the video or you don’t have any empathy for others.
@Ash Wolf He sold drugs, a non violent crime. People get lost in life and sometimes don't figure it out until it's too late, Ali chose to better himself after his mistake, becoming religious and all. You must be an asshole(excuse my language) if you can't see that. It's appalling that you can't see how Mitchell is a tiny man abusing the little authority he has on a man minding his business, I hope neither you or anyone you know have to go through unjust humiliation like this just to get where he's coming from.
@Ash Wolf who chooses to be in prisons
Ama Jang to be fair, a squat and cough in front of a CO isn’t that uncommon in prison. Idk if you’ve ever been, but privacy isn’t a thing.
Chris D but to make a grown man get butt ass naked and squat/cough in a busy area is wrong bruh. Maybe he could’ve said alright if y’all gonna do all this can we at least go somewhere else, but that shit is fucked up man.
moral of the story stop dehumanizing prisoners.
I guess restorative justice means nothing to you, gomer. I guess you think being dehumanized and is the best way to reform people before letting them back into society?
Also, 'rape and murder all you want'? I guess you didn't even listen to the story. Ali was put in for a nonviolent crime, and the dehumanization was what almost turned him into a murderer. But hey, by your logic, treating people like people somewhat makes you a degenerate, so fuck facts anyway, yeah?
Ratri He did choose to name himself gomer...kind of lets you know he doesn’t even think himself to be all that wise.
Better yet...don't commit crime and be sent to prison.
iamdebster You can commit a crime and not go to prison. If that law limits you from following your highest excitement break that bitch!!
Thank you 🙏🏾
Lol you know he is funny when he has a whole room laughing at a premeditated murder of a cop 😂 😂 😂 and we are all listening like a movie 😂
I love his raw intensity, honesty, and comedic timing...
"I Was thinking about stabbing him uncontrollably"
Random weird guy In croud"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

A lot of odd laughing.
I laughed with them lol
Glad I wasnt at this particular strip club. This shit is too real to be funny...

A terrifying story artistically delivered.
Yeah, man, I love Ali Siddiq.
Man this was rivetting. Funny, yes. But also really sad that prison made a young non-violent guy ready to throw his whole life away just to get vengeance
My mother started talking to me at the end n I said “ Mother, hang on I need to know if Mitchel made it!” She looked at me like I was crazy. Half way through the story I wanted to take out Mitchel with him. Lol lol
Same same !
This story is more interesting than it is funny. It's well delivered, extremely clever, and avoids shock humor. Original and incredibly entertaining.
J Ribs I love the originality. I mean it hits all those universally human themes, but he never relies on any type of cultural references. Maybe its because his formative years were so away from that type of culture, but its so fucking pleasant to enjoy an amazing storyteller that doesn't need pop as a crutch. I'm so very happy Mitchell has to keep living his awful life, if that's the price of having Ali with us
AugReady im white and been locked up... i love this story and its topically funny to me, because its true.. not because im laughing at anything ignorant fuck
sarcastic bowl of cornflakes Damn you proved your point so succinctly I have to give you props. Him not realizing your calculus statement being a hypothetical example and continuing to get offended by it he unknowingly proved how ignorant his statement about white people was because both statements are virtually the same.
Well done.
AugReady...If we weren't supposed to laugh, why tell it at a comedy show, on a comedy program, on comedy central? If we asked Ali, do you really think he would say he doesn't want people to laugh? He's a comedian. This is what they do. They make light of the worst things in the world, nothing is off limits. He's an amazing storyteller and makes you feel compassion for him, but we are also supposed to laugh. That's why he is so good, he can blend both seamlessly. You are extremely close minded. You assume you know more about the life of an inmate than an actual inmate, just because you share the same race as Ali. Even though you're an engineer and mock people who have gone to prison ("degenerate"). Also, logically your argument with OP makes no sense. You misinterpreted the comment as criticism. Then go on to say that the story isn't supposed to be funny. OP said "the story is more interesting than funny," you also claim the story isn't supposed to be funny. So what the fuck are you arguing? You said he was downplaying his comedy. No, that's exactly what the fuck you're doing. You are basically saying that it's not comedy and that 60% of his audience doesn't understand it. You've shown a lot of terrible qualities in this short exchange of comments. Be unhappy somewhere else please, we are just trying to enjoy Ali's COMEDY.
AugReady god you’re so dense it’s painful.
He turned a really really dark story into a funny one
Dark is what's up
This is my favorite story in this series by far. I shared it with a dear friend who passed and she adored it and so when I watch it again I feel that connection. Anyway I know no one cares but this video is pure magic to me for multiple reasons.
We are sorry for your loss
He is the only guy close to Chappelle in the storytelling department.

BigNick66 Yeah he just made attempted murder funny
Jonathan Tinsley almost doesn't count in this case why because he did not do it, therefore your point is moot, you must have never done a bad thing in your life must be nice to live on that pedestal you live on.
