every time night bad occurred they changed me on to fatten. you to see somebody and i did in a coal way i don't need no bottom for the seed i mean just say no to your gaze kind of explore my life it's a lot of. the first that there had 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 in a bear 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 deal in drugs not you don't know if you look at that board we were. very.

shocked shit like someone. was either. 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. the los. lobos. the or.

ha. ha ha ha. 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 to be in five separate shootings in new orleans and jefferson parish has 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 family 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 as small as 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 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 to 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 roam can you i'm a real live people have to be by listening to tom i take children. across the street from the shoot the 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 get my shirt and you'll get a shower every day until that person is better dressed. similar. to.

when you hold a shirt you write your worst and sometimes. hurt so much that people don't have words and how it's me to come up with words when 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 planes more limited than you can survive without the one rest in peace or with your business will never grow because in the world it's. very nice to my whole family dressed in trees dressed in jeans. pressed. 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 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 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 was like my get up and 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 i mean behind his ear a die instantly in the core and then they 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.

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 as bad 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 himself and the show it blinded one of the boys kevin was arrested and tried for attempted murder my legal came to court drunk every be here greet the alcohol every time so i don't have a great defense kevin served five years in it to lure you prison and not the wheezy and it was a lot of a lot of thinking going on you know me a lot and then by me being a christian is like a lot of talk going to. me next pronation because like i'm ten. i'm sitting here say oh. i'm so small arguments circles around kevin into the

place more brutal than the place he left behind so 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 lulu prison was closed now for mistreatment of in 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. late to

lend the claim the little. the legislature leave i was. what they're trying to do now is sell another myth to us which is that one group of

slightly less radical fundamentalists are now attacking the i.s.i. yes and taking care of them who is the major supporter of these groups i mean they have to get money and arms and training from somewhere and the country that's been named so far in this program is saudi arabia what is their role in all this i think it's a little bit of a. misinterpretation of three other people i don't see five the fact that saudi arabia from its own reasons with all of the american bickering but with all reason this is supposed being certain elements we've been in this position because the saudi arabia government can split throwing them out to try to broker. the rise of a take over the future when the those groups really. have it it's quite clear.

it was a. very hard to take on. once again on a plan by having that fact that her make her number. one. please. please. please. applause.
