of gang members?
00:00:02
>> We don't ruin people's lives. We uplift
00:00:04
people. Get into the gym. Get off the
00:00:05
drugs. Get a job. Hey brother, how's it
00:00:07
going? How are you, bro? How about we go
00:00:09
get some dinner?
00:00:10
>> If you walk down the street and there's
00:00:11
like a group of three, five guys with
00:00:13
patches on. Should you turn the other
00:00:14
way? Should you cross the road?
00:00:16
>> No, it's probably best to just say hi.
00:00:17
