To whoever asked me if I actually know if those are 20K watches or if im just saying this to be "edgy" then delete their comment ive been a watch collector for the past 10 years and frequent watch forums....I know watches very well so I can say confidently the watches they are wearing cost a pretty penny.
I'm from Chicago. Just a few nights ago me and my friend we're standing outside talking. A car slowed down a bit and looked over at us then went around the corner right over on South Chicago. Soon after gunshots rang off, then soon after that 5 squad cars raced down that way also. Just something as simple as talking to you friend outside could turn into a deadly encounter.
king Dione I lived in Chicago in my early 20s... I am a white boy who had friends who lived in bad areas on the south side.. I would go to parties and ride the orange line late at night. I never once felt threatened. 12 years later... I wouldn't step foot on those same streets. It is a war zone. Stay safe on those streets my brother, nothing but love.
king Dione This is so hard to imagine for me as an European. It sounds like from a movie. I am really grateful for the place where I was born and still live. No one carries a gun in my country, because everyone feels safe here. Take care
At some point the news is wasting time that could be spent improving my own consciousness. It is said that as air carries aroma, consciousness carries the soul. Air may continually carry the fragrance of a rose garden, as it passes, and the same air can carry the foul smell of gunpowder and dead innocent people. We're not meant to stay in bad consciousness, although it is just as much part of this mortal world as enlightened thinking. But humans get to use their facility of human form as they choose, and reap what we sow.
King JCG I’m from south side Chicago and today this man came up white man saying shot how he finna change tho hood tf nigga u ain’t gonna change shit just make it worse
Word of the wise: You wanna know why you always find liquor stores, churches, and lottery in hoods? Because they all use emotion to separate fools from their money.
Well bro, Jesus is the main point of Christianity. It’s about the power in which Christ has. Power over sin. Jesus died for our sins, and rose and defeated sin. So if he came back, it’s no sin that’s not accounted for. So when he said that it was like...what?
bible says in the last days the world will be very violent and they will hate God, and God comes back with sword to kill the ungodly thats why he said that
It's sad listen to that young man speak. You can tell that if he was born in a better situation he would be successful in life. His replies to questions are very prompt and honest reality in his environment.
I'm from the Southside of Chicago. Even if you go to the "better" neighborhoods there is still so much violence. I remember growing up in a neighborhood that is not the best but not the worst. When I would walk home sometimes there would be gun shots from nearby. You would have to watch some of the colors that you wore to make sure that they weren't gang colors. Many people I know are in gangs and/or sell guns and drugs. Family members in and out of jail. There are so many other things like gruesome murders right around the corner and people shooting each other right in front of my house. It's insane. I'm just glad I never got caught up in anything like that.
You should feel so proud of yourself & should never stop. It takes people like you to show the others that what they may think is impossible, is possible! That what might seem lame, is actually the gateway to freedom, happiness, success.
I am glad you got out of those horrible neighborhoods. So much of Chicago is completely dysfunctional. As a resident of Lakeview though I will say that much of the north side feels like a different planet. People up here are unfortunately more than content to ignore what's going on less than 10 miles away.
Agreed. I was born in Chicago in 86, and have lived here all my life. I spent the first 10 to 15 years of my life by North Avenue. It's really not that bad of a neighborhood compared to many other places in the city that are like war zones. But there's still people getting shot, slinging dope, and all the rest, every single day. It's just sad when everyone you know has been shot or knows someone who's been shot. Every body has buried some one by the time they get outta grade school. This shouldn't be normal for any of us. But it is normal for us. It's hard, and it's sad.
J Briggs because they're fuckin stupid. just like people who kill their spouses instead of getting a divorce them. but religion dealers are fuckin liars
A bandage won't fix these problems the wounds are too deep. People need to stop looking at the surface symptoms and delve a little deeper to treat the cause.
