I’ve got to throw out the bones now
From: Gang Life
$1.80
Dillon, aged thirty-three and a Latino father of two, tells his
story in Chapter Six. Along with five friends, he founded a gang
in high school. A few years later he was asked to patch over and
lead the Canadian chapter of a large multinational gang. His
gang was into drug and gun trafficking and inflicting violence
on anyone in their way. Dillon now plays in a jazz band and
regularly speaks to groups of young people about the dangers of
gangs and drugs.
