"I Had A Gun Pulled To My Head" -Abdullah Al-Kidd 146 | 9/11 Arrest, Prison & Gangs of Los Angeles

<p>Abdullah, an American citizen, was arrested in 2003 under the federal material witness statute, which permits the government to detain individuals with crucial testimony in a criminal case if they might flee. Though never charged with a crime, he was held in high-security detention for 16 days and faced court-ordered restrictions for another 15 months. Believing his detention was unlawful, Abdullah sued then–U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, claiming his arrest violated the Fourth Amendment’s protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. He has since settled in Saudi Arabia, where he’s lived for over a decade.</p><p></p><p>0:00 Intro</p><p>2:18 Gunpoint at at 14</p><p>4:54 LA Gangs </p><p>8:29 Eldest Child Pressure</p><p>13:41 SurvivingtheStreets</p><p>16:55 Gangs, Drugs and Rap</p><p>21:09 CripsOriginStory</p><p>24:07 Freemasonry VS Islam</p><p>31:04 9/11Arrest</p><p>39:40 Lawsuit Exile4</p><p>5:00 Law Reform Bias</p><p>51:35 Yemen</p><p>59:00 Prison and Aryan Brotherhood</p><p>1:05:04 PTSD and Purpose</p><p>1:18:48 Classism and Legacy</p>
