Chicago Struggles to Change Amid Gang War | Hidden America 'Don't Shoot: I Want to Grow Up' PART 3/3

[@maximumblue8394]

In order for things to change people need to keep talking and listening to each other.

[@yepimaguyfromoc]

Dianne Sawyer is a good reporter, I'm glad to see her helping this community

[@DerrickRoseIsABeast0]

did they just forget to mention that derrick rose was there too

[@jandro2xmotivator892]

Fuck Derrick Rose kids are dying

[@itzelch35]

When I lived in Chicago I went outside and played when cars passed I ran to the door or hid behind a white car we had. Every night in Chicago I heard gunshots, when new people moved in they were like "do these gunshots bother you" and I'm just like "no, I'm used to them". That is how bad Chicago is. My brother was in a gang and he and his really nice friend almost died and some of his friends were in a wheelchair and some in the jail most were in graveyards or hospitals. He went to jail for a day and my other brother and sister were handcuffed for safety, oh and why did my brother went to jail, because he had purple shoes and purple was a gang color now at this point my brother was not in a gang. Oh also my uncle almost got shot b/c a guy fired into our house in the living room. Also me and my sister in law walked to school. Soo my life was crazy and there were even more things that happened to me and these are a few things I can think of until we moved to Plainfield away from my home city I guess.

[@jebronlames9486]

Sounds like the south side to me...

[@itzelch35]

It was north Chicago

[@GIOVANNI-og2wo]

The part you live in matters

[@3ric585]

@Random Person so true

[@bartscrush5064]

Gun's are not the problem there. It's the drugs and gangs. Those give the purpose to kill. I thought the the basket ball game idea was great because it turned gang violence into a more health competitive spirit.

[@chemiechemie2879]

Matthew Crawford i feel the comminitys are at fault as well the people need to help change as well the gang leaders need to work with the police to try to atleast calm things down or set up some boxing matches..but drugs n guns aint the much the issue i think..

[@j.s.9964]

Its not that easy. Its more complexe. Poverty and transgenerational trauma are just some of the problems.

[@mo_7199]

it'll help. taking the guns out will help somewhat. it won't solve everything, but it'll help

[@bartscrush5064]

@@mo_7199 no it won't. If you haven't noticed criminals break the law will still get gun. It sjust makes normal people soft targets

[@alexpoobum]

the break down of the family structure breeds this kind of hellhole poverty. This is school not jail, its not the real world and these are teenagers. They aren't getting guidance and a moral code at home because they are raised primarily by single mothers most of which do a shit job. fix the families and you fix the problem.

[@80scrazyshow77]

[@thereyagoo6395]

Hey Derek, good job man. I appreciate you.

[@concernedcitizen9373]

It is a shame that people have to live like this in AMERICA. We need to get fathers playing an active role in these kids life's so they have someone to guide them in the right directions

[@jagkaur2473]

This is beautiful a start to change xxx

[@botchalism]

Banning guns will have the same effect as banning drugs, diddly squat.

[@fonzoblessed3]

If a person really wants to change then they will,nightline and other forums won't do it.Some people are there for a change some are just there to be on tv.Incentives should not justify seperating yourselves from violence they are not children they are all grown enough to think for themselves.

[@Augfordpdoggie]

how about taking control of the kids and their poisoned minds?

[@3ric585]

That's a hard concept for them to grasp.

[@EBtheDopeman612]

As a former gang member and member of Criminal Gangmembers Anonymous I see this as a blessing for the city of Chicago Start some CGA groups there. Recovery from the addiction of that lifestyle isn't easy. But with the help of CGA it's possible.

[@YouTubeYouTube-hb7yq]

lmao diana's face when that girl was talking about we don't need her

[@docholiday2146]

Glad you could find jokes in such a serious piece...

[@StandedInUtah]

Move all the people who hate gangs out of the area, fence the gangs in and let them do what they do. Problem solved.

[@jacintocano6553]

Not that easy tho

[@johnvandorien4373]

Stranded in Utah Build concentration camps and torture the living shit out of the troublemakers. PERFECT SOLUTION.

[@polrealfake]

+John Vandorien Torture? KILL THOSE FUCKERS!

