seventeen this is our most imaginative and most amount of guys like you know nobody's on roads and. every time it's not been night barack or do they change me on in fact. you just see somebody and i did in a coal way i don't need no bottom for the seed a need to send out a young gays can explore 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 kinda get it in a day when everybody just seem just in case 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 in the world's 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 deal in drugs not you don't know if you look at that board we were. very. shocked it like someone. was my. show and 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 looked more like maybe milwaukee and a half million people and they killed fifty three people not two hundred fifty. odd.

the or. ha ha ha ha. my name is 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 gun shooting happened just after seven i think it 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 watch 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 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 prime. 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 if the people listening to can 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 just 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 get my shirt and you go to church every day until that person is better dressed. similar. to. when you hold a shirt you write you were sometimes. heard 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 planes more liberal than you can survive without the one rest in peace or with your business will never grow because i'm the world's. best to my whole family rest in peace

dressed in jeans. he was the quiet person he was the hard work but he worked on the river front and he loved to spin a time with his kids wish 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 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 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 the whole house shakes he shook me he was like ma 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 in his chest behind his ear a die 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 hear that much power in your life that they woke up and decided another human being would not walk the plane or another day.

and sometimes they're resumed after school where there is 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 the state because you came points above all no fighting wants i mean this isn't 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 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. we call it a chapel i will say a gun is way easier to get than a take food now here looking for

a seller like. well like beds and boil about the textbooks are way more expensive to get to some people to get it from for. some time most of the time it be legal there 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 walmart. take. the rap group u 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 but to me it's difficult to. change but. 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 for i was made a sign of hope to stop the violence people started to man was like a parade. and academe estimate there was i know it got to be an easy thousand fifteen hundred homes in the east 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 classic style 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 was in the frame i just want to see if it 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 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 i was sold believe me you get can just this was no paradise a lot of hunting going only it is normal and then in the wheezy and the last

station you must be twenty want to buy hank but you can buy a hunting rifle at the age of eighteen assault rifle falls into the hundred of a category so if you have look class s k s n a k one hundred eighteen out of no use i didn't say you eighteen to buy one and how did. he just makes a hundred dollars and i hope i was in the hood have a kid i was alright with thirty round clip if you let the people instead of them going to operate in the office with fifteen twenty years it's the cumulation and go . to the streets it's got to be astronomical and you wonder why the murder rate our because everybody got to stop right. it was at one time i live by just i'm going to venice i was tired of going for a man i love him i was i will view the body i'm assigned a book but i've got a furnace in the way repairs i'm just kind of. too much of.

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 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 first 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. .
