#2 I was told that I would get Good Mike on the show, but instead, I was subjected to the insensitivity of Mike Wallace, a 60 Minutes film crew, and a parishioner who was there to interview me. In the end, Wallace turned to a gang member and asked him why he didn’t turn to the police. The boy just stared at him.

#4 To the homies, firme means, could not be one bit better. Not only does God think we’re firme, it is God’s joy to have us marinate in that.
