Im the Daughter of an Hells Angel. Now that im grown. I realized He was just simply more dedicated to them,than he was us. We were around things as kids NO human should ever have to witness.
I completely know. Fully well. I was raised around them as my mom's dad did work for them but he wouldn't join them. My mom, uncle and my other cousins and myself and my brother when we got old enough we all seen and went through things nobody ever should. Then I got in a 3 1/2 year relationship with a POS who never joined the HA but he was raised by them and did work for them as he was the most abusive POS and I thank the Lord I got away from him and my family. After my mom died my cousins tried to murder me 4 times and I left and never went back. That was 7 years ago and I have NEVER spoken to them and plan to never ever go back. I've never been happier since uprooting myself from those scum bags and making a new life for myself. And I did. I was homeless for years. Now I'm going to college full time for nursing and business. My cousins are still popping out babies left and right for their mom to raise while they still do drugs, drink and pimp themselves out for the gang. I pray for their kids and my brother who is still stuck at that house in that life.
I was raised around them, we were very poor, they bought us clothes, food, paid various bills like light and water every month. I’m very thankful we had them in our lives, never witnessed anything bad.

The guy who used to be Paco....man, he is doing great things! I love how his daughter's power of influence helped motivate him to rely on the Lord to change his life!! Him being a pastor who used to be in a gang and lived the life style, has put him ina unique position to reach people who most church leaders csnt reach; because others cant truly say, " i know how it feels", "i know, i have been there." A lot of people living in a cycle of life cant believe someone that tells them "the Lord can forgive you, if u repent and get baptized", if they havent lived that way before. Thank you for this video. Young people need to see this!
I’m not Christian BUT I’ve always trusted those kinds of pastors more. Former convicts, women, non-white, lesbian/gay, etc pastors have a stronger ability to convince me god may be real because through tough times, through ostracism, they found safety in religion. They don’t use the Bible to condemn others because they TRULY understand that’s Gods job to judge. Not theirs. (Obviously not generalizing, anyone can use the Bible to their own advantage) I’m proud of him. He seems to carry a lot of trauma when he speaks and if God and religion helps him come to terms with that, then I think it can only be a positive thing.
43:08 You realize, the guy was the leader of one of the most violent organizations in the USA. He has fought, probably killed, and just holding his little girl in his arms makes tears roll down his cheeks in less than a quarter of a second.

@@chnkylvr6969 I sincerely agree, but also consider the number of children whose lives have been taken by these so-called "good family men" in the streets for these for this storys of territorie homie ?
This is a really interesting documentary. I’m used to seeing the much shorter videos with just 1 person talking, but this gives you a wide perspective to have all of these guys from different areas of the world of “gangs.” Great documentary, and really cool format that you got all of these guys and just let them talk, one-by-one.

The Yakuza and 2 chinese ones were really interesting. I had no idea they operated like that. Dude cut off his own finger cuz he felt bad about lying to his boss! Dude's got balls 😂
Gang culture is so pathetic that its literally sad. I have family members that use to be in the bloods. They fight over territory which they dont even own, aid in poisoning the community, and hurt one another. A lot withold great wasted potential as well.😔 I understand why they exist. I just wish things were different.
The reason is simple, the areas are so economically destroyed that theres almost no way to live another life, its be in a gang or be homeless. Remember that the DEA and CIA systematically destroyed these already poor areas very recently
Paco! Much respect for changing your life for your little girl! Respect for becoming a pastor 🙏 to extend your knowledge and your history out to the young ones. Amazing how you have changed things to help not just change other lives but to change to direction of lives before they saw too much blood on the streets, before they did a lot of time locked up 🙌 . I will pray 👏 for you and all those you are trying to help. You have 💯 %respect from me my man.
The Pastor is so right. It is men who need to make and support change in other men and let younger men know that perpetuating a world of hurt onto your family, your wife and your children is not the way. Men have to earn the trust of their girlfriends, future partners and her network. There are many good and even great men out in our world so it can be done, it is no big secret.
Men should earn the trust of their girlfriend family. That use to be a thing. The families would meet to get an understanding of the others family. That's when people respected families.
Let's remember there's other people raising these young men than men? Many times it's the women raising them while the daddies are out doing whatever. The Mamas aren't doing the best job and no they're not doing it all on their own either. Now I'm talking about anybody who gets into criminal activity and not just gangs. That's also remember that there are also females in gangs. Sure the man do need to get out there and show young men how to be better men. There are men that are out there trying to make a difference unfortunately there are not enough because fools that have nothing to do with gangs prop up the lifestyle. That's the biggest problem is others outside of this problem making it cool. Young man listen to gangsta rap in the suburbs and given young criminals who literally kill people money. You know more power and more ego to never stop being part of the gang until they're dead.
Life was good for me in the 70's at Cerritos High School which was very diverse, Black, White, Hispanic, Asian...Instead of gangs fighting amongst each other we partied with Artesia and other High Schools...Life was good....Still have friends to this day
Dude was never dumb, he needed the correct outlet and a wake up call. Glad he didn't die in the process so he can tell his story and hopefully stop others from feeling the same pain.

