[CharlieTheTexan]

Everyone's talking about "if you will, " but when it comes to him saying _"El Salvador"_ correctly every

*THIS MAN DOESN'T MISS!*

[edgaralvarez]

This guy heard someone say “if you will” and knew it was for him

[KingCobraofMeta]

"If you will."-a book by Gerado Lopez

[Roc_Official]

Take a shot everytime he says “If you will” good luck!

[juliofernandez]

Has anyone got the "If you will count"? This is a mission for not just any average joe. You may not ever return. But know your courage and persistence will be forever grateful for every comment section ever created by man. Godspeed gentle soul.

[sheepous]

I grew up in LA in the 80's and 90's and this guy is so on point...if you will!

[Fracking]

I prefer the interviews with the gangsters and business people. The rapper's dont be talking about shit

[driver]

A very good history explained here about MS-13. Lopez did a good job explaining it in this interview. The history is always important so we get past all the myths & lies. If we don’t learn then history repeats itself.

[azuldreamfilms]

Ironically MS started by other nationalities talking bad about the way the Salvadoreños spoke, and here we are talking bad about how this guy talks lol

[SampsonSimp]

I’m here for the “If You Will” comments.

And here I am, an immigrant from the South, who lived in a cardboard hut through years of my childhood now watching this video and thanking my parents for all of the love they gave us, for raising us to be respectful and value life...to have goals and have ambition, there is no need for prison, juvenile detention, post prison reform when there is good and proper parenting. If you can’t do that, you have no good reason to have children until you can nurture care and educate your child...if we all did that, this world would cure itself of criminals and there would be no need to label them for their crimes. If you can’t appreciate the label, then don’t commit the crime. Let’s do our part by mentoring these kids to help them become success stories instead of another number in prison.

This interview is one of my favorites. I love the part where he talks about going to the law library in prison. Having to write all those motions must have been so hard. This was very inspiring. God bless you sir and may you continue to have a full life and happiness and health!

[sapitoortiz]

Gerardo Lopez, you got that right... I am one of those MSS back from 1983 everything star in la calle Leeward ... Yo era el MENUDO ... Now I live in Canada ... I survive because of my familia ... 😎👈

[chrisnajdek]

Vlad: Does MS mean army ants?

Lopez: Mara Salvatrucha is slang in El Salvador for “If You Will.”

[IbeSyke]

Vlad was so into this story he didn't even interrupted and ask a question for like 10min lol

[s.k]

He is a very passionate person if you will. He really wants to make a change and help the youth if you will. I believe his intentions are pure if you will. Hope he makes a difference if you will
