Holy Crap! Bobby has certainly changed my views on people involved in gang activity. He definitely isn’t the stereotypical thug that’s portrayed in the media, movies, books, etc. This was an eye opener for me. Thank you, Mark and Bobby for such an in depth interview.
He's older now. In his youth he would most likely be judging you on how he can exploit you. Many gang members who see an older age stop looking at everyone as a potential target.
@T McKenny thank you Sir for your comment Only there is a lot of lowlifes who loose there integrity as a gangbanger And they go after who they consider weak or an easy target they give us a real bad look Especially the colored crips and bloods are low as shit ... good day to you sir
90% of gang members are teenagers from broken homes he is an enviornmental gang member meaning the cutlture of gangs in his area pushed him towards it. Silver spoon gangsters are common in Los Angeles
If you are a member of a gang and not stupid, than the first thing you realize is: gangster always talk about honor because they have to compensate for the fact, that they have zero and know this subconsciously. This is true for the world beyond the gang: There is simply no honor in making a living by destroying other peoples life. Since there is no crime without a victim. And this is even more true inside a gang. Ganglife is all about the money. And the talk about "loyalty" and "family" is there to prevent you from realizing that a gang is the most capitalist thing in existence: very view on the top get rich, 99% get played and die young and poor. And why is it that easy to play these guys? Because they never had a real family and therefore hunger for a feeling of belonging and also cant know, that a family wont use them. So why should you stay loyal to a business, that is evil in itself and unjust towards you? Listen when he is asked how many time he spent with his kids....
@@deefunk3067 I meant present tense. Since he has been out his loyalty is 100% to his gang lifestyle. But I agree, the shu made him what he is. There is no retirement plan when you have served your time.
11 years in isolation and he is still so well spoken all things considered. It’s rare to find someone in the life that is still so mentally sharp and self aware. Makes you wonder why he never snapped out of it since he clearly is intelligent.
Individuals that tend to do a lot of time in the shu do A LOT of reading and take their intelligence seriously. Most “high power” prison gang members are all very well spoken and take pride in it.
He wouldn't have made it this far if he wasn't intelligent... circumstances& choices for whatever reasons at the time set them on that path...often the love of power or the feeling of control..
Recall that Bobby said the only way to 'snap out of it' is in a box. . . . blood in blood out. He mentioned he was active. His peers are watching and critiquing him.
I see a lot of compliments for this guy in the comments. I see a guy who loves himself and a "lifestyle" more than his children. Not any person to be complimented or respected.
@@EsotericOccultist Most children are. You seem to be putting forth that possibility as a justification for being a BIG “shit” of a parent. If you are, then we just operate from vastly different world views. Have a good day, sir.
@@jamesgilbert91 Awesome. Let’s tell his daughter that. “Hey, your dad was never there for you, but at least he’s self aware and honest.” I’m sure that will make her feel all warm and fuzzy inside like it does a great number of those who have commented on this video.
@@tallentstravels5727 if you listened to his story, he chose the lifestyle at 15 and went away for a long time. What 15 year old dosent make mistakes? Then at 32 he he was thrown back into society with 17 years of prison and gang involvement as his resume. I'd like to see how you would fair in society at that point. I'm sure he would love to have been there for his daughter all those years but he was locked up and the key was thrown away for choices made as an adolescent.
I grew up in Pomona. On Laurel and Huntington. Very heavy cherries out there. I was kinda young I’m unsure but, Bobby. If you are Loco their was a house on that corner. My cousin came out from LA to live with us. You visited our house multiple times but you had a large amount of respect for my pops. Some dude threw up the CV at my pops and my dad pointed him out on the block and you checked him cause obvious my pops wasn’t affiliated. You were always respectful man. If this is the same Loco from my memory. Man it’s good to see you on this channel. Regardless of the violent and criminal life you chose you always had respect for those that weren’t affiliated and we actually felt like you were the blocks body guard. Lmao. Thanks for the respect you showed my family man.
This is the reason I moved away from my hometown. My cousin was the same, has a loving and supportive family. He was a star athlete but still chose to join a gang. When he decided to get out shit got real bad, and since we lived in a duplex with them, we witnessed everything...drive by shootings, setting cars on fire, tagging our cars, and my dad almost getting shot. I have those memories engrained in mind and I hated him for it. I hated how selfish he was for choosing the thug life over his family. It shaped who I am today but I wish I never experienced it.
I've seen hundreds of these interviews. Bobby's continues to be one of my favorites. This man is so articulate, so intelligent, so wise, and, in his own way, so kind. I show my sociology students a handful of these interviews every year (obviously well-vetted.) Bobby's is a favorite every year. Bobby, if you read this, please know you are reaching out to hundreds of kids a thousand miles away who use your wisdom and experiences to make better life choices.
An adrenaline chaser who literally blew me away with his mannerisms and intelligence. This guy could be so successful in life outside of gangs if he ever chooses.
Define “successful”. He probably won’t be able to earn as much money legally as he makes now illegally. He probably won’t do well in a 9-5 job. He can start a business but what type of a business will give him success?
@@witchcraftwilliam7879 You make a good point. However, accomplishing goals is very difficult. Many if not most entrepreneurs fail. So, it's a bit more than persistence. Say you want to start a business. You need to invest money into it, and, if you are like most people, you will need to borrow from people. There is a risk of 100% loss of that money, and you are back at square one.
@@witchcraftwilliam7879 1 time I got 200 to film a low budget adult film and I got my camera lenses and camera and face coverd in pooooooooooooooooooooooooo the female start ended up having a full stomach on the anal scene
You got his lIfe set for him as successful because of this edited video,from your opinion of this one person, because of his speech and " intelligence"? Let's watch your life video edited to one hour.
