In DC, Donald Trump has mobilized troops with the Anti

You gotta hear this one, and there's so much more

00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:08.359
coming your way today on Crime Wire Weekly, I'm Jim Chapman.

17
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:09.480
And I'm Kelly Jennings.

18
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:13.799
Hello Kelly Jennings, Hello Jimothy. How's your week? Thus?

19
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:14.040
Far.

20
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:18.599
You know, I've had personally a good week. I my

21
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:21.840
heart's heavy though, I'll tell you that. So you've obviously

22
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:23.120
been watching the news, we both do.

23
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:24.239
And we had a.

24
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:30.760
Local officer, Caleb Eysworth, who was purposefully run over by

25
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:32.719
a total piece of shit.

26
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:34.480
He was on his motorcycle.

27
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:37.200
The officer was and just going about his business, responding

28
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:39.719
to a call, and this guy decided that he wanted

29
00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:43.079
to quote lay him out. Yeah, and so targeted, targeted him,

30
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:43.959
rand him over.

31
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:46.840
Dragging five hundred feet plus.

32
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.760
Yeah. And so it's been seven weeks. He survived and

33
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:50.920
we were all very.

34
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:52.719
We as a community, we're so thankful for that and

35
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.280
so happy he then we found out how to have

36
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:58.480
double leg amputations. But he seemed to be doing well,

37
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:00.719
but we found out that yesterday that he did actually

38
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:04.319
succumbed to his injuries. And so that is just to

39
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:08.120
be targeted at your job, yeah, you know, a job

40
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:10.439
that we all I think should appreciate that we have

41
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:12.960
people out there who are willing to protect us and

42
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:16.280
to serve. And so I just personally would like to

43
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:21.759
extend my my heartfelt thank you and condolences because Caleb

44
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:22.840
actually went to the same high.

45
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:26.319
School as me. Yeah, so and me yeah, oh yeah,

46
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:28.280

47
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:30.199
And so I don't know you kind of you kind

48
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:33.879

00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:37.400
and kind of lived similar lives when we were younger.

50
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:39.680
So to his family and anyone that knew him and

51
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:42.159
his friends, you have my ultimate respect, and so I

52
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:43.400
felt like it was important to share that.

53
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:47.840
Yes, I agree in many, many prayers to his family

54
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:51.960

Sad situation. The hates got to stop.

60
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:09.319
It's got to stop for you know, these officers that

61

63
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.039
Don't even know, right, and then to be killed by

64
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:18.000
something we don't know right, for no reason.

65
00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:18.560
It's just sick.

66
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:21.080
So anyway, y'all keep that family and your prayers and

67
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:23.120
a young daughter in our hearts with you.

68
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:23.360
Man.

69
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:23.960
Yep.

70
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:27.120
So let's get into it, and we're going to start

71
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.840
out in Louisiana today and we're going to go.

72
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:34.360
To Saint Helena Parish, which y'all is right by.

73
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:37.400
Well, about forty five minutes from where we record, would

74
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:40.039
you say, yeah, So we're going to go there and

75
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:44.039
a Saint Helena Parish team is sentenced Monday this past

76
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:49.719
Monday for a fatal shooting after victims family members gave

77
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:55.400
emotional speeches in a Greensburg courtroom. Christopher Williams, who is sixteen,

78
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:58.919
was sentenced to nine years in prison after pleading guilty

79
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:02.960
to the shooting at Saint Helena College and Career Academy

80
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:07.479
that killed one juvenile and injured two others in September

81
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:08.520
of twenty twenty three.

82
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:08.759
Now.

83
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:12.520
The shooting took place on campus where the three victims

84
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:16.720
were sitting in a car after school. Vernon Gordon Junior,

85
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:20.720
who was sixteen years old, died in that shooting. Williams

86
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:24.160
was charged with one count or with counts of second

87
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:28.079
degree murder, two counts of attempted second degree murder, and

88
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:32.480
illegal caring of a firearm. He was fourteen years old

89
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:35.959
at the time of the shooting. However, he was tried

90
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:40.040
as an adult. Vernon Gordon Senior said the sentence that

91
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:44.000
he received did not reflect the value of his son's life. Quote,

92
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:48.199
my family was served a life sentence of grief. He

93
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:51.279
described his son as an outgoing athlete on the honor

94
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:53.680
roll who wanted to go to college. He would have

95
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:58.079
turned eighteen five days ago. The victim's father and several

96
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:01.480
other family members don Teisha with his photo that said

97
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:07.680
justice for vej and until we meet again. Marquelle Bernard Gordon.

98
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:11.279
Vernon Gordon Junior's mother described her family as struggling with

99
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:16.040
grief after the shooting, especially her juvenile special needs daughter.