Sylvia Gitau No I have, and your right its conspiracy to commit murder.
what world do you think that a judge wont care about a man planning to kill people lol.
he said he planned to kill someone he did the premeditated part of premeditated murder. pretty sure they guy can take him to court for that lol. like if they found plans on how to kill him in Ali's cell. they arent just going to do nothing because he didn't kill anybody.
When he said I had tears in my eyes he really looked like he had tears in his eyes
Although he was using it for comedic reference it sounds and felt like he was reliving that moment.
He was reliving every bit of that moment. Those were tears of rage. Every time he tells that story, the rage is let out to heal a little bit more.
@@heatheraimz1 I'd like to think that's a huge part of why comedy is so important.
I feel for you. I have been demoralized and dehumanized by law enforcement and incarceration staff many times myself. The fact that the audience is laughing is just sad. Trying to just do your time and keep your sanity and humanity is hard enough without having to deal with guards like this. I'm glad you made it out. Hold strong!
From a former CO I am so sorry you had to endure that. I apologize to you sincerely. I have almost gotten into fist fights with Mitchell’s in my time. I’m so happy your out and hopefully doing better.
@@scarlettjohnson4917 Thank you for your service.
He's a comedian telling the story on a comedy show
And a lot of the parts are told in a funny way
@@IsM1ku It seems to me that he doesn't find it very funny. He's not laughing or smiling while telling his story. His tone of voice isn't happy or amused. It appears to me that he is using one of the last bastions of free speech to address a personal injustice like a lot of stand-up entertainers have for years. Imagine you are the one that his story had happened to and it probably won't seem so funny. But that's just my perspective of things and it isn't necessarily correct.
Your perspective is just as valid. If you are fortunate enough to have never experienced being dehumanized in such a way you are lucky and I hope you never do have to experience it. Unfortunately I have, too many times, so I just don't find anything about it funny. I only think about not wanting myself or any other person to ever have to experience this kind of situation. When you go through this kind of thing, if it happens too many times or just one really traumatic time, whenever you hear about someone else's ordeal it makes you relive your own ordeal.
Preston, I think (hope) most of the laughter was what is referred to as nervous laughter from people who didnt know how else to react to this horrendous recollection of events.
The ɓest comedians are the ones who can tell stories about their life and mesmerize their audience while doing so. Patrice O'Neal, Doug Stanhope come to mind, but Ali has taken ito a new level.
I felt this one, the embarrassment, the hopelessness, tĥe rage.
Wishing nothing but the best for Ali in the future.
I love listening to Ali tell his stories. Love how he turned his life around. IT CAN BE DONE!!!
When you can actually picture every part of this in your head, you know you are in the presence of a Great Story Teller.
yea he dnt tell jokes he tells stories. and keeps u invested
You can see the tears in his eyes as he talking
I was starting to get pissed-off at the crowd. He kept looking at them like "wtf, that shit was ESPECIALLY not funny. You people are sick. So I watched it again looking at the crowd.
@@vapormissile nah he knows he's on comedy central
@@melsoro7311 exactly!
I saw that too. It's as if he was re- living the moment all over again.
He was.... don't know how he held back his tears.
This was intense and captivating. I didn’t laugh once but goddamn what a storyteller. This is one that’ll stick with you
He tells this horrible story in such a revealing, intelligent yet humorous way. He is so gifted.
Ali: "I'm Nat Turner."
Me: "Shit just got real."
@MEGATRON I did a short bio on him when I was in high school.
That went over their heads!!! Smh
There were others better than Nat turner. But the idea is there
They didn't know who he was. Shameful! 🤦🏾♀️
I apologize for all the white fucks who have no idea who Nat Turner is.
That story was so sad honestly. You know why prisons in countries like Switzerland are so much more effective? They treat their inmates like humans.
Jesus. Dont politicize this. switzerland has a lower population. Their prison system clearly wont reflect ours. This was a story about an antecdotal mans life not how every prison in america is. Theres no utopia just enjoy the comedy and get out your feelings. He turned it around yet here you are being depressive.
Not if their black
@@nathannorth4925 yeah, but we have the most incarcerated in the world with horrible outcomes. And although he's a comedian and it was funny, it really wasn't.
Without those two friends Mitchell would be dead, Ali would be in prison for the rest of his life, and two families would be grieving, something all too common here.
@@charleswatkins8695 slow down highspeed. No need to insult. I didnt insult anyone. So get your panties out the pretzel and realize nonviolent crimes cover a huge array of crimes. Its not disproportionate to anything. If you break a law and get caught a rule of law is inplace to stop it. Most people who get arrested again for "non violent crimes" will within the next 10 years be arrested for similar offenses. Black or white, hispanic or asian it doesnt matter. Explain why if its so disproportionate why if they messed up the one time do they recommit the same crime. Its not like the opportunity to succeed isnt the same for every person in america. Also prison systems have highschool ged programs. They offer college courses. They have work programs which help inmates develop societal skills to acclimate themselves. They also have psychologists who will meet with these people and work with them. So to say this place targets people with no help to rehabiliate them is a scapegoat to ignorance. Its so easy to blame someone instead of owning your own fuck ups. Try being an adult and do the right thing and shit wont roll down hill.
