1
00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:03.720
All right, folks, welcome back, and we have a lot

2
00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:06.799
of ground to cover today in the world of crime.

3
00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:09.880
But before we do, a reminder.

4
00:00:09.359 --> 00:00:13.480
That we are just ten days out from the series

5
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:18.239
premiere of GTL, airing on Unspeakable and told by the

6
00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:21.359
one and only Kelly Jennings. Kelly Jennings, are you pumped

7
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:22.679
to get this one out there?

8
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:25.600
I'm beyond pumped because this has been a labor of

9
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:27.719
absolute love and intense label.

10
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:31.199
A labor of love and a label of love.

11
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:35.399
Yes, Yes, it's amazing. Uh, And we're going to be

12
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:35.960
promoting it.

13
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:37.600
You're going to see a lot of it in the

14
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:40.600
next few weeks, and that's because we want everybody to

15
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:42.840
know it exists and then it's out there and to

16
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.960
go lessen. So here it is the trailer for this

17
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:59.920
highly produced series just for you.

18
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.320
And the sultry heat of Louisiana, where the bayous whisper

19
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:06.519
secrets and the air hangs heavy with the scent of magnolias,

20
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.920
a darkness lurked beneath the surface. Dereck Todd Lee was

21
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:13.640
a man whose charm masked a sinister reality.

22
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:15.120
He was a monster.

23
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.519
Lee, a seemingly ordinary man with a disarming Smile led

24
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:22.040
a double life that would unravel in a series of

25
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:24.640
murders in the capital city of Baton Rouge and the

26
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:28.760
surrounding areas. As the first reports of disappearances and murders

27
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:32.560
began to surface, South Louisiana was thrust into a nightmare,

28
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:36.439
igniting a frantic search for answers. The true horror was

29
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:39.760
just beginning, and the hunt for a serial killer eventually

30
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:42.439
known by just three letters, would reveal not only the

31
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.959
depths of Derek Todd Lee's depravity, but also the resilience

32
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:48.959
of those most affected by his evil acts, the families

33
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:50.159
and the survivors.

34
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:51.879
This is DTL.

35
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:01.079
There you have it.

36
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:05.159
Set your calendars, folks, and now let's get into just

37
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:07.680
a few of the topics. We're going to be covering

38
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:12.599
four today. In Mississippi, the sentencing for Lindsey Whiteside may

39
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:18.759
change after public outcry reached a fever pitch this past week.

40
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:21.120
I can't wait to bring you this story.

41
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:25.919
In Louisiana, a new policy is allowing restraining orders to

42
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:30.439
be filed at your local library. If you can believe

43
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:33.680
that Kelly's going to be bringing you that story. In

44
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:37.840
Disney World, a woman jumps to her death off the

45
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:42.719
monorail system after being reported missing. In Florida, a man

46
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:48.280
is shot by a McDonald's employee after complaining about the

47
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:49.639
weight in line in.

48
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:54.199
The drive through. And folks, it's close to Halloween. What

49
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:55.159
are the top.

50
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.919
Crimes you need to watch out for this October thirty

51
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:02.840
first will be cover that. That's just a sample of

52
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:05.400
the massive amount of crime topics.

53
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.919
We're covering today. Welcome to Crime a Weekly.

54
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:11.159
I am Jim Chapman and I am Kelly Jennings.

55
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:14.039
Kelly, you were ready to get into some crime, I am.

56
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:17.479
But I want to ask you first about your Halloween

57
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:23.599
costume because I'm curious if you're going as an old.

58
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:26.000
Man since you just had your fifty first birthday.

59
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:29.080
I am not going as an old man. That would

60
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.879
require too much makeup. Kelly, you like that.

61
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:34.719
I want to tell you belated but happy birthday, Thank.

62
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:37.319
You very much. It was a great birthday.

63
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:42.639
I helped fill my daughter's car up with air her

64
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.639
tires and threw my back completely out.

65
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:49.599
So welcome to fifty one. It's been like three days, y'all.

66
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.560
Don't like the hunchback and or dame over here, but

67
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:54.120
I'm starting feeling a little bit better.

68
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:57.360
Very good stuff. So we'll jump into it.

69
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:01.639
And we're going to start in Mississippi, and a judge

70
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:06.560
accused himself in a letter on Tuesday after sentencing a

71
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:11.400
former youth minister and former basketball coach who pleaded guilty

72
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:14.840
to sexual battery of a child. Now, before I get

73
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:18.079
deep into this story, look I covered If you're curious

74
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.680
about the entire case, you can get to expose scandalos

75
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:23.959
files of the elite. I did a whole deal on it,

76
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:27.279
an hour long episode. It's really on that feed that

77
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:31.160
is out now. It's the most recent episodes.