100
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:19.920
The mother said that death changed their lives forever. Other

101
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:22.959
relatives and the mother of the other two injured victims

102
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:26.759
they also spoke about their grief and shared frustration about

103
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:31.000
the sentencing. Some did forgive Williams. Williams kept his head

104
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:34.199
down as the seven victim impact statements were We're at

105
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:37.600
in court and initial reports from law enforcement said that

106
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:41.959
bullying may have fuelled the shitting. Thomas Demiko williams defense

107
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:45.959
attorney said after the sentencing there was evidence of serious bullying,

108
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.519
both verbally and physically, and that Williams was not a

109
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:53.560
bad kid. Bernard Gordon testified in court, there was no

110
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:57.839
proof of bullying. The defense attorney said his client and

111
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:02.600
family were both remorseful. William's mother and a handful of

112
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:04.680
women sat on the side of the room near him,

113
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:08.560
wearing T shirts and displayed the Bible verse mark eleven

114
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:11.480
twenty five and standing in Love with CJ.

115
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:13.319
Fourteen is the.

116
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:16.920
Youngest I've ever had, Demiko said, in representing the juvenile

117
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:20.120
and the district Attorney's office understood the.

118
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:23.680
Gravity of the kids' ages. So what do you think

119
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:24.120
about that?

120
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:30.040
So, first of all, fourteen years old is well old

121
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:33.360
enough to know that bringing a firearm with you is.

122
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:37.959
Not right in any capacity, shape or form.

123
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:43.360
And even if you are being bullied, being bullied versus

124
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:47.360
murdering people is something. And look, I've been bullied before

125
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:49.639
when I was younger. Okay, it's no fun, but it

126
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:52.000
never crossed my mind to bring a weapon and to

127
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:52.959
murder those people.

128
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:57.360
And so I think this is more complex than just

129
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.560
saying you know bullied.

130
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:02.000
You know, oh, well he was bullied, and so that's

131
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:04.319
why you didn't get a lot of time. I don't

132
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:06.759
agree with that amount of sentencing. I don't think that

133
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:08.720
that if you're willing at fourteen to bring a weapon

134
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:13.680
to school and murder people. Then I'm not convinced that

135
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:18.079
six years in a facility is going to change I'm sorry,

136
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:20.639
nine years in a facility is going to change that.

137
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:25.600
Yeah, And look, I don't know. Admittingly all the facts

138
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:27.639
of this case. Were they beating the shit out of

139
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:29.759
this kid every day at school for a year.

140
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:30.680
I don't know.

141
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:35.519
Not that nothing justifies murder obviously, but maybe you know,

142
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:36.680
was he scared to death?

143
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:37.279
I don't know.

144
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:41.079
The sentence only being nine years makes me think that

145
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:44.399
there's some things that maybe are not being reported on here.

146
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:47.720
As far as what I just covered you, I don't

147
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:50.720
know the extent were these were these kids six foot four,

148
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:53.040
two hundred and forty pounds, and the guy they were

149
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:55.800
that shot them was five foot tall and one hundred

150
00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:57.600
and fifteen pounds, and they were just hanging him from

151
00:07:57.600 --> 00:07:58.639
a locker every day.

152
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.439
I don't know. None of that justifies murder.

153
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.199
And I totally get the father saying we feel like,

154
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:08.319
you know, the sentence doesn't meet the crime.

155
00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:10.079
If you will, my baby's only worth.

156
00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:12.399
If that were my kid and he's no longer here,

157
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:14.160
I'd want this guy in jail for the rest of

158
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:16.920
his life fourteen years old. You'll get some people on

159
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:19.000
the other side of that saying his brain's not even

160
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:21.800
developed yet. There's no way he could have known the

161
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:24.600
gravity of the actions. I don't know if I buy

162
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:28.839
into all that at fourteen. I remember when I was fourteen,

163
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:30.600
I knew if I killed somebody, I was gonna be

164
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:32.080
in some serious And it.

165
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:35.519
Doesn't sound like when he went and did this that

166
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:38.039
he was provoked from what we're reading, obviously we haven't

167
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:38.440
read the case.

168
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:40.279
Yes, yeah, it didn't sound like.

169
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:42.440
He was provoked. Well, if that's the case, then you

170
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:45.080
have become no better.

171
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.000
I mean, you and you took their lives. It just

172
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:51.039
doesn't equate. I'm not a fan of this at all.

173
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:55.519
And if I was the deceased parent parents, I would

174
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:59.519
I would have a lot of problems now emotionally grappling

175
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:00.759
with that life of a sentence.

176
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.279
You took my child away?

177
00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:04.600
Yeah?

178
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:07.279
Forever? Wow, I don't know, do you think it was.

179
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:10.960
I mean, it's hard for me to really speak on

180
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:16.080
a lot of this because I don't know what. I

181
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:20.120
don't know the extent of circumstances behind it. It doesn't

182
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:22.919
it's not very clear. It says buying. But I mean,

183
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:25.279
how far did that bullying go? It sounds like it

184
00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:28.039
was more than just name calling. It was physical bullying,

185
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:32.600
which means they were probably beating this kid up. There's

186
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:38.200
ways of handling that, obviously, outside of killing somebody. Speaking

187
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:40.840
of nine years just seems awful light for Martinville. That's

188
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:43.480
all I can say for anybody who kills somebody.

189
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:44.799
All right, Well, let's move.

