- The March for Our Lives rally called for an end to school shootings. But in the city of Baltimore, gun violence remains an everyday threat for many kids. It’s been three years since Freddie Gray’s death in police custody spurred an uprising in the city’s most violent neighborhood. Chris travels there to meet a community outreach worker on a mission to prevent young people from becoming victims of gun violence.

Thank you for spreading the important messages from my city and not sensationalizing us
DJ Sean J amen
Thank you Sean. I feel very honored to have been able to tell Akai's story.
@@yochrisjames 100% of ghettos in America are run by Democrats...
See a pattern here????
Commendable young man.
that wide interview shot with the two chairs in the parking lot is beautiful, great work!
Thank you Reuben. I find the Baltimore row houses to be very beautiful. The symmetry and vibrancy of the colors are so striking.
The problem isn't with enough gun laws, its about education and showing people that there's another way
K1ngjulien_ Darkness lurk in all our hearts, it's just lurk more in these ghetto neighborhoods. Don't really know why, because they are pretty privileged compared to extreme poverty all over the third world. Free food and education, just need some guidance from parents and friends with good morals.
K1ngjulien_ in america there is another way, unlike the UK well most of the Uk there are opportunities but in Birmingham and London, if ur not making money illegally ur not making anywhere near enough money
If baltimore had more people like this guy they could change the whole city.
Facts!!!!
Jesus what a rough place to live, makes me feel ridiculously privileged where I live that gun violence is literally non-existent.
I live here, on the outskirts. 1/10 people in Baltimore are addicted to drugs. I hate it here. There is a HUGE gap between rich and poor. It is insane. Never come here.
Chernobyl Denier I live in alum rock, Birmingham UK, absolute shit hole the worst place for any rich person, rich ppl get killed round these ends same in south London east London and north east London. The poor ppl are more well of than the rich ppl here because the poor ppl are actually alive here
I live in Baltimore years still today,in my street there's alot of gun violence,drugs. Thats way many people die.I remember there was a house my neighborhood at the middle of the night i heard gun shots and someone's scream. It was known that someone was selling Drugs. And,the two men got mad so,the drug dealer pulled out a gun. And shot the man,and people who were witnesses said he laid dead on the floor his eyes rolling in the back of his head. I want to stop these violence in Baltimore im risking my life to go outside of my neighborhood. Im scared that my life will be taken with a pitty way. I just want it all away✊😞.
Nice field work here, glad there's people helping build up the community there
And how exactly do you help to protect a community from itself? The danger in the black community is BLACK PEOPLE! This is nothing more than a PR stunt. Carrying signs will never change peoples' minds.
Aaron Echols beme is coming up
I have been to Baltimore one time. I was walking around and guy pulled over and said, "I can tell you are not from around here. Tuck in your chain and find someplace to go. You are not safe here". LOL I did what he said. I am from one of the best areas in Minnesota. Not use to the east coast hood.
I was just there for the night. We went looking for a local bar on foot and everyone gave us wrong directions. We ended up walking around for a couple hours. Once we did find a bar I said HI to someone and everyone looked at me like they wanted to kill me. Again, I am from Minnesota. We are Minnesota nice up here. It was such a different world. I didn't really like it much. I definitely did not fit in. I am use to saying hi to random people. It was quite the experience.
@@BigIslandMNMinnetonka its the easy coast we keep our selves
@John Laurens that how it is Baltimore
John Laurens I lived here all my life too and I’m 18. It’s crazy out here, stay safe ‼️
They shoot you in the head and by the time the boys get there the only thing left is your socks
I have lived in Baltimore my whole life, but it is such a divided city that I rarely see anything this bad. What I mean is that some areas of Baltimore are pretty good and others are really bad.
Great video Beme, nice to see you guys still rolling.
i grew up in Puerto rico and the situation is very similar, it breaks my heart.
