4:35 pm

4:38 pm
not the legal as long as they didn't hold the mind going against the well, the many of the vigilantes say they of us to ins and to force in iraq or afghanistan. the americans that lead to tim, fairly used to work in construction that move to the border of to the 2008 financial crisis. an audit fine if donald trump, he says he even travel to washington on january the 6th 2021, but didn't take posts in the attack on the capital of the founding fathers. the constitution is easy to follow. they made its short, quick, simple. it's to protect us against the government. if they become too tyrannical, they're pushing the the area draws okay,

4:40 pm
at the house of the 2nd dimensions, right. 2 bedrooms is the idea to well regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free states. but this constitutional phrasing is state in the united states, historical racism, the historian, gen, if acosta and the origins of militias a closely linked to slavery, the at that time the state militia was the slave patrol. so if the federal government, by virtue of the us constitution didn't protect a states rights have alicia, or in other words, have a slave patrol that could fundamentally undermine the system of slavery. that was part and parcel of the united states. adage, county, the, there was lots and lots of concern about labor value and about insurrection,
4:41 pm
about the idea that in slaves, peoples would understandably rebel. and so without a sleeve control, there was a lot of fear among ways that um, that this whole system wouldn't be in the 18th century. um, diminishes in force, usually knows. in $1861.00 whites fee is if the results were realized. then black preaching, not 10, uh let a bloody insurrection against white slave holders diminishes revenge swiftly followed to now was hind more than a 100 of the slaves killed the thread was med really with an extreme show of force. and so we see this not just in terms of the brutality of slave patrols, but also the brutality of, of white supremacist militias in the aftermath of the civil war. so the ku klux
4:42 pm
klan, we see this in the context of lynch mobs. and then of course, we see this all the way until the so called self defense shootings in which, um, you know, we have african americans and people of color being gone down. these are very much imbedded in the racial politics of the united states. the use of documented cases show a deadly packing of police violence against the black circle. in 2016 for alondo test aisle was shot dead in his car to a ring, a traffic stop the 2020 brianna taylor was killed by police in her apartment in the middle of the night. in the same yes. 3 white men shots a mode operate. well, he was joking. killings that shook the country and sparked protest. so now
4:43 pm

4:44 pm
goal of preserving, i'm protecting the community, the we're probably about 14000000 ask americans world nationwide here in the us that haven't guns. now, that's a lot of folks. 14000000 the pandemic to me was the, the line and the saying that combine with the political and racial tension that you have in the country right now. i'm not gonna call it a renaissance. we're asking americans, i'm gonna call it in a wakening because we've never had this many black folks in the united states having guns at the same time. free as an african american tv show by the twins because you over there. the worst thing that i can do is to say, you know what, i don't deserve this got my ancestors, harriet tubman, the buffalo soldiers, the tuskegee air, and the black panthers of self defense, the deacons of defense, not turn all those black men and women,
4:45 pm
and many many more and many more organizations they, they die for nothing. the one thing we should do after a black person a shot is the next day we also carry. historically asking americans have been given this socialization that we do not need to have guns. we're the only community ethically in the world that believe that that is think about that statement. you don't need guns to protect yourself, but everyone else around you has guns. what kind of crazy, mental state do you have to be to believe that? and people wonder why, okay, why are blackman being attacked on a sunday after looking at houses and jogging in 3 white guys, drop by in the truck and jump out and, and, and beat him up and shoot him. why does that happen? because we continue to act like we are, it's okay to be a soft target. statistically in comparison to the white counts of pods. black males in america are 18 times more likely to be injured
4:46 pm
by a gun. and 12 times more likely to be killed with the flying around you . it can new jersey. the city sits just across the river from new york count as long suffered from high rates of poverty and crime. nearly haul, says new ex, approximately 300000 residents of black gun. those in new jersey are among the strictest in the country, and the state test, one of the lowest rates of fly around dest cities, like music, all the exception. here on average, someone dies from gun violence every day. the intensive k units at university hospital in newark treats many gunshot victims this is where the shown where the fault for his knife. the hey, talk to stephanie bonnie: is the true massage and who helped save him or do this? i guess i see how you doing
4:47 pm
this isn't a lot for me. so how are you feeling today? like, how are things going to be so you had to re thread the surgery from when you guys close up the stomach. yeah. so much or can i take a look? can i see what the bed? sure. all right, the plastic. see. oh, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice asian. did you have the cost? me remind me. yeah, this is the bullet. yeah. okay. so much there at the mustang. i'm here so so you had this one here. he was hit by 6 split, steering a notification. one of them into the major author in his optimum, he badly survived crossed this big artery in vain. so originally, so he's had his belly put back together and that's where we took skin to cover other places. when we 1st did it, there was so much swelling in his belly that we left them open and then we put skin

4:49 pm
a lot of people don't realize or understand what happens after somebody gets shot. were very good at sort of counting the number of people who die. but there's really very little attention paid to the people that are shot and survive. and that's a lot to a lot of people. um and so a lot of times people are never really the same. they might have all kinds of injuries that they can never recover from. some people may require imputation. they might have bad hernias. they might need cost to me bags to all kinds of things that are really life changing. gun violence looks like an infectious disease that looks like the flu. sometimes you know, one person gets it and then the next person, the next person in the next person. and given the volume that we see,
4:50 pm
that the number of people that are affected is absolutely can be characterized as an academic gun violence isn't limited to the in the city. it is alone being wide spread throughout the country. jacksonville, florida is no exception. the here 2 guns often children and test families to pump the crystal. tanner last 2 if have 4 children to guns while and now she's raising her 2 grandchildren. the boy was 5 where he had just her 5 that february and royce was

4:52 pm
to get revenge the teenage process. now what with her, in the office parking lot, really have a send shots, janae, endo now with a 9 millimeters pistol. the after that chris told to advise you to self to the guns safety movement. she also organized through self help groups with parents of magic children. so we can go make this hard. we just don't talk. we all are dealing with with that last looks like for us individually. and so that's really our topic today. what is that experience being like for you?
4:53 pm
and how has the changed you and brought you to this place that we're all standing them today? because of downside, what are the things that i learned to join this q after you sit on the couch, after all the cameras are going to, all the people are gone, you're in the room by yourself. so now you say, do i, i roll into a fetal position to stay in the bid. so we set a time, what do i get out on the street and make something to happen and make sure that everybody in the world knows you're chat. june davis was just 17 years old. when 45 year old michael dunn shall see him to death as a loud music for guy, the driver to a gas station, mike with windows and tell the kids and the music loud music bothered him. so he decided that was enough and he reaches into his local farm,

4:55 pm
about the guns because the gun manufacturers. okay. they making trillion dollars, where they spend the most money, they send it to congress, they send it to the senate. they sent it to all these people that make the law. keep the guns floor. yeah. that money. yep. american gun make has a strong thing or so the operators of arizona's gun site academy. that's good news. the after 5 days the intensive training cost is coming to a close. the participants put them marksmanship, to the test. the

4:57 pm
different things. first and foremost, let me say thank you. thank you for being safe. when you go out of the range, again, you find the young person. there was a young people in here, we need more. we more the young people who the defenders of our constitution are. bill arrives to sacramento and you teach these young people to be responsible with firearms. they are going to be responsible with drinking and driving and dating and life in general brands. and i'll see you back again. sorry. the, the american mis face, family, homeland, and weapons to self defense. but with each new victim, the american dream defense deep into an american catastrophe. the
