in new orleans two centuries of slavery have left painful scars within the african-american community. that accounts for two thirds of the town's population moreover that african-americans feel that they were abandoned during hurricane katrina. in two thousand five hundred the pressure of the water dozens of poorly maintained levees broke. mud flooded eighty percent of the town that was under sea level. today the town still bears the scars of the disaster especially the poor neighborhoods. aka the dancing that is here one of the most devastated areas. he believes that nothing has been done to rehabilitate this
5:45 am
neighborhood. i don't like. this kind of stuff right. after it's me. this is only one of about twenty thousand. that twenty thousand that's like all. right. but. there are there's a bend and there is a reason for the increased crime rate. this is the. black neighborhood. high crime neighborhood become a crime anywhere from trumps wherever you got drugs. african-american people the flow speed with the situation of the country no job no
5:46 am
food if you're not easy. if you now the. one of situation. will go to the street the hungry people go to the stream. since the hurricane criminality has increased by forty percent. on the other side of the city we encounter a different atmosphere. louisiana is a former french colony and the most touristy area really is the french quarter. every tourist from all around the world gathered apart. a lot of. access. to. my mind. and of course here jazz is everywhere. bars
5:47 am
with dance floors every. day for the last two. his name is also played by violence last year one person was killed and nine were injured in a shoot out in the middle of the french quarter. another night a man attempts to kidnap a drunk girl. the man tries to stop him. but the aggressor points into seattle. the man begs for mercy. presser shoots him in the stomach then tries to kill him. luckily his weapon jams. the shooter takes flight. the men will survive this
5:48 am
incident. the aggressor you're a cain twenty one has already been charged with rape and robbery. you'll be arrested two days later. by night these types of aggressions are multiplying especially in restaurants which have become new targets for the criminals. the pathway is a fancy restaurant for six months ago the own choosing and his team were the victims of an armed robbery. as lorenzo general manager. hello i want to back right up front. you know. how you do it it's a riot. yeah on that day the restaurant was packed like it is tonight. the security cameras have recorded the whole scene. there were three robbers.
5:49 am
one guy came in and maybe a second attitudes and slater two guys came in behind him the first get off and then the second guy came in that area telling me to go rounds the first day and he wanted to hear the register it right here go in the drawer then for a second put a gun to his head maybe go to the ground they got this is not a job now or what else. clean carries a gun but he chose not to use it on that night avoiding a bloodbath it's the threat of being shot or killed that's the it's not a wallet it's not a cellphone it's not money it's not stealing my car it's someone gets shot and there's no other option do you carry a gun to know it's a difficult issue though because i'm not for it but in a mill you like this worse there are so many dangers people with guns it makes
5:50 am
sense for people to own guns to protect themselves. in the united states the gun issue is a sensitive subject. are they responsible for the increase. in new orleans more and more people chose to arm themselves. like brennan forty years old a former police officer. he doesn't leave the house without his arsenal and i have my main gun it just goes right on the waistband. and all the medical evidence is really very simple it just has what we call combat balls this particular balls has a static agent. you know he in the not only so they both have this wave opening feature which imagine my my pocket here got this little hook as i
5:51 am
go to pull this out the pocket this little hook catches the inside of the pants and it opens it automatically has a hole it out so i can i can defend myself from either side maybe i push against a wall and this side i'm not able to get this knife so i can get to this one or vice versa. like most people in new orleans brennan was traumatized by katrina. at the time he was still a police officer get to face chaos. it's as if you know right there's the mississippi river this is all part of the levee system there was a breach in a levee where one of the oil tanker barges hit it and with that there was some oil so it was really nasty out here. disaster. when you have adversity at the level that katrina was that's when those true call the start coming out. of family members to dallas to evacuate and when i
5:52 am
was coming back into the city in dallas texas i had in a p.d. units passing me leaving the city. many police officers never returned. and now we're you know we're very low on manpower dangerously low not only for citizens but for the department themselves i mean these guys are you know we look we get more and more people shoot up police is just it's never seen more that than i've ever seen before. obsessed with safety. he transformed his car into a real armory. i keep all of this stuff handy just in case again something crazy happens active shooter as a you know concealed carry permit i also keep a rifle it's actually technically a pistol but i keep something that's a little bit bigger than i keep a good show ammunition as well as a. body armor medical equipment the stuff that i would simply need a san active shooter at a school or something like that and then also just keep kind of general
5:53 am
preparedness stuff vehicle maintenance stuff tools things for spare flat tires a water fluids for the vehicle general maintenance stuff that you know probably everybody should have in their vehicle. after quitting the police brennan chose to open a gun shop. you can find everything here from an automatic gun to an a k forty seven. but the red dot is there going oh oh how far is the range zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero for letting us know a little bit with the growing insecurity about brennan christmas is flourishing because like especially considering that in louisiana arm sales are deregulated cool clothes you know if you're anything all right well you will say you have gone . and you carry it with you you have it on you today and you're sure you're ok
5:54 am
so you feel in danger. even if. you know. in this town the number of firearms is booming. their sales doubled the last ten years . but a new orleans. man has found another solution the weapons to fight criminality. it's in the heart of the french quarter that live city took a forty year old millionaire. he made a fortune in the garbage disposal service. i think you drive it you know rat today the only a good quote around eight hundred ninety thousand herb by. a millionaire in.
5:55 am
his house had been burglarized several times so sidney decided to invest part of his fortune into the security of french quarter. he created a unique and. it allows people to send real time information to the policeman of the neighborhood. you see something that says look suspicious prostitution drug dealing you see somebody getting rob you take the side and you can take a picture and send it and it goes directly here it's like having a police officer in your pocket. although once again this is a crime just came in over the radio and they say they sent a picture here you see suspicious person dolfin in governor nichols and they took a picture of him see him on the corner you see him on the ground they act like they're sleeping but they're they actually rob people when you walk. his idea was
5:56 am
born after his conflict with the mayor of new orleans who he publicly accused of being in active in front of the rise of criminality i tried to get a meeting with the mayor and he wouldn't meet with me so i made a thirty second commercial and i started putting it all over the t.v. calling the mayor out on the crime in the cities the french quarter is under siege by criminal the problem can be it is only six blocks by thirteen. you may as well advised me to come in this room in the front the millionaire office driving up the violence in the city and every sane way to deal with garbage like. we should hope for the misery for there was a real provocation. and so he didn't like it and he took offense to it he made millions and millions and millions of dollars off a garbage contract in the french quarter and maybe he should just to get some of that money and do it himself if he thinks it's so easy it's just not like i decided to follow his advice and invested several hundred thousand dollars to create a french quarter taskforce
5:57 am
a unit that works directly with the task force you download it and you're able to connect police do exactly this was something that was launched just days ago in tonight's businessman city to announce today the young millionaire has become a star in the american media. who as you can see had way less gray white black and blue. this afternoon as yet another t.v. interview. has become a reference in the fight against criminality. you know it's not just one people in jail for arresting our way it's that it has to we have to have programs the mayor the city the citizens work together. if we receive so my. the tension it's because is that there's
5:58 am
a real success in his neighborhood criminality is down by forty five percent. los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. the simple fact in l.a. is there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in and it's been a struggle. to get this man found his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing and nowhere to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution tiny house on a city parking space is not a solution you craft someone monitoring the site otherwise it'll be
