so right now we're driving through both neighborhoods and you can see time and distance from each gang. so this is jordan. this is the territory claimed by the green street crips during war time bonnie hunt is now less likely to come in here because there's one way in and often one way out so once you come in and do a shooting you're trapped in their neighborhood and they can return fire so it's not the safest way to to avenge a shooting so often they'll go on the outskirts of the neighborhood hoping to get a great street kripke that's a lot of times when innocent people get shot. so in the next couple of days someone from this development most likely will go over towards nickerson like they have the last couple of days and commit a shooting and vice versa so all these neighborhoods now are in play.

for him. several months ago. a gentleman with the moniker of menace from 15 hill was caught inside the gang territory of the village voice a couple of the village boys. went outside jumped on menace beat him down and stuck to mr ashby you. and. they took the trash here and brought him back behind another house and tortured him they sodomized him they sliced him up with a machete and when they sliced him up they put in the end his chest the village voice. and then they continued to torture him and they wrapped him up in a rug burned and dumped him in long beach there's one thing about beating a guy down or killing them but the torture of the sodomy all that stuff that's that's just what gang members do so they found menace right around here beat him down put him in the trash can and then they will am. to this location here.
4:32 pm
where they. assault them. and torture i'm. not concerned with people watching them commit crimes being prosecuted because. they'll go after witnesses they'll intimidate them and if they have to the old even try to kill them you can see how they're marking up their neighborhood village voice. my personal opinion is a lot of gangs get a sympathetic ear to the general public and when the public's posed to exactly what these guys do. then everyone agrees that we don't want to in our neighborhood.

4:34 pm
a little bit drunk he drank that night and then the next morning me i didn't hear from him and i was a will and that's weird and i'm going to he must be really mad at me and i didn't hear from him i didn't know what was going on and then they come up to me that and then ok what's going on why i mean what i do and then i'm like thinking like in my head like ok i haven't done anything bad and i haven't done anything that i can think of anything and asking all where we got last night and the 1st thing that pops into my whole you know what's going on what's wrong with what you know i told him that he was he came is he in jail is he like her what's wrong with that like the last thing i thought of him was what was wrong with him you know the last thing and then towards the end they tell me ok we're going to meet up and. who did we found his body. dolphin after i heard was that i didn't hear anything else i thought they were lying they just like it would really make no more use going on it's not true. you. know and then i just don't remember anything after that after

