Introduction
We all which that there was no violence in the world, but since Cain and Able were the first individuals that introduced us to violence in biblical times we have just been having more and more or it. Thereby, in today’s time it is no surprise to see violence in violence’s within our community. I have been both of these types of people in my life times. From a personal perspective I will discuss them both in hope of others gaining an understanding that violence has no walls and can strike you up close and personal.
Personal experiences with violence’s as the victim and the victimizer
When we fall in love we tend not to check a person’s back ground or listen to good advice or warnings as to why we should not date a certain person. …show more content…
I would have black eyes, busted lips and black and blue makes all over my body. But the worst part of it all I would lie and tell people I ran into a door, I tripped and fell, or that I was in a pick-up game of football (yes, I played for my high school) and I got injured because we were playing without our head gear (helmet) and the boys just tackled me a little too hard. Right! That is what my family and friends would say, but even though I knew I should have reported the abused, I did not, because that would have made the beating much worst. Long story short I took it for two years until I got sick and tired of it, and I fought back in the worst kind of way. I tried to decapitate him with a box cutter (was always good hiding blades in my mouth), and was about to give him a good old Columbian neck tie (pulling there tongue through their throat), but I stopped and called the police and the ambulance. You would think he would press charges, but he told the hospital and the LEOs, that I was defending myself from him when he was trying to beat me up.

Now, even though I had all that I like to have power and would live life fast and hard in the US and fast and hard got me introduced to gang membership, well dating the leader was a plus. I became second in command quickly, because I knew how my legal system worked at that time, and would keep my updated on things by just hanging in the neighborhood and chatting with the LEOs who were trying to have me stop my reckless ways.
With my position, it can be challenged at any time, so a leader would and should be able to do anything or anyone to keep their spot even kill if they have too (I did not get that far) without any questions. I stared on top of my position by stealing, selling drugs, money laundering (on a very small scale), beating up and robbing people in my neighborhood and daring them to tell (they would not), fighting, carjacking (was good at that too), shooting, stabbing, home invasions, sell drugs and dish out punishment if the profit/drugs was a little lite meaning someone skimmed money off/product off the top, and I had people on the inside that would make sure I did not get
