on the outskirts of the neighborhood hoping to get a great street cryptic 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 to beat him down stopped a minister asked you. and. they took the trash here and brought them back behind another house and tortured them 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

7:48 pm
right now there's a small little war. it would 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
7:49 pm
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 shot. 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 it starts off when they're young you know you get the little youngsters out there fighting in the schools. and it spills on to 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 an education they've got to deal with all the gang feuds that are going on. in the schools.
7:50 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 7 to 20 years gangs so the dangers that we
7:51 pm
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 that actually do security on campus and off campus and our community gang in a bid to record former gang members that change their lives and they kind of help us with a safe passage say fasces a 1000 feet from the school so our jurisdiction far has been the security on campus we could at least 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 dad the kids walking the school and. guys
7:52 pm
walked up to him. and 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 a gang member you know even though you. try to be right ok and look at it like that . the. l.a.p.d. did a perimeter and they was actually because we. was actually able to make an arrest. right here in l.a. you never know who's going to. have the spirit of moment so some days they. can happen it some days you know it's just. here. going into high school i went to morningstar high school and california. i can
7:53 pm
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 it was about 18 and experiencing that situation and having it 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 i was up and i said well we're here to see me and he put out the 45 and he put it to my face
7:54 pm
and. with that within that quick 2nd i snoozed the gun very familiar gun 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 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 no bullets 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
7:55 pm
then finally i was just looking back and i'm like where am i like i did already or 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 a lot but it's better to go on and pray and just hope that the lord you know forgive 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 monster pulls up and i'm just shocked like oh my god i could have my brains landed on the floor 2 weeks before graduation.
7:56 pm
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 a little girl my parents took me to vietnam when i was in saigon during the tet offensive i was not as afraid in saigon 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 is a war zone. when we put cameras in the public housing developments there was great disdain the folks in the community didn't want the cameras there there's already bars on the windows and some of the developments and 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 every
7:57 pm
grubbers 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 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. i'm going to fulfill the repeated promises ok politics to the people i promise to
7:58 pm
7:59 pm
natural world. you just seem they've got a lot of good results you could losing myself from the idea of. playing the piano and it. must come out being pulled up. but then you knew. that all of that was. there or that the problem with. dealing in the muslim world as a google book you. name it the same thing that. human activity has brought us to the brink of the world's 6th major extinction event and the people in this film just can't take it anymore.