[@3ric585]

Good ideas

[@DarkReapersGrim]

The problem here is that there has to be a nationwide discussion about this problem. Every time this subject comes up in the national debate, it's always about putting more police in the street. That's only part of the solution. The other part is giving these people something to do. When you're not in school or working on a trade/job or out playing a sport for school, you're standing on the street corner. Solutions have to be made.

[@xixxixxi]

Thank you for the truth.

[@troycole7950]

These famous stars & basketball players football players and Hollywood rich people they need to get together open up s*** for young teenagers figure out something for them to do and enjoy it then you will get a lot of crimes off the street that's the first step second step, rich people can do this open up something small where teenagers can make money and the business can make money too is all kind of businesses that you can open up every juvenile you see in every city especially Chicago they say no jobs they got to feed their family that's all you here I can't knock them for that you got to feed your family so what they telling you is if they had a job they won't have to sell dope they won't have to do robberies they can go to work make money like working people do and with that God Bless America and I hope everybody pay attention to what I said that's what's up hit that like button if you like this comment

[@Beatbreaker34]

Is there like a full episode of this?

[@MNVikingsforever]

The lady at 2:50 is just so out of touch with reality. She forgets that we all live in the same society. The people of the US want to help the people of Chicago so that it's not just safe for the people in her neighborhood, but so that it's safe for everyone.

[@HollaBadass]

people always say get rid of the guns, but what needs to happen is we need to put these young kids in a position to succeed..Gangs are built around economics, love and family, which are the same things these kids aren't getting from their community..I love the idea of hoop tournaments and internships and making education cool..Once you create a sense of community in the community having guns won't matter because you can't kill someone you love

[@gwendolynhill3430]

WE NEED CHANGE. 😢😢😢😢😢

[@highfunq2863]

the heart is there but what is the solution.... so many ideas but which ones are practical and realistic... what are our priorities as a society... God help us

[@ryanriechman7246]

That guy at 1:57 Set That Woman Straight. Without Guns The Violence Is Higher

[@heathercorinne5876]

Time to do this again

[@maine11126]

God Bless the kids that want to become something and who are afraid to leave there homes because they are not feeling safe. It seems so selfish for those who don't think before they react and want to kill someone over nothing or something so small as O you said this about me or did this to my brother or cousin/ friend.. it has to stop and start from home. Take over your kids before the street do.

[@petepatterson6526]

Change build houses work as a team.

[@damarcuswilson]

I agree strongly. Just give them the same thing the gangs give but in love and something positive.

[@243Abolerz]

Guns aren't the problem. Its the person behind the bullet. Its the content inside hip hop like Lil Wayne, Chief Keef, Waka Flaka. We need more Kendrick Lamars, Tupacs, and Nas's in Hip hop.

[@jaybirdjetwings7516]

today in 2014 ( #christmas ) the death toll in chicago is 408, things have not changed

[@lekesiagregory1368]

That Isaiah Thomas I spelled the name wrong 😂 he from Chicago

[@DarkReapersGrim]

So will disease and cancer, but you don't let the patient die from it. You get people together who know how to effectively handle the problem and treat it thereby reducing the likelihood that it will kill you, it's the same with gangs. What do you think that people are supposed to stop in the middle of the sidewalk and just stare at the gangs loitering in a street corner and say "there's nothing we can do?" Of course not. This has to be dealt by American society as a whole.

[@JordonTheo]

of this needs to change if we want absolute equality. There is no reason that we cant have more prominent black lawyers and doctors and presidents. Racism is very much alive and well, regardless of how the media downplays it.

[@boredchannel5912]

Yea riiiiight do you have any suggestions? STFU plz.

[@damarcuswilson]

The problem is the adults don't really listen to the kids who they are trying to help. If my wife has a problem with me, I go to her and ask what can I do to help! The same thing. go to them and see what they need to help them succeed!

[@girlyirlirly]

if you believe it it will happen and it's gonna take a lot of work

[@leanthonymoore1390]

Gangs in america and across the world will always be relevant,..as long as there is poverty, drugs, and free will gangs will always be around. It's not gonna stop at all.

