it was like you know it was a shocker but we came to get. the second one it was odd but we still came to get it in a day when everybody just seemed just split up. one thing we do as citizens one thing we tend to do is dehumanised human beings so we talk in terms of how many people were murdered norms 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 them each day is listed on a board with the name of the person their age 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 a school where they deal in drugs and you don't know if you look at that board. ah ah. he was hit like it was. like my. shah sometimes i look at our little church and 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. the load.

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 in five separate shootings in new orleans and jefferson parish and 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 a 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 tolerate us. children have to see this day after day. and it. and one nine hundred sixty new orleans 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 is 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 jail and in blood gunshots in the back of his head he was announced dead on arrival there are no witnesses.

shirts are the most popular item they give us or when a person passed away it's like giving follows this basically to remember that person to show that this was my friend this was my loved one the day he died the next morning in the shop and you go to church every day until that person is better dressed. when you hold a shirt you write you were sometimes. hurt 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 words 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 for every old 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 engines. 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 wish they were babies when he was killed it was 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 that 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 talent show i can just remember that the people on t.v.

saying and they sounded 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 what sounds like an explosion that pop pop pop but boom boom the whole house shakes he shook me was like my get up shoot ninja mangas 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 in his chest behind his ear a died instantly in the core and then and then you know left with the blood on the sidewalk the neighbors 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. feel. magri is a high school she likes documented life video cam i want to let you guys see. how hard i'm trying to get to my goal. i want to be a courier so you know that's not going to be easy this going to be tough challenges in life but i really want to be a congressman i know what it takes to get and i'm striving for you know stand on a road of what it takes right now in this moment the struggles are similar to many

teams i'm mad it's extremely frustrating visitation all i want to do is just do this right but sometimes just want to just do that simple thing simple attached to this right just kind of no more you know especially when you get kids churning so you're in the teachers trying to make you feel stupid about you raising your hand x. and the question you know matt took a video camera to school to record a class was not always right if you're a student or my question oh i'm anybody. and it was. somebody you know i can hear it when it was a. you know his dad if i knew where he. was going to be now what you want to. do you know continue to throw p.t.'s meet

somebody who is younger you know you know make you keep us. all in this course is basically like waiting for the teacher to. know what it was all of this. and you know what we're looking at teacher get a girl if you're looking at you you're not missing out on years ago even to webster . next to the sentiment behind the tire what is a missile pad new. you know look even dated going to go. right in my neighborhood a market will hear what it is know that. you know what a missile got to me you know what i did. and what the ancient near east of the earth. could. tell me about. for our part of what got a little bit of real may have made

you know there's one thing that i still can't understand i said i don't want to ruin your good mood but i have this one question when doing this all for you that you had everything that they respect and so easy that you give them all up in the senate to go your way but what for. it was a latent form he tried to restrain himself but look at all the first out anyway.

if it really puts me off that i have such a father. it was one small but very great secret that i have to live with for his. have been many changes to the public school system in the last few years but classes like math are still common 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 .

they grab a certain neighborhood make you feel like you need something to protect yourself and you know this is not going to take you these days because you came points above all no fighting want i mean this is my fight is in school mike we can get out of 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 in. the negative but it's something that they get respect from the chapel both you have a k forty seven. we can recall in the chapel i will say a gun is way easier to get than to take food now here looking for a cellar like. well like beds and boil about then the textbooks are way more expensive to get to some people to get it from for. some time most of the time maybe a little but you have to order them online and stuff like this you can just walk

fifteen hundred homes and be easy like i have friends that it might have been murdered thirty years and i see the amount of the some papers he had on like classics like i didn't really feel may not be like i really figured to i might be afraid to name my style name in air but i might be afraid in the end run lost in the fray i just want to see if they became like a duck it was a really no bystander no by really doing in a like manner in my up to remember the night and like i did what happened and i'm like man where by the cave feel like. they had a gun shop it was on the borderline of like new orleans and jefferson parish called elliot's and it was sold as may you get can just this was not paradise a lot of hunting going only it is normal and then in the wheezy the last you must be twenty want to buy hand but you can buy a hunting rifle at the age of eighteen assault rifle falls into the hung rival category so if you have look class s.k.f. is an eighty one hundred eighteen out of no use i didn't say you eighteen to buy

bill through out the list of might be to get it up as a case of. when you were black in the cell for twenty three hours i do need to get one hour of free therapy. so how do they make you feel. i don't want to cage them and they are like their native and i said no and they're told to sell just get it how you live don't you think that is one of the most extreme examples of the city's arrest mentality is a story of kevin griffin very first run in with the first offense ten years old never done anything remotely has been i got a lot of fights as a kid you know with other children but never so this exploring and kevin was a key he was cornered by three bullies he broke a bottle to defend themself and the show it blinded one of the boys kevin was arrested and tried for attempted murder my legal came to court drunk every b. he greet the alcohol every time so i didn't have

a great defense kevin served five years in a two lou you prison and not the wheezing and it was a lot of that a lot of thinking going on you know is like wind me a lot and then by me being a christian it was like a lot of tall going to. meet next mason because like i'm ten and i'm sitting here say oh. i'm so. all i can run circles around kevin into the place more brutal than the place he left behind a lot of abuse by guards a lot of chaos among among the four inmates there as well but a lot of the stem from the abuse from from the guards if you years have to kevin's release to lou prison was closed down for mistreatment of makes by the department of justice what assistance from the juvenile justice project of louisiana you know there's a lot of misconceptions about what are the most effective ways to reduce juvenile crime or to improve public safety across the board well we too often see is putting