190
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:48.279
To Texas now right next door, and we have three

191
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:51.440
people that were killed in a shooting outside of a

192
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:55.919
Target store in Texas. Per local officials, Austin Police Department

193
00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:58.639
responded to a shooting incident at the Target on eighty

194
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:02.120
six oh one Research Bullvar in North Austin. The department

195
00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:05.600
announced just after two pm on Monday, August eleventh. Police

196
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:08.039
said they were looking for a suspect in khaki shorts

197
00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:10.679
and a floral print T shirt. Within the hour, they

198
00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:14.200
announced an update that the suspect was detained. Now I'm

199
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:16.600
going to stop here as far as the article that

200
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:18.639
I had started with, because we had an update that

201
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:20.600
came through, and so I'm a pick up on this

202
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:23.279
article because it gives us a lot more insight. So

203
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:26.080
on the update, it says that the Austin Police Department

204
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.799
has identified the suspect and the victims in the triple

205
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:32.159
homicide outside of that target. APD says the victims in

206
00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:36.600
the shooting were twenty four year old Hector Leopaldo Martinez Mushuka,

207
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:40.320
sixty five year old Adam Chow, and Chow's four year

208
00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:43.279
old grand baby. The suspect has now been identified as

209
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:47.639
thirty two year old Ethan Ninnaker. Officials had previously said

210
00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:49.720
that the suspect had a history of mental health issues,

211
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:52.360
with APD saying that he does have a rap sheet

212
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:54.960
with us. Ninacer has been charged with two counts of

213
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:57.679
capital murder for the four year old granddaughter and for Chow.

214
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:00.960
He has also been charged with first degree felony murder

215
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:05.000
for Martinez Mushuka. What happened yesterday was an unprovoked and

216
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:08.799
deliberate act of violence. Innocent lives were taken in broad daylight,

217
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:10.639
in a place where people should feel safe to run

218
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:14.039
their everyday errands and to live their everyday lives. Police

219
00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:17.360
were asked what Ninacer's motive was, and this is a

220
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:20.039
direct quote they said. He said that he was Jesus

221
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:23.399
and there was really no reason whatsoever given, it was

222
00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:28.320
completely random choosing of victims, Austin said. Austin police said

223
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.360
that on August eleventh, they responded and when they got there,

224
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:34.159
they found Martinez in the parking lot. Martinez was scooped up.

225
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:37.120
He was taken to the hospital, where he died from

226
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:40.360
his injuries. Chow, his wife, and their four year old

227
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:43.840
granddaughter were also taken or found in the parking lot.

228
00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:44.519
They said.

229
00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:47.039
Chow and his granddaughter were pronounced dead at the scene.

230
00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:50.639
Chow's wife suffered only minor injuries. They said that the

231
00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:54.639
investigation found that Ninacer randomly attacked Martinez Mashuka, who was

232
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:57.159
a target employee in the parking lot. So this poor

233
00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:00.759
guy is just at work. He shot and killed Mushuka,

234
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:04.200
who was collecting shopping carts. Ninaker then ran to a

235
00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:07.240
black jeep Cherokee and began firing as the jeep attempted

236
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:10.159
to evade the gunfire. Police say Ninacer then ran up

237
00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:12.559
to a gray Toyota four Runner, where he shot Chow

238
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:15.200
as he sat in the driver's seat. He then fired

239
00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:18.799
into the backseat, striking Chow Chow's four year old granddaughter.

240
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:22.559
Chow's wife carried their granddaughter from the vehicle, and Ninaker

241
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:26.039
pushed her from the vehicle. Nineacer then drove the Toyota

242
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:27.799
from the parking lot at a high rate of speed.

243
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.200
At approximately two to twenty pm, Nineacer found a water

244
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.480
truck parked alongside the block of Mopak Expressway. He opened

245
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:38.720
the driver's door and repeatedly assaulted the driver before pushing

246
00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:41.360
him out of the vehicle. Ninaker attempted to put the

247
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:43.960
truck into drive but was unable to. He then jumped

248
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:45.759
out of the truck and chased a mail with a

249
00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:48.480
pistol in his hand before running back to the stolen

250
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:51.000
for Runner, and he drove off. At approximately two to

251
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:54.480
twenty five pm, APD received a call of multiple vehicle

252
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:58.799
crashes as the stolen four Runner crashed into a Volkswagon

253
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:03.120
before landing on top of an Infinity Suv. Ninaker exited

254
00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:05.919
the vehicle, went over to the Volkswagen, opened the door,

255
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.240
and repeatedly assaulted the female driver of the Volkswagen. He

256
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:11.759
pushed the female driver of the Volkswagen out and then

257
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:15.399
drove off. At two thirty four a suspect matching Ninaker's

258
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:18.519
description exited the stolen Volkswagen and went up to a

259
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.559
Waymou vehicle and attempted to break into it. This failed,

260
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:25.720
and Ninaker returned to the stolen Volkswagen and drove away.

