Ex-Gang Member to NBC: You Got Me My Ass Kicked!

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.

18. #6 Unfortunately for you, this "Mexican" is most likely an American of Mexican descent. The only place to kick his ass to is to prison here in the US where he was born and raised. If he is an illegal immigrant he needs to be on the next plane out.

What would your solution have been for the white guy who shot up people in that mall in Nebraska? Deport him to.....???? Whatever white country his grandparents migrated from? You and #9 put the double "O" in STOOPID. Some Mexican Americans have been in the US longer than the US has existed as a nation.

I have no mercy for a person who decides to join a gang, be a snitch, and then try to sue. I think he's smarter than #6 & #9.

20. I am so amazed with Today's "gang members. fellows ,you wont experience "a life" again. Deciding to select in and out of jail and brutal gang life instead, fascinates the hell out of me. Life is too dam short to participate in" hell on earth" guys. Man, It's great to watch and listen to these guys explain why they do it. I'm sorry, I like having sex with a women(everyday) too much to have any interested in " prison gang " life, but that's just me.

21. Sammy Davis said it 30 years ago-- "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time."

Dude made his choice to run with a gang-- he also made a choice to interview for television.

I'd like him to see his day in court-- just so I can see how high he and his lawyer bounce when the case gets thrown out.

btw, "inanity" isn't a typo-- check it out

24. I moved down to Florida from Chicago about a year ago because of all the young dumb gangs. I recently went to Chicago to see my family for Thanksgiving and there was literally 2 young punks running to my rental car throwing the Latin King sign to me and wanting me to roll down the window. I will tell you they were 5 seconds away from getting run over by the rental car. These kids are trash and have nothing better to do. Of coarse this was in Little Village (another name for Mexico) and I guess I should have expected this to happen. We should put a border fence around this community.
P.S. I was only in that are to see a friend who worked in a dental office in that area otherwise you will not catch me over there ever. Burn that area down!!!

30. He should consider himself lucky. If he were in the Mafia, Tony Soprano would have made fish food out of him.