My first strap was a raven arms. 25 😂 crome piece, I was 15 but mine had the wood grips instead of the pearl and im not even kidding I ordered the pearl grips for it online and they never showed up 😂 then I sold it and bought a Makarov 9mm, 😂 i still miss that piece 😢
All my cousins that joined a gang are dead and my aunt has to visit them at the cemetary just to tell them how their kids are doing and which kids are still alive. I dont get it
This is honestly so brave of all of these members. There are still active members in all these groups and coming on here to bring their experience to life is a different type of bravery.
His part of the defund the police progressive movement in Los Angeles and want to abolish prisons. 90% of Salvadorans voted for Bukele and are finally living in peace.
The common denominator is we all need community. All of us. We can't end violence with more hate and intolerance. Makes me wonder where these men would have ended up if they had a better chance at opportunities.
@invictusbp1prop143 People always find places willing to overlook convictions of felony charges. Kind of messed up to make light of other people's good intentions by acting like they had no other choice. The chose to be a part of change, so that people could see another life for themself.
IDK how y'all pulled this off, but you did that! You must've had a good budget to get all these guys to sit down with you and take all that time. This is an extremely comprehensive documentary only things not covered were the skinheads and Mexican mafia but I'm not sure those factions are lucrative enough to be featured anyway so you get a 10!
8:14 "For me, I loved the color blue and they wore blue." It's so sad to see that he had so much youth and innocence. He was so young that he was choosing gangs based on his favorite colors.
Same here in Dallas. I was a young buck but never joined a gang, I had my dad in my life. I did buy a MAC Elev'em with my Jack In The Box checks though lol. I had a classic Lincoln and wasn't nobody car jacking me without contest
@@JaysRandomnessChannel what year is your Lincoln? I never got involved either and same as you I was thinking about the future and stayed strapped land or carried multiple weapons. Won't catch me lacking
Seems like a really good reason to flip. If your gang banging homies think you're a rat your days are numbered anyway. Might as well safe your life and cooperate before they take you out.
Imagine being in a gang, dressing like other guys. Defending something u don't own. K!lling your opp and going to jail and fall in love with your homeboi ... Im ok working a 9-5 i live better off
In my experience living in a neighborhood with a lot of gang activity in North Portland, 2/3 of gang shooting victims are either random people who looked like the gang member or just a passer by getting shot. Only 1/3 of the time is the target person hit.
With all the respect I said LOL when I read North Portland. And I know it will I'm from Seattle and I did leave 10 years in East Los Angeles and the Bay area which take the cake in regards to organize gangs but no doubt Seattle and its surrounding areas or times more dangerous than North Portland for talking about actual gangs. I spent a lot of time in that area at the horse track as well. I just didn't notice.
Mr. White as I heard you I felt you! My ex was 8tray grew up running from monster to running with him. (RIP monster Cody) I went to school in Watts. Even went through house of Uhuru. My ex and I lived in Long Beach. Moved him out of LA but you couldn’t get LA out of him. Your telling the truth, I bet you even know my EX. Blessings
The first guy went from gangs, to becoming a cop, to his cop friends saying, “are you with them or us” he calls them racist and then goes to jail for robbery? Um… talk about a blind spot.
When Alex gets deported he assumed gang life was over and he was going to get a job in the tourism industry but instead he became a member of the Death Squad and ultimately had to deport himself from El Salvador aka fleeing the country 😂😂😂 Alex loco esea 😂
I’m very grateful I grew up in the sticks. The biggest beef we ever had was fistfights. Cities have always made me feel sick. Peaceful life sounds nearly impossible for some of these people.
It absolutely is. It's well known that the ATF have been involved in several gunrunning scandals. Priority One of any organization is to ensure it's own existence. The ATF creates crime so they can continue to "fight" crime, and make alot of money doing so. The FBI keeps databases of all seized child porn and sells and distributes it to the dark web just so they can shut it down later. The DEA sells drugs they confiscate on the streets to wrap up gangs. That's what your taxes pay for. Government sanctioned drug dealers.
