crip gang member. who carries out the murder against the great street gang member who provided the gun to the transit and it's all caught on video. this is inside jordan downs it's mid day and you can see there's about 10 to 15 gang members loading in the parking lot. just going about their daily business. is the group here of the gang members several of them loitering you going to see the victim of the shooting come running. to this area with the suspect shooting behind them. here you can see on the big game members scatter. and they kind of hang around. because they know it's going to be a great street on great street or who's disciplining another member so they sit around and watch where it is it was a rival gang shooting all of them would run out of the way because they'd all be intended targets here the suspect is chasing the victim around the vehicle. and he's just waiting to kill him. here the victim tries to run the suspect shoots him

in the hand. he falls. and then he comes up and finishes among. you puts the gun in his back we're going to somebody and then just slowly walks away he has nothing really to fear here in the neighborhood because they're all great crips gang members and he's banking on the fact that no one's going to go to court and testify against them. and again you see that nobody's really shocked about it nobody's talking about it nobody chased down the suspect. and then they just go about their daily activities and then obviously homicide will come in and start their investigation. and i was shot 3 times i mean i really didn't realize it until my stomach starbird and. i knew something wasn't right. i want to spit or i want to spit the spitting come all the way out of my mouth. they must burn

even more call ambulance basically and when i got shot to 10. it was early in the morning i was actually stranded somewhere somebody with his hands behind his back came from behind his back and called me by name and shot me in my face 1st. my face i turned and went to try to run back and i laid it like to go to make me spin like michael jackson would let me go nowhere and so after that the 2 shot with 38 i don't know who had the 38 but i saw the one with a 45 in my face and i got a 45 into a 38 at that point and the humor is poor you say and i was laying it i was saying your brains to be working so when i'm laying me and i pay as i thought i was going to die because you know he said you do with before you die and i. go out. in like oh. i could really. get out of the sad face so i just had this one open like. the end was i got to ask it was another scary feeling

i went through because when i was back the doctors when really rushing to do it was like they will sit nobody in a huddle and i'm sitting i'm trying to say how do i look back and my job came really open to the feel like my jaw was broke from when a bullet hit sometimes they had to look so now my brain saying. you know i was kind of glad that doctors came in at last or really kind of feeling myself and getting around because i had the collapse of me beg zone right as i'm raising my shirt up and seeing with all this that i'm feeling so all my insistence on i want out because i had a heart attack the doctor said to walter and robin a while to me and it was like a whole another. just went through my he could you can actually see you going outside and you know that was the experience what they had right there. 2530 who. it's crips working together on the same paints and the same model

to restore community to save lives so what happens is that they get a shoot in a community to shoot them out the minute he said to shoot the mockumentary and it was the shooting was done from one of the guys i collaborate with at the table he will call me the same in one of my. neighborhood areas they have enough. the law will deal with come to the table we'll go and defuse the situation try to make peace and bring this one out on these to keep the peace and keep the violence he'll did not times out of and his new generation did take place behind a girl's face but he said. and and just for that alone we don't know dead bodies a killing behind it so what we do is we step up in the field and i go get with some more. and we tell them we give the ounces that we go ladies down and we don't

squash this beef you know. before you begin to pick up the phone you know call somebody call the minister. of finance just call a victim support group call an ambassador most days can be talked out they could be told go they can be resolved we can get your i pod back we get your 50 bucks back can't get you like. there's 2 different realities the reality where we get involved in gang banging the various reasons we could be here all day but the reality for the system is good business among us one on each other. each other is good business the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of the prison complex system if you can figure a way to make a 7 plus trillion dollar debt to peace you have global peace to know. you stop the

wars not only in the streets but internationally this is more money and. that's why this reality exists. for any office of the firm hold least walking point at me is the point that he always pointed people. this will make the black community bad when. people community jobs pointed people don't even know him might want to know one. officer haircuts man you are going little stronger man they showed me that you've been eating a lot this week and i just seen already go by little i. need. to know are you going. to do some of the attrition work and. we instantly smoke all the money up in one week. you smoke all the money

that you made man one week. and trisha worked out money come come hard man and the money. are the way about he looked like he used to weigh like 100 pounds you know we. close down so we're going to have fears journalism soon as close as close as we're away. one of the reasons i became an attorney was to help people because you know when i was a little girl i noticed there were a lot of drugs in the community a lot of gangs in the community. i found 2 bodies that had been overdosed on heroin they were in the alley over on 31st and we can leave and i knew who they were because my cousin was a heroin addict and i knew one of the women i knew her little girl and i. i knew