78
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:32.199
He can check that out.

79
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:37.480
Judge Andrew Howorth, a retired circuit judge. He sentenced Lindsay

80
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:41.800
Whiteside to ten years under court supervision with no contact

81
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:45.319
with the victim of her family. Whiteside received three years

82
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:48.279
of house arrest and seven years of probation. And I

83
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:51.399
need to make this clear. When you think of house arrest,

84
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:55.079
don't think someone is stuck at their house for three years.

85
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:57.759
That's not the way that works. Basically, she has to

86
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:00.079
be at home between the hours of ten pm and

87
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:03.079
six am. Besides that, she can go anywhere she wants.

88
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:05.439
She can have a job, she can accept a playground.

89
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:07.839
You know, she can't go somewhere where other kids are

90
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:11.399
hanging out. But she can live her life as normal,

91
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:15.920
even though she strived this poor child's head. By this time, yeah,

92
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.240
she's given a car few. Basically, it's like she's back

93
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:22.600
in college. So there was a quote there that said,

94
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.759
when a judge's ability to be fair and impartial might

95
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:30.160
reasonably be questioned, whether true or not, racusa becomes appropriate.

96
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.959
That was what Howarth said in his recusal. Other let

97
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:35.920
her remember he is the judge.

98
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:36.439
Now.

99
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:40.199
This comes after the DeSoto County District Attorney, a absolute

100
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:44.480
badass named Matthew Barton, filed a motion two re sentence

101
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:50.079
whiteside last Thursday, after he was totally appalled at the sentence.

102
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:54.000
As he should have been, Howarth said in the court's

103
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:59.279
opinion that Barton had been selective and decidingly unnuanced in

104
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.759
his portrayal of information in the case. He went on

105
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:05.639
to say, the heightened level of public interest in the

106
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:08.720
outcome of this case seems to have occurred, at least

107
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.480
in part as a result of a press conference and

108
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:14.360
other public releases of information. I would like to take

109
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:18.120
credit for some of that public release of information in

110
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.319
this case by De Soto County District Attorney Matthew Barton.

111
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:24.959
He said Barton's impressions about this case have been parroted

112
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:29.360
not only by internet influencers.

113
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:32.279
He didn't mention me by name, but I know you.

114
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:36.759
But by numerous allegedly responsible news outlets who don't seem

115
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:39.079
to have done their research. Well, that sounds like someone

116
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:40.959
to me that's just pissed because he got called out

117
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:44.600
on their sentence. Whiteside, a former youth minister at Gidwell

118
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:48.519
Church in Ernando, Mississippi, and a former basketball coach at

119
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:51.920
De Soto's Central High School in South Haven, was indicted

120
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:53.879
on one count of sexual battery of a child in

121
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:57.199
December of twenty twenty four. She was arrested in November

122
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:00.680
of twenty twenty four on a sexual battery charge. DA

123
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.759
Matthew Barton said she will have to register as a

124
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:08.399
sex offender. Barton said DA's office requested the maximum sentence,

125
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:12.800
which is thirty years. However, y'all, he requested thirty years.

126
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:16.360
She got three years, basically three years house arrest and

127
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:19.560
seven years probation, which that's a little bit of a leap.

128
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:20.040
Yeah.

129
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:21.920
And usually when a prosecutor is going to give a

130
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:24.879
recommendation the judge, I'm not saying always.

131
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:26.160
And there's no rule to this, but you know they're

132
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:26.399
going to.

133
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:31.759
Align in in in the same yeah, yeah, on the

134
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:33.360
same place. Yeah.

135
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:35.360
I mean, it's definitely taken into consideration.

136
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:35.839
Yeah.

137
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:36.879
And look, if you're a.

138
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:40.279
DA and that's the maximum sentence in the DA, I'm

139
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:41.680
sure new she's not going to.

140
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:42.360
Get the maximum.

141
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:44.839
Now you go maximum and then you yes, you get

142
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:48.160
this team, you don't get house arrest for three years.

143
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:52.040
It is right, I wouldn't say unheard of, but it's

144
00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:55.759
pretty damn rare, and especially in a sex case. Now,

145
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:58.600
what this really all boiled down to in the end,

146
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:03.240
and why this recentence is being considered, is because the

147
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:07.000
sentence was illegal in the state of Mississippi. If you

148
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:10.000
are convicted of a sex crime, which she was, or

149
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:13.480
for that matter, a assault crime of some sort of

150
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:17.600
violent crime, if you're convicted of those crimes, you cannot

151
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:19.360
just be sentenced to house arrest.

152
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:23.160
It's in their constitution. You have to get jail time.

153
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:25.040
She got none.