These stories are valuable. Despite their differences, most gangs share similar core themes. The majority joined for protection, financial opportunity, and self-esteem. It's interesting that people also join hate groups for those same reasons. If we (society) really wanted to get rid of gangs, we would create opportunities in the communities where people are most at-risk for joining gangs. We're just not willing to spend money on community centers, education and social welfare. Too many people see that as "special treatment". I disagree, but I'm in the minority. My only criticism is of the MS13 guy. I wish he would have explained the argument for NOT deporting undocumented gang members. I have empathy for them and want to understand his point of view. Realistically though, every country I know of deports criminals who are non-citizens; we're no better or worse. Also, I don't understand why we should shoulder the social cost for the crimes, and then later the financial cost for the incarcerations, of people who aren't citizens? I'm not talking about regular people who happen to be undocumented, I mean the people he was describing to who come here as gang members, live here as gang members, and then get deported.
i knew a dude who’s brother was a ms-13 in high school. cortez, machete, guns, drugs, everything. we smoked and the whole time i just had this uncomfortable feeling. only time that’s happened and i could not be happier when we went back to school that day
Great commentary the gang culture has definitely destroyed all the los Angeles communities no matter what race period! Alot of lives have been lost 🙏🏽💔😥😔
My dad and uncle were Crips, my uncle went away for over 10 years. When my uncle went away my dad and him both left the gang and left Compton. My uncle met my aunt before he went to jail and had my cousin. My dad met my mom at college, had my brother and I. I never got to meet my uncle, only speak to him on the phone. Despite this, my family continued to keep him in our lives. I remember the prison he was in let us all visit for his birthday. I saw his face for the first time since I was a baby. They let us take pictures, I still have it to this day. My uncle got released recently, and I met him for the first time without glass and cuffs. I didn't know we would be seeing when we went to visit my Grandma and cousin, when we saw him my dad was so shocked he couldn't even move. That first day I don't think we left each other's company. We call and text and facetime every day now, I never thought I'd see the day I could have such easy and quick communication with him.
Honestly most gang members nowadays don’t really do that anymore it’s not like back in the days at all nowadays crips and bloods live on the same block and will beef with other neighboring gangs.
@@Datswild253 Facts - Here in Baltimore - Crips are all drug dealers and are about stacking money, Bloods are into everything, but the young ones are clowns, 1 out of 20 are cool. and the others rob, and start fights with everyone, trying to prove how tough the are.. just seems like the crips here carry themselves like business men, and bloods are like kids
@@Datswild253 Exactly. Back in those days Crips would never wear red and Bloods would never wear blue. Nowadays, you will see Crips in red and Bloods in blue.
Love the second guy, the pastor who made it his mission to seek out troubled men in the projects or detention centers etc to help them. “I don’t get cleaned up like I never been dirty.” I have my own spiritual beliefs but I’ll never forget a pastor who I felt connected to for the first time because he shared his story which I could relate to, the things he was ashamed of but spoke about anyway because he knew someone needed to hear that.
Haha mine too. 2 different ones. One had a pink grip with electric tape around the handle. Wait, that was the homies. Mine had a brown wooden grip. .22
Something i noticed a few weeks ago when withdrawing cash. The buzzing/whirring sound signifying a scene cut is the sound my ATM makes when dispersing cash from inside the ATM to the area behind a little metal cover which opens after the bills have been dropped lol! Actually the initial sound similar to a chainsaw briefly revving up twice is the only sound taken from somewhere else lol
There's a lot of TV shows that can show you how bad the gang life is, and most of these shows like Snowfall, SOA, The Sopranos, The Wire, even Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul, it shows you that there's only two ways to get out of this life once you're in, the prison or the death..

