      @@streetimpactrecords8049 hell yeah. I lived in south central for a few years as a kid before I moved to the bay area. This was '82-'85. Craziest shit I saw other than the batterram was seeing someone high off pcp jump out of the second story of a skeleton house(house with just the frame), and he landed on the ground and got up like nothing happened. He thought he was superman lol. Crazy thing about pcp is it gives people super human strength.

      I don’t think Dresta is all for interviews. Would be dope to see and may happen one day but they said in their joint interview that Dresta is hard to catch. You gotta catch him at the right moment for things like this. Would be incredible to see though. I feel as though guys like this have so much history and stories, why not share - what they can - with the world.

    Those no-knock warrants are crazy. The potential risk just ain’t worth it, especially when they have the wrong person and house. Surely it would be easier to surveil someone and pick them up when they’re by themselves etc?

    Yeah but later on in life you can fight it because the problem is a lot of lawyers will be like just plead out but the problem is that most of the time they are court-appointed lawyers

    In American courts do they read out previous convictions before you are found guilty? To plant a seed in people's minds and let jurors know your past.