her and i had seen her when she was alive so i was in 3rd grade when i saw these bodies then fast forward a little bit farther in the future and then crack came into the community and my little cousin was a victim of that and so just saying what that did to the community i decided to know when i have a disability who were. whining when used drugs they can't get a job maybe will have been tagged with melanie's for a low level offenses when she chat with a felony you're serving a life sentence on the installment plan basically you are going to go in and out of jail because you've got to come out and be faced with i have a felony so i can have public housing like imperial courts i can't be with my family because i am a felony. you stand on the streets trying to figure out how to get a job you can't get a shower because you have to check the box and if you're a felon you most people won't employ you you can't get public housing public health you can't get medicare medicaid if you have a felony man

a minimal incarceration and actually it's drug related ok and as we're finding and that's why these prisons are so overcrowded now because of drugs so what we're finding is when they come out they can't get treatment because my facility is based on medicare and i can't serve the money and delany's so it's a catch 22 and it keeps bringing people back around to the same place where they can manage our they can't find housing they can't get medical tree man they may be depressed at this point they won't be able to get any treatment for their mental health issues and so therefore it just becomes a vicious cycle that keeps repeating itself over and over. you know you are going to. mean you're going along are you going to. remain you know not only are you predator.

narcotics is doing surveillance on non-narcotic said to me in the midst of gardens which is on a kind of blood which is like gang for the last 15 years. so we're going to try to take down the cell right now. let's pick up the very start you know. so the bombing of bloods of one of the largest and most violent gangs in the country. may make tremendous profits selling. at any given time inside the water here and is it least 3 to 5 active not particular selling a day and a little just what they call herb sell it this gentleman story is just selling on the streets to locate it to get a local transit rochus close to what you. know a lot of times 2. when

the whole may just manufacture consent to stick to the public well. when they're running closest to protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts and be that one person. to ignore middle of the room 6. 1000000 more you need.

to feel. connected to the almost last chance and ask for the last 70 and seeing and on the rest today for the rights pro who should have been the christian. branches just shoot on disk in the. future mom. i know you care so sad i'm not going to much fame the mama is just

back. and. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics small business i'm show business. i'll see their. name. from. the from. the. yes. let's go here i don't know if it's really for me. to have that moment oh most

certainly with my oldest son we live it was a lot. going on. you got to keep this place through low forty's or you don't listen to your album don't know how long you've been sitting here obviously one of those couple minutes trying. you know they haven't checked did you say since . you haven't i think that's when that's where you keep that. yeah let me let me check with these guys right now. and see red sneak is a jacket has read everything is consistent with gang activity. this is their territory bonnie hunt blogs nobody else's territory you better have a mission to be in here if you can rival gang and if you're not. this gang has a different sets of cliques to the gang and they're broken up into crews they got you shooters they were crew you don't deal with her crew your robbery suspects a cruise gentleman here is part of savage squad it's a click of the body on a blood set responsible for street robberies home invasions like

a store or ovaries. and they take pride in that it may tattoo themselves they take the legions to each other and that crew you see arms so this is from their christian gardens this is 112 street that's his clip me h.w. for money on a watch. and then this is be ip instead of rest and peace it's bonding and peace and that's his home. there rival gangs crave street so they'll have $107.00 which is the pinnacle for murder. street with that she crossed out. you're telling everybody that you killed a great street and. everybody comes out to check on these guys in their report back to other gang members so why they're being stopped as you can. see behind us 120 and 127 i want to lock is a unit that's selling our cocks so as much as a concern about these guys i'm more concerned about the money inside of me with his hand guns and narcotics inside so they'll move this location right when they can set up shop somewhere else. all these guys are here a customers whenever you see

a group or transients hanging around you know that there's a narcotics location within 50 to 70 feet and they set up camp here and that's all they do is smoke all day long but these guys again it's everything's full circle so these guys now are your car thieves your burglar s. because they have to feed their habit and a gang members know that so it's just a revolving door here. is enough from bad enough to take. the other suspect into custody for sales a narcotic so tyson's going to bring him back to the station people for sales. i. i. i