261
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:30.240
At two thirty seven, an acquaintance known to Ninacer through

262
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:33.679
Bible study reported that Ninacer had thrown a brick through

263
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:35.799
his residence at the twenty one hundred block of La

264
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.960
Casa Drive. Then at two fifty eight, the APD received

265
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:43.080
a call of a naked mail walking through a backyard.

266
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.360
Ninacer was observed running into a porta potty and then

267
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:51.480
leaving on foot. Officers located Ninaker walking naked on Montclair Street.

268
00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:54.919
He was issued commands. He did not comply. He was

269
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:58.000
tased and taken into custody. At three oh six pm,

270
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.960
officers checked the area and the matching suspect clothing previously

271
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:05.519
captured on surveillance, was located inside of the porta potty,

272
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:07.799
and they gave a little bit more information in a

273
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.679
different article that said that he had a history of assault,

274
00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:16.039
he had a history of family violence, criminal mischief, DWI

275
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:17.360
and possession.

276
00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:19.639
Not a good guy, no, and.

277
00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:23.360
I don't know what is in the freaking water. But

278
00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:27.480
this is the second time we've covered random shootings at

279
00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:31.519
like a major shopping outlet, if you will, this time

280
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:36.039
being Target, Last time it was Walmart. These you know,

281
00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:38.440
a stabbing in which a guy just went nuts and

282
00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:42.480
started stabbing people. This guy's going nuts, just shooting people.

283
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:45.039
I don't know what's going on, but the respect for

284
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:50.279
life is at all time low. In my opinion, nobody

285
00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:55.519
considers murdering somebody a big deal anymore. And it's you

286
00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:59.559
interested in saying, this guy's just working pushing carts in

287
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:03.039
this a asshold the sides, I'm just gonna kill you, yeah,

288
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:04.120
and take your life.

289
00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:04.720
Bruh.

290
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:07.399
You're working hard at targets, you know, it's not like

291
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:09.679
they pay a million dollars a year. You're out there

292
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:13.000
in Texas in the summertime pushing cards.

293
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:14.639
You know how hot that is?

294
00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:15.639
They earning your keep?

295
00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:18.480
Yeah, in this asshold the sides, it's a good time

296
00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:19.240
to end your life.

297
00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:19.840
Yeah.

298
00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:20.240
And you know.

299
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:22.879
What's what's crazy about this too, is that if you

300
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:23.480
look at.

301
00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:27.279
At studies of criminality and victimology, you know you live

302
00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:30.240
a high risk lifestyle. Things happen to you.

303
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:33.000
Okay, but you kind of know that going in.

304
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:37.039
Yeah, I mean, but this is not high risk lifestyle.

305
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:40.120
I mean this is Target, this is the upscale Walmart.

306
00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:42.200
You know you're going in to buy some groceries. You

307
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:45.480
have a grandparents with their grandbaby, and this poor woman,

308
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:49.080
miss Chow, just lost her husband and her grandbaby. And

309
00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:51.639
to think of the trauma to grab your grand baby

310
00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:54.519
and run and then to be pushed down by this

311
00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:59.320
guy and lose your family. Just right there is an

312
00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:04.440
un provoked Obviously he's nuts, but this is again, this

313
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:09.159
is criminal, criminal nuts. This isn't just someone that not

314
00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:10.879
that I don't I'm not trying to compare here, but

315
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:13.240
you know someone goes and robs a bank. Okay, you're

316
00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:16.240
a robber, You're a mean dude. This is crazy evil

317
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:19.639
you add, I mean, what in the world and just

318
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:22.399
changed so many lives forever. That poor kid, he's in

319
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:24.879
his twenties picking up shopping carts.

320
00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:29.279
Yeah, and you know you always read when these things

321
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:31.720
come out that the person had mental health issues. Well

322
00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:33.919
that's captain obvious right there.

323
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:34.559
And that's the breakthrough.

324
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:37.960
Obviously you got freaking mental health issues if you think

325
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:39.480
it's a good idea to get a gun and just

326
00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:43.159
start blasting in this and people, but that's not an out,

327
00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:46.679
that's not you know people. It seems like some people

328
00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:48.879
in the media are using this as an out. Well

329
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:52.759
he had mental health issues, now, shit, Charlock still doesn't

330
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:54.759
give him the right to go around and just start

331
00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:55.720
blasting people.

332
00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:57.639
What is causing it? I don't know.

333
00:16:57.720 --> 00:16:58.759
I mean, I tell you what's.

334
00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:02.399
Causing it, dw I possession assault. There's drugs involved here.

335
00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:05.039
I don't care what anybody says. When people start screaming

336
00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:07.440
that they're Jesus, we're usually on some type of upper

337
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:09.599
all right, some methamphetamine or something. And I know I'm

338
00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:13.160
projecting that, but in totality of circumstance, people start acting

339
00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:18.039
kukuokachu when they're on those uppers. Yeah, okay, so good,

340
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:22.119
you have some mental health problems. Wonderful. Well now you've

341
00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:25.359
ruined all of these lives. And for it's a cop

342
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:27.599
out to say, oh, well he had mental health issues, Well,

343
00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:29.960
then we as of people need to look where we're

344
00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:32.559
spending our money and where we're sending our funding, because

345
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:35.480
these people like this don't need to be walking the streets.

