We used to have these back and forth because gangs would go at it.

Gangs like Logan Heights, gangs that were well established from centuries.

These are gangs that have been around since

maybe the 40s and 50s.

Like, this is not new gangs.

Like, they're generational.

Like, you know, there's the White Fans or 18th Street or all these gangs in L.A.

These were Pachucos before.

You know, if you look at the history of Mexican gangs, you know, they've been around, right?

So their wars have also been around back and forth between them.

So basically the girl was a plant, right?

So she wasn't really interested in me.

I was going to show up and it was by name designed for me.

But as Allah would have it, Qadr, your fate or destiny, whatever you want to call it, it wasn't meant for me to die that day.

So even though I was planning on going, ended up that my friend went instead of me.

And when he got there to the payphone and called her, she said, I'll be right out.

Instead of her coming out, a bunch of guys came out with guns and just, you know, while he was in the booth, they just shot him up.

Holy shit.

Yeah.

He got nine bullets, you know, one through the hand, a few in the chest, one straight to the head.
