My friend with whom I saw this thought he was a thug and a creep and she expressed some empathy for him after seeing it.

A documentary in most cases has a point of view. And the point of view here is sympathetic. Although it is made perfectly clear that this man has done bad things to people. He talks about how, in a street fight, you need to almost kill someone because if they get up, they could come back with a gun. He's obviously been there, done that.

On the other hand, his story has elements of tragedy. He was a kid with nothing, no real family, just raw talent and many people used his talent and took as much as they could for as long as they could. He comes off as sad, alone, isolated. I felt empathy for him as well.
