Hey Nawojczyk! I watched Bangin' in Little Rock 4 the first time just now, I've always had a fascination with street gangs. The white gang for the 1st15 minutes I actually thought was a joke I can understand HBO wanting to higlight the problem - 'look it isnt just blacks', but they were just a group of lowlifes who i highly doubt were actually properly affiliated with any real crip/nation gang. Regardless, your work was uplifting & amazing and I have a huge amount of respect for you, great job!
you're stupid. such a fake wannabe. seriously all that thuggin and look at you now speaking proper english looking for sympathy. no gangbanger should never deserve any sympathy. you deserve all the shit that came to you.
Parents , let me speak from experience, if ur daughter is involved wi a worthless thug or some malcontents , strip her from her money , vehicle , gas .... Ect. The bums will leave her alone. It will be a good education for her too , in the process . They R only looking for other kids to mooch off of.
She wasn't really 1 of them , she wanted to be so bad, but she finally admitted and came to the realization that as long as she had a car to drive there broke asses around & $ to spend on their weed to smoke wi them , she could hang.
it was funny how they only showed a lil bit of that white gang and never went back to them ha cuz they was boring not even bangin but then again they didnt really have any direction
you are right it will effect you for the rest of our life. the enemies that u made will bangin don't give a flying fuck if you left the gang, you are/will be a target.
Very true what shes saying, It effects you for the rest of your life. Getting a job with a record, no work expirence, finding it hard to trust people ect, depression are just some of the things that will face you when you leave ganglife. :(
Now you get to go back and hide in your white shell and be safe! See how easy it is for you? Because it was a game to you not a gang! I am really tripping on how you went from singing hard core Snoop Doggy Dog gangsta rap and now you're on some "Sweet Polly Pure Bread" innocent whit girl shit! What ever!!
@prohoezak STFU, I've known people in gangs and people with whole family of gangs still make the right choices to make something of themselves and strive hard to get an education and a good job. It up to the individual how determined you are
mR. Nawojczyk I would like to say that I saw Gang War Banging in little rock when in 93 on HBO when i was 11, and it scared me out of even the thought of being in a gang. The documentary was powerful and i have shown it to my daughters and nieces to make sure that fear was in them as well. I am glad to see she is doing well and was wondering about KK, GREG, ABE, if you had any updates on them? I want to commend you on a job well done. I am happy for Emily!
wow...so she decided she wanted to return to being a nice white woman again. Wiggers make me sick with their fakeness. If you're going to be a gangsta, stay one. Dont act like one, one minute, then a corny whitebread the next
@ThatGuyTooHigh Wow, your a fucking cornball, it's not one minute, then the next. It's ten god damn years later, its called she grew up. She's an adult now. You can talk to all the hardest and oldest OG's in Cali, and the way they will start off their sentences are "When I was a Kid" ...none of them stayed "bangin" they all moved on.
@Nazreth187 that comment he made is true gangbanging is a life comintment its something you cant even turn your back on yea some gangbangers grow up but for the most part their still there for everybody in the neighbor hood and they try to explain to the youngster that its a one way street im from california i know about this life
THIS LIFE AINT FOR EVERYBODY
dumb teenagers now adays see something cool about gangs
Dr Nawojczyk I hope your doing better. You look like you were at the end of your rope filming this. Out of all the people in this documentry you and Rev Stewert were the one's I repspected the most. What's happening with you? Are you still in practice?
You know I was going about my normal day watching judge hatchett's old re-run and it mention this gang in AK so I googled it. I am a 24 yo mother of a 3yo son from atlanta and even though I am not a direct victim of a gang however, I was born and raised in the projects all of my life and was very often subject to similar violence. I am so move at the intiative you took. I am going to school for my B.A. & if you are ever in atl I would love to speak to the youth with you. pls post if interested.