Right!!!!
I felt this. I felt it so bad. This man is so strong to tell his story like he did. Recalling those events is clearly super hard but he managed to tell it in a humorous manner. There’re a few lessons to be learned from this story. My main take away from this is to control your rage even in the hardest moments of your life and to defuse situations before things start to take the wrong turn.
I just saw Ali live at the Brea Improv a few weeks ago. It was the best experience I've ever had at a comedy club.
He's an amazing storyteller, right up there with Charlie Murphy and Joey Diaz.
If u really finna kill someone, go find cici. He got a knife.
Not unless cici sold your knife 😟
Mexicans wearing boots lol
Lol
what kind of knife u get??? hahaha
I need a knife that I can poke multiple people
This is hilarious... but tragic, the prison system literally turned him into a killer for a part of his life... wow
Indeed.. take it a step further, or back for that matter. What turned him into a drug dealer?
Prison doesn’t turn anyone into anything. Prison provides an environment of permission for the worst types expressions of human pain and suffering.
The people inside the prison, who exist inside that permission, use it to survive. And they turn people into murderers.
@@Evanescoduil the world provides that same permission. No prison does because it's based on laws and rules that aren't upheld by any fair statute nor on a consistent basis thus promoting and providing only division classiest racism pain and suffering.
DJ Illinois that’s the design...recidivism. You’re meant to keep fucking up so you have to stay. You’re worth thousands more in prison than out. And yes, it’s pure bullshit and beyond tragic.
@@kingofgrooveness Racism?
I'm so glad those guys saved him from doing anything!! His stories touch people
What i Love about this is none of it is a joke 🤣
Some people are sadistic and when they get a lil power they go all out. He almost turned a person who was meant to be going through rehabilitation into a dangerous person with no hope of ever coming back into society to be a productive citizen. Shame on Mitchell.
@Ash Wolf yes it was Mitchell's own decision. It would have been simple justice.
Shame on America. We could be better. This man should tell this story to every high school kid in the 'burbs, maybe they'll learn then.
It's plenty of people in the system that's treated like that. The sad thing is that they don't get the same empathy and you'll never hear they story
Mitchell was a dirty MF. He wasnt trying to do his job,he just wanted to humiliate him. I'm so happy Ali is here to tell us his story
He is one of the best story tellers I have ever heard. This is honestly one of my favorite stand-up sketches ever. There are so many dimensions to it and so engaging. I hope that he continues to have an amazing career
Every couple months I watch this
Who else was hoping Mitchell was gonna get stabbed ?
I did, I knew he didn't because he's been out for a while now. But I hoped Mustafa stabbed Mitchell.
BigNick66 me too just because I knew that Ali didn't doi it because he is here to tell the story XD
Green T I thought Mustafo was goibg to be the one to do it and be like. "Why you think I got 50 years."
Or one of his boys to at least stab the shit out of him.
Statutory Grape ...that may be the part of the story he didn't tell. some of the homeys might still be inside, real gangsters don't tell
That Nat Turner line went over so many heads... LOL... Ali is an awesome story teller.
Damn this hit me kind of differently like you could see in his face how real it is to him but funny to the crowd and I think he knows that
He decided while he was in prison he was going to become a comedian props to him he did it and well he's hysterical
I'm seeing some comments about the apparent irony in the story. Comments such as "I don’t understand why people are laughing."
The reason people are laughing is because it's funny. The reason people are crying is because it's sad, degrading and horrifying. One person can hold multiple emotions at once.
Don't limit yourself to one emotion at a time. You're a multidimensional human being. :)
Just a suggestion. You don't have to of course.
Sociopath
You're very right
@FaerieSensai idk, Ali chose to share the story after all - with a humorous delivery. His tear shows that it still fucks him up to go back there in his head but still he chooses to share the story. I personally think he reaches those who can't relate by making them laugh. If he preached to them making them feel just bad for something they didn't do, many won't think about it. If he makes them laugh and then realize, shit the man went through something horrible, why am i even laughing, that's when people think and start to see
@FaerieSensai calm down a bit. Comedy comes from pain...tgis is fact. He told his PAINFUL story in comedic form in a comedic FORUM. He is a comic. He gets paid to peddle his pain. That was. His choice.
@FaerieSensai Look dude, yeah, it's a fucking sad story, that's fact, the thing is the moment you tell any history in a humorous way it's funny, people laugh at things they shouldn't you can see it anywhere, the inappropriate jokes with a good deliver are the most laughed about, Ali decided to tell the story as a comedy, that's his story to tell in whatever fucking way he wants, his goal was to make people laugh If it wasn't he wouldn't have told it in a stand up, you didn't find it funny? Cool and that's it, guilty tripping everyone who did is not going to make the fact that they laughed and found it funny disappear
“You have a good day Mitchell”
Ali:👁👁👀👁👁
And Mitchell really stared back all terrified like 👀👄👀
That story was epic like a movie. I was watching it in my head as he spoke