Young man like that let’s me know that my city is going to be okay ,one love keep up the good work
I don't k ow why I'm so drawn to Baltimore, being that I live in Australia and all ... I just want to help every single on of them and it has to start at young KIDS in my opinion, like 6-9 years old, teach them its not okay to be violent, you shouldnt have to point a gun at someone. Its a shame man, it really seems like a beautiful place, but with a horrid monster hiding in the shadows, god bless, Baltimore
I respect that I'm born in raised in Baltimore city people scared to get up in on go to work the whole city got ptsd
Same I’m 14 and people at my school do drugs and stuff, and there are fights in the bathroom, and they think it’s funny. It’s not. I gotta get out of here but my parents wanna stay. Idk why. Except for the good schools in BCPS and hcps.
I don't see how blaming guns and talking about your feelings is going to mitigate inner-city violence and crime. Shift the focus to teaching respect, speaking intelligently, eating properly (not fried chicken and pizza), taking care of your body, and personal responsibility.
Ryan Murphy you forgot "shit" at the end of fried chicken and pizza. Pretty sure he said Fried chicken ,pizza n' shit.
hah. yes he did.
talking about your feelings is taking personal responsibility, it’s hard to shift to those type of things when the only thing you know is crime and guns so the work that they’re doing now may seem like nothing to you but it’s a lot to ppl that come from the bottom of the totem pole
You bought a gun for $25 the gun had a body on it
Pamela Gibbs * a few , that isn’t a shocking discovery he knew what he was buying
"The Wire" called attention to the gun violence and drug epidemic in Baltimore a decade ago. It's sad to see the city hasn't improved. Baltimore is such a beautiful city, and it's plagued by bad education and not enough law enforcement.
Great video and interviewing. Glad this type of support is happening and you are making people aware of it. You made more of a documentary with people speaking than an interview. Thanks for doing this.
Can't nobody stop the violence in Baltimore but the people! I don't care how many commissioners they get or how many police they put on the streets! The whole mindset of the people and the kids is so polluted. Everybody wants to be "hard." Baltimore is my hometown and it wasn't like this in the early 90's. This hurts my heart! I'm glad I got out when I did. Smdh!
Criminal behavior is bad, but everyone has a right to defend themselves.
People get out of their community what they put into it. Just like life. These communities problems are like me. Self Made!!
Devil ..just wait for god..
Me, as this appeared on my screen: "Chris!!" Can't wait to watch this. Missing my Beme Team folks. I'll probs be in NYC this summer, and I'd love to catch up. Big toothy grin to ALL of you, Chris, Neha, Lou!
the wisdom from this guy, I find pretty amazing, great short documentary !
I just stumbled across your channel and love your content.
Amazing work by him and great job putting this together
Thank you for spreading good messages to the youth. Please keep spreading the good word.
At the hands of a gun? Guns don’t have hands.
If he says man one more time
Baltimore had some of the strictest gun laws
I love how he says youth
Glad you're back Chris!
I live very very close to Baltimore and it is sad how like 5 people are killed every day
You sound like trump
Thanks for putting out content for us Beme team! Phil isn't going to have any videos out this week. Pewds is in Japan and didn't upload one yesterday..
He just uploaded(poods)
Should set up a way to donate to that guy!
How is that the same country?
Bless that man
Most democratic, anti gun, strictest gun law city ever... And look what happens
Akia good work
Awesome work Chris
I was at March For Our Lives in DC.
Oh Wow!
Youre a real revolutionary!
Another great video by Beme, always great perspective and deeper information than usual. Akai has a great message and is doing great work, focusing on the violence and changing what is considered normal in his neighborhood. As a critique of how reporting bias can cause a divide in communities, I didn't know guns had "hands." Multiple times the term "in the hands of guns" was used when "died by the hands of people applying violence with a gun" would better describe the situations and not push people with other views away. We need to bring people together on this debate, not find ways to divide the opinions even further. Thank you for this video.
I dont think it matters if they get views im pretty sure after CNN bought beme these guys just get payed by the hour.
This is why I love been news, making stories about real issues
been news lol
This is the kind of video I subbed to Beme for. Keep it up bro
Thanks so much for your support, Tommy.
Warp Stabilizer is strong in this video

I think they do know what it means.
it's def in-camera tho
Really great reporting
Appreciate it, Vlad!
"you a pretty little girl, man." kinda made me chuckle
You may need a gun for self defense, because the guy that might be attacking you might be stronger and quicker, so the only way to defend your self is to shoot. Cause if you don't have a gun on you for protection, the guy attacking you can just probably kill you like that.