4:47 pm
getting bit so he gets up with a shoe in his hand he throws if you. go. out. when miss motion happens we're going to pop pop pop pop. it was issued. you. wanna shoot you got the commander in a bag i didn't tell anybody to shoot i never gave that order feel. blue and gold you know. they go pick up the dog based on a metal back for the dog and all sentimental back for that the kid has shaken on the ground they still come out with their guns pointed at him like as if he's going to get up he's not going to get up after that nobody's going to get up out to get
4:49 pm
right now there's a small little war. and a tween the bounty hunters and great story. we could be eating as minor as a girl because somebody took somebody else's girl so. somebody gets shot in a war breaks out. you know in the past the gang members would do was you know they committed drive by they would ask you where you're from and if you gave out the wrong answer. they kill you now. when a gang member commits a drive by or walk up and while someone where you're from doesn't matter what your answer is you can get killed anyway there is no correct answer and i don't know why that started or where that came from but. nowadays if. a gang member asked where you're from listening to his run because going to shop. the gangs are in the schools and there's not a lot of police presence in the school so they basically have free reign there. and
4:50 pm
it starts off when they're young you know you get the little youngsters out there fighting in the schools. and it spills onto the streets and you know the teachers are out there trying to do the best job they can but it's just a it's a tough environment and you have the good kids that are actually trying to get education they've got to deal with all the gang feuds that are going on. in the schools.
4:51 pm
a lot of our students come from single family homes and a large majority of our students around 70 percent of my kids are actually coming from foster homes every kid wants to learn and i don't think that any one of our kids comes with the intention to gangbang every single day that's not part of their agenda. this is the make or door that my kids exit to get home avalon boulevard is the street that they have to cross over anything cross over walk down to get to the train station or get down to their homes across avalon boulevard and sometimes kids feel unsafe. like high schools run about $720.00 and gangs so the dangers that we face that kids come into from school so we have the safe passage program which consist of law enforcement charity public safety which in our pipes cuniform actually do security on campus and off campus and our community gang in
4:52 pm
a bid to record former gang members that change their lives and they kind of help us with a safe passage safe passage is a 1000 feet from the school so our jurisdiction from has been that the security on campus we could leave 1000 feet from the school. we work in concert with l.a.p.d. and a loss as county sheriff on a side track campus. we are security officers are allowed to carry and cuss pepper spray and firearms if we was a see somebody attacking a kid we will definitely jump out and stop that person from attacking a kid and yes we can detain him in holding the to l.a.p.d. gets. we have had kids get shot you know come to school the 1st that was the 2nd year that we was here with green dot kids walking the school and. guys walked up to him and then shot him he was a former gay member that was trying to get his life together he was trying to you know. get a good education but you know. you've been tagged as
4:53 pm
a gang member you know even though you. try to do the right ok and look at it like that. and there was actually because we. was actually able to make it. right here in l.a. you never know who's going to have. a moment so some days days be. happening some days you know it's just. here. going into high school i went to morning high school and california. i can remember being around the age of 15 or 16 or we started becoming active gang members after high school i've experienced dayton a so-called enemy and 97 was about 18 and experiencing that
4:54 pm
situation and having a revealed in front of my homeboys. almost cost me my life. and saying that i remember was 97 and maybe 2 weeks before my graduation one of my homeboys close to me. wanted to kill me and it was like a dark night i just remember it was kind of dark and it was one light twitching and within that light that was tick you know twitching like i remember looking across the street and it was one of my homeboys from my neighborhood had a trench coat on and he walked up towards me and i remember him telling me and i was and i said well we're here to see me and he put out the 45 and he put it to my face and. with that within that quick 2nd i snooped the gun very smooth i seen all the bullets and the barrel. and he start talking crazy he was on the start talking crazy talking about you know i
4:55 pm
should be smoked because i'm dana enemy and i understand i know the protocol for females you know like you don't date enemies you don't date other fools from other neighborhoods i think the guys can probably get away with it but for females no and so because i did date somebody from another neighborhood it almost cost my life. he pulled the trigger but it was like a spiritual thing that happened that i can't explain till this day i mean for me i think it was god that was my transition of changing because when he pulled the trigger the barrel moved but noble is didn't come out and i blacked out and when i blacked out i remember fallen in his black tunnel i thought i was shot in the hit i thought i was going to hell because i was i was in this black tunnel falling and then finally i was just looking back and i'm like where am i like i did all radio was going on i'm going to hell and i remember start i started to pray that off father to hell mary because this is things that i kind of remember from catechism and i said you know what i've said
4:56 pm
a lot but it's better to go on and pray and just hope that the lord you know forgives me for my sins and i move forward and i remember looking back as i fall in this tunnel it was the virgin mary's hands and i accepted my death and when i accepted my dad i was back and i'm still standing up the person still pull in the trigger and the bullets are not even coming out and it's clicking. and then my mom comes finally he runs and my mom just pulls up and i'm just shocked like oh my god i could have my brains landed on the floor 2 weeks before graduation. you know it's difficult to get in and out of south central los angeles and it's it's just a violent area that the level of violence that people live with is unacceptable entirely unacceptable when i was
4:57 pm
a little girl my parents took me to vietnam when i was in saigon during the tet offensive i was not as afraid inside down with bombs dropping every day from dusk till dawn as i was when i came back to los angeles because i was the victim in los angeles i didn't feel like i was a victim in vietnam and the level of violence i feel is just the same really even though they don't declare it to be a war zone it isn't worth the. cameras in the public housing developments there was great disdain in the community didn't want the cameras there there's already bars on the windows and some of the developments in the community perspective was already living in a prison when you drive by our community it looks like a prison and now you're adding video cameras and now you're watching us and think brothers always watching us we just want to feel like we're a normal community but on the other hand the cameras have been extremely successful as it relates to long for some and a witness intimidation we've had some murders occur inside jordan downs and caught
4:58 pm
them on video where we didn't have to ask a community member to put their life in danger and testify because we got it all on video so i think now that it's grown on the community and they realize that we're utilizing it not to suppress them but to help them it's been extremely successful. live. live. live. live. live live. live. live live. live live.
4:59 pm
5:00 pm
in the main stories of the week a 3rd whistleblower casts further data on a new probe by the international chemical weapons borscht belt into the alleged chemical attack in syria adding he also faced intimidation. a last minute legal intervention could see a killer and rapist released back onto the streets of britain after 25 violent criminals deportations to jamaica. it is not my responsibility to pay for a foreign national to commit crimes in my country many of these people they committed a single offense many years ago and since then i mean obviously if we did that that just shows how little trust we have in our own criminal justice system.
