Part 1: Alex Sanchez on Fleeing El Salvador & Getting Jumped into MS-13, Details Gang's Origins
--------
Alex Sanchez delved into a dark chapter of his life, recounting his early brushes with the law, including a bet with a friend on who would land in prison first. Sanchez shared his initial fear and isolation when sent to a juvenile facility after a violent altercation involving a screwdriver. The gang-dominated environment fueled rivalries and forced Sanchez to fend for himself, where not fighting could label one as a “punk,” a fate that jeopardized one's standing in their neighborhood.
At 17, he faced another law encounter with a gun charge, followed by a grand theft auto case at 19, which he didn't contest to bolster his gang credibility. This distorted reality led to a bizarre bet with a friend about who would reach prison first, ultimately won by his friend by a mere week. Reflecting on the ignorance of such decisions, Sanchez lamented the absence of positive guidance in his youth, highlighting the narrow and destructive paths often visible in gang-influenced neighborhoods.