If non of them had guns, the other guy probably wouldn't even be attacking you. If he did, you would get beat up at most, call the police and get him arrested. Instead, if both of you have a gun there's a high probability one of you is gon' end up dead.
Lucazzz you do realize that calling the police and having them arrested is easier said than done. If someone is breaking you would want to protect yourself and it is better to be armed and over prepared then to be unarmed and need something. Also this all can happen within a couple minutes if not seconds, so this would be over and the person would be gone minutes before the police are able to arrive. The closest police station is 15 minutes away from me so calling the police would do barely anything for me
Please add sub titles, as an Englishman I couldn't understand everything that was being said, it's a heavy accent, as I'm sure you would need subtitles for a Jordie or a Yorkshireman
Hahaha that Baltimore accent. “Tew”, “yewth”, etc. It’s funny
nice video beme most people dont see this in mainstream news
💙
Is it possible to love and hate the new beme logo lol
How to fix this problem: Premote education, have good police/community relations, have fathers in the home, and arm the law abbiding population
good luck with that
“Have fathers in the home” should be top of the list.
We do promote education. The cities school system just fucking sucks. Been like that for years.
then it means that you dont promote school enough. Instead of spending 30% on military spend 10% on it, and leave the rest of social security and schools.
Lucazzz medicare and medicade burn government money on fire. The reason the military funding is so high is because the Us military is esentially protects Japan, South Korea, Isreal, pretty much Europe, and Australia. It also keeps **generally** keeps Russia and China doing big things.
p.s I studied poetry in that building 5:18 ..
Homie two other people in society they don't understand it cuz they haven't seen it but if you're used to it like everyday it's comes natural it's like all right it's going to happen to me one day one day or another you know I know it's hard to stop that thought process but there's a way to stop it
I live a few miles away from b-more...
If what the kids want is to make money, you need to show them something more than social worker and journalist.
There are other ways to give back to community.
Nice video myaaaan. You know what I mean myaaaan.
When are we going to realize that it's "Violent, Crazy People" and not the weapon they use. Good on Aki and the outreach for their work. The March for Our Lives groups are miss guided in their protest. It should have been directed at the authorities that had been warned in advance and didn't take any action that allowed that person to kill. Then again they would be protesting if they did take action and call the Authorities abusive...
Tho these "Violent, Crazy People" need to be addressed, their actions would be a lot less effective if they didn't have such easy access to guns. You never hear of mass stabbings or mass strangulations.
aight, but if we didnt have guns Violent crazy people wouldnt kill as many people. Knife mortality is not even comparable to gun mortality/
Jaried Frogosa That's because mass shootings is a word specifically fabricated to agitate simpletons. There are other forms of homicides that are effective but aren't affixed with a prefix for dramatic effect - bombings for example. You'll never hear mass bombings.
Tew
they rec across from my grandmother house.
We'll talk about other Baltimore is corrupt
youf
reminds me of New Orleans.
2019 had 300+ homicides
For those who don't know we already have the highest type of gun laws. We do not give out permits unless you have threats against your life or our dead and all of the taxes are so expensive, it is intended to keep guns out of the poor people's hands but yet we have a much higher murder rate per capita than Chicago where people can defend themselves from criminals.
By living In Baltimore this is true
Never been about color,
Always been about culture.
No it’s color it’s called redlining

Sidney Poitier and a gold tooth rapper,
both interview for a front desk job.
And you don't know who gets it?
What planet are you from?
Gun vs Gun is not solution because it unpredictable, you cant just fight fire with fire. If person need protection just learn self-defense martial arts. Plus gun can be scary.
5:31 Was that english?
David Andersson
Its actually high elvish.
Haha
Great work Beme, keep it up!
He did it so we don’t brothers to much going on just n bmore not to mention what’s going on n the world..
"Black lives" wont matter until it matters to "Black Lives" I appreciate what this man is doing for Baltimore!
Just say no to guns and violence and open up books.
now beme news is getting a quarter millions views
There was no reason to compare Baltimore to the mass shootings.
There's a big difference between active criminals and a mass shooter.