@@UdumbaraMusic That was my first thought, ain’t no guy from outside Chicago on speed dial with the heavy hitters here. Unless he is helping people move merchandise and get supplies, but just a regular guy or community leader? Ain’t gonna happen, he definitely just made that up to make himself more important to politicians.
Really, mess with the Yakuza and you end up with no fingers, a missing ear, everything taken from you and your family threatened, that seem like weak to you? They have ACTUAL political power.
The guy said “ I’d rather do a few years in the penitentiary, than life in a cemetery”. Damn, that’s crazy. I can’t imagine dealing with circumstances that cause me to have a mindset like that.
Thank God he got me and mine out 🙏♥️ my first time seeing a dead teenage boys body, I was 9. 58th Halsted. Then repeatedly hearing the youth die that I grew up with. Breaks my freaking heart! You just learn to maneuver and pray, and God is the only one who can lead you out such dangerous place 🙏😭😭😭😭 I remember walking home form work one night and getting a few houses down from where the gang was, I just heard 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 I felt like a trackstar that night, I got in my hallway and dropped to my knees crying thanking God because I couldn’t tell you which direction they were shooting, all I know is God there has to be a way away from here. That’s when I got pregnant and moved away 🥺 my heart bleeds for this city because under all the pain and blood shed, it truly is a beautiful city! Food, scenery, music, art, tradition. Praying for change 🙏
@Archie HW ain't nothing wrong with living with your parents at 20, 30 or even 50, as long as you're not a dead beat. Some parents love to be around their children.
salt actually dehaydratrates the out layer of flesh and prevents infections from propagating thus promoting healing of the wound!!!!! same applies to religion.
Johnny Hansen No you wrong. Atlanta's six zones in 2016 shows 111 murders. Zone 3 was the deadliest, just barely edging out Zone 1, which is usually at the top of the list. Meanwhile, Zone 2, one of the biggest areas on the map, had only three murders for the entire year. As of 2017 Murders in Atlanta are way up, but overall crime is way down.
John Smith he didn’t really have a choice in the streets its eat or get eaten if u ain’t got no job and u need to provide for yourself and your family u don’t just sit around u gotta go get your money and hustle to get out the streets then help your real friends make it out
Rest Easy 🕊👼🏽 Lavontay, Mekhi, Sincere, Takiya, Tyshawn and countless other babies and children who have passed on to a better life than what this cold bitter world could ever offer. We will never forget you all 💜💜💜💜💜
M A watch hidden colors, We had black Wall Street with hundreds of businesses but they were destroyed by white racist people. They killed hundreds of black people in 1921. Literally displaced thousands of black people and set us back. This isn’t the only city where white people have destroyed what we have built. You are probably a grown ass man you should know this.
OK keep crying about the past. 1921, who fucking cares what happened back then. Look at the history of Germany or Japan look where they were and where they are now. wake up no one cares what has happened in the past. Only the strong will overcome and adapt. Opportunities are out there you just got to be optimistic and work hard and one day you'll be something.
I think it's good reporting -- the reporter is trying to ask the questions her audience would ask, and the audience is ignorant and out of touch (like me)
Easier said than done. It's the communities that need to cease the violence between each other. The communities need to rise up and take accountability for what they are doing for what they have turned their communities into and take that to improve for the betterment for all of them.
Exactly! I’m from the Southside and it’s just crazy how wicked everything has gotten smh. I’ll never go back for fear of being an innocent target.😢 can’t look back 🥺
www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/ward-room/emanuel-colbert-463676883.html This was awhile back though. Thankfully the community is raising it's voice and naturally he is changing his tune hopefully. Praying for change
Okay I'm from Chicago lived there for 7 years of my early life and I'm black. I lived in the north side and i have seen the south side and let me tell you it's crazy. Kids coming up to you saying "can I please have food my dada in jail" "Can I have a place to sleep my momma got shot" it's horrible and you know why this whole gang violence cycle keeps repeating, when they learn at a early age Hey look at those people stealing let me try or oh my friend started drugs and she is feeling better they try to do that and end up in jail or dead. The cycle repeats with there children have you heard of this saying "You either get famous or you die trying" that's very true in South Chicago. Instead of North Chicago putting money into the youth's that live there so they have a better life they put the money to our beautiful sky scrapers and our big statues. Yet really if we want a change we need to start with the kids because the kids are the future. I live in Illinois still but in a nicer place but I still think we should help those that don't have my, yours, our opportunities
You're right. We do need to put the children first. Stop sending children to the god awful union schools. Send them to private or charter schools where there is an actual standard for success.
