In this episode 3 of Streets and Scholars with Alex Alonso and Frank "FG" Thornton, we discuss a new program between USC and Long Beach City College that is looking to enroll gang members into college, and they discuss the definition of a snitch or a rat, looking at several examples including Boskoe100, Kenyal Brown from Detroit, former drug kingpin, Ricky "Freeway" Ross, and a Los Angeles County prisoner that helped prosecute Lee Baca and Paul Tanaka of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department.
