Shaykh Uthman

Loma Street gang is going to come and kill him today because his dad just put two of them in the hospital.

So...

Another gang called Eastside San Diego, this is all part of the Sureño, Southern California, and the 13, as they say, the M network.

They said, look, you can fight.

You can hold your ground.

We've seen you around.

You have two options.

Either you stand on your own, you're going to get killed.

They're going to come here today.

These gangs have, you know...

5,000, 6,000 standing gang members, right?

I mean, if you look at gangs like MS-13 or 18th Street, they have 50,000, 60,000 gang members internationally in El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, U.S., across.

I mean, so these are not like, you know, little 10, 20 people crews.

So they said, okay, you're one 12-year-old against a gang that has 5,000 members.

You're going to get killed.

Or you can join us, and we'll back you, and you'll survive.

So that's how I got into gangs at 12 years of age.

Yeah.

For sure.

I mean, who would stand up for me?
