When asked "what's your secret?" And he said , "Gods grace" I got goosebumps. The most honest and truthful answer I've heard in awhile. I applaud how open and honest he is. Perfect example of Philippians 4:13. Keep the faith bud! 💜 ((!!PSA- this is Joel's wife... Im always logged into his YT cause he is subbed to the BEST channels and way more than me!

This is the type of story that truly changed my mind on the whole "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" mentality. It's so easy for someone outside of the life to say "don't kill people and sell drugs" with a condescending tone, but what about people like this guy? Listen to him describe his young life and his upbringing and tell me what you would have done in that situation? When all the morals and teachings were never implemented, what values burn bright in your heart? Would you fight for freedom and self respect? A lot of time these young kids are fighting for those values in the only way they know how. They didn't have a choice their role models put the gun in their hands.

I noticed the same thing and then I got to thinking, do some people do these kinds of things out of boredom? At least in part? I've never been a gang member but I have been violent and criminal for a good chunk of my 31 years of life. I was robbing my freshman peers with hammers and knives at 14. For fucking weed. For extra smoke and pocket money and because it was quick, relatively easy and exciting. There were other reasons I acted and behaved that way but one of them really was boredom. People need fulfilling shit to do with their lives imo. Without meaning, structure, purpose and guidance, some of us truly are lost to our environments and the more base, primal sides of our nature. I know it's cliche but what if he got into sports instead? What if I took sports more seriously in highschool? What if I kept playing travel soccer? What if I took writing more seriously and I got into journalism or writing as an art when I was a kid? What if this dude got into playing hockey instead? What if he knew he was into fishing? What if he was into working on small engines and all that stuff instead of drugs, gangs and violence? Where would he be now? It's really like some people get into lives like this because they don't see much else worth doing in their environment.

That's what I was thinking the whole time. Since he's not on drugs I'm wondering, if the ganhs were using him as a hitter, and all the Jeff has him looking so traumatized.

I was born in Chicago and only visited a few times since I was raised in Washington State. One visit was when I was an addict. I was taken under a guy's wing, and Q reminds me of him. I got to see all kinds of shooting galleries downtown, visited a few projects, and did all kinds of dope there. It is a scary place and it wasn't as bad when I was there (2003), but his honesty and demeanor reminds me so much of that experience. I am lucky to have not been killed when I was there. A white man, addicted to heroin and crack, carelessly visiting the projects and various high-rise apartments. I hope Q can get out of skid row. He is smart and shines when he laughs and smiles. Best of luck to you, Q. Awesome interview.

Thanks for sharing your story with us Q. Wow! You've been so lucky so far. Your angels have been working overtime. So much gun violence.... hope you stay safe.

This guy is genuine.Id love to know how he s doing nowdays. He could write a book that would sell with all he knows and how he expresses himself.

Q seems like a good person man. I hope things work out for him.

"You're one of the few male family members who've survived, and you haven't done any prison time. What's your secret?" "God's grace, I guess." Good answer. ♡

The point he made about the amount of people drafted from Chicago for Vietnam is extremely interesting. I wouldn't doubt that it had an impact on a lot of the children of that time. Dads coming home with mostly untreated ptsd a lot coming home with heroin addictions, and also coming home a trained killer. It would be cool to see some actual research done on that to see if it did have any effect

I like him. He’s got a good head on his shoulders. He was put in unfortunate situations, but he knows there’s more to life than just what he was subjected to. He also has a perfect bone structure in his face. Kinda fine fr. I just truly hope he becomes more active in his daughters life bc every little girl needs her daddy.

@Jimmy La Pinga we all play a role in the political realm. You’re in a gang lol you just don’t know it. 🤦🏾‍♀️ btw I’m not saying it makes it right. Just the reality.

I am so glad too see this young man being truthful & I pray that he gets to soar like an eagle one day, he has sooo much too offer younger teens who are headed down the wrong path! Good luck buddy!

This man has heart and intelligence despite everything life has flung at him. He has love in him.

Just focus everyday brotha on putting in applications and at some point you’ll land something just don’t give up.

I could listen to this Man all day......its these hidden soldier

Chicago no joke men I drove through the Westside today. Driving through the neighborhood is sad and depressing see drug out ppl, overgrown trees, abandoned houses, and ppl on every corner.

I see him rocking the Glo gang Chain shout the OG🗣😭😭🐐

Wow . His story is insane. Idk what city is worse. South Side Chicago or South Central LA, but from my POV being from the LA area, I'm more terrified of Chiraq. Sidenote, please get a relationship with ur daughter! You remind me so much of my Dad who passed last year. She needs you in her life whether yall realize it or not

I grew up just north of the south side of Chicago but went to school with south side kids. Now I live in a Suburb just south of the south side of Chicago. The south side is violent, it is, and I will do everything in my power to never live in the south or west sides of Chicago. As for me, considering I don't live in the thick of it, I'm not all that worried about the violence going on there for my own safety. I am however worried about the rampant car-jackings happening everywhere that often turn deadly. And from my understanding, it's not just Chicago with this problem right now. The way I see it, learn whatever city you live in, and try not to hang around the rough neighborhoods too long, or ever if you can help it.

Damn dude, kind of a lame comment. You realise that prejudiced right?

So, i'm pretty sure I've never commented before, but... Can it be that you (Mark) have begun to shoot the still shots differently? Or maybe the post-shot adjustments have changed somewhat? I have the feeling that you are showing stills that are maybe more representative of your actual perception of the person? I feel like the representation in the current stills don't have quite the instant 'grab you' appeal. But if you still take the plunge and choose it because it's this channel (SWU), you're pleasantly surprised. You're rewarded. The interviews are even more personalized, showing or bringing out more of the person's character, it seems. Anyway, maybe it's just me... But it pulls me back, every time.

4:35 The Robert Taylor Homes. One of the many "projects" that have since been demolished. I ride the Metra through there every day and that whole area which used to be a bunch of tall buildings is just flat land with quiet, empty roads remaining. You might see a car or two drive through from time to time but it's just a deserted and vast land of nothingness. They've built a few new things over there and the Chicago Fire Dept will hook up the fire hydrants there from time to time and shoot water around for training purposes, but most of the time there's a police car parked against the train tracks my train rides on and there is nothing there now.
