  • @kikaaz

  • @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
  • @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.
  • @scalyfish3028
    “No sir, Disneyland is a good place to go” he ain’t wrong
  • @melphafist6477

    Everybody gangsta till a real gangsta shows up
  • @idgaf4184
    Dr phil invited that former gang member because Dr. phil is not a former gangster. He is still one
  • 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.

    the kid wants to be a gangster but he looks like he’s too scared to ask the teacher to use the bathroom
  • 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
