How The Latin Kings Gang Actually Works | How Crime Works | Insider 

This is the best "interview" I've ever listened to. That man is very articulate and I'm glad he's actually a good father and turned his life around.

That guard that let him hold his child will never know how he changed this man’s life. One small moment of grace and boom

I was a former latin king myself and did 10 years in prison. Fast forward into my life I'm now proud owner of a large trucking company operating in 30 states,Mexico, colombia and Puerto rico with 80 workers mostly latin kings who I help along the way to become part of society and help a total of 27 purchase their first home and business. Im here as a great example of how you can change your life and leave the street life ❤

“You look stuck” - powerful words from his daughter

“I became a slave to my own name… ur not gonna shame this name, because my identity was that name” is deep as it is straight bars

"I don't get cleaned up like I've never been dirty" damn what a bar. Glad he's changed his life and is now helping others do the same.

Almost 10 years of my life I was a king. In my neighborhood you were either Latin king, blood or DDP. There was a couple trinitario sets, but we all beefed with them after they killed one of my close friends at just 16 years old. My family were kings so it was just a normal thing to us growing up. It wasn’t always violence, wasn’t always war, but when it was bad it was really bad. Alot of the times we were just a family keeping each other safe, uplifting each other and trying to find ways to make legal money rather then just on the streets. But eventually all that changed. I learned a lot that shaped me into the person I am today. Eventually it just got to the point where it wasn’t all about being a family anymore and it was constant beef with other blocks. Everyone was losing people left and right. Some of us just grew out of it and moved away to better ourselves. The homies that didn’t are sadly not here anymore.. I got stars all over and the set tatted on me. Also was an idiot and tatted under my eye so im stuck with that mark for ever. Reminds me everyday to keep my kids on the right track and go hard for this legal money so they never have to end up in that environment ever again.

Seeing how emotional he got when he realized how hard he was hurting his daughter (and family) hit me. Much respect to this man who reevaluated his life then and there. I'm not even a religious person, but I'm a believer in you do what makes you a better person... doesn't matter to me how you get there.

Im an ex gang member from East LA. Different hood same story Jesus Christ intervened my life to save me🙏

When he talked about the prison guards, giving you no choice to be violent was super enlightening

Andy is a good dude.. I did time with him for a bit. Glad to see the great changes he made to his life and guiding others as well. Much respect

He broke this down Excellent! I’m a Chicago Native and back in the 80’s and 90’s them Latin Kings was nothing to play around with period!

"Every saint has a past and every sinner a future"

That's just too much work. I'll just remain friendless.

He a burger king now.

Thank you for this interview.

This is inspirational. Thank you

This is a great interview 👍🏿

Ignorance breeds violence. Educate your kids, people! Gangs breakdown when options are available.

His daughter saved his life, the hardest toughest man can be broke down by a little innocent girl.

Watching these interviews motivates me to stay out the way

"but man, god intervened". - Andy Pellerano People can turn their life around and dont even know it. One second, one moment, that's all it takes. You can still do good I promise you. Leave violence behind. Embrace love and unity. We are all humans after all. Same family, one blood, one people.

Love it brother. Proud of you overcoming and becoming a positive force. Keep on keepin on. May God Bless you and your work. 1 👊🏽

Powerful interview

I'm glad this young man turn to our king above. He listen to everyone in need. He also teaches us lessons in life. I wish that all now young adults need to hear what's out there in life in the streets. Hats off to you and wish you lots of luck. We needs more like you thanks again. Bless you 🙏

Amazing transformation 👍🏽

What a series, this guy got some Charisma. I hope that the young people he talks to can see the right choices in life are.

I am glad to see how much you turned your life around

Interviewing Latin kings outside the origin of Chicago is crazy.

Solid dawg

Good dude !!!

Congratulations on your new life and helping those out that are lost. Being a father to daughter changes a man for real. God bless brother.

Great video!

This man is a true servant as a pastor. God bless his turn around.

I'm so happy to hear him talk about the moment of realization about God's love. He will continue to use you to uplift and inspire others in a similar situation ❤

Man really turned his life around. Respect.

How he talked of holding his baby shows how good a dad he is and how big his heart is. Every man should love their children!!!

Gd job king keep up the good work!! G.B!!!!

Takes a real man to do what he’s doing Respect hermano

GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER. Staying the course and helping others find redemption. 🤲🏽📿. I need to know where to find your music! Godspeed on your journey

Almost clicked off then I heard the amazing ending. Keep up the good work! God is good...

Props for turning your life around bro, good lookin out and live well

Good for you brother. I never understood how these so called pastors never went info the hoods to try and help people change their lives around. Glad to hear someone finally tryna do it. God bless!

Facts! My dawg the real deal

Much Love❤ would love to interview you

Wow good on you, God had your back big time

This truly blessed me in many ways. You give hope to many. The name of your ministry "One Accord" made me understand even deeper why someone like you would have that name for ministry. You understand the depth of being in one accord. Truly touched me also when you said sometime when one will be disciplined they will tell others to look away. Alot of times we watch and add to the beating. I pray God will continue to touch those in gangs and transform their lives for His Glory. This video has alot teaching of what a family should be. The 5 points. Love, honor. respect, obedience and loyalty. Wow God help us to understand what being in One Accord in you Lord is, no matter our location. God bless Insiders for interviewing you and thank you for be vulnerable to share. May God tremendously continue to use you to give hope of change.

Amazing! God bless this brother and his transformation.