346
00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:38.000
Mental health issues need to be addressed. And there's a

347
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:40.960
long history of this. Yeah, clearly there's a rap sheet.

348
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:46.920
I agree. Let's get into uh DC. Okay, and look the.

349
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:52.200
If you're searching for articles to check out for crime

350
00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:57.359
right now, this is the leading one. Uh So, don't

351
00:17:57.359 --> 00:18:00.640
commit me with this is political. What it's not political.

352
00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:04.480
What we're talking about here is a pretty major historic

353
00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:09.079
step that has been taken in Donald Trump's crime cracked

354
00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:10.640
down in Washington, d C.

355
00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:13.319
Now, I'm gonna bring you back to the beginning of this.

356
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:18.039
The FBI sent one hundred and twenty agents into the

357
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:23.759
DC streets. This is as Trump targets carjacking and crime

358
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:28.200
inside the capital. So the FBI sent those one hundred

359
00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:31.119
and twenty agents on overnight shifts to help local law

360
00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:35.359
enforcement battle carjackings and other violent crimes. And this comes

361
00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:38.559
as Trump has threatened a federal takeover of the city,

362
00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:44.119
even as I'm intentionally reading you this as the article reads,

363
00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:48.279
even as data shows violent crime plummeted in the nation's capital.

364
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:53.039
The president was recently outraged after a young administration staffer

365
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:57.039
was reportedly assaulted in an attempted carjacking. And that, of

366
00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:00.759
course was who everybody knew his big balls and big

367
00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:05.640
balls was Elon Musk, kind of like kid genius that

368
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:11.119
was in charge of finding money for the program that

369
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:15.480
Elon Musk was overseeing for Donald Trump, and he was

370
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:18.319
actually defending his girlfriend and got the shit beat out

371
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:22.160
of him by like eight guys in Washington, DC. On Saturday,

372
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:25.519
Trump announced that a Monday press conference would end violent

373
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:28.599
crime in Washington. On Sunday, he took the true social

374
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:31.680
this time to call on the city's homeless to clear

375
00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:35.720
out immediately. The President compared his crime battling action to

376
00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:40.759
his work restricting illegal immigration on the southern border, etc.

377
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:46.880
So all this becomes threatened. And then on Monday, Donald

378
00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:50.200
Trump did indeed activate the National Guard and they have

379
00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:52.440
indeed taken over.

380
00:19:54.079 --> 00:20:00.480
Policing crime in d C, which is totally illegal. DC

381
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:02.000
is not a state, folks.

382
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:06.119
D C is a district that is kind of in

383
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:10.200
and of itself and totally funded by the federal government.

384
00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:15.200
So because of that, the federal government can enforce law

385
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:18.720
in Washington, d C. And it's not considered, you know,

386
00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:24.200
anything illegal or that you need congressional approval to do.

387
00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:28.039
So a lot of articles that I've come across are

388
00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:30.079
kind of only telling half the story. So I'm going

389
00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:33.279
to give you the full story at least on this podcast.

390
00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:35.720
And one of the things that they're pushing is crime

391
00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:38.200
is down. Crime is down in DC, crime is down.

392
00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:40.319
I'm going to give you the actual stats. So in

393
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:43.759
twenty twenty four, at this point in twenty twenty four,

394
00:20:43.839 --> 00:20:47.319
there were one hundred and twelve homicides. This year twenty

395
00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:50.240
twenty five, there are one hundred. So while it is

396
00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:54.880
in fact down, it is in fact horrible. There's still

397
00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:58.920
been a hundred people killed already in twenty twenty five.

398
00:20:59.519 --> 00:20:59.799
Down.

399
00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:02.599
I'm one hundred and twelve in twenty twenty four, So

400
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:06.319
that's homicide. Sex abuse twenty twenty four, one hundred and

401
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:09.400
ten twenty twenty five. Now that has went down about

402
00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:12.359
fifty percent, but you still got fifty five cases of

403
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:15.599
sex abuse already in twenty twenty five. Assault with a

404
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:19.440
dangerous weapon six hundred and sixty eight assaults in twenty

405
00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:22.839
twenty four twenty twenty five, five hundred and thirty four,

406
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:26.519
about a twenty percent drop there, but still five hundred

407
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:27.079
and thirty four.

408
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:28.119
Robbery.

409
00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:32.279
There's been almost of thousand robberies in twenty twenty five. Already,

410
00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:35.680
there were twelve hundred at this point in twenty twenty four.

411
00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:41.759
Violent crime just total fifteen hundred and eighty eight instances

412
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:44.960
of by a violent crime in twenty twenty five, four

413
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:47.240
hundred and forty three burglaries.

414
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:48.279
Motor vehicle thefts.

415
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:52.240
Don't have a car in DC because twenty nine hundred

416
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:55.240
and nineteen of them bitches have already been stolen this year.

