that we don't know trying to hurt nobody over here you know that's how we go every day. everybody so we don't know you don't come away and several of them. to me for days it's a story. you know amount to take a few traps. take a few places. i'm sure everything is everything. you . learn in school and long. time. and. there's up to. you. every day you never know what you'll get up to you can wake up and say you going to

check in school but end up shooting somebody so every day is a different day and every day as a struggle for a lot of people that don't have it so we try to get it by any means necessary. this place is so if you go. any way of saying. there you go. crack cocaine the deal. one of the number one drug. you got. close to 1st place is crystal meth. you know that's. taking away a lot of people right about. courts

jordan downs nickerson gardens long gardens and. the largest ones over are going to be jordan downs nickerson and imperial courts basically there's a different gang and each one of them nickerson gardens has bounty hunter bloods it's a it's a really large gang a couple 1000 members i'm sure in imperial they've got some some pretty good names they've got i think funny side hill side i'm not sure where all these names come from the great street which is in jordan downs you're going to have things like. roll in and different things that are in there different subsets of the same game they're all creature eclipse and that there's a lot of conflict within the gangs and. in between the gangs most of the conflict i would say revolves around money and most of that money is made through dope sales they do have other activities but that's that's the main source of most of their income. and that's what that drives

a lot of the violence that's out here we have we're way down in murders historically for this area but we're still i think we're up to 40 for this year and i am not sure but i think this division is only 10 square miles and you had 40 murders and that's that's the lowest amount of murders we've had in decades and it's virtually all gang related there are some that aren't and you have some domestic violence but most of it's gang related and a lot of it's doper than we're going to go we. want to boys you know average up to a dollar not of the day every day. is an average corner war on avoiding really got it together you can you know make a living more than a. regular on my back. told this. told me if i get a good thing every day think riza i get paid every day every day i

do a good count for you barry. monies in a large amount to. be a large amount of anything is money to be made you can make money off of marijuana crack christo anyone but you if you got a large amount that's when you making the money. i said. you don't have a. right . to move up the to the.

supply of making those dollars you know i'm saying. you know you get it and you got to get it or you know i'm saying it's a lot of people we don't know mom and daddy so you know he has had a screeching look for told the streets and they say he got it you know be a thing and then get on from there you know looking back. you know it was probably going to. be like i don't. know enough to know right. now so. it's just like humans when. we game and we represent a project live we always do it out but at the same time as still something else out there bigger than this i'm not i never stop playing now this model that i lead as pays to devils us i want to see some beer for all of us to grow to succeed off of

very well well continue watching on since last. in 2040 you know bloody revolution here to correct the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just the war here. is put video of. spilling into the former ukrainian president recalls the events of 2014. those who took. invested over $5000000000.00 to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to us from the

world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. moved to the big time they mailed me more wrong. and it's. really for the surveillance photos we got it was.

in this community there are people who believe that it's ok to to sell marijuana to put food on the table it's ok to sell practical food on my table and it's when i got a tail it's really hard when you get into the community and you see how some people live and you see that there are no jobs and you see that i've got kids that have to eat and as a parent. i can't come up with a popsicle argument to say that if i were in that situation and that's the only option i had that i wouldn't do the same thing and so it's been really important to me to try and build some understanding in the police officers in the realities of the community and that doesn't mean by any. any sense that i condone it or i will let it go on especially since the other reality is that almost all the homicides

that we do have are directly wrapped around narcotics and narcotics sales and so you might have people that will claim it's a victimless crime it's not there are people dying over it several years ago in the early sixty's this community was predominantly white and you had the steel mills and you had a lot of economic growth and then the riots came out a lot of those folks and a lot of those businesses left the community one big. because of fear too because of the folks within the community destroyed it themselves and it was hard to get economic growth and development back into this community because of the fear and i feel like south los angeles has just been left and pushed to the side since the 1965 riots and that i don't believe there's been enough time in dedication and passion income compassion and a fight for equality to build this community we need to get past the riots kind of a weird thing to say because that happened

a long time ago it's been 20 years since the last one. but the riots the 65 riots of 92 riots left a huge scar in this community they left a scar in this community that has caused the business not to be able to come back. until we can bring business back to this community it can thrive there isn't a sit down restaurant in watts there isn't a movie theatre in watts we do not have a y.m.c.a. or a boys and girls club or a large community center where a child can go after school to receive tutoring in sports and an afterschool program on a larger scale and every other store i mean a given street in watts is either a liquor store or a funeral home or in a church. you

