most imaginative most amount of guy said like no no no but it's on row which is. every time that ben knight barack or do they change me on if that is. good to see somebody and i did in a poll we don't need no bottom for the seed a need to send out a young gays can expose my life it's a lot of. the first that they have been because of violence it was like you know it was a shotgun but we came together. the second one it was odd but we still came to get it and it there when everybody

just seemed just and just split up. one thing we do as citizens one thing we tend to do is to humanize 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 that we could think to do it was to name them. each day is listed on a board with the name of the person they're a church 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 dealing drugs not you don't know if you're at the bit bored. there are some. very. slightly more. well my. shah sometimes i look at our little church or 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. odd.

the oval office. ha. ha or. my name is me of iraq 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 around 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 police. this is a story about what it's like being young and surrounded by family but it's also a story about finding solutions. you tolerate as unable. to tolerate as an adult children have to see this day after day. and it. and one nine hundred sixty new orleans had his largest population and the 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 day on in blood gunshots in the back of his head he was announced dead on arrival there are no witnesses.

the first script. dead in all the son's right that culture next one that's a load of crap and over there you know got to the 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 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 in the shower and you get a shower every day until that person is better dressed. similar. to. when you hold a shirt you write you worse 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 wanted 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 up because in the world it's. very nice to my whole family rest in peace presently. rest.

he was the quiet person he was the hard work but he worked on the riverfront and he loved to spin in time with his kids which they were babies when he was killed it was one in 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 what 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 it 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 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 bike in his chest 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.

but cutesy classes like math i still come students with disciplinary issues may be punished but in many cases the root causes are not addressed often these problems escalate to hot. 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 against this is not going to take you to easy because you came points above all no fighting wants i mean this is my fight isn't 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 thank for it says it 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 chapel both you have a k forty seven. we caught in the chapel i was still going his way easier to get than to take food now here looking for a cellar like. a life bed full 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 you have to order them online and stuff like this can just walk into the store and buy and i don't see textbooks like that in walmart. to. prove you t.p. featuring juvenile produced a hit single know you clap in two thousand and four the group also included the

rapper skill who continues to perform as a solo artist in addition to on the call to me was a. church. i made a sound about eight nine months ago when i had like a string of murders in like five murders of six murders in three days and i was right and it was too weak and out you know like somebody has got to care so i was made a side of the whole percent of the brown people starting to man was like a parade. and academia has to me there was i know that to be an easy thousand fifteen hundred homes would be easy like i have friends that it might have been murdered thirty years and i see the amount of the some players are going to be in on like classic style the like i do really feel may not be like i really figured to i might be afraid to name my style name in there but i might be afraid the name i'm lost in the fray i just want to see if they became like jack it was

a really nobody stand alone by really doing that and they're like man in my up to remember that night and like i did what happened and i'm like man no everybody can 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 just so and so. you get can just this was no paradise a lot of hunting going only it is normal and then in the wheezy the last station you must be twenty want to buy a 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 s s k one hundred eighty nine it's no use i didn't say you eighteen to buy one and one hundred. he just makes a hundred dollars and i hope i was in the hood and a.k.l. so right with thirty round clip if you let the people instead of them going to operate in the office with fifteen twenty year the kid with

these things must that mean the only way to get some is to get you know the count is a problem before it gets to that problem. when the more not the for these children more just growing up as well just to live and survive and just the work the system the judge the librettist this is going to be unveiled there the next five ten years is that you can see can see a guy like that almost two four six seven children over there under the age of ten ten more years where would they be if this continue on being like this you know. in two thousand and six lisa and danny fitzpatrick moved to new orleans to continues lisa's work with youth and the summer they started the day camp for kids

who had nothing to do two weeks after summer camp a young man was shot a block and a half from here when that occurred and i'm driving home seeing that body on the other side of police tape and what's more than that seeing the kids and the neighbors it was a normal occurrence in their lives and i just said we're going to open a center now we're not going to open it two years from now and i'm going to five years from now we're not going to wait to the experts tell us we dotted all the i's and crossed all the t.'s at the center over the fish patches quickly learn about the kinds of obstacles they would face lisa recalls a story about giving one of the kids a bike i gave him a bicycle because he'd been walking to work to the french quarter the donor had been generous with us so we decided to give him the bicycle to go to work he had had that bicycle only a few hours got a block from my house and officer pulled him over yanked him off of his bike

threw him down face down on the ground and accused him of stealing about so now that young man he takes my six year old to the store with him for protection because a six year old white child is protection from the p.d. . and two thousand and eleven report from the department of justice confirms the claims of many new orleans you are findings reveal the pattern of practice of unconstitutional conduct or violations of federal law in several areas these included violations committed by officers through their actions including the use of excessive force unconstitutional stops searches and arrests and racial profiling and ethnic profiling the report details that indeed the limited arrest data that the department collects points to racial disparity in

a rest of whites and african-americans in virtually all categories where particularly dramatic disparity african-american youth under the age of seventeen. how many to live imposed by police they don't know me so i might seem like i'm a bad person but you like you don't know me sometimes you know they do good deeds and they help people have a. better they have seen the police raids people beat people i've seen into people makes me and from my door playing basketball just a break the whole basketball game going to go on shoes they are like nothing but a crown thanks gone no i think all police crooked though i would want to know some of them are bad but not not all good because i met some police officers and say i fit the description. description and i saw a man. larry i don't want to brag hood on but the closest thing i can steal your

typing by saying all of them a bit because that'll be done with someone new to me the fact that so many times they go to call your barmy like yeah yeah i'm against the that's what happened against theirs they get pulled over by the cops you know when really i'm not really against it is maybe still like that you know it made me feel like i was i wouldn't even wanted in my own society. might be pretty shortly to say. the least productive. than may be. i was just a little. bit ahead of the game. for

those who do get arrested the rollies the courthouse in orleans parish prison known as opie p c c interviews two brothers about being locked up you have been will be. right there your man or the boat would be. right at the grave the error message does doesn't when you don't. know the no beef with them. all right bill throughout the if ever might be to get it up as occasion. when you were black in the cell for twenty three hours i do need to get one hour of free for. oh how did i make you feel. i don't want to cage them and they are like their niggas in a sale in their bill to sell just to 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 their 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 without the children but never so this exploring and kevin was a kid 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 don't have a great defense kevin served five years in a two lou you prison and not the wheezy and it was a lot of that lot of thinking going on you know is like wind me a lot and then by me being a christian is like a lot of tall going to. meet next week mason is like i'm ten and i'm sitting here saying. there i'm still small. one circles around kevin

into the place more brutal than the place he left behind so a lot of use by guards a lot of chaos among among the as for inmates there as well but a lot of the stem from the abuse from from the guards a few years out to kevin's release to lulu prison was closed down for mistreatment of and 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 what we too often see is putting more money into building more prisons or you know the solution is more police officers on the street. and.

i would rather ask questions to people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on r.t. question for. i got a quote for you. it's pretty tough. they wait substory. let's give this guy like you would smear that guy working for the people most issues in the mainstream media are working for each other driver i was visiting my neighborhood. they did rather.

i'm the president and. i think. kind of to come. to. the bank all the time all about money and i'm fascinated that for a politician writing the laws and regulations. coming out. there just to lead. that.

it's a classic. over by the way to do is show that you know the price is the only industry specifically mention in the constitution. that's because a free and open prize is critical to our democracy schreck help us. to make you know i'm sorry and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on we go beyond identifying a problem to try rational debate a real discussion critical issues facing america by ready to join the movement and welcome the big picture. along tom hartman of washington d.c. and here's what's coming up tonight the big picture.