This interview is definitely a good one. His open & truthful demeanor shows and it’s appreciated. His acceptance of his life choices is respected. I pray for the best for him & a peaceful life.
Well, this is a rarity! This intelligent, personable, articulate and fluent man from a positive, loving and supportive home actually chose the gang life, with his eyes wide open! I find myself respecting that he's honest and especially that he accepts full personal responsibility for his actions. I really feel for his parents, out nightly, desperately trying to locate and save their beloved son, but knowing that they'd forever lost him to the gang, and even worse it is by his own choice!
The rarity of being from a supportive home I agree with but gang members being personable Intelligent and fluent a rarity? Definitely not. A lot of extremely intelligent, personable, and fluent people end up in the street life it's not a rarity at all.
I have brother who’s been in prison since August 1989. Thirty four straight years in solitary confinement for being gang related. I don’t know how he’s survived. We’ve asked him to leave that gang so he can come into GP, but he won’t give up his loyalty. He’s strong in his choice to live that gang lifestyle. He’s proud and very intelligent. Old school gang members all share these same values.
Mark I have had a personal obsession with these cholo videos, I’ve watched all of spooky and Johnny’s videos over 5 times each. Thank you so much for letting people learn more about this group of individuals. Please please please continue . These videos are so entertaining.
He is so bright and well spoken. Honest. I’d love to see him succeed and carry a message of another way to the youth of his community. Carry on, Bobby.
Yes it was an interesting interview and yes he talks about taking responsibility for his actions but you guys gotta keep in mind what he CHOSE to do to people and destroy and steal and harm “just for fun”. He’s not this awe inspiring man everyone’s saying. He’s just well spoken and honest.
I feel like he's a bit of a manipulator. He makes it sound even noble, "I did it for the right reasons" and also talks about what he put his (decent) parents through and bringing home loaded guns with younger brothers. I feel like he has well honed communication skills and a good mask.
What an interesting interview. So surprising to me that this man, an active gang member and criminal is so personable, likeable and articulate. I'm from the UK so know nothing about American gangs, I just had the same stereotypical impression of unintelligent, vicious thugs that many people have. This really opened my eyes and gave me a window into a culture that I would not have thought had any depth beyond violence and criminality. Thank you Mark and Bobby.
Most of the higher Mexican Mafia guys speak really well. Very articulate. RUclips Rene "Boxer" Enriquez, he became a snitch but speaks very articulately
They get into it because it's exciting and they are too young to know better. But it gets real when they realize they can't leave under most circumstances. The fact that this guy glorifies this life at his age shows he isn't as bright as he makes himself out to be.
Yeah shit ain’t what it use to be. Now they stand up for nothing and fall for everything. Glad you’re still alive bro. Seem like a genuine guy. Hope you and your daughter can have a great relationship. Every girl needs her father. 👍🏼 Dude straight spittin facts. Respect and Loyalty
Thanks for the interview Mark. Bobby is a very likeable but mysterious guy. I can't imagine what it takes to spend 11 years in isolation. Not at all. The way he talks so nonchalantly about it... Looks can be so deceiving. Maybe it's the way he's wearing his hat, backwards with his ears sticking out . He looks so young and nice. Your black and white portrait was quite a contrast. Wow. Two different people. I just wonder what age a person can retire from the gang? Why couldn't he just retire and go on to give talks to 'at risk' youth. Tell them what isolation for 11 years feels like. And how you'll never be the same after that. He is such a personable guy, he could make a big difference with young people.
This guy speaks so well 👏. If he got out of the game he can definitely be a role model to the younger generation. I wish him nothing but the best. Great interview 👍 👏.
This is one of the most interesting men I've ever seen speak. The level of honor and integrity is amazing and he just sees gang life as his chosen career. Fascinating.
To me, he is both admirable and terrifying. It's amazing how well spoken he is and how honest is about his life choices. But it's terrifying because you know because of his philosophy and choices that if you were between him and what he wanted....he would not hesitate to kill you.
This individual is 100% satisfied with his choices in life. He won't do anything differently. He's terrifying because he knows without a doubt that the gang bang lifestyle is his only path he'll ever take, and he'll do anything to anyone if it means staying on that path. The majority of his life has been spent in prison, so he knows no different.
I get it, because it was back in the day when alot of our friends still had their parents. They were still drawn to the hood. I wish his kids were first and the gangs left behind. He's done his time. I hope the seasons change for him. He'd benefit from giving his kids his all. It would change his life.
My father died in prison cuz he never got his shit together!! My mom used to always say The criminal mind!! These men are intelligent but unfortunately use it for evil! I’m not impressed with him one bit! It’s so Sad 😞
His words ... "glorified lifestyle, the respect, I'm proud of it." I see nothing but criminality that is so destructive and the cost to our society immeasurable.
My utmost respect to Homeboy. I completely understand him. I, myself, am associated with a street gang, however since I am 58 years I don't have to participate, one could say I am retired/hung up the gloves. I am an only child. My Mom(R.I.P) busted her butt so I could go to private Catholic schooling from 1st grade all the way to 12th grade. Yet, I chose my road as well. So I definitely understand Homeboy. Our chosen lifestyle is bad enough, I can't fathom getting into the organization he is with. Once again my respect and admiration to you. Gato1 WS~LMLS13

Man this is one heck of a guy and his honesty and openness. He tells it like it is and what it used to be like. I never gangbang but my brother did and other family members did and I have lots of respect for them. They never brought it out us and there was loyalty back then. Not these days like I see. I can only hope that Bobby makes it to his elderly age, but he knows the reality of gang life. This video was one of the best ones involving a gang member. Truly an award winner for sure. Thank you Mark.
