on the streets respect is a big deal a lot of times that's all you have if
another man tries to trample that you take it real personally
I let's get ready to rock for street beefs the rules are simple two fighters
three rounds no biting no eye gouging no groins no throat chops no cursing don't
insult the fighters and obviously no drugs alcohol or filming thanks y'all and
whoever wins they got the honor in the dispute salt how you feeling brother pretty
good three pumps up these guys are really angry with each other and if these
guys didn't come here and solve it with gloves they may end up killing each other
are you ready for street beefs here we're going to go to the Northfield where
homeboy got shot here's some verb Virginia it's a small town in the Shenandoah
Valley it's kind of like the tale of two cities this little street used to be
wild this was once labeled the meth capital of the United States back when
I used to sell drugs back in the late 90s I went to that building right there
you got what the outside world would know about that it's a college town then
you got what's on my side of the tracks which is more drugs more crime more
despair so this what we going up on now is Kelly Street the police have put
cameras up here because of all the drug and gang activity murders have happened
over here because of the access to guns and beefs combined a lot of shit get
settled with guns what's up buddy all right brother late on a couple days
before fight day I usually go out on the streets talk to people try to find out
who's beef and what do so we're going to talk to a mod he's got a beef with
another guy named Diamante hopefully me and him can get him to the yard and get
it solved there he is so what's the beef over exactly a girl that I liked for a
while and she liked me too but it just he would just interrupt and jump it in I
heard in the street that it's pretty serious like y'all been beefing for a
while yeah and he just like pull the gun on my face and he's like stay the f away
from her beefs over women can be the worst beefs recently three murders here
and here somewhere all three of them happen over women and I knew all three
guys it's imperative to get them to settle it so what happened man I heard
he was going around talking a lot of crap that he treated her better we both
know what street beef is told him to sign up let's do it it's good that y'all
gonna bring to the yard just no guns that's what we want to avoid in these
situations you don't know who's telling the truth but I'm pretty sure that both
of that guns involved at one point a man who feels like the only way he can
approach something is with a gun has some fear deep down he does when I was
younger I wouldn't have a problem using a gun but I always still was the guy
that preferred to fight I started boxing first at youth detention my mother was
a drug addict when I was five years old our three-story house caught on fire
because she was drunk as you can see I got the burns car here you can see I
got it on my stomach too and they started calling me Scarface my brother
died in the house fire it was times when I felt guilty like maybe if I had been
stronger I could have got to him and he'd still be alive there was something
that I had a hard time dealing with and I got into real hardcore drug abuse I was
all around stealing robbing when I was 16 I was stabbed in the throat here's
where I had a tracheotomy went to prison I was a bad person but when my
children came that made me realize that I had to change the boxing symbolizes
life struggles that's right it makes you tough good because over on my side of
town life is cheap the deadly shooting here this afternoon and shattering a
cold and quiet Christmas Eve here in Harrisonburg the victim for main Turner
he was sitting on the stoop waiting on a son to come out and the guy just came
up and open fire shot him in the back he bled out right there in the parking
spot right in front of his child I was so furious that that had happened to a
guy that I know was a good-hearted good guy pissed me off so bad it's unlike yo
man what makes you think that you get any kind of respect for shooting
somebody just put your hands up and fight that was the the light bulb moment
each month we actively recruit people who have beefs bringing these guys over
here to stop them from shooting killing beating each other am I encouraging
violence where maybe there wouldn't be any this is what I've always said humans
have been fighting since Jesus walk this earth that's a fact there you go
there's certain people that's how they're why they're gonna fight no matter
what I do the only difference is at least with me they're fighting in a
yard with gloves and referee and regulations 75 80% of the people who
fight over here it don't escalate any further and there's a mutual respect
formed afterwards thank you so much appreciate everybody come but this is
not easy we're heading out now to a Hawkins Street which is one of the
rougher streets in the area we're getting ready to meet with Jerome he
said he's got a beef what a dude named Theo who has a reputation for shooting
and stabbing people around here it's been in the paper a lot the news a lot
and we have definitely want to try to get this beef to the yard as opposed to
dealing with this guy in the street what's up with y'all like what's the
problem what happened hold me a steak from last year and ain't trying to pay
I mean a thousand dollars not 20 dollars you know that's my rent right there
I mean is he giving you any reason why not ban you he's just basically
fucking been in shoes and in the month when it's all talking shit about like
just be ducking talking about stretching like you understand my life too
valuable I'm saying I ain't trying to go out like that but he talking about pulling
guns and shit I gotta be careful you I'm saying I'm a fella in probation you
know can't have any trouble right now I got 10 years over my head you know I'm
saying so if I can take it to the backyard they can't do a damn thing
about that you know I can't get in no trouble for that I can beat his mother
ass and walk away be happy Jerome and Theo have records both have been locked
up when you got a record you're always one foot back in jail already
yeah so what's good man you ready to do this yeah it's gonna be tough to get
Theo's in the yard he's a hothead we gonna try our best but I'm bringing this
just in case all right they call Theo Teflon Ted due to the fact of him being
charged with multiple attempted murder charges and going to trial and beating
it every time when you're walking up on somebody who's angry anything could
happen they could shoot you jump you anything that happens so it's always a
huge risk he should be in the front I just seen him he's standing back there
and I don't trust him so let's go ahead and walk walk around in case we got to
get back to the whip yeah bros where he was just standing right here yeah yeah
yeah he ain't with us yeah yeah what's up with this yo we're not here to do a
fight here bruh that's not what this is about we coming to talk cuz I want to
fight you in the yard it ain't on no beef and y'all got bats and everything so