5 years later and this place is still very dangerous. I live towards the south of chicago and I heard a shootout blocks away from me last night. It’s not better.
I was there two weeks ago, took my friend to go see a church she always wanted to visit and immediately was followed by two black SUV's. Every turn I went they followed and knew something was up but I didn't wanna say anything to her. This was around west side near Humboldt. The church was closed and immediately a few people nearby started yelling at us to go back where we came. So glad I took the exit to the interstate and left. That whole are is a hot zone for sure.
I knew they didn't invite the gang members , so how do you solve the problem of the people if you don't reach out and listen to them , that's crazy Darrell Scott a pastor of little faith reason i say that my grandmother was a Rev and I've never heard her say if God himself came down here he wouldn't be able to cease fire I'm blown away there is nothing too hard for God is he crazy
@@miguelalvarado1792 I'm from the future where we have to live underground away from the blistering heat, and we have to frequently cannibalize our young to make it through the off seasons.
Why does everything have to be about President Trump? Chicago violence is a real story that needs it's own coverage, but instead you made this all about Donald Trump. Typical "journalism" these days.
There is truth to your comment. To be fair, it is reporting more on the "interventions" that politicians/religious leaders are asserting to prevent violence in Chicago and how the translation to real world action fails.
cara Nobody can fix these people’s problems except for these people. They seem content to kill each other. They say “give us jobs.” Who’s going to open a business in a war zone.
Watching this video has opened my eyes as to the underlying issue no only in chicago but everywhere that are facing this same issue. There is a conflict of interest between "community leaders" that are only in it for themselves, and those who legitimately want things to get and be better than all the senseless killings and deaths that happen every day. It would be nice if some would quit trying to put their name out there just to get rich at the expense of their neighbors.
word ! But the poor educational system and cturbo UD apitalism plus the NRA will always be there and many people from poor neighbourhoods will die. This will go on for decades....I fear.....
DJ FX Martin Luther king Jr what ? He didn't help the people he made them believe that we could actually become one with these demons. Wake up already, the world is against brown and blacks.
Yeah when there's like 10+ mini wars going on within a city where not even children are safe from a bullet this tends to happen. Thank your God the government likes your skin color
So many of these Chicago “community organizers” are not looking out for theirs. Many pastors are trying to line their pockets. This is such a bad situation. I can’t imagine living where there are no jobs, oppressive policing, kids that don’t have hope. There are so many kids in these areas that are really smart and full of potential
we just need to send marines in and smoke every gang member out, these people dont care so why should we? shoot them all and be done with it, the world would become better overnight if we did.
@@BladedBear again this is part of the grift, reagan convinced a generation of idiots that government was the problem. Then when and made it a true statement.
1000 gunshot victims in 2017??? That is insanity. I live in Toronto, same size city, only in a different country. As of today there have been 19 murders, of which 15 involved a gun. Unbelievable America. That is a monumental fail on every level. There's enough blame to go around the table two times.
Chanler, I absolutely agree. Everybody needs to take ownership of these problems regardless of the number of murders or the targets. We have public housing close to our home and when the politicians decided to rebuild the public housing I was one of the first to get involved. I believe in standing up for everybody. i.e. safe communities for everyone. Fight against ghettoization. If our American friends think it's not their problem because they live in the suburbs, take a look at how much it costs in your tax dollars incarcerating criminals. I bet you could help rebuild every house in these ghettos and train the local kids to have skilled jobs than dealing with this carnage. Unfortunately, in these American cities, the people with money are physically so far away it's easy for them to think it's not their problem.