154
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:28.319
Well, at the end of a of a lot of penalties,

155
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.759
you'll hear without the benefit of probation, parole or suspension

156
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:33.960
of sentence, and so it must be added in there

157
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:36.519
on that level, you know that, And it makes sense

158
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.759
how there you offend a child in this way and

159
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:40.960
then get house.

160
00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:44.600
Arrest one hundred percent, just a really unbelievable sentence. So

161
00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:50.720
obviously we will keep you posted as this moves along.

162
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:55.759
But a really intriguing case, just a lot of twisting turns.

163
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:57.720
Was that judge newer on the bench do we know?

164
00:08:57.879 --> 00:08:58.039
Oh?

165
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.279
No, he was actually a retired judge. So what happened

166
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:04.440
was the two judges in that county, there was two

167
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:07.879
of them. They both had to recuse themselves because one

168
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:10.840
of them went to church with the Whiteside family, which

169
00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:13.720
is a very powerful family in that county. One of

170
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:15.159
them went to church and the other one had a

171
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.320
relationship somehow with somebody.

172
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:17.480
In the family.

173
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:21.480
So they were accused. And they have in Mississippi what

174
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:26.960
they call special judges. These are retired judges and basically

175
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:29.440
there's like a limited amount of them, but they go

176
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:33.799
around and they try cases in counties as retired judges

177
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:36.440
when the active judge were accuses.

178
00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:37.600
In the total sense.

179
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:41.759
The problem with that though, in this case. And you know,

180
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:44.320
one of the things that glares about this sentence to

181
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:47.039
me is the fact that this guy was retired. He

182
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:50.000
doesn't have to get reelected. So no matter what his

183
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.639
sentence is, it's not like he's going to worry about

184
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:54.240
in the back of his head, well that you know,

185
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:56.840
I'll probably get kicked off the bench for this.

186
00:09:57.039 --> 00:10:00.399
Now Street's retired. This is a side ustle. He's a

187
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:03.679
retired judge. He got plenty of money, but he should also.

188
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:06.440
Be if he was should be that's the key here.

189
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:09.000
But if he was a judge long enough that he

190
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:12.039
was able to retire, right to retire from judge ship,

191
00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:14.240
then you would expect that he would be abreast of

192
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:15.000
the law, at.

193
00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:16.080
Least the law.

194
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.879
And yeah, so this is yeah, the public should be

195
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:24.039
have a vested interest in what happened here. Amen, you know,

196
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:26.480
all right, we'll see how that goes. Now, let's take

197
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:28.720
it right on here in our backyard in eber East

198
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:33.360
Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana, where residents can now file temporary

199
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:37.879
restraining orders at each of the fifteen libraries in East

200
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:41.919
Baton Rouge Parish. The nineteenth Judicial District Chief Judge Don

201
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:46.120
Johnson said, domestic violence primarily takes place when the courthouse

202
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:49.679
is closed. The new program will provide easy access through

203
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:53.000
location and in a timely manner. The idea allows you

204
00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:55.440
to file an application and then have it on files

205
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:58.840
so immediately whenever the court is available again that they

206
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.600
can deal with the problem and it's readily available to

207
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:04.840
take in the complaint. So Chief Judge Johnson said, not

208
00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:07.679
only will this allow easy access to residents, but it

209
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:10.600
will speed up the filing process from one day to

210
00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:13.799
an hour. He said, it allows people to seek help

211
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:16.519
on the spot. That's pretty cool. I mean that's good stuff.

212
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:19.320
That's actual outreach, you know, to your community. There will

213
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:22.679
be resources, pamphlets and information. So if you need to

214
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:25.000
go and get assistants, they will tell you where these

215
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:25.759
resources are.

216
00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:26.159
He said.

217
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:28.000
All you have to do is go inside of your

218
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:30.480
local library, find a library and to help you, and

219
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:33.120
you can fill out the application online.

220
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:33.960
Representative C.

221
00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:37.440
Denise Marcel is a survivor of domestic violence, and she's

222
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:40.600
hopeful that having easier access to help prevent people from

223
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:43.960
experiencing similar trauma would be a good thing. There's no

224
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:46.720
blueprint for when something goes wrong and your partner is

225
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:50.000
abusive towards you. There is no blueprint. This helps us

226
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:53.919
have a blueprint. Representative Marcel said. This summer, fifty four

227
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.799
year old Alana Singleton was allegedly killed by her boyfriend

228
00:11:56.840 --> 00:11:59.919
fifty four year old Paul Varnado in Central The next

229
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:02.840
police said twenty four year old Kyra Hayes was killed

230
00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:07.720
by her boyfriend Brandon Ellie and Baker Chief Judge Johnson

231
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:10.720
said the data collected from the library will hopefully help

232
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:14.120
find more solutions and prevent future crimes. By tracking the

233
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:18.080
information down and gathering the information and inventorying the information,

234
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:21.480
we can now analyze that and then from that indication

235
00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:24.759
decide what remedies and what access to provide.