What a fascinating interview. Such a juxtaposition for a very insightful likable person. Bobby, I appreciate your sharing your life. I wish for you all the very best… for me, that would be your leaving the gang for good. You have much to offer. Mark, you are the best
None of that, either. It's not recent, we are both in our 50s now and he's left the gang life years ago. He was lucky to get out unscathed but we did leave the States and have lived abroad ever since.

Great interview. He's the kind of guy you can be cool with and hang out but never take his kindness for weakness. I have friends like that and those guys are the most respectful loyal friends I have
This was a great interview! Please do more of him. I know he’s got a lot of stories to tell. I love how well spoken and respectful he is. Definitely not many real gangsters like him left out here. It is all about loyalty and respect something these damn youngsters now in days lack.
Yes, great interview. Yes, a very honest intelligent likable man. But why is the comment section full of people being inspired and saying he's great. Still a criminal, still damaging other's lives. There's a reason they go to prison. You can glamorize cool criminals in fiction. Not in real.
Exactly, thank you! I appreciate the honest interview as well. However there’s Way too many People fawning over this guy just because he speaks properly and doesn’t come off thuggish . Meanwhile he’s spent the majority of his life incarcerated at the max level. One can only imagine the acts he’s committed , and the victims of those acts…. Yet he’s proud to still be out there banging. People are so easily manipulated smh
Bobby is so incredibly well spoken and shares so much raw knowledge. If he were the leader of the ones gathering territory, expanding and recruiting, imagine what could be done in and for the positive aspect of living? Good luck to you Bobby
His honesty is so beautiful ! His manners and intelligence blew me away. All though he chose this life, it seems he’s content with it and that’s rare. Wishing him the best of luck!
Bobby is open and honest to talk about his life in a gang. So sad that he chose that lifestyle being he had a mom and dad who obviously loved him. It breaks my heart to know he’s still active, doesn’t have his kids in his life. My heart goes out to him though! For some reason, I guess because he’s so open about his life. So many young Mexican Americans get in the gang lifestyle in California. I just wish there were more options to stop this gang mentality as being something right & seem to be the answer for so many young men and women. He’s smart, his life could’ve been so much more! I wish him the best and thank him for doing this interview and talking so freely about his life and the gangs. Thank you again Mark for bringing us these interviews!
He is OBJECTING and helping you and your family to avoid the tyranny which is already befalling you.Becky everybody has already agreed that this man is very intelligent not to mention his street cred. He is not a sheeple who blindly does as he is told. When you say "gang mentality" do you mean people gathering together under one opinion which may be against that of the fake news? When you say GANG mentality do you mean "we the people"?

I could listen to this man's insight for hours. He had obviously truly thought about his life and life as a gang banger... and he's right, people are interested in his story. How he related it to the tribes from the past made a lot of sense. I hope he lives a fulfilled life and stays safe.
listening to him talk, I really think he could have succeeded at anything he chose to pursue. Its not too late to be a leader in life. I really hope he changes his ways and participates in society in a positive way.
Just can,t imagine this young man as a " mean gangsta" ... he could be giving a lecture at a college on career opportunities or life choices.. He seems happy with his life despite so many wasted years behind bars... hope he makes it to retirement!!
@@vonderloo3184 I kind of lean towards that as well. No accountability for the grief and suffering his actions has brought. Hope this "gang memba" will learn how to live his grand words of how to be a man....All the best to him and his kids, happy holidays 🙂
That homie right there is from CHERRY VILLE LOCOTES!! How do I know.. im from pomona myself and my whole family is from CVP CHS!! His stomach tattoo says "LOCOTES" I Just forgot what they call him.. He knows my cousins Swifty, Popeye, Spooks, and Trigger.. Thats the Homie SUSPECT!!!
I'm from Monterrey, Mexico, a country right in the border with USA, and many years ago when I was young I used to work in a call center where I met a lot of mexicans who were gang members from California who get deported or for some reason came back to Monterrey and they where a lot of them because they know english so thats what they were looking for in that kind of jobs to basically take calls in english for customer service and sales and that stuff, you know, USA corps usually locate their call centers in Mexico or India because we can speak english but they pay us way less than if we were in USA. So, coming back to the point, a lot of this guys were exactly like Bobby and I hanged out with them, and something I can tell is loyalty is true for them, even though I had nothing to do with gangs or their life style, just for the simple reason that I treated them well, they always had my back and made me feel as I was a part of them, they called me hommie, and most of them were very respectful and loyal and never forced me to do something I didn't wanted to just to be part of the gang, they accepted me as a friend knowing I don't want to have anything to do with gangs except smoking weed and they were fine with it and I get that loyalty part. I'm 40 now, that was when I was like 23, and a few years ago when I was like 35 I moved to a hood that was kind of ghetto because the rent was cheap, so anyways, I made friends with this neighbours who are youngsters from gangs and that life style, but oh boy, what a mistake, this young gangsters are nothing like the old ones I knew, they know nothing about loyalty or honor or respect, so short story, I had to move from there inmediately and never made the same mistake again. Sadly Bobby is right, loyalty is something that is getting lost from this life style, and I can dare to say, in the whole society nowadays.
I think the most interesting part (and the entire interview was seriously interesting) was hearing him talk about respect for officers for doing their job. That was something I honestly didn't expect to hear.
18:55 What Bobby said reminded me of what Tony Soprano also said "We're soldiers. Soldiers don't go to hell. It's war. Soldiers kill other soldiers. We're in a situation where everyone involved knows the stakes and if you are going to accept those stakes, you've got to do certain things. It's business."
