Roll in and Different Things that are in there different subsets of the same game theyre all creature eclipse and that theres 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 thats thats the main source of most of their income. And thats what drives a lot of the violence thats out here we have were way down in murders historically for this area but were still i think were 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 thats thats the lowest amount of murders weve had in decades and its virtually all gang related there are some that arent and you have some Domestic Violence but most of its gang related and a lot of its doper than were going to go eat.

You know it was probably going to. Be like i dont. Know enough to know right. Now. Its just a few moments when. We game and we represent a project live we always do it out but at the same time a still Something Else out there bigger than this im not i never stop playing now this model that i lead as pays to dev as us want to see some beer for all of us to grow and succeed off got be that counted out to wait for the bot. Well you think. What. Every day man i gotta get me one and i did the good. China stuff i stopped. Complaining pretty. Peeved a wasp it was a day when he. Why a paradise with some ground turned into a round the experimentation field for agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants theres 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 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 Research going on in hawaii whether these Companies Feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power. Thats my life you know i started out australia 40 years ago and ive been living in the log cheeriest life of ever cheaper money ever since literally not having to work a day in my life because the assets bought it 40 years ago gone straight up. Your officer. Told you to get up off the ground or begin to pay him down. Your damn freeze on the sounds of an mit grown man the christening essentially the overseer of the. Druids or the john in the individuals who wish to do away from the officers of the joyriders group. The im sorry did they kind of lunge for the web in one smiths and then when it happened on trace one and im suspicious didnt hit them i never saw any contact with. Any kind of went back to where they were so the answers back here theyre try again 15 feet apart at this point and thats when the officer pulled out his gun and even turned 3. Moved up into the big time they mail me more robert. Scales and its. Only through the surveillance photos that we got it was probably the. Rest of. This community and there are people who believe that its ok to to sell marijuana to put food on the table its ok to sell fact about food on my table and thats when i got a tail its 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 ive got kids that have to eat and as a parent. I cant come up with a logical argument to say that if i were in that situation and thats the only option i had that i wouldnt do the same thing. And so its been really important to me to try and build some understanding in the Police Officers in the realities of the community and that doesnt mean by any. In the 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 its a victimless crime its not there are people dying over it several years ago in the early sixtys this community was predominantly white and you had the steel mills and you had a lot of economic world and then the riots came a lot of those folks in a lot of those businesses left the Community One 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 dont believe theres been enough time in dedication and passion income compassion and 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 its been 20 years since the last one. But the riots the 65 riots the 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 isnt a sit down restaurant in watts there isnt a Movie Theater 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 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. That was going to. Get me and he said well you know the campaign youre like oh. Its so and were going to hear you let down like you want to lie in state. You know saying stay hustlin really before felon bros i was really hold on no redemption all day and one day and im not going to you just like im not going to you know that ill believe you know say ill be here with nobody to you or me even by being you youll be in a failing on me you know saying i feel like you cant make it you know im saying theres a way you can make it on me they got programs for you to get into how many you can get you a job or a legitimate job and then at the word about all that money but the clothes that the people go. So help me get a job they got right now ive been looking for 5 months bro. I mean months 5 months im tired im ready to give up so youve been hustling. Same. Access to good ground for the hours theyre out here on the streets you get hanging in life or you know Assault Rifle that day for less than a 1000. 00. Here you know the heart is here and it is.

It is really going to be a good look at it go to just look. At it down town by the clear. Time about sound outside i have lost many friends of the my life time but the passing of my brother thats what hit me the most. Was and i took a big toll on the passing of my brother but i deal with him every day listening to that every day when i lost in a frame before you wrote to me so it had heard me but. Not to the extent that i lost my brother. I mean and in a few years later my son i lose my sister my sister geeky oh. So i still havent recovered from all that like the saddest feel taken oh you know toll on me to where i havent found a way to cope. I am. I and. Theres 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 Sheriffs Department there there were more shooting incentives 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 were in an area where people who are constantly hurting and costly in need so we have to look beyond ourself and look forward helping people we have so many people that dont have a father so i can serve as our role model and that image and to give a positive light on many people who havent seen productive africanamerican 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 theyll search and search and then theyll 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 try to be is. Really there let them know your need again have a sense of selfworth. With the lord. They you can have a different sense of selfworth and you dont have to depend on anyone and besides that you can get involved in something thats on this gritty you can be more.

Their rival gang raping creeps in the same problem the way to make money in sales a narcotic in the motivation to stay within the gang isnt is a live in haiti is an ongoing feud between the great 3 crips and the montana bloods weve 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. This place is what you call the mothership. The bloods. Originated here if youre going to western movies they had to Bounty Hunters. And during that time they used to you know watch the western movies and always talk about the Bounty Hunters and thats 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 theres a murder between 2 powerful gangs a few results from the one incident. Kills a bonding time and then the bombing im going to get together and they need to retaliate and the more violent gang is. The more respect it has the more violent gang it is the more successful the more violent the gang is the more the Community Feels that they are intimidated and they cant do anything about it and thats how they were on the streets.