i live. by vocational pastor is extremely difficult i work full time as a special agent for the u.s. department of justice office of the inspector general and that is. a position in which i investigate f.b.i. agents the agents u.s. attorneys and others. it's difficult to to handle both jobs well and i've been pretty successful of both areas. i believe that it's imperative for me to continue in my career in the federal government because. as a role model in both areas of life so people when they come to our church and they found out that number one i am bi vocational that that's impressive to be because they want to know how i can hold it all together and secondly because i am

a man of god and i treat everyone fairly and that. i believe that is our. responsibility. to god that we serve as a god of 2nd chances. i am so pleased that we have so many people. that have been rehabilitated people been formerly incarcerated former drug addicts former prostitutes gay members and we accept everyone as they are and we let them know that hey they may have made mistakes in the past but they are god is a forgiving and a merciful god we're here to tell. what happens with so many people the wind up being homeless is that they've had opportunities that. maybe they haven't been able to take advantage of it. oftentimes they shut

down. for me. i had a brother homeless and eventually died on the streets and it's very difficult to deal with someone who has really given up on life. when you think about the sheer numbers of individuals who find themselves homeless in los angeles we're talking about estimates 38 to 45. on a nightly basis find themselves. 4 door. exists between south los angeles and downtown. on skid row skid row's community you know folks. see guys that i know you know it's their group your role in the mission and they go to jail and they end up in a county jail for 7 months by the case but i always said you know they go to court

cases go over those i know i wasn't you just please go. you know what happens if a guy have a job you know lost a job i know we all pay a rate you know it's very few people have their own home you know so by the time you get out your apartment is gone you know all this stuff is. going to go to 90 days to come pick up your property you know is there music out to do it so you do music every day. so you get out you have nowhere to go you have no money you know what do you do you come to skid row to get a road is the only place where you could come see you really. do something just the clothes and hopefully you know design is not to go. to be you know it's going to get into a program. to hire an estimate of disconnection from the labor market for african-americans is around 60 percent for african-americans between the ages of 18 and roughly $45.00 so think about think about you have

a population in 2012 about 500000 african-americans who reside within the city of los angeles which is 459 square miles and a large percentage of them the greater number of are not connected to work in los angeles one in 18 african-americans own homes the actual homeless population and this 50 square block area is about 4500 but when we talk about south central los angeles combined south central los angeles homelessness combined with downtown los angeles homelessness we're talking about 20000 people skin. role. exists within the center of power in los angeles and i think it's important to note that skid row thievin in los angeles california is a well kept secret this is the epicenter this is the epicenter of poverty and if

you can't fix it here you can't fix it. the largest amount of homeless people are african-american children because of you render why and why many homeless and she has 3 children what happens is there's not a lot of housing for women and children so the woman goes into transitional housing by herself and those 3 kids usually get split into different foster homes and at that point they may never really see each other as a family again and and that's the most one of the most heart wrenching things because the kids will tell me i had my little 16 year old boy you know boys are supposed to cry and i saw a tear about to form a design he said mistakes and i didn't do anything wrong i don't understand why this is happening to me and. it was very sad and i was like you know me didn't do anything wrong but his life had been turned upside down and and i can't tell him that his life is ever going to get better. or ever since time when the kids are

going to get the kids ok in the teachers spends time think the teacher gets the kids and the parents spend time they get the kids in it the gang spends time they get the kids more often than not the gang is the one that spends a time when the kids and so they do get that sense of community from them because there's a very dysfunctional family unit there's you know they're not everybody needs some kind of support and nurturing in some sense of belonging and appreciation so they're going to go wherever they can get it. is. ok. too. yeah. i do oh. i.

want to be with you and. tell. you. thank. you. it was a. pretty

good. place for. mum mum. mum. mum. mum.

mum. you really get the phone. so smart you didn't. say. he was the digits of

the fixed. costs. let's. get a little blue with you should learn morse just so small over. the phone number that you quote on the phone apart from other least slightly. move on the move. the war in syria seems to be winding down with some syrians returning to their homeland but going back to a normal life now seems like a pipe dream after almost a decade of proxy war this syrian nell dooms 2 years of proxy peace.

why a paradise with sum up all around turned into a round the experimentation field the agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would that the chemical company workers themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments but often in day you have many of these people who have one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental racism going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power.

what politicians do so. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to the press of survival before 3 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the. first sip.