417
00:21:55.880 --> 00:22:00.839
Theft from auto thirty seven, thirty nine, arson four cases,

418
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:05.400
property crime fourteen thousand, one hundred and fifty two cases

419
00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:10.880
of property crime, so all crime total fifteen thousand, seven

420
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:15.000
hundred and forty different cases already. So I bring all

421
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:20.039
that up to say this, Yes, by percentage, crime has

422
00:22:20.119 --> 00:22:24.839
gotten better, but it is by no means acceptable. That's

423
00:22:24.920 --> 00:22:28.599
the fact. So while it's improved, it's still horrible. It's unsafe,

424
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:32.440
And this is the nation's capital. It's our handshake right

425
00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:35.559
to the rest of the world. When they come, especially

426
00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:40.359
these dignitaries from other countries and they go to DC,

427
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:44.640
you want that to be exactly how you would envision

428
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:47.440
the nation's capital. You don't want it to be a

429
00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:51.160
third world country out there where four thousand vehicles have

430
00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:55.400
been stolen already this year. The violent crime people getting

431
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:58.920
the ship beat out of them in the street. My

432
00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:04.079
question is why does this even become an issue with

433
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:09.640
those out there that are Democratic or Republican or whatever

434
00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:16.000
that they're against the federal government helping the police. The

435
00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:20.720
police obviously are overwhelmed here. Obviously there's a problem. So

436
00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:24.480
there's nothing wrong. Hey if that, If your crime is

437
00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:27.640
that bad and you're a Democrat, it's probably happening in

438
00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:28.559
your neighborhood.

439
00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:30.119
And because these.

440
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:33.400
Are the lower the lower you know, this ain't happening

441
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:35.240
in the rich part of town. Let's put it that way.

442
00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:40.519
In Washington, this is happening in the lower income bracketed

443
00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:41.519
areas of town.

444
00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:44.200
And if I live in that area, I'm.

445
00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:46.880
Thinking bring the National Guard over here, put them right

446
00:23:46.920 --> 00:23:48.799
out in front of my front door so I don't

447
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:52.559
have to worry about a bullet flying through my window tonight.

448
00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:55.599
Well, to me, there's two there's two answers to that question.

449
00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:56.279
It's one of two.

450
00:23:56.839 --> 00:23:58.680
The only reason you would be against it is one

451
00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:02.079
simply because of the person who's putting it into effect,

452
00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:04.640
or which means you just are going to completely blankly

453
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:08.480
disagree with anything that the person does. Or two it's

454
00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:10.920
because people that you know and love are the ones

455
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:14.359
that are committing the crimes. That's the only too logical

456
00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:16.640
things I can come up with. But this is something

457
00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:18.319
and I'm not going to turn this into a school

458
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:20.559
lesson because nobody wants that. But when they say crime

459
00:24:20.599 --> 00:24:22.279
is down, this is something that I think the general

460
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:27.440
populace misses. Okay, population matters. Population differences have to be

461
00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:31.720
looked at. So, for example, DC population in twenty twenty four,

462
00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:34.960
seven hundred and two thousand people, Okay, compare that to

463
00:24:35.119 --> 00:24:39.759
Louisiana four point five to nine million people. Okay, So

464
00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:43.839
crime being down doesn't mean we just had They Sometimes

465
00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:45.799
in the media, they'll say crime is down. Oh, well

466
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:48.759
you had one thousand, you know, robberies, and we only

467
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:50.039
had eight hundred and ninety eight.

468
00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:51.799
Ooh, it's down. No no, no, no, no no.

469
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:55.119
When you take that whole number and you apply it

470
00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:59.279
to the differences in the population, then it could possibly

471
00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:03.160
mean that there's more crime per person happening when they

472
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:06.640
have such a smaller population, and that's per capital Yeah,

473
00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:08.680
it's per capita, And so we have to look at that.

474
00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:11.720
And I think a lot of people just buy into

475
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:14.440
the fact that when people say crime is down, well,

476
00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:18.640
when the crime is out of control, down still is

477
00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:19.599
above where we.

478
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:22.000
Need to be I mean it's insanity.

479
00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:24.079
You should never be walking out to your car have

480
00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:26.559
a gun put in your face and your vehicle taken

481
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:27.720
from you.

482
00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:29.279
Like that's just unacceptable.

483
00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:33.599
Like zero should be the standard, right, that should be

484
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:34.119
the standard.

485
00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:36.359
And look, we do live in the real world, and

486
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:39.440
there's never going to be zero crime.

487
00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:40.279
We know that, right.

488
00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:44.440
But when you know, it's not a flex to say, hey,

489
00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:45.480
we had one hundred.

490
00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:47.240
And twelve murders last year, we only had one hundred

491
00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:47.680
this year.

492
00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:50.279
That's not a flax, No, because you're still in the

493
00:25:50.279 --> 00:25:53.599
top five in the country. There's still a major problem there.

494
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:59.279
And look, I have no issue at all with whether

495
00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:02.519
it's Donald try making mouse. I don't care who it is,

496
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:06.319
attempting to do what they can to curb crime in

497
00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:09.119
d C or any other place. They ought to go

498
00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:11.799
to Baltimore too. They ought to go to New York

499
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:14.160
City too. They ought to go to South Shot. How

500
00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:17.960
about the South Side of Chicago, they ought to go there.