Hey Chanler, Breaking up the Chicago public housing was the only way to go. People inside that community need to integrate into diverse communities. Scattered housing is only the first small step in a very long process of reintegrating a community forced to the edges of society. If they didn't arrange long term help (i.e. big brothers, social workers, basic job training) yes the gangs remain gangs. All of these public housing ghettos are wrong and were neglected for 50 years. You're not going to change the mindset of people overnight. Chicago did the right thing but maybe they didn't have a plan to help these gang members move on in their lives. This video reveals the fundamental philosophy of these gang members, eye for an eye...but I guess they didn't read the whole phrase which is "An eye-for-eye and tooth-for-tooth would lead to a world of the blind and toothless."
Chanler, these place weren't just fortresses, they set up the community so vulnerable low income kids were only meeting each other. They banded together and the gangs morphed out of high density low income ghettos. There was a small program for disadvantaged kids near our local public housing run by an ex gang member. This guy was awesome. He was a big brother to all the kids and they loved hanging out with him. He was cool, he gave them his time and love but he was also tough and had expectations of them. No BS. The best part of this was he wasn't an "outsider". He's paid a regular wage and did the job of 20 social workers imo.
With all due respect, iTz Axis, stop making excuses, people like you are a big part of the problem. I've heard every excuse in the book. The reality is, these gang members just gave up and didn't want to take responsibility for their lives. They picked up a gun because that was the easiest way to gain control over their lives...become powerful, not realizing what kind of world that comes along with it. They bought into America's perverse belief that the gun is the ultimate solution for any conflict. Didn't work out that well did it? The inner city black community got screwed and instead of banding together to support each other they picked up a gun to shoot each other.
I'll tell you that in Toronto the gunshot victim and the deaths by guns is within a dozen.... Meaning on average there are between 40 & 50 deaths by gun and maybe 60 gunshot victims who survive.
I honestly don't think the violence will ever stop. Yes I have lived in Chicago and saw way too much. Grateful I got out and my son wasn't raised there.
It reached 1000 shootings in a couple months on total there was 2’785 shooting in Chicago. And Chicago has 260 homicides in 2017 while St. Louis had about 190 homicides. So we know which city is worse which is my city, Chicago
These meetings aren't effective ... how tf are you gonna have a meeting about changing Chicago within walking distance from the White House... That meeting is essentially behind closed doors.. you can brainstorm good ideas about how to change the city for the better but if you don't get out there in THE FIELD where it's really cracking then you aren't gonna have much change if any at all. The GD members are right, in those meetings are all people in suit and ties when really the higher, older gang members (and even the more popular rappers from the city) needa be in those meetings. It doesn't take a genius to know that a kid from Chicago would be MORE LIKELY to listen to someone (gang member) that has been in his position before than some outsider in a suit and tie that has never had half the struggles of the very same little kid growing up.. Some of these people seem phony as hell.. it don't take a wizard to know that you have to reach out to the people of Chicago that actually have an influence in order to make a change..
tdub3366 you could look it at like that or you could look at like who would listen to some gangster or thug , then a person who's successful in a suit.?
The only people effected by Chicago violence is Poor people; Those politicians don't care about poor ppl. in Chicago, they have set the system up to fail. It has always been like that. It started Centuries ago. If you keep some one hungry long enough they will fight like animals to survive. A thing to note here young people, there are some real thugs out in the city that are literally just without Education, so their being ignorant and violent is their only way out to keep from being embrassed about not being Educated, so they weep havoc on others they are bullys. The leaders could careless and they don't even live in the city. Look and read of the hutoos and the tutoos in Africa, how they were put up against one another same thing here in the 21st century.