All I see is a waste of precious insight and opportunity. Given many opportunities to become a productive member of society but chooses to do damage instead. This choice of lifestyle isn't impressive. Glorification of these behaviors and choices.... is gross. I have no doubt you would take down people's loved ones for your own benefit. I'm sure your mother is heartbroken by your behavior.... ugh
@@Rickswars He didn't have to sit down and give this interview. What does he gain? Attention? Admiration? Censure? Defamation? Notoriety? Explain that, please. How does this man benefit from sharing his experiences with such a small group of individuals?
Been in prison and know many gang members and it's very rare that you see a guy who had a good family and wanted to bang! Kudos for this man's transparency. Best of luck to Bobby.
Hi Mark, I haven't visited your channel in a while and only got back today only to see you're still going strong with the interviews and setting up your own subscription channel. It doesn't need to be said how selfless you are but I hope you're taking some time to recharge and get a breather every now and again - we can only speculate how much goes into it all. Take care!
Bobby was truly an amazing person to have that respect not only to his parents and his gang but to everyone it really came from his heart when he spoke about loyalty be safe out there.God be with you.
Amazing? Far from it. He is a cold hearted murder. Come on, be real. He chose a path that will lead to only one thing … destruction. He has no idea what respect even is.
Wow! Very articulate and well spoken! Imagine that he did 11 years in isolation. Such a waste that this man chose to become a gang member. If he had stayed legal he would no doubt have been very successful.
WOW!! This gentleman is well spoken, has great mannerisms, a good family, knows what he signed up for... he's big on Loyalty and Respect.... very few can present themselves this good! Although he chose that life, his parents raised him well 👏👏👏! THANKS BOBBY FOR THIS GREAT INTERVIEW, interesting words- hope you stay educating these frkn kids that just want to prove a point, unnecessarily! Saludos from city of West Covina
Textbook example of what Corrections Officers know all to well, "Con Games" or "Inmate Manipulation Games." This guy speaks very well, almost enough to let your guard down. Do some research on this topic. COs are taught to recognize this and defend against it.
Outstanding. Thank you for this insight. Bobby Don't admire your life style but much respect to you and how you are well verse and charismatic and above all HONEST. Godspeed.
Well, the one thing l learned about “Loyalty” when I was a Gang Member and also while doing Time in Prison is that THERE IS NO LOYALTY IN GANGS OR IN PRISON!!! That is why I left the Gang. The only successful Gang Member is a FORMER Gang Member.
i long time ago i CHOSE not to be a criminal. I was about 20 at the time. "My thinking was, the world is already messed up... why add someone intelligent and confident like me to the criminal underground... so i actually chose to be a good person and make the best of it" glad i did.
i love the honesty. He holds himself accountable for all his choices. HE CHOSE THAT LIFE.

"What's the most important thing you've learned in your life"."Loyalty". Nailed it. Keep making a difference Mark. Thx for the content.
If you are a member of a gang and not stupid, than the first thing you realize is: gangster always talk about honor because they have to compensate for the fact, that they have zero and know this subconsciously.
This is true for the world beyond the gang: There is simply no honor in making a living by destroying other peoples life. Since there is no crime without a victim.
And this is even more true inside a gang.
Ganglife is all about the money.
And the talk about "loyalty" and "family" is there to prevent you from realizing that a gang is the most capitalist thing in existence: very view on the top get rich, 99% get played and die young and poor.
And why is it that easy to play these guys? Because they never had a real family and therefore hunger for a feeling of belonging and also cant know, that a family wont use them.
So why should you stay loyal to a business, that is evil in itself and unjust towards you?

11 years in isolation and he is still so well spoken all things considered. It’s rare to find someone in the life that is still so mentally sharp and self aware. Makes you wonder why he never snapped out of it since he clearly is intelligent.
Individuals that tend to do a lot of time in the shu do A LOT of reading and take their intelligence seriously. Most “high power” prison gang members are all very well spoken and take pride in it.
Wow cuz u can't be intelligent AND a criminal or anything 🙄🙄🙄🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
He wouldn't have made it this far if he wasn't intelligent... circumstances& choices for whatever reasons at the time set them on that path...often the love of power or the feeling of control..
Recall that Bobby said the only way to 'snap out of it' is in a box. . . . blood in blood out. He mentioned he was active. His peers are watching and critiquing him.
they have other inmates around them they aren't in total isolation.
I see a lot of compliments for this guy in the comments. I see a guy who loves himself and a "lifestyle" more than his children. Not any person to be complimented or respected.
Maybe his children are annoying little shits🤷♂️
@@EsotericOccultist Most children are. You seem to be putting forth that possibility as a justification for being a BIG “shit” of a parent. If you are, then we just operate from vastly different world views. Have a good day, sir.
Yes, but he admits he's a bad person; he's more self aware than most people & hes honest. Could be worse
@@jamesgilbert91 Awesome. Let’s tell his daughter that. “Hey, your dad was never there for you, but at least he’s self aware and honest.” I’m sure that will make her feel all warm and fuzzy inside like it does a great number of those who have commented on this video.
@@tallentstravels5727 if you listened to his story, he chose the lifestyle at 15 and went away for a long time. What 15 year old dosent make mistakes? Then at 32 he he was thrown back into society with 17 years of prison and gang involvement as his resume. I'd like to see how you would fair in society at that point. I'm sure he would love to have been there for his daughter all those years but he was locked up and the key was thrown away for choices made as an adolescent.
I grew up in Pomona. On Laurel and Huntington. Very heavy cherries out there. I was kinda young I’m unsure but, Bobby. If you are Loco their was a house on that corner. My cousin came out from LA to live with us. You visited our house multiple times but you had a large amount of respect for my pops. Some dude threw up the CV at my pops and my dad pointed him out on the block and you checked him cause obvious my pops wasn’t affiliated. You were always respectful man. If this is the same Loco from my memory. Man it’s good to see you on this channel. Regardless of the violent and criminal life you chose you always had respect for those that weren’t affiliated and we actually felt like you were the blocks body guard. Lmao. Thanks for the respect you showed my family man.
