OC woman tells local gang members to join the military and go to war

A roughly 94-second selfie video of a woman with long red braided hair, a red flower in her hair and a black hoodie, filmed in a dimly lit room with red lighting. She talks straight to the camera, telling Orange County gang members to join the Air Force, try out for the Navy SEALs or enlist in the military rather than carry guns on the street. She also mocks gang members who play Call of Duty at home. Juice Unlocked's version frames the clip beside the Orange County seal and a photo of a soldier, under the headline "Woman calls for all Orange County gang members to get drafted into the war!"

An Orange County woman had a blunt message for local gang members: if you want to carry a gun, join the military. Juice Unlocked shared her selfie video on March 2, 2026.

"I just wanted to advise all the gang members in Orange County," she says at the start of the roughly 94-second clip. From there she runs through the options: join the Air Force, try to become a Navy SEAL or join the military, whatever it takes.

What she says

She calls out gang members who sit at home playing Call of Duty but carry real guns outside, and who post their people with guns "like, every day." "Why don't you take your homies and go to war?" she says.

She also waves off the idea that they couldn't handle it. If they aren't fit enough, she says, the military will have them doing more than 100 sit-ups, 100 burpees and 100 push-ups. And if they don't know what to do, the military will tell them.

“I just wanted to advise all the gang members in Orange County.”

Preaching or reaching?

Juice Unlocked put the question to its followers: "Is she PREACHING or REACHING?" They had plenty to say. The post drew more than 5,500 likes and nearly 1,500 comments on Instagram.

The caption tags the Instagram account @sweets_dabrat. The woman does not give her name in the video.