236
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:30.120
You know, when I read the headline of that particular story,

237
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:34.320
my first reraction was whoa You know, first of all,

238
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:37.080
I think it's a phenomenal thing. Anything you can do

239
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:42.240
to curb domestic violence. It's disgusting, it's ugly. I think

240
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:45.480
anybody that puts their hands on a woman, or you know,

241
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.639
women to put their hands on the man, you know.

242
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:49.960
You deserve everything you get.

243
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:55.399
I guess you could say my concern here was what

244
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:57.960
would that do for people that just have a you know,

245
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:02.759
a messy divorce. And one thing about restraining orders that

246
00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:07.240
I know if herd Kelly say this on Unspeakable several times,

247
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:09.679
is at the end of the day, it's just a

248
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:14.679
piece of paper. Certainly, it gives the police a paper trail.

249
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:17.559
It gives me something happens to you, and they go

250
00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:19.639
back and they look and they're like, well, she filed

251
00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:21.919
nine restraining orders against this guy.

252
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:25.960
That's very helpful, especially in a case.

253
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:31.559
Right that being said, I think that the way that

254
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:34.960
that article read, am I understanding this correctly? That they

255
00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:37.639
fill out the paperwork, but nothing is actually done at

256
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:40.600
that It's almost like you're applying restraint.

257
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:43.200
Yeah, so what it sounds like to me. Okay, So

258
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.159
when domestic violence, and again I'm just with the article here.

259
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:47.960
I haven't done a ton of research on this, but

260
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:51.519
when domestic violence happens, when the heat of the moment

261
00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:54.000
and you're like really wrapped up in this, you need

262
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:56.279
a voice, You need somebody who can do something about it.

263
00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:57.799
When the police show up, what are they gonna do.

264
00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:00.279
They're gonna maybe a rest your partner or separate the

265
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:02.720
two of you for the evening. What happens, though, is

266
00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:06.120
when domestic violence typically may happen after hours of a

267
00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:09.799
courthouse when you need an immediate type of protection. Maybe

268
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:12.080
this is something that needs an immediate.

269
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:13.559
Look at.

270
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:15.600
You're not gonna get it because you're gonna if it

271
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:17.720
happened on a Friday, well, the courts aren't open Saturday

272
00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:19.799
and Sunday. Then Monday you would go file. Then it

273
00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:22.399
would be Tuesday, possibly before it was even reviewed in

274
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:25.039
a decision made. So to me, this is a streamlining

275
00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:29.519
process that they're implementing and giving access much greater time

276
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:31.679
during the day that you can do this in the

277
00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:33.360
You don't have to do it at home. You can

278
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:35.159
get outside of your home and go do it away

279
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:38.879
from your possible abuser. Uh, you know, there's a safety

280
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:40.879
net there that they're not looking over your shoulder or

281
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:44.159
you're not trying to, you know, do something with someone

282
00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:46.519
breathing down your throat. But then it sounds to me

283
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:50.080
like they're going to dedicate somebody to look at these applications,

284
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:52.960
like on a Monday morning, look at them, assess them,

285
00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:55.960
maybe levelize them as this is immediate, this is you

286
00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:59.679
know whatever, and then they can streamline that process without

287
00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:02.240
all the sh shuffle of people having to move about

288
00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:04.759
and go from here and there and yonder. You know

289
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:07.200
what I'm saying, it's just all right there. I think

290
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.039
it's a good thing. It sounds good. I hope that

291
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:15.120
people don't misinterpret this to think that librarians are now advocates,

292
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.759
you know, to be telling you what to do in

293
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:19.519
domestic violence.

294
00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:20.639
That's kind of a strange leap.

295
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:25.080
But the resources and knowing where they are and what

296
00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:26.399
to do, that's a beautiful thing.

297
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:27.720
If librarians are able to help.

298
00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:30.480
I think so, and I think this is something that

299
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:33.120
maybe they need to look at in all perishes, anything

300
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:36.320
that would streamline. Of course, October not only Breast Cancer

301
00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:41.320
Awareness Month, but also Domestic Violence moth. Yeah, breast cancer awareness.

302
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:44.879
Of course, we all think pink, right, you think purple

303
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:50.240
for Domestic Violence Awareness Moth and one of the you know,

304
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:52.639
in my opinion, one of the most horrible crimes you could.

