https://youtu.be/dnS72s5W8IkThe actress playing the grandma is one of the three who was killed for her participation in helping Olmos in this film. You can't be a rat. The Mexicans have a code they live by similar to the Italians. And at that time gang banging was at its peak. There were so many drive by's in the early 1990's that the county judges would lock up anyone affiliated with a gang until they were 25 years old. They pretty much locked up a whole generation. It was so bad that La M called a meeting to tell all the gang leaders around Orange County, to stop doing drive by's. No more bloodshed.
