1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: The people who helped Tom Phillips should absolutely be packing

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: themselves because the cops are making it pretty clear they're

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: coming after them, and in a big way. Cops have

4
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: said today it is clear that Tom Phillips had help recently,

5
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: judging by the stuff that's lying around in the second camp,

6
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: And what police are planning to do is to trace

7
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: where that stuff came from. So, if it's not stolen,

8
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: where did it come from, who gave it to Tom Phillips.

9
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: If it's bought, who bought it for Tom Phillips? Her

10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: were the guns registered to. Now this is incredibly frustrating

11
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: to talk about because as of Monday, there is a

12
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: suppression order in the courts, which means the full picture

13
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: here is not out. But even without that full picture,

14
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: I think that what we already know is serious enough

15
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: for his accomplices to understand that they are in big

16
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: trouble if they get caught. One man is dead, a

17
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: police officer almost died, and those children were put in

18
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: harm's way basically every single day that they were in

19
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: the bush, at any time they might have come across

20
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: a police officer. Now imagine how much more dangerous it

21
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: would have been if it wasn't just one child, but

22
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 1: all of them with him when he was confronted by

23
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: a police officer and pulled a weapon on that officer

24
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: and kicked off a gunfight. He took a child to

25
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: rob a bank. He took a child to burglar dairy.

26
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: Who took a child to burgle pgg Rison. He gave

27
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: his daughter a gun. She pointed at someone during the

28
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: bank robbery. At any one of those moments, who knows

29
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: if they come across a cop, he pulled his gun

30
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: and kicked off a gunfight. Now, the accomplices cannot say

31
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: that they didn't know. This has been going on for years.

32
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: If they were helping him as recently as police believe,

33
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: then they knew and they deserve to be dragged before

34
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: the courts for it. For more from Heather Duplessy, Allen Drive,