305
00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:55.399
Ever commit, because it's usually it's always it's someone that

306
00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:58.320
you trust, that you know, violates you in a way

307
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:02.360
that that a stranger. It's taken different. It's so much

308
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:05.240
more personal to me than a stranger attacking you. I mean,

309
00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:07.159
this is supposed to be your spouse or your your

310
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:10.039
family member. And the thing about domestic violence is no

311
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:14.039
one ever thinks that it will be them. No one

312
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:17.159
ever thinks that they will be killed. And the reality

313
00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:19.039
is this. I'll say it till the day I die.

314
00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:21.639
If he will hit you, if he will push you,

315
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:23.879
or he will slap you in and I say he,

316
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:28.720
but anyone she will put their hands on you, they

317
00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:32.440
will kill you. Yeah, they will. And these people need

318
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:34.799
an outlet. We need to get the word out. It's

319
00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:38.080
not acceptable and you're worth more than that. Don't let

320
00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:38.799
people do that to you.

321
00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:40.720
Don't let people do it to you.

322
00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:43.559
And glad to see East batan Rige Parish coming up

323
00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:44.360
with a great idea.

324
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:46.159
It sounds awesome. Good job. Kudos, y'all.

325
00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:49.440
Well, we're going to stay in Louisiana and we're going

326
00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:51.679
to stay in East Batanriage Parish for this one. And

327
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:54.480
I'm going to tell you about two people who have

328
00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:59.039
been arrested and deputies are still looking for one accused

329
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:03.639
of defrauding neighbors Federal Credit Union out of more than

330
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:09.319
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, according to the East

331
00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:14.759
Batteridge Parish Sheriff's Office, Marvel Jackson, A SHAWNA. Webb, and

332
00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:18.920
Timothy Cannon were suspects in a fraud case that started

333
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:22.000
in May. Deputies with the East batter Edge par of

334
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:25.880
Sheriff's Office set a handful of neighbors. Federal Credit Union

335
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:30.079
accounts were compromised after scammers got a hold of their

336
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:34.039
phone numbers and started communicating with the account holders as

337
00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:39.200
if they were from the financial institution. Through conversations, members

338
00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:44.559
told the people posing as bankers their online banking log ins.

339
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:49.599
Parish records said the scammers withdrew money from the accounts

340
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:53.640
through ATMs cash, app, Apple Cash and the teller window

341
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:58.359
at Laberge Casino. Jackson and Web were booked for fests

342
00:17:58.359 --> 00:18:02.319
over twenty five thousand dollars a legal transmission of monetary funds.

343
00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:06.799
Web was arrested in ebr on September tenth, Jackson was

344
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:10.359
detained and booked a month later, and an arrest warrant

345
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:13.119
has been issued for Cannon. And let me say this

346
00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:19.519
the scams. You know, as technology increases, so do the

347
00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:21.920
ability of these scammers to do what they do.

348
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:24.880
However, this one one of the oldest ones in the book.

349
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:28.279
I can tell you from having an extremely close friend

350
00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:34.680
that is a banker that these scams. If anybody ever

351
00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:37.839
calls you an ask for your ATM number, ask for

352
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:41.400
your logging codes, and they say they're from XYZ bank,

353
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:42.160
they're lying.

354
00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:45.039
Absolutely, no one's ever going to because you know, even

355
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:47.240
the people that call you from a bank or a

356
00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:50.279
fraud alert, those people don't have access to all of

357
00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:51.160
your information.

358
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:54.000
You know, there's levels of security.

359
00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:55.480
In place, so for someone to flat out ask you

360
00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:58.359
this information, it's not going to work that way. And

361
00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:01.759
people who are around or have studied it or you

362
00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:04.119
know that type of thing, it seems obvious, doesn't it.

363
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:08.160
But to someone who is not living a life of crime.

364
00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:10.559
I have a friend that I just adore. They were

365
00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:13.000
recently taken by scammers.

366
00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:13.960
They called.

367
00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:18.920
They had minimal information about their banking, but they said

368
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.240
things that scared my friend's wife, like, you know, we're gonna,

369
00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:25.640
we're gonna you're gonna be arrested, you know, threatened, these

370
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:28.279
types of things unless you go put money into this

371
00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:31.799
account through one of those crypto you know type things.

372
00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:33.480
Anyway, she didn't know what it was.

373
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:36.359
When people don't know what's going on, they assume that's

374
00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:39.319
because it's governmental or above their head or something like that,

375
00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:44.039
and they got taken for fifteen thousand dollars. And I

376
00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:47.279
found it just disgusting because they pick and prey on

377
00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:51.920
people who are good people, who just don't necessarily know.

378
00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:54.039
They've never been in trouble before. They don't know that

379
00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:57.400
this is complete and total bullshit and it's sick and

380
00:19:57.440 --> 00:19:58.160
it's so wrong.

381
00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:01.799
And they don't recoup all, right, the losses.

