    Former gang member: *Gets arrested at 9 y/o* 9 y/o me: *Cries when the teacher calls out my name*
  • @jimchen3762
    The sadness he showed when he says 11 years old kids should go to Disneyland, the crowd thinks it's a joke, but that emotion he show hit me really hard.
  • @joju5849
    Damn, this former gangster is truly a gentleman, trying to set a kid straight by explaining that what he went through is NOT the kind of life that kid really wants to live
  • @freddy2nt
    When he said "Disneyland is a good place to go." he really meant it. He lost his childhood on the streets, he's not being funny.
  • @dankim7488
    This man is proof that even those with a really bad past can change and become whole again. It doesnt happen often but the chances are not zero.
  • @kaysav9006
    That kid looks like he was just tryna flex on Snapchat and his parents went straight to dr.phil
  • @cessactdm
    The kid looks like someone who would have the world record for the most n-words said in a Fortnite match
  • I'm so glad there's a guy who came on the show who had lived that life and told him the truth and to help steer him onto the right patch
  • @HittingBandy
    Joseph: "how're you doing *Boss*" Dr. Phil is secretly a gang Lord!
  • @emirhan12341
    He can’t even look straight in his eyes, how tf does he want to be a gangster..
  • Wow... what an impactful moment. I think a lot of these kids don't feel confident and feel the need to create some type of persona. The way the gangster talked to him was very touching. He was firm yet very emotional. I could tell he touched that boy's heart and he will remember that moment forever.

    “No sir Disneyland is a good place to go” HE MEANT THAT