501
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:22.200
Let's get a hold of this crime problem that is

502
00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:26.839
just going rampant in our cities. Look, Batanur's Louisiana. No

503
00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:30.960
flex there. Their crime sucks too, and they need help too.

504
00:26:31.200 --> 00:26:34.519
Yeah, well, what's happening is it seems like we're turning

505
00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:37.559
into a crime culture where it's become so normal that

506
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:39.720
people are like, oh, okay, there's one hundred murders. We

507
00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:45.880
don't stop and look at the faces of every single victim.

508
00:26:46.319 --> 00:26:49.799
We don't stop and realize that these people are up.

509
00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:52.359
This is us, this is happening too, but no one

510
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:54.240
realizes it until it's their family, and then they go,

511
00:26:54.279 --> 00:26:55.039
wait a minute, Wait.

512
00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:57.039
A minute, I think you've hit hit the nail on

513
00:26:57.039 --> 00:26:59.680
the head when I think this is more about the

514
00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:05.200
person doing it than the action itself, because I don't

515
00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:07.119
know of anybody in the right mind that would have

516
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:10.920
an issue with what's being done unless they have an

517
00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:12.119
issue with the person doing it.

518
00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:14.680
I have no issue or they're doing crime.

519
00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:15.160
Yeah.

520
00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:17.559
Other than that, I can't understand it. I really can't

521
00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:18.119
understand it.

522
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:23.000
All right, So let's move to Kentucky and this story

523
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:26.079
hurt my heart, and you're going to see why. A

524
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:29.039
Louisville woman was abducted from her home near the Oxmoor

525
00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:32.359
Center along with her two children, before being forced to

526
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:35.720
withdraw twenty thousand dollars from a local bank at knife

527
00:27:35.759 --> 00:27:40.240
point this past Friday. The suspect Armand Langford, thirty two

528
00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:43.480
years old, was arrested later that day and faces multiple

529
00:27:43.559 --> 00:27:48.920
charges including robbery, kidnapping, and assault. Friday morning, Jennifer Strong

530
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:51.559
was making breakfast for her children when she heard her

531
00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:55.400
back door open twice. A man later identified as Langford

532
00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:58.759
entered her home armed with a knife. He had a knife,

533
00:27:58.839 --> 00:28:00.880
and he started to yell how many people are in

534
00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:03.720
this house? Strong said, I put my hands up. I

535
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.160
told him, don't hurt us. Langford ordered Strong, her eleven

536
00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:09.680
year old son, and her seven year old son into

537
00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:13.160
a car. Strong sat in the driver's seat with her

538
00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:16.079
older son behind her, and Langford sat in the back

539
00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:19.759
with her younger son with a knife pressed to Strong's throat.

540
00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:22.759
Langford demanded she drive to the P and C Bank

541
00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:26.640
on Shelbyville Road near Oxmoor Center. My oldest son had

542
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:29.119
his arms around my neck and he was begging the

543
00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:31.480
guy in the back seat not to kill me. Strong said.

544
00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:33.799
I asked him if I could reach around and hold

545
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:36.400
my youngest son's hand, and he said yes. And I

546
00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:38.680
just have to tell you, I can I visualize this

547
00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:42.160
that her poor son is behind her and has his

548
00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:45.359
arms around her neck to protect her neck from that knife.

549
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:47.599
I just see it like in my soul, and that

550
00:28:47.640 --> 00:28:49.680
poor baby was gonna protect his mama.

551
00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:50.559
That makes me sad.

552
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:55.319
Langford instructed Strong to drive faster, but she refused, saying

553
00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:58.240
there were many police in the neighborhood. Strong, a true

554
00:28:58.240 --> 00:29:01.000
crime enthusiast, said she tried. I had to gain Langford's

555
00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:02.680
trust by sharing personal information.

556
00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:04.119
I told the guy my.

557
00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:06.960
Oldest son was autistic, to please not hurt us, that

558
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:09.559
my youngest son was very scared. She said, if this

559
00:29:09.680 --> 00:29:11.920
is gonna happen, fighting him isn't the right way to

560
00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:14.119
do it. He has a knife and I have nothing.

561
00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:16.480
At the bank, Strong knocked out the window.

562
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:19.000
Boom.

563
00:29:19.359 --> 00:29:21.920
At the bank, Strong knocked on the window as Langford

564
00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:24.680
threatened the teller, I need twenty thousand dollars or I

565
00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:28.519
will kill her now. Strong recounted Langford's threat. Langford then

566
00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:31.240
ordered the children out of the car. Strong feared she

567
00:29:31.319 --> 00:29:33.640
might never see them again. I yelled out of the

568
00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:35.640
car that I loved them, and I said a prayer,

569
00:29:35.799 --> 00:29:37.759
and I took my hand and I grabbed my chest

570
00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:39.759
and I said to myself, this is what it feels

571
00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:42.519
like to die. I told the bank he's killing me.