Former convicts, women, non-white, lesbian/gay, etc pastors have a stronger ability to convince me god may be real because through tough times, through ostracism, they found safety in religion. They don’t use the Bible to condemn others because they TRULY understand that’s Gods job to judge. Not theirs. (Obviously not generalizing, anyone can use the Bible to their own advantage) I’m proud of him. He seems to carry a lot of trauma when he speaks and if God and religion helps him come to terms with that, then I think it can only be a positive thing.
I was very impressed with the Asian with the hat. I know he's not lying because he explained everything in detail, this dude was a real one....

43:08 You realize, the guy was the leader of one of the most violent organizations in the USA. He has fought, probably killed, and just holding his little girl in his arms makes tears roll down his cheeks in less than a quarter of a second.

The reason is simple, the areas are so economically destroyed that theres almost no way to live another life, its be in a gang or be homeless. Remember that the DEA and CIA systematically destroyed these already poor areas very recently

Paco! Much respect for changing your life for your little girl! Respect for becoming a pastor 🙏 to extend your knowledge and your history out to the young ones. Amazing how you have changed things to help not just change other lives but to change to direction of lives before they saw too much blood on the streets, before they did a lot of time locked up 🙌 . I will pray 👏 for you and all those you are trying to help. You have 💯 %respect from me my man.
The Pastor is so right. It is men who need to make and support change in other men and let younger men know that perpetuating a world of hurt onto your family, your wife and your children is not the way. Men have to earn the trust of their girlfriends, future partners and her network. There are many good and even great men out in our world so it can be done, it is no big secret.
Sadly the great, kind, hardworking men are not glorified the way psychopaths, sociopaths and thugs are.
Men should earn the trust of their girlfriend family. That use to be a thing. The families would meet to get an understanding of the others family. That's when people respected families.
Just remember not all females are nice either
Let's remember there's other people raising these young men than men? Many times it's the women raising them while the daddies are out doing whatever. The Mamas aren't doing the best job and no they're not doing it all on their own either. Now I'm talking about anybody who gets into criminal activity and not just gangs. That's also remember that there are also females in gangs. Sure the man do need to get out there and show young men how to be better men. There are men that are out there trying to make a difference unfortunately there are not enough because fools that have nothing to do with gangs prop up the lifestyle. That's the biggest problem is others outside of this problem making it cool. Young man listen to gangsta rap in the suburbs and given young criminals who literally kill people money. You know more power and more ego to never stop being part of the gang until they're dead.

I find this footage very informative as well as interesting how many of them give back how some of them become public speakers Counselors & mentors
Don't be he only accurate on his neighborhood everything else is kinda speculation. And the crip name stuff is accurate
So many of them go into that line of work because they ruined their regular job opportunities with felony convictions and neck tattoos.
They never get a proper job but are employed by public money.
The common denominator is we all need community. All of us. We can't end violence with more hate and intolerance. Makes me wonder where these men would have ended up if they had a better chance at opportunities.
@invictusbp1prop143 People always find places willing to overlook convictions of felony charges. Kind of messed up to make light of other people's good intentions by acting like they had no other choice. The chose to be a part of change, so that people could see another life for themself.

