*The proliferation of Fake Paper, latest victim was American Cholo, after Gunnerz Collective falsely put a chomo jacket on him. Even though he realized he made a mistake and apologized, and realized that the paper work was not valid, what type of damage does this do? The real Chomo was a guy named Jose Tejada, and you can visit the Street TV community board on Youtube for a photo of that guy. Here is a link to the real case that was falsely being linked to American Cholo.