Hallelujah, what a Savior this man has found!

God bless him. Thank you for your testimony.

This is a man. Took responsibility for his actions and accepted Christ to be a new creature. Great example of what Christ can do in anyones life.

While driving through Texas, I really needed to stretch my legs and take a short walk. I stopped the car on the side of the interstate, in a patch of road that looked just like all the others. I walked about a hundred yards from the road and looked down. There was three single dollar bills just laying there. I always wondered how those bills got there when there was NOTHING around for miles. Perhaps it was a guy like this throwing money out the window?

Blessings!

I love your story bruh

He explained it perfectly

Imagine if we took all this ambition and organization towards something that actually helped latinos and blacks in the hood.

Respect 🙏

From the cadence of his voice, he sounds like some old-school rapper from the 90s

Powerful story

I LIKE THIS GUY, KEEP DOING YOUR WORK PASTOR!

I'm a black 65 year old man when I was younger I was shot I had bad feelings if I would have reacted to the pain it cause I would have went to prison that would have cost me no children and grandchildren I'm glad for you brother that your eyes have open wish you the best just think you made it out when you leave this place call earth you will meet the real king jesus

This has to be the very best interview I have ever seen on this channel. Yes, this guy was a criminal, no doubt about it. However, he has committed himself to living a better life, and I have nothing but respect for him. He owns up to his mistakes and is interested in doing right by his community. Good man.

The paramedics didn't save me lol

Respect to this guy for going out to rough places to try to make a positive change

God damn, what a powerful story. It's so great that he could turn his life around and pay it forward to the kids. I will check out his rapping, too. 👍

Love this story. Called by name, born and raised back to life again!

All I can say is people truly do change!

4:36 bars🔥🔥 “When you in poverty you inspired to make money because you think that money will solve all of your problems”

I’m so glad he is finding ways to change his life. Hoping it will stick and bring a new generation for love

Apple Pie Ingredients (for 8 servings) PIE DOUGH 2 ½ cups flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 ½ sticks butter, 1 1/2 sticks, cold, cubed 8 tablespoons ice water, or as needed FILLING 2 ½ lb granny smith apple, cored, sliced, peeled ¾ cup sugar 2 tablespoons flour ½ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon ¼ teaspoon nutmeg ½ lemon 1 egg, beaten 1 tablespoon sugar TOPPING 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream Preparation 1. In a medium-sized bowl, add the flour and salt. Mix with fork until combined. 2. Add in cubed butter and break up into flour with a fork. Mixture will still have lumps about the size of small peas. 3. Gradually add the ice water and continue to mix until the dough starts to come together. You may not need all of the water, but if the dough is too dry then add more. The dough should not be very tacky or sticky. 4. Work the dough together with your hands and turn out onto a surface. Work into a ball and cover with cling wrap. Refrigerate. 5. Peel the apples, then core and slice. 6. In a bowl, add the sliced apples, sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and juice from the lemon. 7. Mix until combined and all apples are coated. Refrigerate. 8. Preheat the oven to 375°F (200°C). 9. On a floured surface, cut the pie dough in half and roll out both halves until round and about ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick. 10. Roll the dough around the rolling pin and unroll onto a pie dish making sure the dough reaches all edges. Trim extra if necessary. 11. Pour in apple filling mixture and pat down. 12. Roll the other half of the dough on top. 13. Trim the extra dough from the edges and pinch the edges to create a crimp. Make sure edges are sealed together. 14. Brush the pie with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the sugar. 15. Cut four slits in the top of the pie to create a vent. 16. Bake pie for 50-60 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and no greyish or undercooked pastry remains. 17. Allow to cool completely before slicing. 18. Top with ice cream and serve. 19. Enjoy.

When I listen to this man i hear a man born again and being saved

Its crazy the difference in hierarchy between the latin kings and southern cali hispanic gangs.. way different structure .. but still organized in there own way.. crazy how good business men these guys could have been.

You guys need to do a video about the mafia behind the Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro

Nice shot of the 97+ Jeep Cherokee at 6:48

I got a similar testimony how can I get ahold of this brother I would like to do the kind of work he is doing

Remember seeing documentary about NY LK.. those guys used to live near by ADR👑

Perfect person to be a Pastor. Paul (Formerly Saul) would approve!

When I talked about his breaking point I felt that hurt.

Damn that old school handshake was so easy back then

b less you brother keep the message alive

The Square and Compass logo on his sweater is interesting.

I low-key thought this was Jason Lee 💀

To anyone cracking jokes about this, yall never been through it. People joined Latin Kings, ,Ñetas, Bllods, Crips etc for different reasons, and not many are able to leave and live on. Life is all about lessons, from being young and making mistakes to being older and making selfish decisions with consequences, we are all blessed to be able to learn from our past. Salute to him for speaking his truth and experience.

Good for You ,, ya Woke Up ,, Spirit is with us All , find a way to get in touch ,, Best Wishes 🙏

Good Story 🤟

When I was heavy into gang bangin I always respected the Kings. Most of the ones I met were solid.

I was really surprised that so many people have no clue about street life when i joined the army. I thought it was totally normal to have a side hustle that made thousands of dollars a week. I got so lucky when I enlisted i dodged fed time.

He speaking through to us doing gods work.

I wish this would go viral. This behavior is crazy and we should normalize learning from other peoples mistakes.

🔥🔥🔥

The Latin Kings started in Chicago in the late 40s.
