Street dudes have loved ones just like civilians. Loved ones include homies and in some cases rivals who they may have formed bonds with while incarcerated.
Also, many of them grew up with each other from the sandbox. Many of them are also significant others, husbands, baby daddies, uncles, cousins parents and grandparents. Many of them have a genuine love for their hood and homies and receive genuine love in return...
It may seem strange to some, but after listening to some street dudes on SM platforms sharing their stories, it gave me a greater understanding of their lifestyle, point of view, perspective, etc...