382
00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:04.759
They don't because a lot of times these are accounts

383
00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:08.559
that are in another country. It gets very convoluted and

384
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:11.160
very hard to collect this money at that point, especially

385
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:14.519
when it's cryptocurrency, and a lot of times they'll have

386
00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:19.039
these people convert their cash into cryptocurrency first and then

387
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:21.960
send the crypto and they think it's going somewhere in

388
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:24.319
the United States, it ends up going to, you know,

389
00:20:24.440 --> 00:20:25.240
Jamaica or.

390
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:27.640
Something where it's really hard to get.

391
00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:31.200
And I'll tell you this, what is most disgusting is

392
00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:38.000
these assholes prey on the elderly a lot. And they

393
00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:41.960
call your seventy five year old grandma and they tell

394
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:45.759
her this big bullshit story and she ends up giving

395
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:50.000
them her entire life savings. This happens every day in

396
00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:52.960
this country. So talk to your parents and your grandparents.

397
00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:54.680
Yes, so, and I want to.

398
00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:56.960
I know nobody cares about our personal life really, but

399
00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:58.039
I want to give you an example.

400
00:20:58.119 --> 00:21:00.279
My grandmother, God rest her soul. She just passed away.

401
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:02.799
But she always felt like she was a burden, you

402
00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:04.400
know what I mean, when you get older and you're

403
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:06.000
having a hard time. She never wanted to be a

404
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:08.480
burden on anybody. Well, she got a phone call one

405
00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:11.200
day from this company that was offering to do, you know,

406
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:14.039
handle her bills for her, handle this, handle that, And

407
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:16.640
in her old sweet mind, she thought, wow, this would

408
00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:18.599
really free up my daughter, you know, and it won't

409
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:21.759
bother her. She ended up signing over power of attorney

410
00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:25.240
to someone she didn't even know. And y'all, she grew

411
00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:27.279
up in the in the thirties, in the forties, and

412
00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:31.440
you know, today's times are hard for older people, and

413
00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:33.920
so she was so easily manipulated. But thank god, my

414
00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:37.319
mother is a frickin bulldog when it comes to, you know,

415
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:38.279
messing with our family.

416
00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:40.400
And we were able to fix that very quickly.

417
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:44.240
But she could have lost everything, you know, over trying

418
00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:46.599
to not be a burden. It's manipulation and to me,

419
00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:49.319
it feels like almost an act of violence. And I

420
00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:52.640
know that sounds crazy, but when it's elderly like that,

421
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:57.079
that that's that's wrong. Yeah, that's beyond wrong and it's sick.

422
00:21:57.200 --> 00:21:59.799
So protect your family. Talk to your parents, talk to

423
00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:01.880
your grandparents and tell them how much they're loved, and

424
00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:05.119
no matter what, you've got them, you know, and only

425
00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:07.640
talk to you. All right, We're gonna go to Florida,

426
00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:11.799
and Jim, I'm taking this one personal because it almost

427
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:12.920
happened to me yesterday.

428
00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:14.200
Harright, all right.

429
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:18.480
A Putnam County Sheriff's office in Florida shared on Facebook

430
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:22.640
on Monday, October twentieth that minor Cattildge, sixty one years old,

431
00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:26.039
had been arrested and charged after allegedly threatening his neighbor

432
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:29.920
with two pocket knives. The incident began on Friday, October seventeenth,

433
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:33.200
when the neighbor walked her dog on a public path

434
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:37.079
adjacent to Cattlidge's property in Putnam County, a suburb located

435
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:40.559
about seventy two miles south of Jacksonville. The neighbor told

436
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:44.599
police that Catilidge believed that the path belonged to him,

437
00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:47.640
and claimed that he told her he would quote eat

438
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:52.200
her dog if she trespassed again. First of all, and

439
00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:55.599
I'm gonna interrupt. Well, let me tell you something, dog,

440
00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:57.440
I'm gonna tell you something. I will whip that ass

441
00:22:57.480 --> 00:22:59.480
to Look. I'm stopping this story real quick because I

442
00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:01.519
have to tell you I was taking my precious pup

443
00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:04.359
to the vet yesterday. Jim, you know how I'll ride

444
00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:07.599
for that Weeni dog. Toby Jennings is the man I

445
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:10.519
was holding my buddy. We were pumping up some cardib

446
00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:12.039
because he was nervous and I was trying to get

447
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:15.240
him in the right mindset. A man, a stranger, walked

448
00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:17.640
up to my window while we are stopped, puts his

449
00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:20.000
hands up like he's got a gun and starts fake

450
00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:21.880
shooting my dog with his air gun.

451
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:23.640
Yes, we all saw in your face.

452
00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:27.039
Well you listen to me. That Weeni dog is my heart.

