"Every city got a Skid Row. Every major city got a Skid Row. Every city got Broadway. Every city got Main Street. I mean everywhere you go.... Just some cities are bigger than others, so that you have more people...more people that do illegal things. You see how they (police) are jumping out on people? This is all day and half tonight. And it's not very comfortable down here. Me...I don't have a criminal record. I'm not running from the police. You know. And crackhead motherfucker...he been sitting there smoking crack. You know what I mean? Everybody thinks because they see you with a camera, you the police. Yeah, you see where I'm at now, nobody bothers me. And I can fight now. Don't think I can't fight. Just because I'm an old man, don't think I can't fight. I can fight. I grew up in the hood. I can defend myself. Like right here...where we are now...it's peaceful. It's quiet. You don't see the police jumping out on us like they did down the street, right there. And if you sit here long enough, you'll see them come by here (down the street) again and jump out again." George talks about a typical day on his street in Skid Row and the constant police busts in the neighborhood. For George and everyone who worked hard to make this project happen...we now have a fundraiser on Indiegogo to pay for postproduction, crew and talent to finish the film. It feels great to be part of this project with George, Ajay Santos, Tony Anthony, Anthony Taylor. Thank you to mural designer General Jeff, and Skid Row residents.
