Some guy from Milwaukee made a short film about life in the 'hood, St. Louis style. I haven't had time to watch this yet, but it looks pretty . . . unsettling.

Milwaukee doesn't have much to crow about. We could draw a shape with 569k residents and call it St. Louis that would have the same or better stats.

It’s what he does as a YouTuber. Usually informative and he leaves on a good note in this situation in the last quarter of the video. Otherwise yes the first 12-14 minutes are unsettling but not unusual his videos have shown similar situations in other videos.

Seeing him talk to those kids was one of the most depressing things I’ve seen. How do you even begin to fix the culture around that? It’s just a never ending cycle of sex, drugs and crime until they end up dead or in prison. I know they’re only kids but we are way too soft on crime as a city if these people are just free to roam the streets and terrorize people

We have open carry in MO. They're exercising their 2nd Amendment rights.

Open and permitless carry, a cop could do absolutely nothing to them until they committed a crime

Yeah, I wonder what those pro-gun outstate legislators would say about this video.

^ Nothing. It’s exactly what they want.

The kids all said they'd vote for Trump and their comments seemed to indicate they think of themselves as the good guys with the guns protecting against the bad guys so every rural pro-gun legislator should be shown this video and asked what they disagree with these young men on. Show the video to Every. Single. One

Since this guy is apparently known for making these types of videos, I have to wonder how much of what we're seeing is real, and how much is just hamming-it-up for the camera.

This is the same guy that made the original video about the Kia Boyz. I like his videos personally; he meets these people as they are and gets their take on the world unfiltered. You don't see this unfiltered side of society in traditional media.

^Yeah I watched his Kia Boyz video after I watched this one. He treats his hometown with at least as much scrutiny as he does St. Louis. 

My only beef with his STL video is the title--and that in his Milwaukee video he went back and forth between interviewing the "troubled youth" and the good citizens of inner city MKE who have been victims of these kids. 

For the STL video he only spoke to rural people afraid of the city in the first few minutes, then the gun toting youth. 

To be fair he did speak with the MMF fighter from East St. Louis at the end. But having it just be one person and tacked on at the end it kind of made the video seem like a hit piece on us  without greater context if you only watched the first few minutes (which I am afraid often happens with YouTube videos)

There was another "most dangerous cities in the world" list a few days ago. St. Louis was not on it because it no longer meets the 300K population requirement apparently. Good news huh.

If I'm not wrong, that video is pretty old and that Facebook post is just a repost. Still wild though.

Chances that the people in this video voted are close to zero, for Trump or otherwise.
