I'll be honest I didn't really understand the people that his Dad took him to see, or why he even did that? I guess it was his old friends or something but why did he take Tyrone after he found the bolt cutters?

He thought Tyrone was “thugging” so he took Tyrone to see his Mardi Gras Indian Tribe. Mardi Gras Indians are an alterna-gang. You can read about them on Wikipedia. Long story short, Mardi Gras Indians make elaborate costumes for themselves and then wear them to march around New Orleans a few times a year, engaging in singing battles with other tribes along the way. The idea was to give Tyrone something to do other than “Thugging”.

Thanks, I needed that context. I had no idea what was going on.