This is the reason I moved away from my hometown. My cousin was the same, has a loving and supportive family. He was a star athlete but still chose to join a gang.
When he decided to get out shit got real bad, and since we lived in a duplex with them, we witnessed everything...drive by shootings, setting cars on fire, tagging our cars, and my dad almost getting shot.
I have those memories engrained in mind and I hated him for it. I hated how selfish he was for choosing the thug life over his family. It shaped who I am today but I wish I never experienced it.
What happened to him
@@Mr-Raoui let's just guess that he's dead
I've seen hundreds of these interviews. Bobby's continues to be one of my favorites. This man is so articulate, so intelligent, so wise, and, in his own way, so kind. I show my sociology students a handful of these interviews every year (obviously well-vetted.) Bobby's is a favorite every year.
Bobby, if you read this, please know you are reaching out to hundreds of kids a thousand miles away who use your wisdom and experiences to make better life choices.
I really feel for his family. This has to be difficult for them. They did everything right.
Says the person who don’t know them...
@@joshchung2178 he said so himself
I bet his kids have better grades than yours! And bet his kids say " yes ma'am , no ma'am " and " yes sir and no sir ". You judge an he doesn't .

True.. Just goes to show you. At the end of the day. Every individual is going to do whatever the hell they want to.
An adrenaline chaser who literally blew me away with his mannerisms and intelligence. This guy could be so successful in life outside of gangs if he ever chooses.
Define “successful”. He probably won’t be able to earn as much money legally as he makes now illegally. He probably won’t do well in a 9-5 job. He can start a business but what type of a business will give him success?
@@МыколаНетребко success means. U set a goal and accomplish it. Can be from a Manger at McDonald's to a CEO of a 500 company
@@witchcraftwilliam7879 You make a good point. However, accomplishing goals is very difficult. Many if not most entrepreneurs fail. So, it's a bit more than persistence. Say you want to start a business. You need to invest money into it, and, if you are like most people, you will need to borrow from people. There is a risk of 100% loss of that money, and you are back at square one.
@@witchcraftwilliam7879 1 time I got 200 to film a low budget adult film and I got my camera lenses and camera and face coverd in pooooooooooooooooooooooooo the female start ended up having a full stomach on the anal scene
You got his lIfe set for him as successful because of this edited video,from your opinion of this one person, because of his speech and " intelligence"? Let's watch your life video edited to one hour.
I love it when you get someone of high intelligence who's self aware who just chooses the bad path just because they want to. Chaos reigns
This interview is definitely a good one. His open & truthful demeanor shows and it’s appreciated. His acceptance of his life choices is respected. I pray for the best for him & a peaceful life.
Great interview Mark, this well spoken intelligent man is sweet and terrifying at the same time.
Such a well spoken young man, very honest & insightful. Not what most people would expect to hear out of an active gm...
Mark , great interview! I could listen to Bobby talk for a long time! He is a very intelligent man! Love your channel.
The definition of being real and having respect .. I wish this dude all the very best in life . One of the best interviews I’ve seen to date .
..coming from a family who's been members from the beginning and knowing how it was and what it is now I 💯 agree ⬆️

This man is so insightful and wise. I appreciated this interview more than any other I’ve heard so far. Thank you for your story Bobby!
Well, this is a rarity!
This intelligent, personable, articulate and fluent man from a positive, loving and supportive home actually chose the gang life, with his eyes wide open!
I find myself respecting that he's honest and especially that he accepts full personal responsibility for his actions.
I really feel for his parents, out nightly, desperately trying to locate and save their beloved son, but knowing that they'd forever lost him to the gang, and even worse it is by his own choice!
The rarity of being from a supportive home I agree with but gang members being personable Intelligent and fluent a rarity? Definitely not. A lot of extremely intelligent, personable, and fluent people end up in the street life it's not a rarity at all.
@@thedutchmaster420247 My reference to rarity was in relation to his background of a loving, supportive family, nothing else.
THis is the most articulate gang member i've ever seen interviewed. Thank your for this Mark
Wow. This is probably one of my favorite interviews to date. What a personable, real, and intelectual young man.
Hi Bobby wow you are a number one communicator, lovely smile and genuine guy …cheers from Western Australia
I have brother who’s been in prison since August 1989. Thirty four straight years in solitary confinement for being gang related. I don’t know how he’s survived. We’ve asked him to leave that gang so he can come into GP, but he won’t give up his loyalty. He’s strong in his choice to live that gang lifestyle. He’s proud and very intelligent. Old school gang members all share these same values.
Mark I have had a personal obsession with these cholo videos, I’ve watched all of spooky and Johnny’s videos over 5 times each. Thank you so much for letting people learn more about this group of individuals. Please please please continue . These videos are so entertaining.
Obsessed with My two favourites Johnny and Spooky too!
Nice to see people are kicking back, popping a brewski and enjoying some good old fashioned human suffering.

He is so bright and well spoken. Honest. I’d love to see him succeed and carry a message of another way to the youth of his community. Carry on, Bobby.
Yes it was an interesting interview and yes he talks about taking responsibility for his actions but you guys gotta keep in mind what he CHOSE to do to people and destroy and steal and harm “just for fun”. He’s not this awe inspiring man everyone’s saying. He’s just well spoken and honest.
Sounds like the only people he affects are other people in the same life though. Not saying it's right, just different than expected
Bobby would probably agree with you.