They only compared it because kids were shot, literally on the same day as the March for our Lives rally.
the new vice
Baltimore, as small as it is compared to other cities in the country, used to be a beautiful and well liked place to visit, in large part because of the Chesapeake Bay seafood and its ports. Now, as much as I hate to say it, I wont step foot there, and especially after the riots and police were told to "stand down" to common trashy animals destroying property they would never have the manhood to pay for, which is not surprising when the last few mayors have been found corrupt, as well as the rest of the political figures there. Three things have to happen to clean up Baltimore. One, it has to be ruled with an iron fist, not political correctness which is ruining societies all over the country. Two, Drug "users" as well as sellers need to be run straight out of town, the sellers will be around as long as users are buying, if users keep getting locked up and paying hefty fines, they'll move elsewhere that's its easier to get. If this has to be done the old fashioned way, like France used to do, allow a red light district and allow crime there in order to keep it out of the better parts of the city, well fine. But simply put, cross those lines, youll join Freddie Gray and Michael Brown, and nobody will care. Three, The idealism that to be fair in Baltimore means thieves and killers deserve respect and understanding has to be exterminated. Respect is earned, and killers deserve the same as they gave, thieves and drug users can be locked up if you stop over crowding by executing killers that are warehoused for life, demanding rights they never cared about for the people they killed, and costing taxpayers money. Guns are not the problem, people are the problem, society has be warped since the 1960s when the first of mass shootings started, with no clue who the shooter was killing, they climbed and peaked since. Two major things happened to influence society in the 1960s, Civil Rights was formed and forced on many against it, and the drug culture was started by the hippies. Both were useless, civil rights are now used as a corrupt way to steal and over power legally, and drugs are killing and creating violence more than anything else on the planet, aside religion. Old school ways are the only thing that will stop this, why? You never seen this before the 1960s, because the fear of retaliation, possibly death was stronger than the drugs, which were not allowed to enter society as they are now.. Now, the drugs are still killing, and its worse because nobody can stop it because of political correctness. So, its a good example of what happens when brute force discipline is not enforced before things go so far. Spare the rod, spoil the child. Now days the child is addicted to drugs by age 12 to 13, and will kill you. This is from lack of discipline, period.....
You sound like trump
@@tonyfat2458 He is 100% right, and yes, I voted for him and will again in 2020. He is the best president we have had since Ronald Reagan....
It's baltimore gentlemen the gods don't exist here
Oranges and apples though.
Yah feeel me it’s cazy yah feel me yah yah feel me yah feel this is why the world now has auto correct because black youth don’t know English.
The Problem Is The Democrapic Party ! TRUMP 2020
I still can't belive CNN paid Casey neistat 20 million for this shitty beme thing.
All Blacks.....
Hmm...... Baltimore one has to wonder why gun violence is so high there. Surely the guns are to blame. I couldn't possibly be due to demographics.
Great vid, but no need to politicize the issue. Guns don't fire themselves, people do. Using statements such as "x amount were killed by guns" is a politically correct euphemism that detracts from the underlying issue that there is a deep economic and social problem in the city: fatherless homes, broken infrastructure, food insecurity, low expectations, educational neglect, etc. The problem is complex for sure but the violence is never going to end until we restore civil competition for jobs and resources.
I ate nugget every time he said “MAN”

1st comment gang
Where is David Hogg???????????? and the crisis kids???
See, he bought an illigal gun, as do most killers. Gun control, while necessary, will be ineffective.
Robier dont you think that if we know who obtained a gun legally, will be easier to find out who owns a gun illegally. Dont be simple, read. Its good.
Illegal guns become a lot harder to come by and a lot more expensive if they are not available. He bought an illegal gun for 25$ because every adult in America can buy a gun nearly as easily as buying a beer or a car
TheWaross you definitly never bought a gun legally
That's right. Because my country is not backward enough so I don't need one. I'm thinking of starting hunting so I might consider buying one. Btw, buying a car and driving it has more steps than buying a gun. Fact.
"But buying a gun comes with a background check, bla bla, hurr durr".
That's not the question here. What I'm saying is that since you can easily obtain guns in the states, they circulate a lot more and can be sold illegaly easily, which drives the price on the black market down. Fact
Well good luck with that lol
