ah, ah ah, i've actually found safety. the braces, naziism is a juice. all of a sudden you're placing the position. i can defend myself. now. i don't have to be afraid any more. on one hand, i'm terrified that they're going to find out a jewish, but on the other, i think it's so far away. i distinctly remember my mom sitting me down one night and her st. john, they're going to hurt. one guy hunched. me. hi, my ear that hurt somebody. so now the rest of the punch was who started flying. can somebody shouted out, died, you boy died. and at that point i knew they're stuck back. remember,

had an indian doctor. they came in and looked and said that there is no medical reason why you're, you should be alive. you to find something to believe. john story is a story of how the story victory and whatever i can do to help him i would deal with ah, we all came out to get there. we were all supposed to go home together. that

didn't happen with we had all went to the movies and we get to the corner of 15th and ridgewood and there's another car just sitting there when you achieve it and you go into do your 1st mission best with keys in the foot. and then back with pistols, and we all feel like adrenaline searching through our bodies. but nobody's really talking because we know what you go on to a hear, a car's tires, to hear the car ready next to last, all the way down it scare what you

rates as a g at you don't know what these feelings are. to know that what the car stop and we said there they go. we shoot everybody, shoot. we did bad every night. you know, that is those shots as far as just constantly right next to us and it's just shot after shot after shot, after shot. we end up crashing. we all jumped out the car and start running towards the store. they had already called the police, the ambulance and everything. ah dear, it was asking. where is cory? where's court in for like he's, he's right behind us. he's right behind us in so he ran back down to the crash

site. he was trying to get cory out the car ah, on the want to talk with hear them say deal at the same. mm. so we knew he was gone for prosecutor say kemati carter pulled the trigger on his assault rifle. ah, afford defendants belong to what gang? and fired on the innocent victims and the other car early that saturday morning because they thought they were members of a rival gang, they were not ah, you didn't have that by 24. and i got arrested may 27. 1995 with i was 18 years to watch,

so like in a prison i was young. couldn't speak very well, wasn't really educated. so some people believed that in the gang lifestyle that they would somebody, he was important to a particular group of people. they would rather be an important tyrant, then an average citizen, a struggle. all some people are afraid of being who they are. the road is an easy ground in developing an easy prison is an easing

lineage, kamani carter. and i'm currently starting to life statements for a gang related job a 9 years ago. my victim was innocent. he was also a student who was attending college. his name is corey pittman. at this time i would like to apologize to the pip family because only now about begun to understand that the enjoyment of life was taken away can never be replaced . and i'm sorry, my history is the life of a lot of kids out there at our community. and my reality as a young man, life in prison will be the future. if we don't start creating better ways of dealing with our children who

la la baggage cameras field yeah. i dont super chris for the

long dentist have been through here almost 30 years and ever it looks a lot better. back and ladies really manage what motors looks like. they started most over hours up year after dark to the streets and just be crawl. and we just started out like any other patrol partners or just handle a regular police and then we'd be on a like a burglary call or vandalism call. and it was a lead here shot to be on fire, you know, block away or a couple blocks away. and then at the return shots, somebody shooting out of a car. now, mackenzie, the telegraph bodies in the street,

people who did sack lay in there. i moved here in august of 1980 from the detroit area, the football coach that i had, he told me about it. i'd never heard of it before. he made it sound like heaven coming to the great northwest, the peaceful northwest. i was a young lawyer starting a practice, so i was doing domestic contract law real estate law by the end of the eighty's early ninety's. it was almost solely felony defense. ah, the news tribune had a headline comparing to coma as being little detroit a

a very young kids. it seems we're getting involved in horrendous violence 20 to 30 years ago. and i think there's no question that the kitchen cripps from ally came up here and seated this area. lou came a, took a la blocked court as i lived on all my life. bo road, the where from orchard all way down to the hilltop. and then yeah, these other guys was kind of scary and they will rate. they had that on the side. ah, read a movie mix in california,

didn't mix them to come to washington. lulu ah to com is about 30 miles from seattle. many of the african american and other folks that have come to this region. after the 40s after world war 2, a large influx of people came. many people came through fort lewis and settled in close proximity to the commer. mm. because of red line, people were red line at the certain area. the hill top in those areas is where black people were concentrated at that time. after world war 2. to com is no different from any place else in this country in terms of how people are relegated

to that bottom wrong if they are poor or if they are of color name. there was so many of our children affected during that late eighty's early ninety's. if you are around the age, 111213 during that time you are affected by this m. oh so me. the kids didn't survive ever killed. mm. if they didn't die, they're in prison for a long time. ah, the hotel barry was already a poverty stricken neighbourhood. and then when you fell prostitution on that, so gangs on that, throw crack cocaine on top of all that these kids, they are a product of the vironment that they were pushed into. no ah, n is so much,

don't so much dog that was just saturated. you have to come along which is ridiculous. like an 88. it was flying a lived in a world that was bubbling. wow. we did things that i never knew that i would live to see this day. oh man, the drugs, guns, the fuel edge killing these kids grew up in something that a lot of people don't want to face reality about ah ah, so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation, let it be an arms race, movies on offense, very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk

with joggers archipelago homer, the joe san diego garcia, the largest island in the archipelago is now the location of a very large u. s. military base. euclid of a med give our i to the u. s. government to make a military base and just deported all of the juggle send people from their country so big caught return back on the island. never, never, but we are fighting. that's why i'm fact we'll fighting for the right. so i. c we do not consider the right to self determination actually applies to the trickle . since i don't, the question of self determination of the legal advice we've received is actually the trickle. since we're not and are not a people for me, it's time to move on and see what we can do. a for the child,