453
00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:29.200
Why you stopped the middle of the story to say.

454
00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:31.599
Because this person threatening threatened to eat her dog.

455
00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:33.400
Everybody's waiting to find out about this dog.

456
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:36.319
Well, Toby's okay, I need everyone to know, all right, So,

457
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:39.599
police said deputies spoke to Catledge about the property, and

458
00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:42.759
the situation appeared to have been resolved. However, an hour later,

459
00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:45.799
the neighbor called the police again asking for help. The

460
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:48.200
victim called a little over an hour later after Catlitch

461
00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:51.119
approached her property with a knife and began threatening her

462
00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:54.640
and other family members. A police officer arrived before deputies

463
00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:57.599
and stated that he heard Catlitch making threats to the victim,

464
00:23:57.799 --> 00:24:00.119
and the victims said Catlitch threatened to stab.

465
00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:01.720
Her for calling law enforcement.

466
00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:05.079
As a result of the incident, Catlitch was detained, charged

467
00:24:05.079 --> 00:24:07.720
with aggravated assault, and held on a five thousand dollars bond.

468
00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:10.440
In their social media post, police said that on his

469
00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:13.000
way to Putnam County Jail, Catlich said that he planned

470
00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:15.200
to quote beat the neighbor when he got out of jail.

471
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:17.440
Police shared a mugshot.

472
00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:19.720
Of Cattldge alongside the post, in which he could be

473
00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:21.720
seen in a gray shirt and appeared to.

474
00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:23.519
Be we'll say disheveled.

475
00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:25.240
I would say that Catlitch.

476
00:24:24.880 --> 00:24:28.200
Remains in jail as the police continue their investigation into

477
00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:28.920
this situation.

478
00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:31.960
And he looks like somebody to eat your dog.

479
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:36.759
I would have believed, yeah, yeah, he's got that. Uh

480
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:37.759
that what is that?

481
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:40.319
Is that a food man chew the mustache that goes

482
00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:42.680
from the bottom of the chin like the jaw line.

483
00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:47.680
That because he doesn't have the beard part and chew

484
00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:49.960
is like what I have except for longer.

485
00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:51.759
Oh my bad, I don't know. I'm talking about facial hair.

486
00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:55.400
He basically got a low mustache, y'll ye like on face.

487
00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:56.880
Yeah, and he looks mad.

488
00:24:56.759 --> 00:24:58.680
And he lost his hair brush. He did.

489
00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:05.319
He needs to watch ve Yeah, go check that out

490
00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:07.559
and don't eat your neighbors dogs down.

491
00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:09.079
Yeah.

492
00:25:09.720 --> 00:25:14.039
You know, that's a good example of how a situation

493
00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:16.880
that didn't have to happen happened. You know what, was

494
00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:19.559
he really gonna eat the lady's dog. Probably not, He's

495
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:22.759
just saying something to piss her off. But looking at him,

496
00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:25.200
you think, you know, might eat my dog. So we'll

497
00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:28.559
post that on the Facebook page for you. Now the

498
00:25:28.599 --> 00:25:31.519
next story, we're gonna take you to Virginia for this.

499
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:34.880
We don't go to Virginia often, but we're gonna start

500
00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:36.119
going there more often.

501
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:39.160
Then we're going. We're definitely going today.

502
00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:42.960
And look, if you have been on social media, you know,

503
00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:46.559
in the last week or so, you have definitely seen

504
00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:47.880
this somewhere.

505
00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:51.119
But I'm gonna go ahead and give you the full story.

506
00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:55.720
Maybe Halloween season, but a Virginia family says one trick

507
00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:59.240
has gone too far and authorities have now opened a

508
00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:04.200
criminal and instigation. Virginia resident Shila says that she and

509
00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:07.519
her family were terrorized Tuesday night. This is this past

510
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:10.880
Tuesday by a group of people in costume who tried

511
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:11.839
to enter her home.

512
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:12.599
Quote.

513
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:14.599
At first, I thought it was just a joke, a

514
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:16.920
little prank, so I said Happy Halloween.

515
00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:18.480
She's on a ring camera.

516
00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:21.799
According to Shila, the group. She thought the group would leave,

517
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:24.599
but they didn't. She called nine one one and told

518
00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:28.559
police and told them that you know, the police were

519
00:26:28.599 --> 00:26:30.319
on the way through the ring camera.

520
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:31.960
However, the trio.

521
00:26:31.799 --> 00:26:34.319
They didn't sing phased by that. They kept knocking on

522
00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:37.279
the door. Then they started banging on the door. They

523
00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:40.359
started threatening to kill them. And when they couldn't get

524
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:42.640
through the front door, she said, they went around the

525
00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:46.559
back of the home and they even damaged some glass

526
00:26:46.599 --> 00:26:48.799
in a like a wooden fence in the back of

527
00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:52.920
her house. The Virginia resident said the trio finally left

528
00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:56.359
about ten minutes later and the police arrived at her home.