@@elisabethpound9772 Except for effecting his kids and family. And taxpayers had to pay for his incarceration. There is no harmless crime.
I feel like he's a bit of a manipulator. He makes it sound even noble, "I did it for the right reasons" and also talks about what he put his (decent) parents through and bringing home loaded guns with younger brothers. I feel like he has well honed communication skills and a good mask.
@@jenniferkoopman9711 I can't help but disagree. Sorry :)
The amount of people who are SHOCKED at how well spoken and intelligent a gang member is is actually the thing that is really shocking…

What an interesting interview. So surprising to me that this man, an active gang member and criminal is so personable, likeable and articulate. I'm from the UK so know nothing about American gangs, I just had the same stereotypical impression of unintelligent, vicious thugs that many people have. This really opened my eyes and gave me a window into a culture that I would not have thought had any depth beyond violence and criminality. Thank you Mark and Bobby.
same culture built pyramids hustla...if not for disease hernan cortez would not have conquered mexico.
Most of the higher Mexican Mafia guys speak really well. Very articulate. RUclips Rene "Boxer" Enriquez, he became a snitch but speaks very articulately
They get into it because it's exciting and they are too young to know better. But it gets real when they realize they can't leave under most circumstances. The fact that this guy glorifies this life at his age shows he isn't as bright as he makes himself out to be.
@Soldier of Jehovah thanks to Ronald Reagan trying to fund an illegal coup
Yeah shit ain’t what it use to be. Now they stand up for nothing and fall for everything. Glad you’re still alive bro. Seem like a genuine guy. Hope you and your daughter can have a great relationship. Every girl needs her father. 👍🏼 Dude straight spittin facts. Respect and Loyalty
Cant imagine coming out of 11 years isolation and being as well spoken as this dude.. Much respect bobby, and good luck with your future to come..
Absolutely captivating, I’ve watched many of your interviews, but this one, for some reason, had me from his first word to his last.
Incredibly well spoken. This guy could have done anything he wanted. I don’t admire the lifestyle but I do admire his honesty.
Idk how you managed to get him to talk on camera but congratulations. His mannerisms alone tell he’s a very dangerous man. Great interview
Highly intelligent individual who clarifies the higher levels of OG’s . “ the lifestyle “ you can just absorb his words of truth
Thanks for the interview Mark. Bobby is a very likeable but
mysterious guy. I can't imagine what it takes to spend 11 years in isolation. Not at all. The way he talks so nonchalantly about it...
Looks can be so deceiving. Maybe it's the way he's wearing his hat, backwards with his ears sticking out . He looks so young and nice. Your black and white portrait was quite a contrast. Wow. Two different people.
I just wonder what age a person can retire from the gang? Why couldn't he just retire and go on to give talks to 'at risk' youth. Tell them what isolation for 11 years feels like. And how you'll never be the same after that.
He is such a personable guy, he could make a big difference with young people.
This guy speaks so well 👏. If he got out of the game he can definitely be a role model to the younger generation. I wish him nothing but the best. Great interview 👍 👏.
This is one of the most interesting men I've ever seen speak. The level of honor and integrity is amazing and he just sees gang life as his chosen career. Fascinating.
Yes.. Fascinating.. 👍
To me, he is both admirable and terrifying. It's amazing how well spoken he is and how honest is about his life choices. But it's terrifying because you know because of his philosophy and choices that if you were between him and what he wanted....he would not hesitate to kill you.
This individual is 100% satisfied with his choices in life. He won't do anything differently. He's terrifying because he knows without a doubt that the gang bang lifestyle is his only path he'll ever take, and he'll do anything to anyone if it means staying on that path. The majority of his life has been spent in prison, so he knows no different.
So he had a career in the navy too??
I get it, because it was back in the day when alot of our friends still had their parents. They were still drawn to the hood. I wish his kids were first and the gangs left behind. He's done his time. I hope the seasons change for him. He'd benefit from giving his kids his all. It would change his life.
Hes the kind of guy you want to be friends with!! Smart, well spoken. one of your best interviews! Good luck with life Bobby!
My father died in prison cuz he never got his shit together!! My mom used to always say The criminal mind!! These men are intelligent but unfortunately use it for evil! I’m not impressed with him one bit! It’s so Sad 😞

I grew up a couple blocks away from his neighborhood, Cherry Ville stays active!!! Nice interview 🔥💪🏽
My utmost respect to Homeboy.
I completely understand him. I, myself, am associated with a street gang, however since I am 58 years I don't have to participate, one could say I am retired/hung up the gloves.
I am an only child. My Mom(R.I.P) busted her butt so I could go to private Catholic schooling from 1st grade all the way to 12th grade. Yet, I chose my road as well. So I definitely understand Homeboy. Our chosen lifestyle is bad enough, I can't fathom getting into the organization he is with.

Wow, just imagine if Bobby spoke this eloquently for the side that builds up and strengthens the community.
Do u pay these people? How do u decide how much you pay them if u do pay them? Either way your work is legit. I'm a 38 yr old disable veteran and ran the streets for 10 years prior. Struggled for years with drugs but sober now 6 years. It's all about helping others now and your work has helped keep me motivated
Pomona Cherie Ville is his street gang.
I’m sure some of you were probably curious.
Man this is one heck of a guy and his honesty and openness. He tells it like it is and what it used to be like. I never gangbang but my brother did and other family members did and I have lots of respect for them. They never brought it out us and there was loyalty back then. Not these days like I see. I can only hope that Bobby makes it to his elderly age, but he knows the reality of gang life. This video was one of the best ones involving a gang member. Truly an award winner for sure. Thank you Mark.
What a fascinating interview. Such a juxtaposition for a very insightful likable person.
