From BBOARD: Last week I was watching GANGLAND's episode on the Nortenos and the Nuestra Familia (on A&E). It dealt with northern california gangs and their organization called the NF - Nuestra Familia.  To which Daniel "Lizard" Hernandez was 2nd in command ... and poised to take over and be leader of all of NF soon. Until he turned informant. Then his past came out.

I bought the conversation up because it somehow turned to criminal activity. I asked did anyone watch that episode. Just my luck a JW elder we invited to a usual on-Sunday "Hospitality" knew about his past ... he was raised a JW. Just my luck. Then the whole dinner table briefly started talking about how bad this system is and how Satan really gets to you when you leave.

Just for trivial information (and to see if he was BS'ing) I googled him and this is what I got ... "Gang affiliation in California is often a matter of geography, but for Daniel Hernandez it wasn’t that simple. He was born in Pittsburg, which made him a Norteño by birth. But one year later, his family moved to Long Beach, the heart of Sureño country. Hernandez never belonged to either group until he ended up in prison. His middle-class Long Beach upbringing was spent golfing, surfing, and skateboarding. His father sold vacuum cleaners; his mother was a housewife. Both were steeped in the Jehovah’s Witnesses faith. “As a kid I didn’t know anything but religion,” he said."  (from http://www.amren.com/mtnews/archives/2004/10/lizard_is_a_rat.php)

His fault for making poor choice .. but still, it was IMO so sad he ended up like that.