all yall that speak that shyt about white pe6ple not gds thats bullshyt im igd and im glad she raised up this shyt aint no joke white actors bytch pleaze before you run your mouth no what the fuck you speaking on gds accept whites you ignorant muthaphucckas
@IGDRob well to be honest with you im from North little Rock which the Ar. river stands between us and Little Rock i have never seen or heard of these so called white gds?NLR is mostly bds and being a teenager in the 90s i was caught up in the bs.its nothing to brag about just pointing out they probally were actors.most of the people that were bangin in l.r. then are dead or in prison.so if you want to live a long life get your mind right.ijs
@deathcanvas11 Wow, you missed the point entirely. My comment was more of a jab in the eye of HBO than at her. I guess you did not read any other comments. Well, since I offended your pristine values, I have removed my comment. Now why don't you ask everyone else who had a similar type of comment to do the same. How about dave8462's comment that, "This girl is a joke."?
She's real proud of being on that show. That's why she was smiling like that. I'm from Little Rock, and watched the stupid movie. I love how they make it look like whitey is equally responsible. If you want to believe that, fine. This girl is a joke. We had "gangsters" like her, and her friends where I grew up. Well outside of Little Rock. These people, including her, are completely worthless. Fakes, wannabes...What a joke.
I'm glad to hear you are doing well Emily, and I am glad your life seems so in control now. We all make choices that, as we get older, we wish we hadn't. Recognizing that and going forward is part of the circle of life. Regards, Steve
@Nawojczyk she doesn't deserve any sympathy. she choice that life even when raised by middle class folks. she never needed to be in a gang in the first place.
Was it a real gang?....It was very real to me... Was it all an act for the cameras...No, but all the extra attention sure didn't help..... Was I able to just up and leave?...I left in a hurry afraid for my life, my own family did not know where I was. I do not care to see or associate myself with most of the people from that time and I am still afraid of running into a select few. I have regrets but you can't change the past. All you can do is learn from it.
I am a completely different person now. I am a proud military wife; we have been married for 11 years and we have 3 great kids. Most people who know me now know nothing of my past and would find it hard to believe. My life, at 17, was a crazy mess. I made bad choices that will follow me throughout my life. There is more to my story that I still do not feel comfortable talking about.
@Emily3464 Well emily, this interview was touching, its crazy seen you back then and then seeing you now and theres such a difference, makes me think about my life and how i was when i was younger, your right, the choices you make are apart of you and apart of your past and always will be. I just wish i could go back and change things but we cant, so all we can do is learn from our mistakes and move forward, i wish you well in life, all the best. peace out babe
The last I knew, she did still have the brand. She's a completely different person now and I thought her interview was so powerful. I use it when I do my training/lectures. KK was actually the young blond boy who went to prison for the ATM robbery. He's now a responsible business owner making a lot of money legally. I lost track of some of the others. I'm not sure where they are now. I know that Trig is doing well. Thanks for your very kind comments.
@Nawojczyk Steve, thanks for the info. With regard to KK, I'm virtually certain that he (William Pearson) is in prison in Florida. He is in jail on just about the worst charge you can imagine (not murder but probably the next worst). You can find it by looking at the Florida DOC record and searching his name but I am virtually certain that it is him. I hate to see that it led him down that road and feel sorry for the kids that were affected.
Its amazing some of the comments that are posted here. The "wigger" comments are just ridiculous. Like a lot of teenagers, she made a string of mistakes that undoubtedly led to her taking this path. There could have been problems at home that led to her running away and joining these other social misfits in a "gang". Were they a "real" gang? They were a group of youths who had no direction in life, were armed and had little to no respect for society. That in itself made them dangerous.
So, she was already gone by the time the special even came out? Jesus. The whole segment with her and her goofy friends was enough to make me cringe. Just like I thought, most of it was a put-on, trying to act like they were this big gang for the cameras, and it had all disintegrated by the time the show even aired. Hahah. What an embarrassment to human life these people are. Where are the rest of her lame-as friends, anyone know? Trig, and that other chick, and the guy w/ the hot mom?
2:52 she says she got out like she was really in a true gang well hate to break it to you Taz that was not a real gang it was a bunch of mismatch kids with no other friends hangin out like she said they all went there own ways well if they were a real gang it wouldn't be like that
I'd still fuck her