Bobby, I appreciate your sharing your life. I wish for you all the very best… for me, that would be your leaving the gang for good. You have much to offer.
Mark, you are the best
Tell his kids that, they absolutely probably have no idea he is insightful
My husband is an ex gang member from California. He's the kindest and most intelligent man ever. The stereotypes portrayed is not always true.
Did he hurt others for personal gain?
No, he did not.
What kind of gang activities did he engage in? Theft, extortion?
None of that, either. It's not recent, we are both in our 50s now and he's left the gang life years ago. He was lucky to get out unscathed but we did leave the States and have lived abroad ever since.

Great interview. He's the kind of guy you can be cool with and hang out but never take his kindness for weakness. I have friends like that and those guys are the most respectful loyal friends I have
This was a great interview! Please do more of him. I know he’s got a lot of stories to tell. I love how well spoken and respectful he is. Definitely not many real gangsters like him left out here. It is all about loyalty and respect something these damn youngsters now in days lack.
He literally said they steal cars and mug people. What respect are you talking about? He’s a criminal ffs he has NO respect for anyone clearly!
Yes, great interview. Yes, a very honest intelligent likable man. But why is the comment section full of people being inspired and saying he's great. Still a criminal, still damaging other's lives. There's a reason they go to prison. You can glamorize cool criminals in fiction. Not in real.
Exactly, thank you! I appreciate the honest interview as well. However there’s Way too many People fawning over this guy just because he speaks properly and doesn’t come off thuggish . Meanwhile he’s spent the majority of his life incarcerated at the max level. One can only imagine the acts he’s committed , and the victims of those acts…. Yet he’s proud to still be out there banging. People are so easily manipulated smh
Finally someone being 💯 and not blaming everyone but them selfs , they know most ppl fall for the BS
What an awesome interview. You gotta respect this man’s honesty and loyalty.
He’s a murderer people. How can you respect that? Come on, he’s a worthless person who will eventually end up dead.
Bobby is so incredibly well spoken and shares so much raw knowledge. If he were the leader of the ones gathering territory, expanding and recruiting, imagine what could be done in and for the positive aspect of living? Good luck to you Bobby
His honesty is so beautiful ! His manners and intelligence blew me away. All though he chose this life, it seems he’s content with it and that’s rare. Wishing him the best of luck!
Loved this comment.. 👍
This was one of my favorite interviews. So honest and intelligent.
Bobby is open and honest to talk about his life in a gang. So sad that he chose that lifestyle being he had a mom and dad who obviously loved him. It breaks my heart to know he’s still active, doesn’t have his kids in his life. My heart goes out to him though! For some reason, I guess because he’s so open about his life. So many young Mexican Americans get in the gang lifestyle in California. I just wish there were more options to stop this gang mentality as being something right & seem to be the answer for so many young men and women. He’s smart, his life could’ve been so much more! I wish him the best and thank him for doing this interview and talking so freely about his life and the gangs.
Thank you again Mark for bringing us these interviews!
Alot of us grow up with good parents, we just choose the bad side sometimes!! 🙏🏽
He is OBJECTING and helping you and your family to avoid the tyranny which is already befalling you.Becky everybody has already agreed that this man is very intelligent not to mention his street cred. He is not a sheeple who blindly does as he is told. When you say "gang mentality" do you mean people gathering together under one opinion which may be against that of the fake news? When you say GANG mentality do you mean "we the people"?

34 years old. Served 17 years flat since 15. Homeboy legit served half his life in prison. Quite young too. Do better my now bro. Respect. Good interview.
I could listen to this man's insight for hours. He had obviously truly thought about his life and life as a gang banger... and he's right, people are interested in his story. How he related it to the tribes from the past made a lot of sense. I hope he lives a fulfilled life and stays safe.
He needs to come back mark! Incredible interview 💯
Agreed
and one of the worse thing about this is you have a baby growing up without her father.
That's why I am out
One of my favorite interviews so far! Thank you Mark!!!
I love how we are always being “ schooled “ on SWU
Well spoken, well mannered, however.
Don’t be fooled by that calm demeanour.
That guy is legit. Not to be played with.
Great interview.
This is a good interview. Lot of different things I never thought about in regards to gangs.
listening to him talk, I really think he could have succeeded at anything he chose to pursue. Its not too late to be a leader in life. I really hope he changes his ways and participates in society in a positive way.
Just can,t imagine this young man as a " mean gangsta" ... he could be giving a lecture at a college on career opportunities or life choices.. He seems happy with his life despite so many wasted years behind bars... hope he makes it to retirement!!
Yeah never said anything about a employment, or wasting 17 yrs on being able to get free educational degrees or anything.
@@vonderloo3184 I kind of lean towards that as well. No accountability for the grief and suffering his actions has brought. Hope this "gang memba" will learn how to live his grand words of how to be a man....All the best to him and his kids, happy holidays 🙂
Bobby though I have no respect for someone who chooses to rob, steal and sell drugs, I still appreciate you keeping it real and telling your story.
That homie right there is from CHERRY VILLE LOCOTES!! How do I know.. im from pomona myself and my whole family is from CVP CHS!! His stomach tattoo says "LOCOTES" I Just forgot what they call him.. He knows my cousins Swifty, Popeye, Spooks, and Trigger.. Thats the Homie SUSPECT!!!
Your a Sur 🐀 too?
I didn't expect this - he's quite a relaxed and cool guy. Hopefully things work out for him and he stays out of trouble or hurting anyone.
