I just came across your channel and I am mind blown at the content and quality of your videos. Your videos are some of what I perceive to be, the most realistic portrayals of how life is in these areas. I am from New Zealand and in our 'hoods', life may not always be easy - but the struggle that some people in America face on a daily basis is unreal. Your videos give a whole new perspective on just how unfair life can be for some from the get-go. You give a voice to the people who need to be better understood - especially in a society that can be so judgmental towards the plight of others. Thank you, sincerely 🙏

I can’t help but think they have the ability to change their neighborhoods if they wanted too. They are the ones occupying them yet they’re warning people to stay away. Why? If I got to worry about stopping at your gas station then maybe you’re the problem. But I’ve never lived like this and don’t understand the lifestyle. I just wish these guys could see that they’re being kept down. Sometimes you gotta change your own life and stop believing that you are what people say you are. I appreciate this channel and opportunity to look into a different culture than I’m used to. These guys are all valuable and capable in some way or another they just don’t believe it. I pray God will show them how much better life could be if they’d stop believing what society tells them. Good work man!

I moved to New Orleans for several months when I was 22 as a research student. I'm from the countryside in the North of England where there are no guns and I could walk safely anywhere I wanted. Man New Orleans was a huge culture shock for me. I actually had a bit of a breakdown 3 months in. I couldn't walk 3 blocks without getting harassed by someone. I was followed continuously by men. And I didn't feel safe to leave the house after 6pm. I did, however, develop a friendship with some of the Black community leaders working in Treme. That really helped me. I was really in awe of how the Black community had established support networks to detract people from gangs. As a white woman, my worst experiences in New Orleans almost always involved white men (often from the garden district).

Hoover tried that in chicago during the late 70s and they got him. It was attempted in 1988 with a famous truce, but corrupt LA cops shot a well known crip and took his car through a blood neighborhood to start the war back up.

The east is basically the (new) uptown. Once they tore all the projects down, everybody migrated back there. Not to say uptown is a cake walk nowadays, but it’s only a shell of what it was in the 90s. Downtown is known to get it in as well. In the east, you literally could feel the crime in the air when you cross the high rise. It’s really sad when you think about it, but it’s true. To the young brothers, it’s nothing cool about losing friends/love ones as frequent as we do in N.O. I understand that we’re desensitized to the violence, but I pray we all make it out to see a better way of life. 1Luv.

I live on the Northshore and grew up about 2 hours away from Nola, but a lot of my family still lives in New Orleans. This past Mother’s Day my aunt had a gathering at her house in the East. Before we left my fiancé goes should I bring the gun? My response… yes😂. We ended up going to a restaurant with very limited seating. There were bars on the doors and you had to be buzzed in and out. One of the cooks were in pajamas and it took over an hour to receive our food. They did give me free crawfish though because it was Mother’s Day so I ain’t even mad at it😂 I worked in the Quarter during 2020 for a few months until the crime and violence started to get really bad. I hate that it’s gotten so bad because there is so much history and culture to be appreciated there. I wish these young women and men could see there is so much more to life than what they know in Nola. It doesn’t have to be a war zone. The world has so much more to offer. I was fortunate enough to have parents who wanted us to have a better life and opportunity than they had so I didn’t grow up in Nola. I don’t know if it will ever get back to what it was before the pandemic but I feel for the people who live there. That hood/ survivalist mentality leads them to be a prisoner in their own mind😢

[@Leilani_Michelle]

Love these videos. Just came back from Mardi Gras 2023 and for some reason being in New Orleans felt a lot less safe than previous years we had visited. On Mardi Gras night we were shoulder to shoulder deep in a crowd on Bourbon and someone yelled out G*N. My husband and I had to duck and run and it was scary honestly. The cops were a block away around the corner. I def feel for the people who live there and have to deal with all the crime bc it seems to be getting worse over the years

And guess what Mardi Gras only happened because cops from 5 other police departments came to help New Orleans is the wild Wild West right now lived her all my life I am 32 and I don’t ever remember it this bad and honestly the scariest part and what one of the problems is is that most of the crime is being done by kids 11-16 years old that and not enough police is why it is so dangerous

[@jordan50489]

For example last year 3 kids tried carjacking me in the city about 130am got into a shootout with them I got shot right above my knee on my leg police never came out !!!!!! They called me couple days later asked what happened and told me they have a suspect who went to emergency room around that time shot 3 times in his stomach 15 yr old kid they told me they would contact me again for more info been 7 months never heard back from them

[@Ronday30]

Mannnnn. I love these videos. Not that I love to see my people going through what they going through, but I love that this channel shows these environments and the people who are there give the viewers insight on what’s happening there. Some of these guys wish they grew up in different circumstances, but they weren’t fortunate enough to have that opportunity. While they are still breathing, they are still able to know Jesus Christ and have their soul saved and able to make a change in their communities. I know the Lord can do it for them regardless of how it may look🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