Gangs would just find another way how to make money in criminal ways... Extortion, kidnaping, selling drugs to rich people, heists etc. They turn criminals because from young age they can make more than they could in part-time jobs or even full time jobs if they could find any...Like who is going to hire a 12-14 years old kids? The gangs not so much anyone else.
you're right. these meetings are nothing but a facade. the only thing that will change gangsters' minds are themselves, and as you can tell from the end of this video, they don't have any intention of doing so.
"It can't be too much, we're too deep now." That man accurately described the problem in Chicago, when that kind of life captures kids from birth how the hell are they suppose to escape something they find normal? Activisim and laws directed towards guns and violence is not gonna stop the homicide rate in Chicago. Laws and regulations to kill the value of drugs which and some set categories of weapons will stop the violence. Draining money from the gangs will halt the majority of violence in Chicago simply because they wont have any clean money to buy goods with. They'll run out of bullets, weapons, and their drugs will be worthless ultimately giving them no option to earn any kind of money. If congress make schedule 1 drugs legal, cocaine, heroine, PCP etc its done, all of it will be worth zero because now it will be legal to make in your own kitchen. What are they gonna sell after that? What are they gonna do business with? Nothing because if they were doing business with legal capital then they wouldn't be shooting each other up over it, they wouldn't be considered criminals. It's just my opinion, completely open to debate and other opinions regarding this topic.
You have truth in your point, if they stop the drugs from coming in it will Stop (but that is to much like right and some of those leaders are getting their cut. This merch is coming in on boats and equipment that people of color don't have money to buy so who is the real culpurit? it is not the people of color, you can bet that. You are correct Gary, it has effected the children and they think it is a normal life
I can appreciate your sentiment, truly. However legalizing class A narcotics would not solve the problem. You would just end up with a ton of blown up crack dens. A guy strung out on crack or heroin would still be just as violent
the last dude who spoke is the one who spoke the real truth throughout the whole documeantary.. he knows what it is and how it is!! i hope he stayed alive

Johnny Hansen No you wrong. Atlanta's six zones in 2016 shows 111 murders. Zone 3 was the deadliest, just barely edging out Zone 1, which is usually at the top of the list. Meanwhile, Zone 2, one of the biggest areas on the map, had only three murders for the entire year. As of 2017 Murders in Atlanta are way up, but overall crime is way down.
Clowns like Johnny Hansen and Queen Nubia is why the crime won't stop. Some idiots take pride in how many people were murdered in their city.

M A watch hidden colors, We had black Wall Street with hundreds of businesses but they were destroyed by white racist people. They killed hundreds of black people in 1921. Literally displaced thousands of black people and set us back. This isn’t the only city where white people have destroyed what we have built. You are probably a grown ass man you should know this.
OK keep crying about the past. 1921, who fucking cares what happened back then. Look at the history of Germany or Japan look where they were and where they are now. wake up no one cares what has happened in the past. Only the strong will overcome and adapt. Opportunities are out there you just got to be optimistic and work hard and one day you'll be something.

anybody can go to a funeral. put that energy into stopping the violence
Easier said than done. It's the communities that need to cease the violence between each other. The communities need to rise up and take accountability for what they are doing for what they have turned their communities into and take that to improve for the betterment for all of them.

Kids coming up to you saying "can I please have food my dada in jail" "Can I have a place to sleep my momma got shot" it's horrible and you know why this whole gang violence cycle keeps repeating, when they learn at a early age Hey look at those people stealing let me try or oh my friend started drugs and she is feeling better they try to do that and end up in jail or dead. The cycle repeats with there children have you heard of this saying "You either get famous or you die trying" that's very true in South Chicago. Instead of North Chicago putting money into the youth's that live there so they have a better life they put the money to our beautiful sky scrapers and our big statues. Yet really if we want a change we need to start with the kids because the kids are the future. I live in Illinois still but in a nicer place but I still think we should help those that don't have my, yours, our opportunities
You're right. We do need to put the children first. Stop sending children to the god awful union schools. Send them to private or charter schools where there is an actual standard for success.