you really thought that I would set this up to get him jumped we just here to
talk to try to negotiate y'all to the yard that's it bro that's it or just the
thing about the yard I don't give a I'm not gonna fight fair I don't give a
that's why I brought my knickers I'm not gonna fight fair you see I'm saying I'm
not gonna fight fair if I want to gouge his eyes I hit him in the nuts call me a
bitch or whatever I'm gonna do that and nobody gonna be 30 seconds get up 20
seconds get up I'm not fighting in the yard okay so let's try to at least get
y'all to squash it man both y'all know if it continue on this path somebody
going to jail and somebody getting hurt if it stops running around saying that I
owe him money then we can squash it it's that simple look man look you know what
about a year and a half ago right doing bad doing doing horrible right so I
mean this was on some street shit somehow money exchange hands I paid in
the back everything's a scene I get this good-ass job I cop one or two whips
can you see me more and more progress oh that owes me money come on man that's
bullshit come on bro so he lying he's lying exactly exactly these two out of
everybody that I've ever solved a beef with these would be the two that it
needs to get solved with because they they will hurt each other
oh this shit for me is all about respect because I know that the substance of
the beef is bullshit the fact that he's running his mouth and talking about me
saying something that's not true about me is is what really pisses me off I have
a reputation and a lot of people think that reputation is is is old and
they want and something that gives people name they want to try it they say oh
well he did that but he's not about that no more so let me go ahead and get a
name off of this dude or make it a come-up off of this dude because he has
that reputation if I do that then I'm gonna get more respect if I let one
person do it then there's gonna be 10 people doing it so I might as well nip
it in the butt when one person is doing it that way ain't gotta worry about the
next 10 guys out here trying to show a name for it so I'm not gonna allow that
to happen feels definitely dangerous there's no question about that but I
know from experience there's a lot more to the story let's go a while back he
ended up fighting my backyard
any law after that he wants to save some face and just have that real tough
attitude and pick fights out in the streets where he can have friends and
weapons so I don't feel confident that he's gonna come over and fight we think
I should do with their own reason I should actually think I should glove up or I just catch him you got too much to lose
yeah if he worth it that's the catch well that's how I be feeling yeah you
feel what I'm trying to say I mean I have a hard time letting go I mean when I
sit back and think about it in hindsight I mean I guess I was acting dumb this
morning but I mean I've been known to be extremely violent but I got the kids
should think about you see this
we're flashing your money one two three let's stack right there let's stack
right there that should let me feel disrespected respect's important you
know I'm saying like a friendship relationship other people it don't matter
if you got respect for somebody else that go a long way and then once you lose
your respect you know something like your credit score right you know I'm
saying when you go to the bank your credit score low you know I'm getting a
loan and that's that's how it is but if you're credit score high you know I'm
saying you got a good credit rating you got like what a 750 800 parking place
you know you want you must have to the yard I'm gonna be pissed cause he stole
me money but he'll gain a little bit of respect for stepping up with me I'll call
it even I don't want to be worried about the money I want to see him in the
office I've never been a fan of cops their approach is you got a gun we'll lock
you up but that still doesn't get your anger out ever since we started fighting
in the club law enforcement for the most part has responded positively and I've
had multiple cops come up and say dude I like what you're doing I was I was proud
of that I really do hope that these guys can after this just squash the beat
yo what up hey thanks for coming I'm gonna get y'all together and we gonna try
to squash this thing the right way you know you with that all right appreciate
you man as a man I feel like you know I showed up you showed up let's get in
the ring let's go I got my shorts on I got my shirt on so I'm ready to go me
business right now you know saying got me bottle water you know say they all
come down the hell no if you want to throw hands or throw hands you gonna pay
me let's give me faith so we put it behind us yeah I was ready to rock so
listen we got some hotheads in the yard so if there was ever a day there might
be a fight it's today just keep your eyes open I got the Jordanian nightmare
weighing 185 pounds I got narrows way way 230 pounds ladies and gentlemen are
you ready for Street Beast
25 seconds 25 seconds
he's got 15 seconds 15 seconds four three two one
hey I go to the season Jordanian the nightmare
if I see him in the street if I'm alone I have enough from 10 buzzer respect the
fact that he came in here and he decided to solve deal with me in the yard it
means a lot to me
so how are you feeling we got to settle what we had not gonna say he's the
better man but I'll be back you fought hard brother listen I ain't just saying
it's cuz your mother you're he the toughest kid I've ever seen I can't do
nothing but respect it so you feel it done and over with for now and that's
done over with for now thank you brother hey Theo
Jerome we gonna step up to the train tracks and talk real quick my goal is
to settle beefs we don't always got to fight though to settle the beef Theo's
not into fighting but I may at least be able to get them to get together and
agree to squash this somehow I feel like there's a misunderstanding personally
but I know y'all is as heated about it sometimes monkeys be beefing and neither
one of them is wrong they both are right in one way or another so near one of
y'all got to be wrong I'm gonna step in and pay what he feels you owe him and
then we can squash I'm doing that just to stop the bush because that's what we
supposed to do anyways that's what we stand for so I mean could y'all squash
it if I do that but can y'all actually walk away and not say nothing else
about each other that's what I'm saying because what's gonna start it again is
the talking you get your bread one way or another you down to just say you to
get the paper get in the yard either way I'm down to get a paper I know y'all
angry at least dap up and let's walk away no more beef I appreciate it I showed
up today because Scarface asked me to show up and I want to settle this
problem the most responsible way as opposed to the way I was trying to
settle it earlier because it could be serious repercussions later that's what
we do even if it stops two martyrs a year that's two lives that were saved it
feels good to be the good guy for once because I ain't always been that positive
if I can spend the rest of my life being seen as positive that's the goal