I'm from Monterrey, Mexico, a country right in the border with USA, and many years ago when I was young I used to work in a call center where I met a lot of mexicans who were gang members from California who get deported or for some reason came back to Monterrey and they where a lot of them because they know english so thats what they were looking for in that kind of jobs to basically take calls in english for customer service and sales and that stuff, you know, USA corps usually locate their call centers in Mexico or India because we can speak english but they pay us way less than if we were in USA.
So, coming back to the point, a lot of this guys were exactly like Bobby and I hanged out with them, and something I can tell is loyalty is true for them, even though I had nothing to do with gangs or their life style, just for the simple reason that I treated them well, they always had my back and made me feel as I was a part of them, they called me hommie, and most of them were very respectful and loyal and never forced me to do something I didn't wanted to just to be part of the gang, they accepted me as a friend knowing I don't want to have anything to do with gangs except smoking weed and they were fine with it and I get that loyalty part.
I'm 40 now, that was when I was like 23, and a few years ago when I was like 35 I moved to a hood that was kind of ghetto because the rent was cheap, so anyways, I made friends with this neighbours who are youngsters from gangs and that life style, but oh boy, what a mistake, this young gangsters are nothing like the old ones I knew, they know nothing about loyalty or honor or respect, so short story, I had to move from there inmediately and never made the same mistake again.
Sadly Bobby is right, loyalty is something that is getting lost from this life style, and I can dare to say, in the whole society nowadays.
What a great guy. I won’t take it personal if my sports car gets stolen or someone I know gets hooked on his drugs. Good interview.
I like this guy, very open and honest about his life choices. Probably wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of him though 🤣
I think the most interesting part (and the entire interview was seriously interesting) was hearing him talk about respect for officers for doing their job. That was something I honestly didn't expect to hear.
Same. That was really interesting to me.
Did a 17 yr bid starting at 15, is 34 years old and been out since 2017.... Guy must be a time traveler.
This dude is articulate and intelligent. I wish he would’ve chosen a different path in life.
“Respect & Loyalty ain’t there no more” FACTS, “we know what we signed up for” 💯 “No need to disrespect these men for doing their job” PERIOD.
18:55 What Bobby said reminded me of what Tony Soprano also said "We're soldiers. Soldiers don't go to hell. It's war. Soldiers kill other soldiers. We're in a situation where everyone involved knows the stakes and if you are going to accept those stakes, you've got to do certain things. It's business."
All I see is a waste of precious insight and opportunity.
Given many opportunities to become a productive member of society but chooses to do damage instead.
This choice of lifestyle isn't impressive.
Glorification of these behaviors and choices.... is gross.
I have no doubt you would take down people's loved ones for your own benefit.
I'm sure your mother is heartbroken by your behavior.... ugh
Yes, but knowledge is power.
He's a loser with many to follow!
@@Rickswars He didn't have to sit down and give this interview. What does he gain? Attention? Admiration? Censure? Defamation? Notoriety? Explain that, please. How does this man benefit from sharing his experiences with such a small group of individuals?
Can’t believe he still active .. still putting his parents and kids through bs ..
I know right.too bad.
Been in prison and know many gang members and it's very rare that you see a guy who had a good family and wanted to bang! Kudos for this man's transparency. Best of luck to Bobby.
Hi Mark, I haven't visited your channel in a while and only got back today only to see you're still going strong with the interviews and setting up your own subscription channel. It doesn't need to be said how selfless you are but I hope you're taking some time to recharge and get a breather every now and again - we can only speculate how much goes into it all. Take care!
Brother is a Shot Caller for La Eme. Very intelligent and very dangerous. 11years in special housing unit will break most
Dude is super honest. Its refreshing how he said he had options. You always have options
Bobby was truly an amazing person to have that respect not only to his parents and his gang but to everyone it really came from his heart when he spoke about loyalty be safe out there.God be with you.
Yeah he’s just an all around good guy..yeah right
Amazing? Far from it. He is a cold hearted murder. Come on, be real. He chose a path that will lead to only one thing … destruction. He has no idea what respect even is.
Wow! Very articulate and well spoken! Imagine that he did 11 years in isolation. Such a waste that this man chose to become a gang member. If he had stayed legal he would no doubt have been very successful.
Great interview ..yes this man chose his words very carefully. A well respected man..
WOW!! This gentleman is well spoken, has great
mannerisms, a good family, knows what he signed up for... he's big on Loyalty and Respect.... very few can present themselves this good! Although he chose that life, his parents raised him well 👏👏👏!
THANKS BOBBY FOR THIS GREAT INTERVIEW, interesting words- hope you stay educating these frkn kids that just want to prove a point, unnecessarily!
Saludos from city of West Covina
Damn we definitely need another interview with Bobby. This one was really good.
BEST INTERVIEW YET MARK KEEP THEM COMEING I WISHED THAT YOU WOULD LET SOMEONE INTERVIEW YOU 🤗😘❤️💯🙏
Textbook example of what Corrections Officers know all to well, "Con Games" or "Inmate Manipulation Games." This guy speaks very well, almost enough to let your guard down. Do some research on this topic. COs are taught to recognize this and defend against it.
Outstanding. Thank you for this insight. Bobby Don't admire your life style but much respect to you and how you are well verse and charismatic and above all HONEST. Godspeed.
Well, the one thing l learned about “Loyalty” when I was a Gang Member and also while doing Time in Prison is that THERE IS NO LOYALTY IN GANGS OR IN PRISON!!! That is why I left the Gang. The only successful Gang Member is a FORMER Gang Member.
Being a member is weak anyway. I was always the leader…still am. Just not leading the gang anymore…I lead my family now.
i long time ago i CHOSE not to be a criminal. I was about 20 at the time. "My thinking was, the world is already messed up... why add someone intelligent and confident like me to the criminal underground... so i actually chose to be a good person and make the best of it" glad i did.