the said committee to return back home. there is no support from the nomination. i commission african united miss. i don't care about chug or send people a man known as 20 some years on the street up here trying to make a rep like a name for myself and my friends. a really hard talking about this school are emotionally logged in. there's a lot of good friends. manson early a . ah, but i am a blue. my bounty hunter. he saw the car wash in my family,

lou, presto. holy prism. i know he got hurt his pistol and you got your pistol. keep it on you. i don't know the same, no love among bees where we live among the we all loved each other. well, there deference other you know, when all a lot of people make it up to be the, there was just a group of older guys who let you hang around and they almost kind of treated you like a peer of a or if they was smoking cigarettes, they would hand you a cigarette. when i was drinking alcohol, they will let you ship awesome alcohol paid attention. find a they really kind of genuinely care and they may have been in subtle ways. like

had a you a few dollars giving you a nickname. so to speak, but you know, i think the for young kids build a meaningful we want it to be like, oh jeez. who would be in the prison? came home. they got to respond because they went to prison. darcy and went to prison. we want to be like them all my friends is either in prison, nan forever or day. so douglas, all relic out, i wasn't certain, i could find it. and it was actually out the office. i dug it out there. missing it got a day back to 8889. we were educating ourselves nerves, so many kids out here run in his gang members. we started keeping a notebook on him and mr. and getting pictures,

and they found out we had it and they all want to see someone come up and say my, my face is an inner, it goes for a photograph. those are all the original kids that were recruited and ta to be gang members by the ela gangs. they were smart, they were natural leaders. the other kids looked up to him and listen to him. they could all do math in their head. you know, they all thought they were stupid or whatever because they didn't finish school, but they knew how many houses or an a pound, how many a balls you could get our men out, how much money they should get back, how much they were owed. they were sharp little guys, they had to be 10 or 12 now. when the 1st time that i've ever encountered law enforcement, i was young. i was

a kid. i'm running away from home. i was basically living in this abandoned house with all of these other teenagers and kids . one more than i was ride my bike and i was cutting through the house because the house you kind of like a, a shortcut, you know, to the next block. seeing some police in the backyard this morning, the police officer who drew down on them, telling me don't move. she was going to that's a for some other that a rest instead of taking me home and sent me to juvenile level, i guess they kind of charge us when burglary for those kids at home when i kind of played them as my family. when not and, and

a home. that's what was there for me. every single huh. what did you would i'll always met somebody who did something different. oh, my never met, not a you kid before my life. but all of a sudden i me was say it say how he's in here for possession of crack cocaine. you know, dan and he was making 2 or 300. all that paperwork no longer. i'm on jet or selling arms. now would you rather do what you just fuel the mom as a nation? because you all my a had a we was shut out economically. who is still shut out economically? the institutional racism that we have around economic steel persists the

underlying issues m. j disparities with education, with employment, with health care, with transportation, with housing. oh, let's look at drugs and let's look a gang pleasant look about the outcome those a night input. the inputs are the disparities that lead to that bill, america, money, speech, money makes policy money decides who makes money off of drugs and who's communities are devastated. it is systemic. are we really saying to ourselves in this? got that money has warm bon any other pain and how to get it and who you get it from an injustice and all that other stuff

is just the system is a fund henry. yes. if that's all you leave for me to l, i will make it work when they was killed in a hoax for white bulls. you know, while you slade 8, what she had left it damn sure didn't leave no pork roast for me and no, no, no, no baby back ribs. i got a snout, a ears, a to good. good kids. and mama mill made it to the best they could because that was worth it. if you leave room to drugs, alcohol criminal activity to make a live legal make a letter from the church in the church. a

lawyer i was a single mother raising 2 children and the hilton didn't have much money. the california gaines came up, made it so appealing to be a gang member. i could maybe put $10.00 in his pocket for allowance where they would give him a $1000.00 in his pocket. i always think that if willing had been younger older, he wouldn't have been swept into that lifestyle. but he was just a prime age for what they were looking for. he was 11 and they were already starting to recruiting process to get willie and many other young ones to sound rock, cocaine in powder cocaine. one time he told me that he wasn't going to go to school and i told him you're going to school today. and he made a phone call and 10 minutes later there was 3 cars in the alley, gang members sitting on the hood of the car as they were vanishing gun. and they

told me, says i'm going to school today, can he's coming with us. i took him, i felt so helpless like what, how do i fight this? calling the police? they didn't care. i said it was his choice, not when it took off and that's when it got so violent. lot of kids run around. wow. i lost about like 30 brands at this time. what we really didn't know how many lies is affecting how bad it would end up being. it just got worse. and then finally, one day i was at work in my husband at the time, told me you need to get home because a place i go into your house to search warrants. and when i got home, they said, your son crossed the line this time and we got him from the school. when he was 17 and 18, they sent him to 100 years and press ah

then a money with my la

i've actually found safety and embraces naziism as a juice. all of a sudden you're placed in a position where i can defend myself. now, i don't have to be afraid any more. on one hand, i'm terrified that they're going to find that i'm jewish, but on the other, i think it's so far away. i distinctly remember my mom sitting me down one night and her st. john, they're going to hurt one guy, hunch me behind my ear, or somebody shell now and the rest. and the punches are started flying in, somebody shouted out, died, you boy died. and at that point i knew there. so i remember had an indian doctor, they came in and looked and said that there's no medical reason wires you should be alive to find something to believe. john story is a story of how the story of victory and whatever i can do to help him. i would deal

with him in elementary school. the teachers called me that problem kid. so i was labeled early. i ended up getting kicked out of school. i was 1617 and 18 though. should have been my graduation high school years. but at stan, i'm on the streets selling crack, gang bang and bacon that i was going to make to see 21.
