The bribe I took last year,
when the L rookies shut down some folks,
right in the middle of where we walking now.
It's a little gang violence
or just to live life in this neighborhood.
And now we see the fort where the fort used to stand.
Just a block from my house is a big vacant lot.
That's where the fort used to be.
And the old movie theater there
with the headquarters for the L rookies speaking.
Until the city tore it down.
We're standing on the ground now.
We're still getting prosecuted,
police barricaded.
We're just in that grave.
A lot of kids we grew up with are already doing gangs.
When we were walking around the neighborhood,
we spot our friend Gary selling drugs.
Yes!
Show up, man!
Deanna asked him what his daughter would be doing in 10 years,
since he already dropped out of school.
I'm gonna look you in the eye and see you in the back of the
room selling a bunch of drugs and see you gonna pop my ass.
He says he won't be alive until he got rid of some of the drugs.
Some of them are going to shoot him, he said.
I don't know why some kids just give up hope,
and others like me and Lori hold on.
Maybe it's just that both me and Lori
have at least one strong personal love.