Why does everything have to be about President Trump? Chicago violence is a real story that needs it's own coverage, but instead you made this all about Donald Trump. Typical "journalism" these days.
There is truth to your comment. To be fair, it is reporting more on the "interventions" that politicians/religious leaders are asserting to prevent violence in Chicago and how the translation to real world action fails.
Well he is the president
True. This was a problem waaaay before he was on the scene.

Stupid!!
Watching this video has opened my eyes as to the underlying issue no only in chicago but everywhere that are facing this same issue. There is a conflict of interest between "community leaders" that are only in it for themselves, and those who legitimately want things to get and be better than all the senseless killings and deaths that happen every day. It would be nice if some would quit trying to put their name out there just to get rich at the expense of their neighbors.

Parents are doing a terrible job now a days. Kids raising kids, children growing up without fathers, no spiritual guidance..no guidance at all!
So many of these Chicago “community organizers” are not looking out for theirs. Many pastors are trying to line their pockets. This is such a bad situation. I can’t imagine living where there are no jobs, oppressive policing, kids that don’t have hope. There are so many kids in these areas that are really smart and full of potential

that wound look like after I sliced into a thanksgiving turkey.
Hey Vice u did a great job of perpetuating that feeling of hopelessness.
Fact!! He was just too ignorant to see it.
1000 gunshot victims in 2017??? That is insanity. I live in Toronto, same size city, only in a different country. As of today there have been 19 murders, of which 15 involved a gun. Unbelievable America. That is a monumental fail on every level. There's enough blame to go around the table two times.
Chanler, I absolutely agree. Everybody needs to take ownership of these problems regardless of the number of murders or the targets. We have public housing close to our home and when the politicians decided to rebuild the public housing I was one of the first to get involved. I believe in standing up for everybody. i.e. safe communities for everyone. Fight against ghettoization.
If our American friends think it's not their problem because they live in the suburbs, take a look at how much it costs in your tax dollars incarcerating criminals. I bet you could help rebuild every house in these ghettos and train the local kids to have skilled jobs than dealing with this carnage.
Unfortunately, in these American cities, the people with money are physically so far away it's easy for them to think it's not their problem.
Hey Chanler, Breaking up the Chicago public housing was the only way to go. People inside that community need to integrate into diverse communities. Scattered housing is only the first small step in a very long process of reintegrating a community forced to the edges of society. If they didn't arrange long term help (i.e. big brothers, social workers, basic job training) yes the gangs remain gangs.
All of these public housing ghettos are wrong and were neglected for 50 years. You're not going to change the mindset of people overnight. Chicago did the right thing but maybe they didn't have a plan to help these gang members move on in their lives.
This video reveals the fundamental philosophy of these gang members, eye for an eye...but I guess they didn't read the whole phrase which is "An eye-for-eye and tooth-for-tooth would lead to a world of the blind and toothless."
Chanler, these place weren't just fortresses, they set up the community so vulnerable low income kids were only meeting each other. They banded together and the gangs morphed out of high density low income ghettos.
There was a small program for disadvantaged kids near our local public housing run by an ex gang member. This guy was awesome. He was a big brother to all the kids and they loved hanging out with him. He was cool, he gave them his time and love but he was also tough and had expectations of them. No BS. The best part of this was he wasn't an "outsider". He's paid a regular wage and did the job of 20 social workers imo.
With all due respect, iTz Axis, stop making excuses, people like you are a big part of the problem. I've heard every excuse in the book. The reality is, these gang members just gave up and didn't want to take responsibility for their lives. They picked up a gun because that was the easiest way to gain control over their lives...become powerful, not realizing what kind of world that comes along with it. They bought into America's perverse belief that the gun is the ultimate solution for any conflict. Didn't work out that well did it?
The inner city black community got screwed and instead of banding together to support each other they picked up a gun to shoot each other.