need to live my life. you know. i was going to. have one of them again you're like oh. it's so good to hear you let down like you want to lie in your state hustling you know saying stay hustling. before felon bros i was really home no redemption all day and one day and i'm not going to you just like i'm not going to you know that i'll believe you and not say i'll be here with nobody to you or me even by being you you'll be in a failing on me you know saying i feel like you can't make it you know i'm saying there's a way you can make it all me there are programs but you would get into how many you can get you a job or a legitimate job homie and then at the worry about all that money but the good the

people go. so help me get a job they got right now i've been looking for 5 months bro. me 5 months i'm tired i'm ready to give up so you can hustle and. say. access to good ground you know if they're out here on the streets to get hang in life or you know assault rifle that bag for less than a $1000.00. here you know the heart is here and it is. keep this honest now not hard but the way men and i had to go here work you know so because you know. they know gave it down to you know got to be college right my route you know no hammer no i see it going to move i saw the audience come to try to play some game going where you out there see the street oh my lord just a spade right here we call this out of not really going satisfy. it is really going

to be a good look at it go to just look. at it down town by the cliff. not talk about sound outside i have loved me for any of them my life time but the passing of my brother that's what hit me the most. was when i was a big toll on the passing of my brother but i deal with him every day listening to other every day and i lost plenty of friends before you and me so it had heard me but. not to the extent that i lost my brother. i mean and then a few years 'd later my son i lose my sister my sister geeky oh. so i still haven't recovered from all that like deep down inside his steel taken oh you know toll on me to where i haven't found a way to cope. i

and. i and. there's been a great number of shooting incidents which have occurred right outside. right outside between the church and a liquor store as a matter of fact a few years ago i was told by the sheriff's department there there were more shooting incidents that have occurred right outside our church than anywhere else in south l.a. . and try to be open to all different types of people because we're in an area where people who are constantly hurting and costly in need so we have to look beyond ourself in the boards helping people we have so many people that don't have a father so i can serve as our role model and that image and to give

a positive light on many people who haven't seen productive african-american male. you know. back. to. you know the beautiful. my older brother was a gang member and my young brother was a gang member so i understand what happens where gangs and oftentimes when people are trying to find themself they'll search and search and then they'll find a gang and some of the gangs they give them a sense of worth they feel them for they feel like they are someone. however

well we tried and it is. really to let them know you'll meet again have a sense of self worth. with the lord. they you can have a different sense of self-worth and you don't have to depend on anyone and besides that you can get involved in something this on a pioneer taggerty you can be more. good news mason we started like this we will look up in a sky and surveying l.a. we saw a lot of helicopters in the sky we knew something was going on so we want to track that down and more is something going now my guess what it's no yellow tape but we do it. we put it down flop people as we go do we will find out what happened your boys do it you feel me. the cameras a very powerful weapon and once you have that camera on the camera doesn't lie on actions you know you don't have to walk out the pistol you know or do any of messed

up your camera is your house is not going to live the l.a.p.d. murdered an unarmed teenager in the imperial courts housing projects thursday afternoon to teenager identified as james davis dislodged his weapon began to run witnesses say police retrieved his weapon and fired a fatal shot into the teenager's bank after james davis was shot he was handcuffed and then denied medical attention from a nurse who happen to be on site as he lay dying when i shot to the back a nurse was honest and who actually lives in imperial forces she was visiting there will be able to start before. she went there to tell you that they needed. this right to. let him know what i. just heard from a c.p.r. 33 all this time they're going to be down here trying to

police are shot somebody in broad daylight in finance. stand over him while he died i covered that story and then just another sad story. this body here is 115th street one of the busiest rock cocaine spots by far and ones but i would say even in the country. in my experience nobody does more. than the bombing on the bloods and i mean the money is a huge it's probably $30.00 to $50000.00 and we can in sales just in this develop could be biased. their rival gang prevention creeps in the same problem they do make money in sales a narcotic in the motivation to stay within the gang is nice alive in haiti it's an ongoing feud between the great tree crips and the bonnie hunt of bloods we've had 4 murders in the last week and i think into the murders were 847 so when they go out

on what they call a mission or a murder they bring high powered rifles. and usually when you see a group like that hanging out they were going to spot. just places what you call the mothership. the bloods. originated here if you're going to western movies they had to bounty hunters. and during that time they used to you know watch the western movies and they just always talk about the bunny hunters and that's how we was created we took that same piece. start calling ourselves to bonnie hunt and it was a murder that took place on the bonnie hunt of blood he was stabbed to death outside the area you could see right here is a vigil they love to honor their dead. when there's a murder between 2 powerful gangs a few results from the one incident. kills upon an honor then the bombing i'm going to get together and they need to retaliate and

a more violent gang is. the more respect it has the more violent gang it is the more successful they are the more violent the gang is the more the community feels that they are intimidated and they can't do anything about it and that's how they run the streets.
