    There's always such a real element in his character on Mayans MC.. him and Coco... was just so real.. God Bless you Rocco!!! You're lowkey the best character left on Mayans and im glad they gave you your own story. There's something very real and important about your character. It touches the viewers because we all have a friend, family member or acquaintance that reminds us of Rocco.. love ya big dawg keep fighting the good fight brother

I could give 2 sh!ts for folks that 'claim' to suffer when our brothers and sisters truly did suffer for ALL of us.
