In between the games 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 are you have some Domestic Violence but most of its getting late in a lot of its doper than were going to go we. Want to boys you know average up to a dollar and out of the day every day. As an average corner war on avoiding really got it together you can you know make a living more than a. Regular money back.

You know it was fun to be home to. Be like i dont know. Enough to know right. Now. You just feel me its one. We game and we represent a project live we always do it at 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 devils us i want to see some beer for all of us to grow and succeed often got pretty good at counting up to wait for the bot. Waiting. What. Every day man i gotta get me one and i did a good. Pretty. Peeved a wasp it was a day when. Most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the 1st one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest race in truth to stand down in the News Business you just need to ask the right questions and demand the right answer. Questions. Just look. At those confessional moments last damn fast for the last 70 and seen and done the rest of the batch promotion commission. Branches just shoot on disk in the. Asian community on long. Beach and mom was. Going to go so so i dont know pretty much the same new mama is just that are ya know. Moved to the big time they mailed me more wrong. And its. Only through the surveillance photos that we got it was. In this community there are people who believe that its ok to to sell marijuana to put food on the table its ok to sell practical food on my table and its 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. 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 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 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 dont believe theres 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 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 i was going to. Have one of the campaign youre like oh you dont. Go in there 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 i mean 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 where you would get it to how many you can get you a job or a legitimate job homey and not have to worry about all that money but the clothes that the people go.

Not talk about sound bites i have loved me for any of the my life time but the passing of my brother thats what hit me the most. Was that 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 you know had heard me but. Not to the extent that i lost my brother. I mean in a few years d 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 told on me to where i havent found a way to cope. 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 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 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 tried and it is. Really to let them know you dont need again you 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 this on a pioneer hegarty you can be more. Good news mason we started like this we will look up in a sky and starving 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 down but guess what its no yellow tape but we do it the hood knows we put it down flop people as we go do we will find out what happened your boy do it you feel me. The cameras a very powerful weapon and once you have that camera on the camera doesnt lie on actions you know you dont have to walk out down the pistol you know into any of that stuff 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 when this is say police retrieved his weapon and fired a fatal shot into the teenagers back 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 on the same who actually lives in Imperial Forces she was visiting there will be able to start before. They see what theyre going. To get that they need it. Would be. Very secure just right to. Let him know what i. Just heard from c. P. R. 30 still all the time i think theyre going to be down here are you 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 at all 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 its probably 30. 00 to 50000. 00 and we can in sales just in this develop would be biased. Their rival gang rape increase in the same problem they do make money in sales a narcotic in the motivation to stay within the gang is a nice alive in haiti its an ongoing feud between the great tree crips and the bonnie hunt of 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. Just places 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 create we took that same piece. Start calling ourselves to. It was a murder that took place on the body on a 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 a 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 cant do anything about it and thats how they run the streets. Really get the. Money to. The bigots of suits. From the. Manufacture consent to public wealth. When the ruling classes and protect themselves. In the final. We can all middle of the room sick. Paradise with all year round. Turned into a round the experimentation field but 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.
