disciples provided protection for him in school. he eventually became a member himself and discovered his disability provided no protection from violence. i got stabbed five times to my head with a flathead screw driver. this was from that too. i got stabbed 12 times in my back, it punctured a lung, that was from a rival gang member. i got a big chunk out of my stomach and large intestine. getting stabbed is worse than getting shot. it s searing. you feel that blade go in and out. i d rather get shot than stabbed. [ laughter ] another gang member, danell hill, could now have a disability as well. he s recovering in the jail s medical clinic following an assault by rival gang member row rogelio soto. the doctor said loss of vision, but other than that, everything s fine. two days earlier, surveillance cameras captured
everybody s dpoeg to going to have an edge somehow. blind siding them, throw coffee in their face, nothing is a fair fight. coming up, rogelio soto and danell hill speak out about the attack. hashtag stuffy nose. hashtag no sleep. hashtag mouthbreather. just put on a breathe right strip. it instantly opens your nose up to 38% more than cold medicine alone. shut your mouth and say goodnight mouthbreathers. breathe right.
after surenos gang member row giglio solo threw coffee in the face of danell hill, the staff decided to update their intelligence files on him. when it comes to gang members, that involves documenting tattoos. most are proud of their tattoos, it means something to them and their fellow gang members. they could represent anything, which sub set they belong to, to past criminal acts. today deputies will have a closer look at soto s ink. he told us he was a southside sureno. and he has the ss tattoo on the back for south side, i m guessing. but that s a 2009 picture. who knows what he has now. he s probably got updated since then. yeah. sergeant woodson and corporal simmons then pay a visit to soto s cell, to see if he s acquired any new tattoos and if he will consent to photographs. i see you got some ink on your stomach. can i see it?
one minute and 35 seconds later, deputies swarm the unit. the action is caught on a body camera. break it up! i had a taser out ready, in case he did not comply. deputy took the suspect to the floor. he s complying at this time. . hill is removed from the unit and escorted by the sheriff and deputies to the jail s medical clinic. this stuff is burning. i know, we re going to clean you up. what s your name, sir? hill. danell hill. after medical staff provides treatment for his burns, he s taken to a local hospital for observation. soto injured his thumb and wrist and had them wrapped. sergeant link attempted to find out the cause of the fight and was not surprised by the results. they all say, we don t know what happened. they don t want the talk. it s between the inmates, and no one will ever talk about it. ain t no such thing as a fair fight in here.
he s seeing well out of it. we re not concerned about it. it s the eye that s he s having loss of vision in that we re concerned about. can you see light? i can see two of them. he s going to need close follow-up to make sure his eye heals and that he has his best chances to have full function down the road. this doesn t even hurt? no, it s just a burn. despite his injuries, hill says he will not press charges against soto. can t tell. tell, that will follow you. pressing charges will get you in trouble. it s just the way it is. it comes with the lifestyle. what i know of that lifestyle, there s usually retaliation. could be. donnell hill. who? donnell hill. all right. you don t know the man you threw hot coffee on and beat up? no.