529
00:26:57.039 --> 00:26:59.480
It was not even a joke gone wrong. They tried

530
00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:02.880
to enter my home. My heart dropped. She went into

531
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:05.880
some tough times that she's had lately with her dad

532
00:27:05.960 --> 00:27:09.559
recently dying, and she was there by herself with her kids,

533
00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:14.799
and the Alexandria Police Chief came out, Trek McGuire, and

534
00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:17.160
he said the department is taking it very serious.

535
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:19.960
They're actively searching for the group, and.

536
00:27:19.880 --> 00:27:22.920
They analyzed video footage not only from her home but

537
00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:27.039
from neighbors homes and said the suspects could face charges

538
00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:30.920
including burglary and making criminal threats. But let me set

539
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:32.920
this up for you real quick. If you haven't seen

540
00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:36.920
the video, it's basically three people. They're standing at the

541
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:39.519
front door and they're all one of them's in like

542
00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:40.400
a clown.

543
00:27:40.119 --> 00:27:41.599
Costume, scary clown.

544
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:42.599
Two scary clown.

545
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:46.119
One of them's in like a witch costume, scary witch costume,

546
00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:48.880
and I don't even know what the third costume is.

547
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:53.160
Almost like, yeah, very creepy.

548
00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:55.680
Now here's here's my thoughts on this.

549
00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:57.960
I'd love to hear y'all's thoughts because we're gonna post

550
00:27:58.039 --> 00:28:01.599
the video on the Facebook page. But my thoughts on

551
00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:05.680
this are it was probably somewhat of a joke. I

552
00:28:05.720 --> 00:28:07.559
don't think they were really trying to get in there,

553
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:09.519
because you know, they could have kicked.

554
00:28:09.319 --> 00:28:10.440
The door open or something.

555
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:12.920
I don't think they were necessarily trying to get in

556
00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:15.200
there to kill them. But the problem is you come

557
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:18.359
knock on my house like that, yeah, you will not

558
00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:20.759
make it so.

559
00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:23.519
And so they I don't know if they knew whose.

560
00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:25.920
Door they were knocking on. Maybe they knew it was

561
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:29.559
just a single mother who probably didn't have weapons. But man,

562
00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:32.079
you can that's not funny, no, okay.

563
00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:32.640
So here it is too.

564
00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:35.200
It says one is a clown, one is the Michael Myers,

565
00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:37.680
and then one is that nun that it's kind of scary,

566
00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:41.200
so very creepy. This is the thing perception, And I

567
00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:43.200
think so many people like this. I taught this a

568
00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:48.119
lot in class. Perception is everything. So while if everyone's

569
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:50.920
not in on the joke, it's not funny, okay. And

570
00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:53.880
so this wasn't funny. This was scary as hell. It

571
00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:56.359
felt like a scene out of the Purge. And so

572
00:28:56.880 --> 00:28:59.680
if I'm a mother at home alone, I've got my

573
00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:03.039
chill in there and I've got three people banging on

574
00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:06.519
my door and breaking glass, my perception is you're coming in.

575
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:10.720
And this is those situations where people shoot, you know.

576
00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:11.920
And so if these.

577
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:13.720
Were kids that thought this was just gonna be a

578
00:29:13.720 --> 00:29:17.279
funny but slash evil prank, you better talk to your

579
00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:21.480
kids too about what's considered funny and what's not. Because this,

580
00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:23.160
this is not and I'm not being approved. This is

581
00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:25.680
just not funny when you watch it. She tried to

582
00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:29.039
be jovial, happy Halloween, ha ha ha, and then they

583
00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:31.839
just stand there creepy and they start I would not

584
00:29:31.880 --> 00:29:34.759
have taken this well. And then to go around to

585
00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:37.759
the backside of their house. You know, you're in a privacy,

586
00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:41.440
you know, reasonable expectation of privacy at that point, and

587
00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:42.519
they have violated that.

588
00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:43.359
I agree.

589
00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:44.680
So this is scary.

590
00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:46.720
If you haven't seen it, we're gonna post it, right yeah,

591
00:29:46.759 --> 00:29:48.359

595
00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:57.759
a man is facing serious criminal charges after he allegedly

596
00:29:57.839 --> 00:30:00.759
fatally shot a man who was having sex with his

597
00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:04.319
mother in a truck outside of their home. Now, the

598
00:30:04.319 --> 00:30:06.200
way this is written, you're wondering who's having sex with

599
00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:06.720
Who's mom?

600
00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:09.319