I'll tell you that in Toronto the gunshot victim and the deaths by guns is within a dozen.... Meaning on average there are between 40 & 50 deaths by gun and maybe 60 gunshot victims who survive.
I guess a good way to look at it is forgetting your gun in Chicago is like forgetting your phone for a normal person😂
Hardly the same thing considering one is a matter of life and death.
Every person will tell you they carry their gun to protect themselves from the enemy (valid point) not realizing they are an enemy to someone else
These boys/men just need strong fathers, plain and simple. It is not complicated.
Leave it to a pastor from Ohio who never even stepped into Chicago to handle the problem.

These meetings aren't effective ... how tf are you gonna have a meeting about changing Chicago within walking distance from the White House... That meeting is essentially behind closed doors.. you can brainstorm good ideas about how to change the city for the better but if you don't get out there in THE FIELD where it's really cracking then you aren't gonna have much change if any at all. The GD members are right, in those meetings are all people in suit and ties when really the higher, older gang members (and even the more popular rappers from the city) needa be in those meetings.
It doesn't take a genius to know that a kid from Chicago would be MORE LIKELY to listen to someone (gang member) that has been in his position before than some outsider in a suit and tie that has never had half the struggles of the very same little kid growing up..
Some of these people seem phony as hell.. it don't take a wizard to know that you have to reach out to the people of Chicago that actually have an influence in order to make a change..
tdub3366 you could look it at like that or you could look at like who would listen to some gangster or thug , then a person who's successful in a suit.?
The only people effected by Chicago violence is Poor people; Those politicians don't care about poor ppl. in Chicago, they have set the system up to fail. It has always been like that. It started Centuries ago. If you keep some one hungry long enough they will fight like animals to survive. A thing to note here young people, there are some real thugs out in the city that are literally just without Education, so their being ignorant and violent is their only way out to keep from being embrassed about not being Educated, so they weep havoc on others they are bullys. The leaders could careless and they don't even live in the city. Look and read of the hutoos and the tutoos in Africa, how they were put up against one another same thing here in the 21st century.
tdub3366 interesting
Gangs would just find another way how to make money in criminal ways... Extortion, kidnaping, selling drugs to rich people, heists etc. They turn criminals because from young age they can make more than they could in part-time jobs or even full time jobs if they could find any...Like who is going to hire a 12-14 years old kids? The gangs not so much anyone else.
you're right. these meetings are nothing but a facade. the only thing that will change gangsters' minds are themselves, and as you can tell from the end of this video, they don't have any intention of doing so.
That's Lloyd Banks or Brian Pump😂😂

Should be titled “Meet the gang members… for about 45 seconds”
"It can't be too much, we're too deep now." That man accurately described the problem in Chicago, when that kind of life captures kids from birth how the hell are they suppose to escape something they find normal? Activisim and laws directed towards guns and violence is not gonna stop the homicide rate in Chicago. Laws and regulations to kill the value of drugs which and some set categories of weapons will stop the violence. Draining money from the gangs will halt the majority of violence in Chicago simply because they wont have any clean money to buy goods with. They'll run out of bullets, weapons, and their drugs will be worthless ultimately giving them no option to earn any kind of money. If congress make schedule 1 drugs legal, cocaine, heroine, PCP etc its done, all of it will be worth zero because now it will be legal to make in your own kitchen. What are they gonna sell after that? What are they gonna do business with? Nothing because if they were doing business with legal capital then they wouldn't be shooting each other up over it, they wouldn't be considered criminals. It's just my opinion, completely open to debate and other opinions regarding this topic.
You have truth in your point, if they stop the drugs from coming in it will Stop (but that is to much like right and some of those leaders are getting their cut. This merch is coming in on boats and equipment that people of color don't have money to buy so who is the real culpurit? it is not the people of color, you can bet that. You are correct Gary, it has effected the children and they think it is a normal life
Truth