[@bradybauer8012]

I live in Chicago and I live in one of the best neighborhoods just move to a good neighborhood

[@tonybaloni1000]

Yeah just let me pull this money out of my asshole and move to Chicago :)

[@JAM-yj4tb]

The kids know what's up. As soon as the politicians come in you might as well dip since all they have to offer is talking points, campaigning and b.s.

[@maine11126]

I love to hear the ppl call for help. but they have to help themselves first. I look at this and want to cry because of how bad we have become..I didn't grow up in the city of Chicago, i grew up in the suburbs. I only wish that the parents wld be more parents to the kids instead of being their best friend. I just don't understand.

[@joegarcia5714]

how do you think guns get here?

exactly how is the companies fault what people do with he guns? is it the beer companies fault if someone gets drunk?

[@chalcedony100]

Obviously you do need someone to help you solve your problems. 2:45

[@chingo3387]

el prezzidentey fails to point out the criminals that do the killing, and blame on the tool that was used to kill. Plus chicago banned the guns. How is that working for them?

[@zandersmiranda9256]

See this is the biggest problem. We need to start accepting accountability of our own actions as parents and educate our kids. How can you expect police officers, politicians and or mayors to be the problem when you as parents allow them to have at home or urselfs. Quit playing the victims: If you cant instill education or be part of their developments..you blame teachers. If you allow guns at home and know they have been used as crimes..you are part of the problem and obstruction of justice. Teenagers are having children yet uneducated themselves only to instill the same mentality to their own kids which then the population of uneducated, oppressed community expecting government help rather than building themselves for a better future. Nothing will ever change racism does exist but change also exist unless the black community work together themselves so that the perception of blacks arent called the victims, lazy, loud, classless.

[@adismahmic2581]

I feel bad for the kid

[@silverdollar356]

If you get the families out of the ghetto. And treat them like human beings.That's what happens when you're living in poverty country. No joke. 🙄🖤 And who's putting the guns in the neighborhood that's the question. And drugs. 🙄🖤👎🏾

I thought it didn't matter in mexico because apparently its different from inner city areas. But i will give you the link anyways type "Illegal guns fuel drug violence in Mexico" and it will tell you everything.

[@AnnyongRings]

A nice piece, but nothing's changed. All these thugs admit its a bad situation and environment and they'd embrace a change, but they don't take change themselves so nothing will improve.

[@GrottoRunner]

Everyone should listen to #BasedGod and #StayPositive - Lil B needs to move to chicago and change the city.

[@rockster0192]

the only thing that's going to restore the peace is getting back to following the laws, statutes and commandments out the holy bible.

[@user-yh3vc8gh8k]

😥😥😥😥😥😥

[@jordans03]

I'm not trying to belittle your statement, but just being 100% with you............... Parents only play a small role in a child's decision........ Like in all honesty, and when you're in a inner city, that role played by parents is even smaller..... If a child has the urge to go kill, regardless of what his parents taught him, he will go do it........ That's just the way it goes

Your Hip-Hop can't be blamed, there are christian, non-christian, good moraled artists. It's the people born into the gang lifestyle, who happen to get into Hip-hop as well, you can't go blame Hip-Hop for all gang related activities.

Put Down The Guns Pick Up A Trade Or Get A Job Work Keep Your Self Occupied

[@80sbabytothecore1]

I never claimed to be a christian. Religion is simply just a label thats given that seperates people. But what I am is a black man who understands the mental manipulation and deceit that my people have been led to believe. Before we were bought to North America in chains, we were not christians.It was forced upon us just like the majority of colored people around the world. Im only stating facts. Im really not concerned with Jesus or Christianity, because thats not truly who or what I am.

[@fonzoblessed3]

I hate to say this but gun control will help only a little,if someone wants to kill someone they will find a way with or without a gun!!! look at the prisons they use knives and other means to get rid of their enemies!!!

Although I agree with the majority of what you said, Why does it matter what color Jesus is? It's ridiculous. Jesus and the Lord are supposed to spread love and hope, faith and healing.. who cares if they're White, Black, purple, brown, orange? It shouldn't matter. So I give this proposal to you: love who He is and the people in this world.. Don't try justifying His color or race.. You say you're 'Christian' yet you're arguing about something completely the opposite to His word- race..

[@prettyboydlove02]
