That's all he cared about.
He was a tough guy.
Tough love.
Yeah, tough love.
My father was, mashallah, he was firm on that.
So he picked up a bat.
He got in.
He had a big Camaro muscle car.
He just said, OK, where are they?
So the gangs, you know, it was a gang called Loma Street, Southern Cal.
It's still around, 27th Street.
We knew where they were.
And my father pulled up, saw the guys.
And he jumped out with a bat, cracked one guy's head, and shattered the other guy's shoulder.
Jeez.
Yeah, my dad was tough.
The problem was, though, he then drove away to his house in another neighborhood, and I had to go to school the next day.
So when I got to school, I still remember it.
I was just walking through the hallways, and the kids were like, hey, there's the dead kid.
He's going to get killed today.
