Get this. A gang member is suing the big peacock because he got beat up -- by gang members? Oh, the inanity!
An ex-member of the Latin Kings street gang is suing NBC and Telemundo, claiming they are responsible for two beatdowns he received for showing his face on TV. TMZ has obtained the lawsuit, filed in a Chicago court, in which Richard Sendejas alleges Telemundo producers tricked him into doing an interview about gang life by telling him his face and tattoos would be covered. I cut you -- out!
According to the suit, Sendejas broke the Latin Kings strict "silence to the outsiders" code when he appeared on the show "Rocio." In response, LKs allegedly kicked his ass, twice, landing him a guest appearance in a Chicago hospital.
The suit seeks over $500,000 in damages.

Second lesson, they got deep pockets.....
he broke the code, he had to pay the price. if you don't like the rules, then don't play!
what an idiot.
Stupid for joining a gang in the first place and even stupider for not moving in the first place after the first beating.
Oh well!
I'm no gang expert, but from what we hear and read it would seem more likely that he would have been killed in a very creative fashion rather than just "beat down" twice.
Jus sayin'......
Give him 500,000 pesos and kick his ass back south of the border with the rest of the illegals!
First lesson, never join a gang.

I'm Mexican. I'm from Chicago. This idiot & everyone knows from gang-infested areas that the ALKN rules are not to ever be broken. For Rocio? What a moron. How dumb are you? He deserved the beat down. I wonder if this is a scam him and this gang are in? To basically have more money to fund their corrupt operations. Probably.
Inanity: Something empty of meaning or sense
yep, that about sums it up.
#7 G o back to meico and take the stupid gangs with ya.
He probably wants the money so he can do a reggaeton video and become a beat freak star.
