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

Posted Dec 7th 2007 1:35PM by TMZ Staff

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.

32. Hmmmm, a gangbanger who got shot by his gang? I bet that a release either on camera, or on paper will pop up and kill this lawsuit.

Oh lookie! More lies from fly! What a surprise. Yeah fly, what don't you cry to the blow up Harvey doll about how mean I've been to you today! Oh, that's right, it's an imaginary friendship you have with TMZ. Prove me wrong if it isn't, because I'm not buying the bull you're shoveling.

36. As much I hate to say it but if this guy can prove that the deal was broken like he said it was,the lawsuit can be liable for a hearing or even for trial and actually get some money in his pocket but the money won't last much. He is going to need alot of security after the trial if he ever gets there alive....Good Luck dude.....TMZ just got you another beating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

38. What a disgusting and pathetic group of animals you are. You make me ashamed to be an American. Go ahead and hate all you want. Just keep it to or among yourselves. Some people don't necessarily feel the same way.

I think you all are just jealous b/c they are willing to take the jobs you wouldn't take anyway!

39. Hello, to all of you people who hate mexicans. Hope you never need anything from us except the middle finger.

40. #19 couldn't agree with you more. Trouble is most americans do not realize we were here before many of them or their ancesters were here. They conveniently forget that CALIFORNIA, TEXAS, NEVADA, COLORADO, ARIZONA, FLORIDA AND NEW MEXICO WAS ONCE MEXICO. DON'T BELIEVE,,, OPEN UP A HISTORY BOOK. One more thing, since most americans believe that mexicans invented gangs....Mafia, irish gangs, chinese and let's not forget black gangs. But, oh yeah, I forget, they never existed.

41. #19 and to the rest of you who hate because of color of the skin. Do your homework. CALIFORNIA, TEXAS, NEVADA, ARIZONA, FLORIDA, NEW MEXICO, AND COLORADO WAS MEXICO. PLEASE READ YOUR HISTORY BOOKS AND DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU START YOUR NAME CALLING. Mexicans were already here, many of us did not have to cross the border. Likewise, there are educated people in our heritage just like there are some who choose another path. Are all white or black people as clean as the driven snow? Whtat about the Mafia or irish gangs...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmjust wondering.
