12/20/08 - Bronx Paradise: Only the Strong Survive
Continuing with the theme of hope and change, on this week's show Crime Prevention Specialist Susan Bartelstone speaks with former bad guy, drug dealer and bookie Wayne Gurman (now actor, writer and law-abiding citizen) and good guy William Lappe, former NYPD detective (now writer and film director), about how to find paradise. A Bronx Paradise, that is, and believe me it's no walk in the park. In the film, Wayne details his criminal lifestyle from 1984 to 1999 when he was finally (!) arrested and finally turned his life around. Shot guerilla style on the streets where it all took place, Wayne describes the film as very violent and very funny—like his life. You wouldn't have wanted to have known him then but you sure do now. And, no, William Lappe wasn't the cop who arrested him. Susan's also got tips on staying safe in shopping mall parking lots and some really weird police reports; so it'd be a crime not to listen.