Another great interview, salute!
In my experience living in a neighborhood with a lot of gang activity in North Portland, 2/3 of gang shooting victims are either random people who looked like the gang member or just a passer by getting shot. Only 1/3 of the time is the target person hit.
With all the respect I said LOL when I read North Portland. And I know it will I'm from Seattle and I did leave 10 years in East Los Angeles and the Bay area which take the cake in regards to organize gangs but no doubt Seattle and its surrounding areas or times more dangerous than North Portland for talking about actual gangs. I spent a lot of time in that area at the horse track as well. I just didn't notice.

The first guy went from gangs, to becoming a cop, to his cop friends saying, “are you with them or us” he calls them racist and then goes to jail for robbery? Um… talk about a blind spot.
When Alex gets deported he assumed gang life was over and he was going to get a job in the tourism industry but instead he became a member of the Death Squad and ultimately had to deport himself from El Salvador aka fleeing the country 😂😂😂

The ATF Hells Angel's gig sure sounds a lot like entrapment
It absolutely is. It's well known that the ATF have been involved in several gunrunning scandals.
Priority One of any organization is to ensure it's own existence. The ATF creates crime so they can continue to "fight" crime, and make alot of money doing so. The FBI keeps databases of all seized child porn and sells and distributes it to the dark web just so they can shut it down later. The DEA sells drugs they confiscate on the streets to wrap up gangs.
That's what your taxes pay for. Government sanctioned drug dealers.
Its how they do it.
The ATF is DESIGNED to frame people. Thats their business.
It is just like the FBl
That's how it goes... Every grip forces an initiation. That way, you asked for it. Stay loyal and it's all good. Ridiculous but it is what it is.
The first rule of gang life is you don’t talk about gang life on RUclips. 😂

These stories are valuable. Despite their differences, most gangs share similar core themes. The majority joined for protection, financial opportunity, and self-esteem. It's interesting that people also join hate groups for those same reasons. If we (society) really wanted to get rid of gangs, we would create opportunities in the communities where people are most at-risk for joining gangs. We're just not willing to spend money on community centers, education and social welfare. Too many people see that as "special treatment". I disagree, but I'm in the minority. My only criticism is of the MS13 guy. I wish he would have explained the argument for NOT deporting undocumented gang members. I have empathy for them and want to understand his point of view. Realistically though, every country I know of deports criminals who are non-citizens; we're no better or worse. Also, I don't understand why we should shoulder the social cost for the crimes, and then later the financial cost for the incarcerations, of people who aren't citizens? I'm not talking about regular people who happen to be undocumented, I mean the people he was describing to who come here as gang members, live here as gang members, and then get deported.
I agree with you completely 🙂
This hurt my soul 😢😢😢
Gang culture just mirrors what’s going on in the government internationally and nationally
Lol look at world history and warring countries and and they makes these gangs look like child’s play
The difference is they wear suits and keep it behind closed doors
Red blue bloods and crips, red and blue republican and democrat no difference at all
16:08 this reminds me of that scene in Straight Outta Compton where you see 2 gang members holding red and blue rags tied together
Wow, learned a lot

She was talking on the phone to her friend just loud enough for you to hear her actually referring to you🤷🏼. She was a ‘smart’ mother.
My dad and uncle were Crips, my uncle went away for over 10 years. When my uncle went away my dad and him both left the gang and left Compton. My uncle met my aunt before he went to jail and had my cousin. My dad met my mom at college, had my brother and I. I never got to meet my uncle, only speak to him on the phone. Despite this, my family continued to keep him in our lives. I remember the prison he was in let us all visit for his birthday. I saw his face for the first time since I was a baby. They let us take pictures, I still have it to this day. My uncle got released recently, and I met him for the first time without glass and cuffs. I didn't know we would be seeing when we went to visit my Grandma and cousin, when we saw him my dad was so shocked he couldn't even move. That first day I don't think we left each other's company. We call and text and facetime every day now, I never thought I'd see the day I could have such easy and quick communication with him.