572
00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:45.279
Now he's stabbing me again, and then they came out.

573
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:48.519
Strong said the bank tellers spread twenty thousand dollars on

574
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:51.759
the ground, Langford grabbed the cash and fled. Strong was

575
00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:53.920
taken to the hospital with stab wounds that came within

576
00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:57.400
centimeters of her Long She was released Friday and reunited

577
00:29:57.440 --> 00:29:59.960
with her family. It was the best moment of my life.

578
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:02.240
It will stay the best moment of my life, she said.

579
00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:05.759
Langford was arrested just after four thirty pm Friday near

580
00:30:05.799 --> 00:30:08.519
the Best Buy about a mile from the bank. Police

581
00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:11.400
said Langford broke into Strong's home, then abducted her and

582
00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:14.599
the children before the robbery. The children were not physically harmed,

583
00:30:14.599 --> 00:30:17.480
but they were traumatized by the ordeal. The family said

584
00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:19.599
this never would have happened if Langford had served his

585
00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:23.319
full sentence. In twenty twenty four, Langford was sentenced to

586
00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:27.039
fourteen years in prison for burglary and robbery charges, but

587
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:31.200
was released early on shock probation. I want to know

588
00:30:31.599 --> 00:30:34.720
how they're sleeping at night right now, Strong said her husband.

589
00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:38.559
Brandon Strong agreed, adding, you caused this. The physical wounds

590
00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:41.319
from the attack will feel will heal faster than the

591
00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:44.319
emotional scars. Another child was in the home at the time,

592
00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:47.240
but was asleep upstairs during the attack. My little brother

593
00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:49.519
has autism, and it breaks my heart for him that

594
00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:51.640
he'll never be able to express what he has seen

595
00:30:51.680 --> 00:30:54.960
all the way we can, and that's heartbreaking, she said.

596
00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:58.319
Strong's husband, Brandon, was not home during the incident. That's

597
00:30:58.319 --> 00:31:00.839
what I'm kind of losing sleep about not being here.

598
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:02.319
Brandon. Strong said the.

599
00:31:02.279 --> 00:31:04.440
Family has already gotten rid of the car used in

600
00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:06.640
the crime because it's too traumatic to be around it.

601
00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:09.759
The day after the attack, strong son turned eight, the

602
00:31:09.759 --> 00:31:13.200
family celebrated grateful everyone was alive to blow out the candles.

603
00:31:13.640 --> 00:31:16.759
Every day is a blessing. Take nothing for granted, Strong said.

604
00:31:17.079 --> 00:31:19.359
Langford is being held in a one billion dollar bond

605
00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:23.119
and faces multiple charges, including five counts of robbery, one

606
00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:26.039
count of kidnapping an adult, two counts of kidnapping a minor,

607
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:29.240
and one count of assault. He deserves the same terror

608
00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:32.559
that he inflicted on a Strong said. Langford is scheduled

609
00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:34.680
to be back in court on August the nineteenth.

610
00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:41.759
Yeah, obviously horrible, and this woman, you know, she was smart,

611
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:44.480
She was trying to do everything she could. She tried

612
00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:46.599
to put him at ease. She tried to get on

613
00:31:46.640 --> 00:31:51.319
a personal level with this person and in order to

614
00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:55.039
build tross. Maybe if he feels like he knows me,

615
00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:58.319
he won't be able to hurt me, you know, rather

616
00:31:58.400 --> 00:32:01.559
than panicking, which she could have done and just went

617
00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:05.200
the nuts, which everybody would have probably been killed in

618
00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:06.000
that situation.

619
00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:10.440
Smart lady in a really tough situation.

620
00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:13.519
Well, and I feel like, as a mama, if you

621
00:32:13.519 --> 00:32:16.359
put yourself in her shoes, can I hold my baby's hand.

622
00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:19.200
That was to reassure the child too, because my worst

623
00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:21.480
fear would not be being stabbed myself, it would be

624
00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:24.279
that he would stab my child. And so she let

625
00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:26.799
you know her oldest son is holding his arms around

626
00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:29.319
her throat. She's holding her baby's hand in the back

627
00:32:29.359 --> 00:32:32.480
seat and keeping her babies calm. Just don't hurt my babies. Please,

628
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:35.240
don't hurt my And every mother feels this right now,

629
00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:38.400
as does that poor dad who who feels lost because

630
00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:40.559
he wasn't there and his role, you know, daddy's roles

631
00:32:40.599 --> 00:32:41.519
are to protect their family.

632
00:32:41.559 --> 00:32:43.680
But how could he be known he was gone? He

633
00:32:43.720 --> 00:32:44.440
was probably at work.

634
00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:47.119
Oh yeah, it's certainly it's not his fault and.

635
00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:49.960
She's Hey, their last name is Strong and therefore it

636
00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:53.240
it's the right name because they did everything right. When

637
00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:54.960
you survive, you did everything right.

638
00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:55.640
That's right.

639
00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:59.880
Mu's go to Louisiana all right, and a freshman ellis

640
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:04.319
if you football running back turn himself into university police
