Alfred Lomas is the creator of the controversial LA Gang Tours, which takes tourists around South Los Angeles to see areas associated with gangs. Lomas says he wants to use the tour service to provide money and jobs for the community. Timothy Beck-Werth asked him how he plans to do that. After speaking with Lomas, Tim met two gang intervention workers at Homeboys Industries, Steve Aguilar and Alex Carpio, who shared their thoughts on gang tourism.
