Is it ironic that...

A young 20y.o. male is the ORIGINAL FOUNDER of a violent street gang involved in violent crime, including murder. After caught and convicted of his crimes, he is sentenced to a long prison term. Now in his late 40s, he has wisdom that allows him to see the ways of a better life. He speaks out against gangs and gang violence. As a result of his loud proclamations against the gangs, the very gang he founded has now ordered his death.
