one thing we do as citizens one thing we tend to do is dehumanize human beings so we talk in terms of how many people were murdered annoyance what are the numbers so what do we do about that mindset what do we do to humanize murder the only way that we could think to do it was to name each day is listed on a board with the name of the person they're a judge and how they were killed without respect to where they're from what their color is what they did or did not do for a living whether they graduated or didn't from moscow where they deal in drugs not you don't know if you look at that board. there.

he was hit lightly why. why why there. sha sometimes i look at our little church on our little walls and say you know how much wall space do i have here after a while this will get to look celie and stuff like that i suppose when we look more like maybe milwaukee and a half million people and they killed fifty three people not two hundred fifty. little over. the last ball of. los lobos. the old la.

la la my name is a mia baracoa as a kid growing up in the projects of new orleans i saw shootings like this all the time and eventually committed acts of violence myself at the serving five years in jail i began to help kids to mentor but this story isn't about me this is a story about the environment in which i grew up. a wild night across metro new orleans someone sprays a crowd with bullets as they were leaving a high school basketball game five people good evening and all nine people were shot tonight including an eleven year old to be in five separate shootings in new orleans and jefferson parish a nine year old boys are covering tonight after another drive by shooting in new orleans east it's much like the one where the two year old girl was shot and killed several kids playing in the middle of the afternoon when the gunfire broke out a shooting happened just after seven i was called in the crossfire as

a way that is able to record it was the target shooting. this is a story about what it's like being young and surrounded by father but it's also a story about finding solutions. you tolerate as unable. to watch children have to see this day after day. and it. and one nine hundred sixty s. had his largest population and his smallest murder rate but in the course of fifty years over ten thousand people have been murdered and since two thousand and five more people have been killed than those who lost their lives when the levees broke . at this moment there was a battle being waged each and every day on the streets of new orleans it is a battle for the heart and soul of this great city by the time you wake up tomorrow

morning i will have likely received another message. the worst part of my day that says exactly the same thing mr mayor was sorry to inform you that earlier this evening police officers responded to gunshots when they arrived on the scene they found a young african-american male face day on in blood gunshots in the back of his head he was announced dead on arrival there are no witnesses.

the first script that the browns. dead in all the son's right that culture next one that's a load of crap and over there you know got your next one that's ok i would go to the next one extra room can you i'm a real live people have to be by listening to tell you i'm tom i take children. across the street from the shoot there's a screen printing shop or rest in peace t. shirts are the most popular item they give us or when a person passed away it's like giving flowers just basically to remember that person to show that this was my friend this is my loved one the day he died the next morning in the shop and he will go to church every day until that person is better dressed. similar.

to. when you hold a shirt you write you were sometimes. hurts so much that people don't have words and now it's me to come up with words on x. me to come up with worse our actual what type of person was and from there the designs come from mighty many shops have opened to meet the demands for shirts about twenty all together with a three mile square radius there's not a soul as i basically want to do birthdays from real pains more living than you can survive without the one rest in peace or with your business will never grow because i'm the world's. best for my whole family crest and stressed conditions. he was the quiet person he was the hard work but he worked on the riverfront and he

loved the spin and time with his kids which they were babies when he was killed with one and three he had a nickname goof troop after the the disney character goofy because he always said funny things you know to make people laugh the boys there plays back in my head all the time is like what's wrong with my when i can remember about david is when he's twelve years trying to. scratch records on my little k.-mart stereo hours and hours and hours of david spending at his turntables mixing music and making music i think we were watching like american idol or a talent show i can just remember that the people on t.v. saying in this sound a really bad for van want to go out on his birthday to celebrate with when i was nephew and this car pulled up into a parking lot that was there was nearby and told them to come here. and that's when the nightmare began we hear and it would sounds like an explosion that pop pop pop but boom boom the whole house shakes he shook me he was like my get up shooting and

jermaine got shot and then i looked down and there is my son. lying on the ground there's a hole in his chest where the bullet by and it's test me behind his ear a die instantly in the core and then they know left with the blood on the sidewalk the neighbor the police tape much i was killed for no reason no reason he's saying is that he done it because because my son just was standing there he was going to be a witness somebody here that much power in your life that they woke up and decided another human being would not walk the plane or another day.

movement then walk a little bit they. have been many changes to the public school system in the last few years but cutesy classes like math are still calm students with disciplinary issues may be punished but in many cases the root causes are not address often these problems escalate to violence. and sometimes they're resumed after school where there's greater access to weapons . it grab a certain neighborhood make you feel like you need something to protect yourself and you know if this is not going to take you to these days because you came points above all no fighting wants i mean this is

a lot of fighting in school mike we can get out just any minor just because what i think kids have guns is for all different types of reasons i think perception is the main reason why people have what do you protect yourself. out of a lot of people who. are negative but it's something that they get respect from the chapel both you have. a k forty seven. and we go we call it a chapel i will say a gun is way easier to get than to take food now here you can find a cellar like. well like beds and boil about the textbooks are way more expensive to get to some people get it from for. some time most of the time it be legal but you have to order them online and stuff like this you can just walk into the store and buy and i don't see textbooks like that in wal-mart.
